@Sinton Nailed it! That’s a top level list of great games - I loved almost all of those to bits. What’s loaded on the system is a good starting point but these are the main glaring omissions.
As far as what I’d add: Cannon Fodder and Dune 2 for sure! ‘Ivan Ironman Stuart’s Super Off Road Racing’ was fun as hell too.
I’d upgrade to Settlers 2 and Sensible World of Soccer.
Loved Syndicate Wars - it was tough and tricky to control - but it was cool as f*^k and dripping with atmosphere!
There was a really cool battle / brutal football game where you maimed and killed your opponents which would have been cool.
Oh and a little free game from an Amiga Power cover disk called ‘Biplane Dual’ that was the best 1v1 game ever made!!
Loads of great Bitmap brothers games to delve into - and Psygnosis - / Bullfrog / Team 17. Wonder what those devs are doing now!
So glad it’s got super cars 2!
Can’t believe it’s not bundled with a Black and Yellow Zip Stick (with micro switch buttons [as opposed to inferior leaf sprung])
Was Robocod 2 actually any good? I think I just convinced myself it was coz Mario World looked so f*^cking cool!!
I want to know what other great game people loved - this is such a lush trip down memory lane!!
