Games from the past ends with T

[JonathanFrakes]

Lately, I've been retrogaming out of my face.

I was inspired by Cannon Fodder references in another thread I was posting in to start revisiting games from my youth on the Spectrum, Amiga and Mega Drive, even some earlier PC games that I used to play.

Here's some of the titles I've been looking at, any thoughts on these games folks? I personally think they're classics.

Skool Daze (I and II)
Frontier: Elite II
Wing Commander
Sensible Soccer
The Secret of Monkey Island
Gauntlet II
Master of Orion II
Strider
Theme Park
Civilization (I and II)
Total Annihilation
Mechcommander

[BlueRabbit]

Chuckie Egg
Kid Chameleon
James Pond
Duck Hunt
Micro Machines
Final Fight
Dizzy (all editions)
