FAR too many to list. Most have been listed tbh.

Workbench - Best OS ever made. /me wishes Microsofts attempts were that good.

SWIV!!! That game owned so much. Fun to play single player and co-op.

Chaos! - one of my favourite Spectrum games

Historyline 1914-1918 - Battle Isle meets WWI. Very fun indeed.

Road Rash - Motorbikes + clubs + beating people. Combining a beat-em-up with racing was ingenius.

Jaguar XJ220 - Driving my favourite car in races. FUN FUN FUN!

Top Gear 2 - Jeremy Clarkson, eat your heart out!

Zeewolf - Fun 3D isometric game.

Desert/Jungle Strike - Helicopter fun.

K240 - Space-based strategy with customisable ships.

Smash TV - Crush, Kill, Destroy... yeah and erm.. smash?

XP 8 - Very Fun game similar to Project X - Review here: Check this out for XP8 - Id recommend reading that website for more flashbacks.

Banshee - XP8 with low tech airplanes Vs. aliens.

Reunion - Great game.... still waiting for the sequel :(

Civilisation - Funny how blokes with spears could kill a big battleship at times but meh. Happens I suppose

Beneath a Steel Sky - Possibly the only P&C Adventure game that rivalled Monkey Island apart from my next one.

Simon The Sorcerer - Amazing P&C Adventure game, provided me with tons of fun. Played it when it was released and I never completed it until I was about 15.

Now for the rant.

Sensible Software - Developed the best ever football game (SWOS 96/97) and who can forget their unbeatable games.... CANNON FODDER!!!! (and CF2). Unbelieveable. Jools and Jops with Stu :D

Team17 - Worms1 was innovative and funny. PROJECT X... all you nintendo/sega fans sit down now! Project X makes R-Type look like it was made in the stone age. Project X was amazing fun... pity I cant get it to emulate properly on the PC.

Gremlin - Who needs Dawn of War? Excellent game but can anyone remember Gremlins Space Crusade circa 1992? Oh yeah! WH40k meets turn-based Amiga/PC action. Premier Manager 1, 2 and 3.... that phone was fun to dial with.

End Rant

(For now)

Scorched Earth and Space goose were the first games I played other than in arcades . . . . they were on floppy disks and were in glorious VGA graphics!

some other great games:

Crusader: No Remorse
Crusader: No Regret
(whatever happend to Crusader: No Mercy? I thought it was supposed to be a trilogy?)
x-wing
Doom
Wolfenstein 3-D
Simcity
I forget its name, but it was a 3-d version of tetris - you had an overhead view of the block (in wireframe)as it went down, and you had to make the entire surface dissappear . . ..

As far as *fondest* video game memory goes . . . River City Ransom on NES, no doubt! :D
