What computer was that on? Looks well good. I love the blocky little radars like that you always used to get on shoot em ups
On that note, some of my favourite computer games, from my favourite computer, the Acorn Electron:
Citadel - utterly incredible arcade adventure, based in a haunted castle, every screen is a different room, combines platform action with picked up objects and used them to solve puzzles and mysteries, massively ahead of its time, just amazing:
Cybertron Mission - thinking man's shoot 'em up; zap baddies, but also find keys to open doors and solve puzzles, and touch that red wall and you're electrocuted!
Ghouls - wickedly addictive platorm game, run your little yellow man over platforms, jump over spikes and avoid spiders and the evil ghoul...in the shot below player has just got splatted by a spider!
Repton 3 - no list of top Electron games is complete without a Repton game. First one was fun, second one way too hard, but the third one was perfect, amazing combination of arcade and strategy:
Sphinx Adventure - ah, the days of text adventures, this was a brilliant one, fun but very tough and with a massive range of locations and puzzles:
