Best 128K exclusive games

Post by Pegaz »

These days I started to make some list of the best 128k only games and it would be nice to see some suggestions.
Some of the new hits are an obvious choice:

Dizzy VII
Sword of Ianna
Brunilda
Castlevania
Survivisection
Cray 5
The Hobbit 128k

...together with some old classics:

Where time stood still
Abadia del Crimen
Prince of Persia

I also wanted to make a list of 2A/+3 exclusive games, but for now I only know three of them:

Galaxy emulator (TomCat)
Pacman emulator (Simon Owen)
Space Invaders (Simon Owen)

Renegade 128K is technically an exclusive. It's more than just the music, there's a shoulder throw move. I don't know if that fits into your requirements.

Yes, you are right, Ralf has made a virtually new game that certainly meets all the requirements: one of the biggest Spectrum hit, 128K only.

I would also like to add some more:

Funky Fungus
Cattivik
Oddie the Viking
Commando Tracer
Pentacorn
Wanderers - Chained in the dark
Twinlight

...are all newer and great games.

Robocop 2 and Where Time Stood Still are the two that immediately spring to mind.
