I loved this game, the music the graphics, I was horrendous at it haha, but this epitomises the 80’s games. Fun, good music never ending and hard, but you always came back for more.

I remember playing this in the Arcade as a very young kid. Obviously, I didn't complete the stages, but I remember going for days at a time just to wait for the machine to be empty. Simpler times, good memories unlocked.

Ugh!A single-screen collec'em up written by Chris Morris and published by Softek for several 8-bit homecomputers.

The SpiderIt’s the year 2199 and your ship has been caught in a batch of strong magnetic storms and has somehow wound up near a black hole that is spewing robotic spiders and other insect-like creatures that are now attacking your ship. Programmed by Toshiyuki Sasagawa, who would go onto write music for many popular Hudson Soft games.

The HeistAs a cat burglar, it's up to you to collect all of the valuable paintings from each level while avoiding security systems, pits and robotic sentries which move back and forth. Each level is comprised of three floors and ladders connecting them. Your cat burglar has only the ability to jump, and you must rely entirely on that to keep you alive.

Roc 'N RopeYour player is a mountain climber who must avoid cavemen, dinosaurs and pterodactyls as he climbs up the cliff-sides. Your goal in each level is to climb up and reach a mystical bird with great plumage, while staying one step above the bonus timer which determines how long you may stay on each level. The mountain climber has only one ability; to shoot rope at 45 degree angles which he may then climb up to other platforms. His other action is a stun beam which will allow him to walk past enemies who get too close; but will only work horizontally from him. As for power-ups, on each level is (usually 2) a flashing diamond power-up which will make him invincible and allow him to defeat monsters. Also as a power-up are glowing treasures of some kind which are worth extra points.

Need for Speed: Underground 2

Need for Speed: Underground 2Need For Speed Underground 2 takes place in Bayview after the events of Need for Speed: Underground. The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan Skyline R34 in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFS:UG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.
