Used to play Bubble-Bobble alot on my atari, along with Speedball and as someone mentioned earlier Frogger.
Top of my list of all time favourites though is Mario Kart on the Snes |

The arcade game I loved the most was Mr Du.
I'd spend hours and pounds on that every night down the local chippy when I was about 16yrs old. I didn't have the highest score (only about 200,000) but I did have a unique record for never having missed those random diamonds that appeared and gave you a free game. |

Would that be 18 Wheeler Debz? Love that game.
Also spent far too much money on Outrun.

Get Dexter and Spindizzy on the CPC464 and Brian Bloodaxe on the Speccy were the home games of the 80's for me, well until I got a modem and started running up giant phone bills playing MUD. Most of the 90's were spent playing Civ. |

"Jet-pac on the 48k spectrum with the rubber keys
or kick off 2 on the atari"
Yep, loved that game and many others on the spectrum, the sequel Lunar Jetman was another favourite of mine, I had a thing for Ultimate games, cookie, tranz am, Atic atac, underworld, etc. |

No one has mentioned Mario? Doom? Starcraft? Baldur's Gate? Half-Life?! I can't be the only video game geek on the site.
Beneath a Steel Sky, Cavewars, Jazz Jackrabbit, Heretic, Hexen, Myth, Thief, Dark Omen, Worms and so on. All of the above, and many more I'm sure I'm missing, have taken up more of my time than I care to think. |

Paperboy on the speccy in the early 80's, late 80's - early 90's I'd say cannon fodder on the amiga, late 90's the original resident evil on the playstation... |

"Admittedly because of my age i can only rate the 90s...!
Always loved Goldeneye.I still have a N64 in my student house - 4 player proximity mines!"
I remember playing on super mario and having a great time. Everything is gorefest these days. |

I started to lose interest in games when you needed to have a console like the flight deck of an airliner instead of just left, right or up, down, and fire/jump or just a joystick. That is until about 1999 (just within the time frame of the posting  ) when we had our first PC here which came with Rogue Squadron. I'd waited 22 years to play a game where I could really fly an X wing fighter, and I didn't stop till I had completed the whole thing |

Outrun and Checkered Flag racing games from the arcades were good, but it was the Defender-type game "R-Type" that I lost myself in.... The evil Bydo Empire.... there was a film where an expert arcade game player was zapped up to space to fly for real in an intergalactic war..... I still dream... |
