What old games did you like...?

I have a few but to start does anybody remember Kick Off...?it was the only (i think) top down football game.It was absolutely class and I played it for years.I used to play this as far back as the Amiga and the Atari ST back in the early 90s.

I used to think how realistic it was....looking back on a few screen shots not it the graphs was crap but we did not no any better.

Times were simpler.

I never liked football games, but the my mates who did still talk about
Sensible Soccer on the Megadrive or Amiga, and get a bit teary eyed

My favourites were - Turrican, Smash TV, Prince of Persia, Robocop,

all on the Amstrad 6128.

I remember Super Kick Off (link to cover). I also had World Cup Italia '90 (another top down one). I loved the Road Rash games.

I was obsessed with the old text adventure games on the Spectrum... especially the ones by Level9 and The Hobbit, "Go North. Look. Listen. Take Gold. Belch!"

Then I got into arcade adventures, again on the Spectrum ... the ones I remember most clearly were Marsport and Dun Darach.

A long lasting obsession from that time is Starquake ... which I still play on a fairly regular basis. Simple, but excellent ... even today.

Archeron

Ooh, there were lots. Exolon, Bubble Bobble, Dizzy, Treasure Island Dizzy, Chaos (on the spectrum, not very well known, but brilliant!), IK+, Rick Dangerous, any of the car racing games, with the exception of Night Driver on the old atari block cartridge thing.
Now I want to play games instead of working.

Most of the non-sports Sega Megadrive ones (why use a keypad when you can have more fun doing it in RL, and with better grapics too!:D), and then on the PC:
Mechwarrior 1 (never managed to complete it though as in order to do the storyline you had to rush all over the place avoiding contracts and so it would be me solo against 4 Battlemasters [think that was the name, best mech in the game anyway] for the final battle:().
Captain Comic
Crystal Caves
F-19 Stealth Fighter
