Uridium, BBC Micro
Another conversion, but a very good one. Andrew Braybrook‘s classic horizontally-scrolling shooter, Uridium.
Jet Set Willy, BBC Micro
Matthew Smith‘s brilliant Jet Set Willy translates perfectly well to the BBC Micro.
Chuckie Egg, BBC Micro
Once again the BBC Micro version goes for a chunkier screen mode than try to emulate the ZX Spectrum original with less colours.

The Sentinel, BBC Micro

Geoff Crammond‘s The Sentinel is a strategic game of ‘hide and seek’ – played-out on a chequerboard-like surface over which a being called The Sentinel watches.
