what was your best ever computer game ...?

[Gullet]

Resident Evil 2 on the Playstation. Turn off the lights and let the game pull you in. Genuinly scarey at times. Brilliant.

I'd forgotten good old Barry. I won that game in an Eastbourne Herald competition. And beat it if I recall. Still remember the cameras going off in the background.

 

[The Great Cornholio]

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.

This thread deserves a medal - it made me search again for my lost Vic 20 footy game and I found it! Amazing how the passage of time changes how you remember it. The short game had cup draws and everything - all in 16K of RAM.

And for old times sake, I played a game between the Albion and Liverpool. 4-2 to the Albion! 4-0 up at half time - Knight appealing for but not getting a penalty. Oatway and Hart booked for dissent. Spooky how a 20 year old computer can be so accurate!

I feel a NSC Vic20 football league coming on!

Wizball on the Atari ST
Wally Trolley on the C64
Boulderdash on the Atari ST

- Donkey Kong on the Dragon 32 was pretty good as well.
