  • Best Game Rated At 96% by CrashJust for the sake of it... some classics here and some right dogs... If north & south or zoids gets any votes i'll give you the money myself

    Haven't played them all but for me its a toss-up between Mercenary and The Great Escape, with the great escape just nicking it.

    Well there are some fantastic games there, Cybernoid loved that and Starquake and Myth.

    But my vote goes to the Great Escape, the most atmospheric game ever on the speccy.

  • Biggest single-load game?How many screens is the biggest single-load game? I'm not thinking of levels that randomly generate, but ones with difined screens. 16k, 48k and 128k…

    Where Time Stood Still is a huge game for a (massive) single load. I also think Batman 3D, Head over Heels, The Great Escape and Turtles 1 are also big for 48k single loads. Also, IIRC and Trantor was a single load, wasn't that a fair size?
