    Dynamite Dan II has issues, that's enough to put me off, plus I just don't like it as much as the first.

    I went to have a quick play of it just now for a quick reminder, and I don't even have it in my Speccy games folder, I guess that shows just how great it is :))

    I never played Dynamite Dan or the sequel BITD and playing them more recently I can't really get into either. They look lovely but there seems to be baddies crammed in every which way. If I want to play a stupidly difficult platformer I go for Technician Ted every time (which I played a lot BITD).

    Oh, and I've been checking out the Nostalgia Nerd channel. Nice vids on there :)

    Every time I read that the oldest person in the world has died, I have to do a quick check to see it isn't ME..........

    I should've put Lazy Jones, Rex, Herberts Dummy Run, and Space Harrier 2 on my list, oh well I knew I'd have missed some or changed my mind soon anyway.

  • dmsmithdmsmith
    yeah, in hindsight i missed a few too

    I'd have to give mention to Highway Encounter.

    I must also add Fighter Pilot to my list. I don't really play it these days but I did back in the day, it was (in my opinion) the best flight sim around at the time. Quite groundbreaking and I played it for hours. The triumph at being able to land in fog!

    I need to add Strangeloop to my list. Quirky, humorous, great atmosphere and a bit creepy. Some good features like being able to Stravinsky choose your on-screen start point when you lose a life. I really like the 'fizzy' sound effects when you shoot the dwarf or they hit your spacesuit. Avoid the Void!

    Ha my phone auto-corrected strategically to Stravinsky! I'm leaving that for posterity :)

    Gah, it also did the same with dwarf for swarf! It sounds like a really weird game now. It is a really weird game.

    I liked the sequel, not sure I've played the original.

    I think the first game was better (from memory). It was also quite groundbreaking when it was released. Being able to blow uip planets in our solar system was pretty cool!
