I thought of another one. Interstate 76.

That game was awesome.

Oh that's so cool. Unlimited choices indeed.

I'd also go with Duke 3D. Now, THAT was a fun game, especially in Lan party

Starsiege, Outcast, Space Empires IV Gold, MOO2, Baldur's Gate 2,

First post after some quiet reading, but that's indeed a serious matter you guys are discussing here  

Anyway, after a swift sweep over my game boxes : Gunship. Too bad there are so few Helicopter sims around these days, but that's true for too many kinds of games.

I refuse myself being that. I mainly thought of Duke 3D because it lacked in sufficent mouse support. It's like a lazy car: you cannot normally control it with a mouse.

Some words for you:
The exits are to your left and right. Flamethrowers are under your seats, but they are sometimes filled with water. If this occurs, please check the lockers for the old shotguns.
Stay away from the admin's weapon lockers and the air vents. If you see a large, insectoid-looking creature inhabiting the latter, throw him a large piece of meat (preferably not yourself), and he will leave you alone.
Thank you and have a nice day!

Thank you, Topace. I'll see that I'm not fed to any beasts around here.

Just another thought that hit me under the shower this morning : Paradroid. A truly great game.

Quazatron was better in my opinion But yeah it was a fun game

Ranarama was the best of the action with little logic puzzles to get new equipment type games though

[Flipside]

Ranarama rocked, I remember once I even bought a game-creator package (which are probably worse than programming raw code) to try and do something along similar lines on the PC. You gained runes by defeating warlocks and necromancers, and then used those runes to assemble more powerful spells
Never got off the ground, as I said, easier to type raw code

Paradroid, Quazatron and Ranarama. Three titles I have never heard of.

Paradroid.  Wow, someone mentioned that title .

Paradroid is a game for the Commodore 64.  A bunch of ships full of robots got infected with some virus, you have to go destroy/take over all the robots and save the ships blah blah.  The graphics are obviously dated, but it's buckets of fun.

Star Trek: The Next Generation: A Final Unity.
And the Armadas.
Those could use a good update.

They're (almost) older than you are, that's why

I keep toying with the idea of writing a Java port The only thing stopping me is that you can already get a Java Spectrum emulator anyway

I'm glad to know I'm not the only fan of the game around. I copleted it on the spectrum and I have a snapshot of the time I completed twice in a row because I'd heard that if you did you got a screen where Mervyn is presented with two potion bottles and gets a chance to turn himself back to a human.  Sadly I was misinformed

While were on about 8-bit games. Target Renegade. Best beat-em-up. Ever.

I played Ranarama on an Amstrad emulator recently, all I can say is my reflexes have slowed down

That's highly possible.

Couple of the others you mention should also be up there.
