Just for the hell of it...

I loved this game too, but I am joining up in the choir of people who had some sort of SEGMENTATION FAULT. :D (One for Sfault)

Mirror... Clock... Masks... Revolving doors... *grumble* Nope, it's lost to me.

Alright, I think this has tortured you enough :p

That's right. It's Drelbs! And if it's any consolation, I had a hard time trying to remember its name as well. Then I realised it came in the same compilation pack I got Fort Apocalypse on...

Okay, let's have another. This is a game I aspired to owning ever since I played a demo of it on a covertape, but as a ten-year-old lacking any sort of money it was to be a distant dream. I remember having problems getting the emulation to go when I tried in my OG days, and that's as far as it got. Oh well.

If that's not some of the games in Lotus series... Well, then it might be OutRun... Or some other game :|

Anyways, that does look familiar :| And just a hint to all others, it's not BuggyBoy ^_^;

Well, it's not as well known as any of those I think.

It has ammo and damage, so it's not an ordinary racer... Let's see, it's not Knight Rider... Hmm... Not sure I know it.

Guess I did again, huh :/

Well, it was System 3's Turbocharge. Highly regarded in its day, but not now I guess :D

Anyway, I think a seasonal title is appropriate for the next one. If no-one gets this after a week I think it's fair to hand the reins to someone else.

Ok, here's a fairly simple one, I hope, of one of my favourite C64 games. I've reviewed this one and that's a clue, if you need it... ;)

Ok, I'm having another go :p

Another one of my sentimental faves here. I remember loading this up from the tape drive and playing this on the 64 when I was a far younger man (before my spirit was crushed and my will to live extinguished ;)).

Hmmm, it's been many years since I saw it last, but I *think* it's Parallax.

Sheesh!

It was a memorable title, and a memorable game. Even if I never did actually know what it was I was supposed to do in it. :)

This one sadly refused to load from my tape drive after only a few tries.
