For a bit of fun.

First person to guess the correct game - then has to list a game and so on...

Platform: (Amiga, Dos, C64 etc)...
Decade: (approximate is fine)
Basic Description of that game.


I'll start with a simple one.

Platform: Atari 800XL (and others)
Decade: Mid 80s

Crash landed on a planet - the objective was to escape...

Used 3D vector graphics and open ended game play. Planes looked like the paper darts you probably made as a kid. World was massive for its time....
