Super Star Wars... I still regard the Super Star Wars trilogy of games as the best Star Wars games ever! Here's hoping that either Nintendo or Microsoft ressurect these classics via there downloadable games service.

How is that bitter? Gaming has come a long way and I'm celebrating it :D

And simple games can definitely be awesome (i.e. Lumines, Guitar Hero, Eye Toy, etc) but there have been heaps of advances even in simple titles.

Speedball 2 had to be one of the most intense and most addictive games ever, esecially when challenging the likes of Brutal Deluxe to win the Cup.

Trying for those side multipliers and and erasing them off your opponent use to rock!

You never played brutal deluxe to win the cup, you WERE brutal deluxe!

I think you mean Super Nashwan. They were fucking HARD. 10-9 was my best win in a final though :D

EA would fuck it up. They'd put a whole heap of licensed emo rock and work a shitty GTA clone into it.

THis was my home game of the decade for the 80's. A great sense of acheievement completing it without any guides or hacks. Took me about 6 weeks to find a copy of it on disc when I was on holiday in the UK 1987. Sold out nationwide!

Heres some more favs from my C64 days.
