Rainbow Islands
Neo-Rio says: Sequel to Bubble Bobble, this game is just as good - if not better. Beautiful conversion of the arcade game. Playability is nearly "arcade perfect".

Paradroid
graveyardjohn says: How could we not include this?! Move from floor to floor, dispatching or taking over robots on the way. A combination of mild shooter and puzzler, this will keep you glued for ages.

Hocus Focus
Neo-Rio says: A punk haired reporter has to sneak into the mad professor's lair and take photos of bits his latest invention - just mind the weird ghosts, and don't forget the keys to the fans. Enjoy Whittaker's "Lazy Jones"-esque music too.

Arnie
Neo-Rio says: This little budget offering is hugely playable. Best way to describe it would be Commando in 3D
|
SWIV
Neo-Rio says: I love blasters. SWIV is the sequel to "Silkworm". Yet another shooter which is very well done and playable. Somebody has to play as the jeep though...

Street Sports Basketball
J2003C says: The fighting and no-rules style of play are really fun and funny. AI is easy to beat, so 2P is always more challenging. Too bad you can't play this physical in real life!

Bobby Bearing
Neo-Rio says: A classic on the Spectrum, the C64 version is not very different. An addition of a jolly music score will inspire you to find all the bearings across a "Marble Madness" inspired world.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
Neo-Rio says: If you're too young to remember He-Man, then you missed out on cartoons, plastic toys, a feature film... and this game. It's not a good game by a long stretch, but the Ben Daglish soundtrack gives me some nostalgia.
|
Retrograde
Neo-Rio says: Another great game. A cross between "Defender" and "Forgotten Worlds". The graphics and gameplay don't disappoint... the only thing you'll regret is a sore fire button finger!
