Alien 8 is just as bad.
I didn't bother with Pentagram[/QUOTE]

The games with the question mark are guesses cos I've never played 'em.
1] Pentagram
3) Quazatron
7] The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4 (7)

14) Hypersports
15] Blockbusters (?) -
Dreadful sequelsWorst sequel ever? Please vote above. :)
Other: Pentagram - It sent the otherwise excellent and innovative Sabre Man series down the toilet with a drab rehash of the Knight Lore engine. I really don't want to ever see Mire Mare either. -

I didnt mind Cyberrun as to me it was like a sequel to Lunar Jetman. Martionoids as much as i want to like it i just cant.

Underwurlde for me (that or Atic Atac is my favourite Ultimate game), but to be fair I've never given Pentagram more than a quick go. For it's time I thought it was old hat (compare it to Fairlight!) but maybe I should give it some more time. -
