Ultimate Play The Game‘s Underwurlde was first released on the ZX Spectrum in 1984 and was the company’s eighth release (actually a simultaneous release with Knight Lore), and the third game featuring the lead character ‘Sabreman’ (Sabre Wulf and Knight Lore being the other two).

Oblivion, PC
Or, to give the game its full title: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion – the fourth game in the popular Elder Scrolls series.
Super House of Dead Ninjas, PC
This lovely ‘modern retro’ game has been made to look and play like a Super Nintendo game. And I mean that as a compliment.
Limbo, PC
Dark and disturbing, Playdead’s Limbo is a small boy’s journey into a world filled with deadly traps and killer monsters.
Zool 2, Atari Jaguar
Gremlin Graphics‘ lollipop-endorsing, ninja hero Zool was in our faces all throughout the early ’90s. He was supposed to be a kind of ‘anti-hero alien ninja’ to mirror the ‘coolness’ of Sega‘s Sonic the Hedgehog, but only made relatively minor inroads into gaming history with two games that originated on the Amiga then were later ported to a variety of different platforms. Zool 2 was converted to the Jaguar by Imagitech Design and was released in North America and Europe in 1994, and later in Japan, in 1995.
Ant Attack, ZX Spectrum
This innovative 1983 ZX Spectrum game was one of the very first to use isometric 3D graphics.
Contra III: The Alien Wars, Super Nintendo
Arguably the best instalment in the infamous Konami Contra franchise, Contra III (aka Super Probotector in Europe) is a balls-to-the-wall run-and-gun, side-scrolling shooter than can be played one or simultaneous two-player.
Impossible Mission II, Commodore 64
The sequel to the classic Impossible Mission by Epyx is arguably just as good as the original, but with updated graphics and puzzles.
Super Ghouls ‘N Ghosts, Super Nintendo
This suped-up version of Capcom‘s classic Ghouls ‘N Ghosts on the Super Nintendo is a massive amount of fun to play!
Fallout: New Vegas, PC
Fallout: New Vegas really is the game Fallout 3 could have been. Don’t get me wrong: I liked Fallout 3 (and loved Fallouts 1 & 2), but the storytelling and decision-making in Fallout 3 I felt left a LOT to be desired.
