I got one of those mini ps1's a few years ago and it had destruction derby on there and itt turns out destruction derby is the very worst game ever made
Re: Your Top 10 fave video/computer/arcade games
(i also loved it at the time for some reason it was one of the first games we had when we got an actual PC in 1994 or whenever, along with descent, which i also loved)
Re: Your Top 10 fave video/computer/arcade games
but luckily i have never played descent ever again at any point so i'm never going to discover how terrible it really is
Re: Your Top 10 fave video/computer/arcade games
I can only really think of five proper all-time favourites
Link's Awakening (Gameboy)
Spelunky (PC)
Chuckie Egg (BBC Micro)
SWOS 96-97 (PC)
Tetris (Gameboy)
then I guess I can throw in some more random / personal choices to fill it out
A Short Hike (Switch)
Dungeon Crawl (PC)
Vertigo (BBC Micro)
Do-Re-Mi Fantasy (SNES)
Return of the Obra-Dinn (Switch)

In chronological order:
The Hobbit (text adventure)
Super Mario 3
Populous 2
Syndicate
Sid Meier's Colonization
Ocarina of Time / Majora's Mask
Goldeneye
GTA3 / Vice City (less bothered about San Andreas)
Civ 4
Mario Galaxy 1+2
Which is more than ten, but OoT / MM and GTA3 / Vice City occupy the same 'slots' as far as my brain is concerned, and I don't know how you tell the difference between Mario Galaxies anyway. Just missing out are Exile for the BBC Micro, Tetris, Klass of 99 (the Skool Daze PC remake), and Bully.

Re: Your Top 10 fave video/computer/arcade games
indeed! the mechanics are surprisingly different depending on which version you play though. BBC and Amstrad are basically the same (and those are the versions I love), C64 and Spectrum are each very different in different ways
Re: Your Top 10 fave video/computer/arcade games
i played chuckie egg on acorn electron and atari 800 or whatever number it was
they were both good too

Re: Your Top 10 fave video/computer/arcade games

Re: Your Top 10 fave video/computer/arcade games
even though i've been playing it all afternoon in the virtual arcade thing in fist of the north yakuza star
Re: Your Top 10 fave video/computer/arcade games

sit down car
sit down moving car
Re: Your Top 10 fave video/computer/arcade games
i bet the moving car one cost an infinite amount of money to play (£1)
Re: Your Top 10 fave video/computer/arcade games
i've never completed outrun and i presumably never will
Re: Your Top 10 fave video/computer/arcade games
i hope the last level takes place on the moon
Re: Your Top 10 fave video/computer/arcade games
I couldn't get into playing those type of adventure games on my own, but with my brother, however... we had a few evening sessions playing The Hobbit, and it was genuinely enthralling!

Re: Your Top 10 fave video/computer/arcade games
They've got Outrun (sit down version) at Elephant and Castle and it's real great
Re: Your Top 10 fave video/computer/arcade games
Someone ought to install Chuckie Egg on the Outrun sit down version cabinet. Or possibly on the G-LOC 360 cab.

Re: Your Top 10 fave video/computer/arcade games
Here's the next best thing - a bootleg ZX Spectrum hardware-based Inspector Gadget game, which was produced as an arcade cabinet in early 90s Russia. Emulated in MAME!

And this is the original, a Melbourne House "joint"...

Re: Your Top 10 fave video/computer/arcade games
I also need to post this recent discovery that's now fully emulated on MAME as well...
CUBE QUEST
A combination of Laserdisc video backgrounds with early filled 3D models, from 1983! Has some excellent opening narration, which now feels like a parody of early 80s sci-fi. The only other non-vector 3D game at this point, I believe, was Atari's equally bizarre (and amazing) I-ROBOT, which beat the former to the punch (CQ came out in December 83, listed incorrectly in some places as 1984) - but Cube Quest and I-Robot both flopped due to the North American video games crash messing everything up.
(EDIT! Got it wrong. I-Robot in fact came out in June 1984, smack bang in the middle of the American video games crash.)

Blimey, that cube things amazing and I love it
Re: Your Top 10 fave video/computer/arcade games
Cube Quest is still cutting edge, as far as I'm concerned!
