Paul Woakes‘ third game in the Mercenary series (after Damocles) retains all the flying, exploration and puzzling of the first two games, but also allows you to fly off planet, and visit other places in the Gamma System.

Elite Plus, PC
There were many versions of the classic space combat/trading game, Elite. The best, though, is arguably Elite Plus on the PC in VGA. Made by Chris Sawyer of Realtime Software in 1991.
Stunt Car Racer, Amiga
Geoff Crammond‘s Stunt Car Racer on the Amiga is a blistering game!

Shenmue, Dreamcast
Some nice grabs from Shenmue on the Sega Dreamcast. An all-time gaming classic.
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.
