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)

Earthbound goes for something like £70 on ebay. I think it's Darius on the PC Engine that's the most expensive retro game, though. £600 a piece.

One game I've always wanted was Albion. I played the demo on PC, and became utterly addicted to the characters and plot. Excellent RPG stuff, crash landing on a planet, stuff like that.

Must find.

I know a decent site for SNES ROMS by the way, but can't remember it right now.

Ask me on MSN if you want to know.

And get Wonder Project J and Earthbound, because they're such odd games.

Now, here's a ZX Spectrum website. You can download an emulator from there

And here you can get some spectrum games:

It made me laugh, as sad as I am. :0)

I can see it now, the time travelling adventures of Tigger, as he tries to stop Dark Force from turning 100 Acre Wood into a desolate wasteland...

Hmmm. Weird anti leech script on that site. You can't download it unless you reach it from the homespage.

So if you click on that link, you'll eventually get sent back to the main page.

Just do a search for 'UFO' from there, and you'll get sent back to the same page - only this time it'll let you download it.

So nobody dare moan that this link doesn't work ;)
