Oh , and what about mexico 86 and soccer supremo ? I couldn't tear myself away from these games , especially the latter one !

Couldnt say exactly what the best games around were in the mid 80s , but I thoroughly enjoyed playing Repton 2 and Citadel on the Electron around christmas 85 - early 86 . Loved Elite , like others have mentioned , as well as Way of the Exploding Fist , psycastria and Thunderstruck around this time ...

Among many

Citadel - fanstatic games that . Best arcade adventure on any 8 bit , back in its time

Thrust - incrdeibily addictive

Psychastria - Gary Partis's great shoot em up , uridium clone , very underated

Firetrack - Another great shoot em up !

Supposedly David Braben / frontier developments are working on Elite IV , though whether it will ever see the light of day remains to be seen .......

Have any of you guys played it ? Now available for windows (was previously available for mac os and linux) . Its free too !

Excellent stuff .

I've acquired both ricochet and repton 3 , just want to state my opinion that they are really good games . I originally played Repton 3 on the Acorn Electron back in 1986 , I wasn't too familiar with Ricochet though . Ricochet , though I have not got too far in to it yet , has a little bit of the fe...

Anyone know of an emulator on which soccer supremo will run ? As fine as beebem is , unfortunately this game crashes !

I liked your Thunderstruck games , Peter , particularly thunderstruck 2 - nice chunky graphics (the last of the free was good too , certainly for the budget price at which it was sold !) . Aside from those , I agree that Elite , Imogen , firetrack , citadel were graphically fine as well as very play...
