Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
Neo-Rio says: Educational games are rarely this good. Track down Carmen by following geographical clues. This game spawned a franchise of games, and even ended up as a cartoon series too.

Galaxy
Neo-Rio says: An official version of the arcade classic "Galaga" never made it to the Commodore 64, but this knock-off is a very good one which has all the excellent features of the original.

Wicked
graveyardjohn says: A very different game where you encourage your own good spores to grow while defeating the evil spores, helped or hindered along the way by tarot cards. Originally cost me a fiver, and was worth every penny.

Master of Magic, The
Neo-Rio says: A simple RPG game, which slowly becomes an addiction as you try to get the amulet to return to your own world. Complete with a Rob Hubbard soundtrack.

Garrison
Neo-Rio says: Oh, how I like Gauntlet clones! This one's not too bad - but a bit flawed from the abundance of demons on every level. You can have up to 3 players at once in this one, so someone better get used to the keyboard!

Mummy's Tomb, The
Neo-Rio says: Cute and easy little maze game. Also admirably attempts to play the first few bars of The Doors' "Light my Fire" when you manage to pick up the lantern!

Hacker
graveyardjohn says: LOGON PLEASE: is of course how this starts, but to say more would spoil the fun, half of which is to find out exactly what to do! Tricky, engrossing, and sometimes frustrating, but entertaining nonetheless.

Brian Jack's Uchi-Mata
Steve says: I never thought Judo could ever be done well on a home computer. Until i tried this game. As soon as you get the hang with your joystick, you won't stop playing matches over and over again.

Crime and Punishment
Neo-Rio says: Here, you are a very angry (and very green) judge who must decide on appropriate punishments for virtual criminals. Here's your chance to give the death penalty to jaywalkers.
