Dan Dare, Wizball (I just can't control the ball!), Pyracurse, Nemesis, Batman: The Movie (not the Ritman version). -

I would recommend 'A whole new ball game', which was written by Pete Cook (of Tau Ceti fame if memory serves).

I'm not sure Whole new ball game was ever released - It was eventually given away on a magazine cover tape (Crash, I think). -

Arkanoid II. Better graphics and sound (great on 128K but not bad either on 48K) make the first one pale in comparison with its sketchy and bland appearance. The best Spectrum bat'n'ball game ever IMHO. -
