Agreed, and still arguably my all time favourite game (though gears and halo 3 are a close second!)
Man this thread warms my cockles, so many memories, so little time. All of the games mentioned were awesome - sensible, turrican, bubble bobble etc etc. Has anyone mentioned street fighter by the way? The hype aroound that was amazin!
I'd have to say though, one of my all time favourite games had to be rainbow islands on the c64. Even if you did have to reload the feckin thing between levels. Okay you were throwin rainbows at bumble bees, which is a bit gay, but this game was hard as feck!
On a side note, has anyone ever played CJs elephant antics on the c64? I played this game so much it made me phycisally sick. Physically.
