Mindfield Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 quote: Originally posted by Atari-Jess: out of these games, what ones are good? there is a lot but i want a good list of THESE ones to get. It's all pretty much a matter of taste. Here's a brief rundown of the ones I know of: AFTER BURNER Third person over the shoulder shooter. Sega arcade port. Very popular. ALTERED BEAST Classic. Morph from man to beast and beat up zombies, vampires and other nasties, collecting powerups along the way. BATMAN 1 & 2 Platformers. Run, jump, use your Bat-erang. ARCHIPELAGOS & TROPHY SOCCER Archipelagos was a wierd, non-violent, pseudo puzzle game. Gain energy by leeching it from plants and breaking power rocks to destroy the obelisk in each level. It doesn't translate well into words, but that's the gist of it. There's a 2000 remake on the PC which was kinda cool. Never was into sports games, so no comment on the soccer game. ARKANOID Classic Breakout-style game with powerups and beasties. BAD LANDS Super Sprint with weapons. BATTLE TECH & WATERLOO Battletech: turn-based role playing game. Waterloo: Strategic recreation of the Battle at Waterloo. BILLARD & ADV RUGBY Billiards: Pool or snooker. No comment again on Rugby. BLOOD WYCH & MACADAM BUMPER Bloodwych: First-person dungeon crawler adventure/RPG ala Dungeon Master, but not as polished or in-depth. Two player simultaneous play possible. Macadam Bumper: Video pinball. A 16-bit port from the Sinclair Spectrum and BBC Micro. BLOOD MONEY Side-scrolling shoot 'em up. Also popular. Cool intro music. BUGGY BOY Not sure on this one. CHESS MASTER Popular, long-running chess franchise. TRACY & SPIDERMAN Tracy I've no idea of. Spiderman I think is the side-scrolling platformer. DOUBLE DRAGON DOUBLE DRAGON 2 Classic side-scrolling beat 'em ups. There's also a third in the series, but it stank. DRAGON BREED & SPINDIZZY WORLD Dragon Breed: I believe this was an overhead shooter. Spindizzy Worlds: I dunno 'bout anyone else, but I loved the Spindizzy games. Think Marble Madness with puzzles and stuff. NEBULUS & ELIMINATOR & PACMANIA Nebulous (a.k.a. Tower Toppler): Unique vertical scrolling platformer with some impressive cylindrical scrolling effects of the tower. Hop ever higher on each tower while avoiding nasties 'n stuff. Well done game. Pacmania: Yet another in the Pac Man genre, this one in isometric 3D. You can also jump over ghosts in this one. EMPIRE OF THE MINES & PINBALL MAGIC Dunno either of these. CHASE HQ Half first-person over-the-shoulder racing, half side-scrolling shoot 'em up. Chase and collar criminals. Cool. F 16 COMBAT PILOT I'm not sure; is this the same as F-16 Falcon? If so, this is probably the grandaddy of combat flight sims. FAST LANE & DYNAMITE DUX Not sure about these. I know I've played Dynamite Dux, but can't remmeber what it's all about. FERRARI FORMULA 1 Racing. Average. FIGHTING SOCCER & INTERPHASE Dunno about the first. Interphase was ... um ... unique, to say the least. Fast polygon 3D action, but gameplay that's probably impossible to describe. Try it. It's fun just flying around in it anyway. :-) FIRE AND BRIMSTONE & HYPERFORCE Fire & Brimstone: I think this was an RPG. Or was it Titus' side-scrolling platformer? I can't recall. Don't know about Hyperforce. FIRE AND FORGET 2 & ORIENTAL GAMES F&F 1 & 2: One or two player first-person over-the-shoulder shoot 'em up. Player one plays a car, two, a jet, simultaneously. Pretty good. FLYING SHARK WWII Combat flight sim, I believe. GOUST N GHOST One of the quintessential side-scrolling platformers. A must have. HARD DRIVIN Atari's classic polygon 3D stunt racing game. Don't forget to hit the cow! Get its sequel, Race Drivin' too. HELLRAISER Movie license. Blah. INDIANA 500 Indy car racing. Also dull. IRON LORD IVANOHE JAWS & PHOBIA KICK OFF 2 & DYNASTI WARS Not sure on any of these. LED STORM Side-scrolling shooter. Average. LICENCE TO KILL Bond movie license. Side-scrolling action game. Take it or leave it. LOTUS TURBO ESPRIT & JAMES POND Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge: First-person racing. Fantastic. Get its sequels, Lotus Turbo Challenge 2, and Lotus III -- the third is the best, with awesome fog, snow and night driving effects. James Pond: Cutesy but well done omni-scrolling platformer. Its sequel, Codename: Robocod is better. MUNSTER & FIRE ZONE Dunno. NARC Isometric 3D fast-paced shooter. Play a narcotics officer bustin' heads 'n stuff. Not bad. Plays best on an STE. NITRO & FUTURE BASKET BALL Dunno. NORTH AND SOUTH Historic wargame. Not my cuppa tea. OPERATION JUPITER Mission-based action/strategy game. Pretty good, actually. OUT RUN everyone knows Sega's classic Outrun! :-) PANZA KICK BOXING A lot of people liked this. I didn't. ROAD BLASTER Atari's classic racing/shooting game. Nicely done. ROAD RUNNER Side-scrolling action/racing game. Evade Wile E. Coyote while picking up bird seed along the interstate. ROAD WAR 2000 Post-apocalyptic overhead turn-based role playing game from SSI. I have a soft spot for these, and this one's pretty good. ROBOCOP Side-scrolling action game. Rather dull. TOTAL ECLIPSE & CYBERNOID Total Eclipse: One of the several games using the Freescape 3D engine. (Others include Castle Master I and II, Driller, etc.) Basically a 3D adventure game. Not too bad, if a little plain. ROADLAND Rodland -- platformer. A little too cutesy for me. R TYPE R TYPE 2 Quintessential side-scrolling shoot 'em up. RVF HONDA & DARKSIDE Not sure here. SLY AND SPY No idea. SPACE HARRIER A lot like Afterburner. SPACE INVADERS Really, now. :-) SPEED BALL 2 Speedball II: Brutal Deluxe is a futuristic sports game. Amazing music, fast and frenetic gameplay. If you like sports-style games, this is a must. STARGOSE Not sure. STARWARS Which one? ULTIMATE ACTION FIGHTER & STRIKE Dunno either of these. STUNT CAR RACER Ooh, I loved this one. Fast 3D polygon stunt driving... some wild and wooly drops and jumps in this one, all on a raised track. Flying off and crashing is almost as much fun as racing! :-) SUPER OFF ROAD RACER Dunno. SUPER SPRINT Atari's classic circuit racing game. An almost arcade-perfect port. A must for any self-respecting racing fan. SUPER CARS 2 Think Super Sprint with larger graphics and powerups and stuff.0 SUPER SKWEEK Overhead-view puzzle/logic game. Cute and fun. SUPER LEAGUE SOCCER Dunno. TEENAGE QUEEN Adult strip poker game. TIME SCANNER Dunno. TOKI Nicely done platform game. A little on the slow side. TURBO OUTRUN Outrun ... um ... turbocharged. :-) VROOM 3D racing. One of the best racers there is ... personally I thought it was hard to control, but... chacon son gout I guess. Get No Second Prize instead. Now that is wickedly fast 3D racing. VULCAN & CHESSMASTER 2000 Dunno about the first. Chessmaster 2000 is of course an upgrade over previous Chessmaster games. WIPEOUT They made this for the ST? Damn. This was a pretty wicked PC racing game back in the day... 3D racing with gravity-(and physics)-defying twists, turns, and loops. XENON XENON 2 Xenon: Overhead-view shoot 'em up. Very nice. Xenon II: Megablast: Vertical scrolling shoot 'em up with powerups 'n stuff. Even nicer. Title music by Bomb the Bass. XTRON Dunno. Z OUT Sequel to X-Out. Shoot 'em up. Pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrant Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 You missed out a lot of truely classic games from your list, things like Megalomania, Magic Pockets, etc. Of the ones you did list tho, Mindfield's descriptions sound right to me, with one adition, StarGoose is a 3d "vertical" scrosing shooter, great fun on the pc, never played it on st tho. Oh, and isnt GOUST N GHOST a typo of Ghouls n Ghosts? If it is its one of the all time best platformers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted November 4, 2001 Share Posted November 4, 2001 Actually anything by Bitmap Bros. (Speedball, Speedball II, Gods, Magic Pockets, etc.) rock. I never really got into Mega-Lo-Mania, to be honest. I _did_ like the original Populous, though. I gotta get me Populous: The New Beginning for the PC. Seems like it's much like the original, but updated to today's computing standards. Other classics off the top of my head include: Dungeon Master + Chaos Strikes Back - the grandaddy of all dungeon crawlers. Anything and everything by Thalion - any games written by former demo coders are all right by me. :-) Chaos - PD game by Martin Brownlow, a port of the Spectrum game of the same name. A simplistic but highly addictive multiplayer wizard battle game. Anything by Jeff "Yak" Minter, of cozz (Llamatron, Revenge of the Mutant Camels, Trip-a-Tron Light Synth - the sequel to Colourspace on the 8-bit and the precursor to the JagCD's light synth - and if you can find it, the unreleased beta of Hardcore -- hey, if anyone finds this, I WANT IT! I lost it when I lost my last ST) Attack of the Mutant Tomatoes - Possibly one of the best PD games around. Critical Mass - Another one of the best PD games ever written for the ST Turrican & Turrican II - some of the best platform shooters I ever played Autoduel - a conversion of Steve Jackson's tabletop and one of the quintessential CRPGs. Simplistic graphics, but great gameplay Anything by Psygnosis/Psylapse - these guys always made top notch stuff, and their later games had the most awesome FMV intros. Another World (a.k.a. Out Of This World) - I'd give this one the award for most clever and artistic use of polygons. It's impossible to tell where a cutscene ends and gameplay begins. Amazingly immersive gameplay. Barbarian (Palace) - Medieval swordplay. Lotsa fun executing (pardon the pun) the decap move. Great Gianna Sisters & Hard & Heavy - Two Mario-style platformers, very well done. The latter is the former's sequel. Gauntlet I & II - Classic arcade conversions, very well done. Master Blazer - Lucasfilm's ST update of the classic Ballblazer. Wicked music, fantastic graphics and classic gameplay. Rick Dangerous I & II - Nicely done platformers. Phantasie I, II & III - Classic, if minimalistic CRPGs. Rampage - You can't be without this classic arcade conversion. The Ultima games - more classic CRPGs, probably the most well known. Elite, Frontier: Elite II - Two of the best space trading/fighting/flying games in existence. Mercenary + Escape from Targ, Damocles: Mercenary II & Mercenary III: Excellent 3D adventure games. Fate: Gates of Dawn - If anyone has this or finds it, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! This was one of the absolute BEST RPGs in the history of CRPGs, and I only ever found it once. I'd really love to get this one back. Big Business - One of the most hillarious business sims around. Ishar I, II & III - Silmarils make the some of largest, prettiest, most engaging RPGs around. Captive: Tony Crowther took the dungeon crawler and made it kick serious arse. I'm still in awe of how he managed to cram literally hundreds upon hundreds of huge levels onto one floppy disk. Knightmare: Tony's second dungeon crawler, this one in a medieval setting, but no less amazing than his first effort. I've probably glossed over loads more, but this is what I can think of that I used to play endlessly. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SB Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 Just to tell about 2 of the games in your list: Kick-Off 2 was the best football (er soccer if US resident!) simulation, small guys 8 pixels wide, but fast and everlasting. North&South was a pretty fun game, especially while playing with a friend. Best for me is by far Speedball II, then Vroom, Kick Off 2 and Xenon II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
