Looping is an old arcade game first released in 1982 by Venture Line.
In it you fly a plane across a horizontally-scrolling cityscape, doing loop-the-loops and trying your hardest not to hit the buildings.

Uridium, Atari ST
Andrew Braybrook‘s classic C64 shooter, Uridium, was given a 16-bit release courtesy of Joe Hellesen and Mindscape in 1986.
Cannon Fodder 2, Amiga
Cannon Fodder 2 is for players who want more Cannon Fodder action, and simply did not get enough of its predecessor. Sadly, it’s not quite as good as the first game, so may cause an overdose…
Sensible World of Soccer, Amiga
Arguably the best version of Sensible Soccer, on any system. It has international and domestic teams, leagues, cups, friendlies, career mode, specials, and more. The level of detail is quite remarkable.
Sensible Soccer, Atari ST
The Atari ST version of Sensible Soccer is just as good as its Amiga parent, to all intents and purposes. Even the scrolling is smooth, which is quite rare on the ST!
Boulder Dash, Atari ST
A conversion of the classic Atari 8-bit/Commodore 64 puzzle game, Boulder Dash, although this one dispenses with the original levels and introduces new ones. And in my opinion, it fails because of that.
H.A.T.E., Atari ST
H.A.T.E. is a pretty good conversion of a well-known ZX Spectrum shoot ’em up. It was published by Gremlin Graphics in 1989.
H.A.T.E. is subtitled “Hostile All-Terrain Encounter“, which it is, being a loose sequel to Vortex Software‘s classic Highway Encounter (H.A.T.E. was made by the same guy and uses the same viewpoint).
Fire and Ice, Atari ST
Fire and Ice is a platform game designed and programmed by Graftgold in 1992. It features a ‘cool’ coyote traversing a range of themed platform worlds, starting off in icy worlds and moving towards warmer ones nearer the equator.
Armalyte, Atari ST
Armalyte is a 1991 conversion of the classic Commodore 64 shooter by Cyberdyne Systems. Actually, it’s not really a conversion – more of a ‘re-imagining‘. More accurately: a ruining…
Thrust, Atari ST
Thrust is a conversion of the late Jeremy Smith‘s classic BBC/Commodore 64 gravity game, and it is a very good one.
