Retro Gaming - The Definitive List

come on then, lets all take a trip down memory lane. what games for the consoles/computers you owned 'back in the day' were the ones that you always played?

For me I'd have to go for:
Spectrum -
Dizzy series; I know it was on all platforms but it was a superb series of games nonetheless
Joe Blade; Side scrolling shooter which I just loved
And one out of the blue........
Rapscallion; absolute classic game hehe

Sega Mega Drive -
Streets of Rage series; need I say more. That music is legendary
Toejam and Earl; see above :D
Even now I load up the genesis emulator and get the toejam and SOR roms out

PC -
Doom/Doom2 (not a big fan of Final Doom and Doom3); What.....a.....cracker!
Quake (again, not a massive fan of Q2/Q3/Q4); First multiplayer game I played online....oh the many hours on Wireplay dial-up!! :roll:

I was part of one of their WPDML (deathmatch leagues) for Quake. God knows how much that costed me over the year.

I think BT did take them over yeah.
