Nice to know you always had terrible taste.

There was much better stuff you could've been playing.

The Double on Speccy 48k

I loved that game like no other manager game. First game I paid coin of the realm for.
Forever tried to be awesome in the first season cos the big clubs always sold their teams after two or three years and you had to start in Div 4 (the old one) and it was so random and yet so very very addictive.
My conviction is born to damn the fuckers who doubted me. To rise to great heights even beyond my own legend as a Great Cocksmith, Master Pintsman, and stunningly handsome Prince of Light in these dark Dark Ages!

Oddworld Abe's Odyssey. That game was and remains absolutely brilliant. Loved it as a kid and love it even more now.

Forgot about that one, never owned it myself but played it round at mates a lot.

Oh, and Kickstart; I played loads of that when I was very young and we had a C64.

As for arcade games; played loads of Asteroids as my dad bought a full arcade cabinet which was broke with it on and got it running again for us... I had a little stool to stand on whilst playing and everything!

Fire Ant and Treasure Island on the Plus 4.

Head Over Heels and Match Day (and virtually any Ocean game from that era) on the ZX.

Skidmarks.

Can't remember which platform as I used to play it round a mates but that was a great game. Remember been blown away by the track being clean at first then as you raced around, skidmarks (of all things!) would appear on the bends :P
