I rememebr buying a magazine where you could programme your own game.. days and days i typed in all the bloody code and in the end the game wouldn't work ... gutted :(

First games I ever played were on my dad's Amiga 1200 back in the early 90s.

Chaos Engine

Pac-Mania

UFO: Enemy Unknown - Turn based strategy game. Probably one of the hardest games I ever played. I don't think I've ever managed to finish it.

Syndicate - Point and click dystopian violence.
Image

Zool - Can you say 'product placement'? :lol:

It made up for the mediocre gameplay with one of the best in-game soundtracks ever

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Daley Thompson's Decathlon on my Speccy. Broke my computer playing that - the joystick interface wobbled and shorted out the circuit board or something. Had to take my dear old 48k Speccy to the Post Office and send it off to be fixed.
