Wizball - C64 (1987)

Zzap!64

98%

“Best Game Ever. Wizball is not just one of the best Commodore 64 games ever made — it is one of the greatest games we have ever played on any machine. The combination of responsive gameplay, stunning visuals, and Martin Galway's extraordinary soundtrack is simply unmatched.”

Sensible World of Soccer - Amiga (1994)

Amiga Power

97%

“SWOS is simply the finest football game ever made. The gameplay is as sharp as ever, the database is staggering in its depth, and the career mode gives you something to come back to for months. There is nothing else on any platform that comes close.”

Sensible Soccer - Amiga (1992)

CU Amiga

95%

“Sensible Soccer is simply the most playable football game on any home computer. The top-down view, the tight controls, the astonishing speed — this is what football games should feel like. Everything else is a pale imitation.”

Mega Lo Mania - Amiga (1991)

CU Amiga

92%

“Mega Lo Mania is exactly the kind of game the Amiga was made for. Original, deep, and utterly compelling — the epoch structure is brilliant, the voice acting is charming, and you will play it for weeks.”

Cannon Fodder - Amiga (1993)

The One Amiga

94%

“A dark, brave, and brilliantly designed game. Cannon Fodder earns its controversy by being genuinely great — the gameplay is compelling precisely because you care about the tiny soldiers you keep getting killed.”
