The Amstrad CPC version of Ultimate‘s famous Knight Lore is the best-looking version, in my opinion.

Knight Lore, BBC Micro
Legendary developer Ultimate Play The Game gave good support to the BBC Micro, releasing many of their iconic games on the platform.
Bubble Bobble, BBC Micro
This 1989 BBC Micro conversion of Taito‘s classic arcade game, Bubble Bobble, was never commercially released. Which is a shame because it is rather excellent.
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.
Citadel, BBC Micro
Citadel was a 1985 release for the BBC Micro by Superior Software. It was written by Michael Jakobsen.
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.
Thrust, BBC Micro
The late Jeremy Smith‘s classic gravity game, Thrust, came out first on the BBC Micro in 1986, before being converted to every other platform on the planet.
Firetrack, BBC Micro
Released by Electric Dreams Software in 1987, Firetrack is a fast vertical shooter, designed and programmed by Nick Pelling (aka Orlando), the guy who made Frak! (among others).
The Sentinel, BBC Micro
Another timeless classic video game that originated on the BBC Micro in 1986.
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.
