Dizzy (Codemasters) (Commodore 64/128)

If you're only planning to play one Dizzy game ever, make sure it's this original - it didn't rely on the general egg hype to get itself sold, and actually has some elements of original gameplay in there.

Double Dragon (Tronix) (Commodore 64/128)

Probably the best new wave beat-'em-up to hit the arcades in years past.

Game Over (Summit) (Commodore 64/128)

This is totally nob. It's too difficult too soon (there's nothing wrong with difficulty, it's just got to increase gradually), and it's no fun.

Ghost Hunters (Codemasters) (Commodore 64/128)

One of the more playable titles in Codemasters' collection, so I'd advise you to get hold of a copy not only because it's good fun, but also because the odds are you won't have anything all that similar in your collection already.

Glider Rider (Bug Byte) (Commodore 64)

If you want a game with a strong, original idea behind it, this is a definite buy, but the fun factor does tend to wear off after a while.

Meganova (Alternative) (Commodore 64/128)

It makes for a snazzy little shoot-'em-up, but it's nothing you haven't seen before in the bargain bin at Boots.

Olli And Lissa 3 (Cartoon Time) (Commodore 64/128)

An impressively good platform romp type thing.

Saboteur (Encore) (Commodore 64/128)

As far as this little number's concerned, it plays a vital role in my collection as the best form of stress-relief since thrash music - maybe you need a little brutal violence in your life?

Spindizzy (Winner) (Commodore 64/128)

A wonderful little game that definitely deserves a look.

Spy Vs. Spy Trilogy (Hi-Tec) (Commodore 64)

The first Spy Vs. Spy 1 was a lovely little game. The only problem was that the two sequels were just the same, with no real modifications as far as the gameplay was concerned.

Steve Davis Snooker (CDS) (Commodore 64)

Snooker - what a hideously dull game. Nice conversion though. Nice, but dull.

Winter Games (Kixx) (Commodore 64/128)

Games like this can't really date. Especially when you see them being re-released again and again.

James Pond 2 Robocod (Kixx) (Commodore 64/128)

Despite a few faults, Robocod is a good game. There's not much new in it... but it's fun, and you'll probably derive some pleasure from a cyberfish with an infinitely expanding waistline.
