I've certainly played more than a few of those - I especially thought the Getaway and the Warriors were great! I still really need to play some of the others though - too many games and not enough time...

Bump from a forever nostalgic gamer. It's been a while since my last nostalgic train so thanks for the inspiration. ^_^

Off the top of my head... ^.^
- This, this and this come to mind as some of my first and most played ZX Spectrum games, especially Football Director;
- This, this and this also come to mind as my most played Amiga games later on, especially The Manager - I must have played dozens of leagues with my brother and a couple of friends that would come over, I remember us playing at least one league that lasted for like 15 seasons or so, with all of us climbing all the way to the top and having won european competitions - that's how much it lasted;
- Then this pulled me to PC gaming for life, I never left since that. Many more followed, obviously... :)

I'm a sucker for football manager games and I certainly played some of those! I also remember many happy days spent playing Kick Off, Sensible Soccer and the like with my friends after school!
I certainly played 1942 also but apart from Out Run I didn't really get into driving games until the Ridge Racer series. And for some reason I didn't get into Civilization until Civ III...

Joined few, thank you for the chances. Nice game history you got there.

So last time I posted a discussion people voted for trains without crap puzzles. But it felt boring to just say 'here are the games' and I felt there should be some sort of a theme. And then I had to go to my moms house and recover some of my childhood crap from the loft because of insulating work. And it inspired me to add a discussion about video game nostalgia.
This game that I found is an absolute classic that deserves to be remembered. It's called 'Head over Heels' and is an isometric puzzle platformer. The player controls two dog-like creatures with unique abilities. Head can jump and glide and can acquire a weapon that shoots doughnuts and paralyses enemies. Heels can run quickly and can acquire a bag that lets him pick up and carry objects. The two characters can also combine into a single entity. The game features several hundred interlinked puzzle rooms featuring moving platforms, lava floors, enemies, pressure plates and diverse traps, triggers, projectiles, etc. Many of the puzzles required significant lateral thinking.
In hindsight many of the games puzzles were surprisingly similar to those found in Portal, but the game had an added level of complexity in that the puzzle rooms were non-linear (quite aside from the fact that in control of two characters you were basically playing Portal co-operative testing by yourself). Some rooms could only be negotiated by Head or Heels individually while other rooms required them to work together, so working out the routes and paths that allowed them to come together at the right times was an ordeal in itself. Plus, despite its complexity, this was still a hardcore 8-bit platformer with no saves and three lives. It was an obsession for many UK gamers for some time...
Anybody else feel like sharing any forgotten games? Or just happy gaming memories?
