"Games you must play before you die."

Okay... we've all had different experiences with games. We've all found different games we've been addicted to, and we've all missed a great many releases too. Here's a chance to inform everyone else of the great releases they may've missed.

So... the purpose of this thread. Nominate a game.... preferably one that will be easy for people to get gold of (whether by rental, emulation, download, or whatever), and the rest of us will try it out.

I'd start the ball rolling by nominating the following:
UFO: enemy unknown (can be downloaded off the net somewhere)
QuazatronParadroid (get a C64/Spectrum emulator and rom)

Hmmm. Some of their pages seem to be down....

I'm enjoying it. Love the missions, but keep getting shot at by those pesky aliens. Nice learning curve though, think I'm beginning to get the hang of it!

Oh, and when are you likely to be on MSN?

Probably this evening. Then again, I never really know!

But I just remembered part of the URL, and have managed to find the link anyway:

They only have SNES roms, but a decent selection of them.

Wonder Project J is an interesting game, haven't played it for long yet, but it's different.

Meka, what did you think of UFO?

I thought RIVEN was a special game. The puzzles were devilishly difficult yet at the same time deviously intelligent.

if you like football you must play championship manager before u die.

Just got stuck into Harvest Moon again... I need to raise £5000 so I can make my house bigger... need money... must sell potatoes.

Hide the sausage, you MUST play that before you die!

Damn these spectrum emulators. I can't work out the bloomin' controls... you wouldn't have thought it would be hard to simulate a keyboard interface, using a keyboard, would you?

But you'd be be wrong.

And there's no sound. I'm gonna go try out some different emulators later.... and I'm going to find a copy of Dark Sceptre. It had me addicted when I was younger, so it must be good ;)


And for some reason (really must stop starting sentences with 'And'... it's terrible style..), it never seems to be as much fun playing emulated games as it is playing them on the real console. Wonder why?....

Get round to it, the SNES version is a lot better... but make sure your family know where you are before you start. It's a bit addictive.

Small, but excellent list of SNES roms there. Earthbound, Harvest Moon, Metroid, all the greats.

And a Hentai Game. :0)

Not to everyone's tastes, but everyone has to

I played this on Gameboy, very enjoyable, I have the SNES version emulated, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
