Right on both counts. Two great games. Just this one left, I'll give you a clue, it's not a traditional football game.

Is that 'Footballer of the Year'?

Gremlin didn't make too many football games... that doens't look like the C64 version though...

Yes it is, that's the Spectrum version but whatever format is was on, it was a great game.

Spectrum, really? It looks great. The Spectrum always had much cleaner lines than the C64, which tended to have blocky and fuzzy sprites.

I fired up a C64 emulator last night and was playing Creatures... it's really held up well that game... still lots of fun.

Here's another game:

No. Not Renegade... Renegade was a Double Dragon type game, wasn't it?

Maximilian is the first game Settlers by any chance.

the lord of the cheeses first game looks more like G Darius than Darius gaiden.

Edit: Playing G Darius now, it's definitely Darius Gaiden.

The name begain with R though. I remember the game. It had something to do with movies and the levels were staged in movie sets or something, and you had to collect videotapes.

Dammit, what was the name!!!

Ha... that's the one.... It begins with a P... which I guess is kind of like an R that has lost a leg in Vietnam.

haha... and yes... I guess it is hard to remember back 500 years ago.

It was Premiere. Renegade Software made it. That's where I got the Renegade from!

Gonna be an obvious one for anyone who ever played it, but I'm not sure how many people actually did - http://freegames.m4d.it/free/free/img/free_8082.jpg

Retr0gamer

Can't think of the name. Began with an A. Was on the amiga.

Retr0gamer

Apidya! Apparently meant to be the best of it's type on the amiga.

Lemlin

Was I right with Premiere?

Well it's definately the best Wasp based shoot-em-up ever, and a great game in its own right, even if it was tough as nails. There's a fan remake in the offing - http://apidya.vg-network.com/

Yep that's right. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a Renegade game though... that was the Bitmap Brothers publisher... and Premiere certainly doesn't look blue and metalic to me.

I think it was a Core game or something...

Oh and I remember Apidya too... great game with some amazing bosses.. I remember one was a bunch of maggots living the the rotten carcus of a dead rat.

Balfa

ahahaaa. pushover, for the snes. pretty good game! And only wikipedia was able to remind me that quavers was the sponsor

The other one, i don't know. look crap. mcdonalds. blah.

Here's one of my all time favourite games:

c - 13

Hmmm, never knew pushover was released on the snes, the copy I had was for the amiga, guess ill just have to go have a look for that rom now

EDIT : Found the snes version, same game but slightly different idea behind it. In the amiga version the ant went looking for quavers dropped into an anthill by colin (the quavers dog), in this one he goes looking for cash belonging to one captain rat that might be why you didnt get the quavers association right away balfa.

Actually its a bit sad how much of this I remember

monkeyfudge

The MacDoalds game is Mick and Mack Global Gladiators.

It actually wasn't a bad little platformer.
