what was your best ever computer game ...?

[tedebear]

donkey kong on commodore c64..... which later become a handheld Nintendo 2 screen LCD game.... joyous!!

 

[SK1NT]

wonder boy in monsterland (master system)
golden eye (N64)

 

[Wilko]

SF2 and Mario Kart on the snes - used to get blisters on me thumb

 

[The Great Cornholio]

Soccer Star
Emlyn Hughes International Soccer
Matchday II

All on the Spectrum 128k

Emlyn Hughes it is! I can play it on my Pocket PC with a C64 emulator - which is nice! Matchday II is also very good.

Other favourites include :-

Software Star - C64 (Very sad game by the makers of Football Manager in which you run a software company)
Football Manager - ZX81 (The first game I ever played at home and the game that introduced me to computers. Probably influenced my career!)
Hyper Sports - C64 and arcade
Summer Games - C64. The ebst graphics in a game. Ever! (At the time anyway)
Star Trader - C64 (Very basic Elite alike but kept me entertained for hours)
Wacky Waiters - Vic 20
Football? - Vic 20 - Can't remember what this was called and can't find a rom on the net anywhere. Each side of the tape had a different game. The short game let you type in team names and played games - with no user input at all! The long game let you type in players names and then played a game in the style of Champ Man - again with no user input. Sounds very worthless and sad now but when your 12 in the early days of computing it was class!

I must stop else I'll keep droning on like an old fart - Green Beret, Uridium, Parallax, Wizball, Daley Thompsons Decathlon, Brian Jacks Superstar, Ring of Fire etc. etc. etc.

Wacky Waiters was rock hard. Three trips and you lost - it was alost impossible not to trip. I seem to remember buying it from the Friday Ad - that was probably just before Boots became the place to buy games. £1.99 for a game - happy days. One Man and his Droid, Booty, Kikstart etc.

Oooo, oooo - just thought of another good one - Clumsy Colin's Action Biker on the C64. I think he was the KP Skips character. That game was so good that I completed it on an emulator a few years ago. Riding around a wraparound landscape complete with rollercoaster and building site, picking up helmets as you go. If anyone is bored and has an emulator - give it a go, it's addictive.

Find the rom on here (Under Action Biker):-

[Easy 10]

I was moved to tears the other day when I saw a screenshot of Ant Attack on the Spectrum. 3 dimensional graphics was actually sexually arousing to a 12 year old in those days.
Who could ever forget the immortal:

[blue-shifted]

Yes. Kick off 2 and Goldeneye. used up a lot of life on those

 

[Albion Dan]

Kick Off 2 on the Amiga

Football Manager on the spectrum, those sexy little stickmen playing out the action in front of your eyes and the fart noise when you missed a shot.

Winter Olympics on the C64. Hours and hours of fun with my mates.

Kick Start on the C64, think it only cost £2.99 or something, superb entertainment as you tried to take your cyclist across the 2D track without breaking his shins.

 

[Wozza]

Oh.
