Knight Lore by Ultimate Play The Game, first released for the ZX Spectrum in 1984, changed the way games were viewed, and played at the time.
Tag Archives: Cult Hit
Frontier: Elite II, PC
David Braben‘s long-awaited 1993 follow-up to the classic space trading game Elite unfortunately doesn’t involve Ian Bell.
The Last Blade, Neo Geo
The Last Blade is arguably THE BEST beat ’em up on the Neo Geo, which is saying something as that particular platform is awash with beat ’em ups.
Radiant Silvergun, Sega Saturn
Treasure‘s 1998 Sega Saturn-based shooter is an absolute classic in terms of imagination and spectacle.
Alien 8, Amstrad CPC
The famous Ultimate ZX Spectrum game, converted skilfully to the Amstrad CPC and eclipsing the original in the process. More colour – less slowdown! 🙂
Worms, PlayStation
The 1995 PlayStation version of Andy Davidson‘s classic Worms is undoubtedly the best version of the game ever made. Ocean and Team 17 collaborated on this release.
It is an incredible multiplayer game, for up to four people.
Far Cry, PC
Far Cry is one of the greatest first-person shooters ever made. Sure: it looks a little simplistic now, but at the time of release (2004) it was a revelation.
Dungeon Master, X68000
I’ve picked this version of Dungeon Master to show first, because it features some nice extended graphics, which are unique and don’t get shown very often.
Frak!, BBC Micro
Orlando’s Frak! first came out on the BBC Micro in 1984 and instantly became a cult hit.
Armalyte, Commodore 64
Developed by Cyberdyne Systems and published by Thalamus (the software arm of Newsfield Publishing), Armalyte is known for its furious blasting action, and it’s wonderfully detailed and atmospheric graphics.
