Great Idea! Although it means leaving alot of great games out so I've bracketed them where I really did think of more than one. And S is impossible to choose! I'm not sure where I should put games like The Secret of Monkey Island or The Settlers, so I may have listed them more than once.

A - Alien Breed
B - Battle Isle
C - Cannon Fodder (Chaos Engine a close second)
D - Dizzy (Diggers and Desert Strike spring to mind too)
E - Extreme Violence
F - Flashback
G - Galaga Deluxe
H - Hillsea Lido (Could easily be Historyline)
I - (Can't think of any I like, so can't think of any)
J - James Pond (Jungle Strike)
K - Knights
L - Liberation (Lemmings, Legend of Lothian)
M - Magic Pockets (Would be Monkey Island but technically its T for The or S for Secret)
N - Nicky Boom
O - Opperation Thunderbolt
P - Pirates/Gold! (Pang and Paperboy were also considered)
Q - Qwak
R - Ruff n Tumble (Very tempted to be Road Rash too)
S - Sh*tloads! Secret of Monkey Island, Sensible Soccer/SWOS, Settlers, Soccer Kid, Speedball 2, Superfrog, Syndicate, SWIV. I cannot single a game out for S, I end up torn between Sensi Soccer Settlers and Superfrog
T - Theme Park (Transplant is ace, and maybe I could stick The Settlers in)
U - UFO: Enemy Unknown (I've never played Ultima but I also thought of it)
V - Virocop
W - Worms
X - Xenon/2
Y - Yo Joe!
Z - Zool

CodyJarrett · 01 February 2003, 19:35

You aren't supposed to list your favourite games, just the first one that comes into your mind, whether it's good or not!

01 February 2003, 19:45

@Cody
I know. The first and sometimes only games I think of are my favourites though, and when I think of some letters more than one game comes to my mind, so I decide which one to put in by which I like better. I feared I might have spoiled the point but once I'd spent time thinking about this I didn't want it to be wasted.
