Galax-i-Birds
Neo-Rio says: A simple game plagued by crazy-sprite-o-rama. Yep, it's that oldskool game design technique where every new level gives you something weird to shoot at. Fortunately the music is fun and randomly generated. Jeff Minter would be proud.

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.

One Man and his Droid
Neo-Rio says: This game has to be one of the most frustrating of all time. You think you've got a sheep and then... it escapes! If you haven't pulled all your hair out by then, you'll really enjoy the Hubbard soundtrack.

Dropzone
Mayhem says: Utterly superb shooter based on Stargate by Archer Maclean. If you can't beat it, copy it!

Xybots
Neo-Rio says: Although largely a disappointment on the C64 (thanks to the Spectrum look and feel), the game is still somewhat fun. It's like Gauntlet in 3D, and once you get used to the controls - you may have a blast.

Jet Set Willy
Neo-Rio says: By the author of Manic Miner, Jet Set Willy is also a classic platformer. The most enjoyable thing about it are the theme-based rooms. Try to find the "Entrance to Hades"!

Gateway to Apshai
J2003C says: The looks are deceptive here. Completing each dungeon takes skill, patience, experience and knowlege about the monsters. Quite addictive!
|
Castle Wolfenstein
Neo-Rio says: "Achtung!" As well as being banned in Germany, this is the original inspiration for iD's "Wolfenstein 3D" and the FPS genre. This golden oldie forces you to rely on stealth more than firepower however. In game speech too.

Wargame Construction Set
Neo-Rio says: Make your own war games! You get to design everything, from map, army, unit strength. Recreate historic battles or futuristic wars. Make a game, and let the whole world play it!
