Correct...!

Try this one then:

Awesome Speccy artist, those screens are proper quality.

Well, that's that then.

See you guys on the Amiga forums...

Looks faintly familiar but can't place it. Am getting random thoughts about missile defence games.

Well, can you believe it - my first reaction was Android Two . The daft thing is that I didn't recall it using rotate movements in that game, so I looked it up (and snuck a peek at the review just in case). There's a review with almost that exact wording (but not quite). So by a bit of a fluke I dis...

Ikari Warriors?

Let's fix it by saying that is a machine that shakes things...

Kudos for the effort in playing the game till you got that particular graphic to show up

Oh my! I vaguely remember Merlin and just knowing that there was no way it'd be playable with that massive sprite. Haha, I can imagine the discussion with the graphic artist. "Oh - you said the sprite had to be 16 pixels ...?! Errrm..." Bit like Spinal Tap's stonehenge monument but in rev...

Not sure if I'll ever reach the Central Cavern 1,724+ club

1. Ikari Warriors 2. Last Ninja II 3. Dark Side Played the Ikari Warriors demo to death. Possibly even more than the game when I finally got it. I suppose Last Ninja II wasn't quite as good a game as I expected when I came round to playing the full game, but I remember being wowed by the detailed an...

@clebin took one for the team and played it through to completion, so that the rest of us don't have to ever play it again

Ah - brilliant..! Exactly what I was after, thanks. I thought I'd seen it somewhere...

I already know which one of these I'm going to vote for...

Dark Star



(Supertramp lyrics I believe).

Apparently some of these Design Design score tables also had a whole load of responses if you typed certain things into the high score table.

(Crash letters page). Not sure if there's a full list somewhere?

Woohoo

Am a bit busy today so anyone feel free to jump in

Rygar

"Boffin", lol... Vaguely remember watching a bit of Get Fresh.

15 seconds to play Starglider? It'd take me longer than that to figure out the keys.

All decent games... And a rare poll where I've actually played them all

1. Starquake
2. Wizard's Lair
