That there is Target: Renegade.

Schoolboy error.

It was miles better than the original though, not even sure if the original came out on the mighty speccy.

My all time bestestests were probably Dark Sceptre and Feud.

Another personal fave was 'Caveman Ugh-lympics', a prehistoric T&F

....and what about the classic

Way of the exploding fist - pinnacle of 8bit violence

and relating to this forum - Match day - ultra realistic footy game - ultra cr*p rendition of the match of the day theme

Damn those ritman rovers!!!!

Ok before we start, let me point out that I can play whatever game available for a PC on my Mac. Intel chip and all.

But that game, Dare Devil Denis was on a floppy disk on a BBC computer. Memories.

indeed, they have come a long way, it's not the same without the sound of the tape though, you could clear the area of dogs whilst loading jet set willy.
