        @bazzacollins Cannon Fodder. Stunt Car Racer. Robotron. HERO. Gridrunner. SWOS. Alter Ego. Paradroid. Boulder Dash. All still great.

        @bazzacollins CF—proper CF, not a knock-off—not being on iPad is such a missed opportunity. The original remains a fantastic game.

        @bazzacollins Whoa whoa whoa! Sensible Soccer pisses over anything called Fifa or Pro Evo. Playability over graphics any day.

        @bazzacollins I played Sensi recently, although it wasn't as good with a joypad. Definitely need the Quickshot Pro.

        @bazzacollins What about Elite? I have fond memories of Elite on the BBC. Cutting edge in its day.

        @bazzacollins @charliecat5 Elite 2 on the A1200 was one of my favourite games ever. I still hum the theme tune today.

        @DaveJStevenson @bazzacollins eh, I feel like the base level of quality has improved since then. At least most modern games are playable.

        @mikejjennings i feel like the top end has improved enormously. base level has simply replaced identikit platformers with indentikit fps's

        @DaveJStevenson true, but the quality of them has improved massively. Not just graphically, gameplay too. So many old games were just broken

        @bazzacollins Yep. Most games, at any point in history, were or are shite. Still, there are some old games that remain amazing.

        @bazzacollins I've long thought the same. People go crazy over nostalgic titles, but you go back to them and most are utterly terrible

        @mikejjennings @bazzacollins but your viewpoint is biased by what's possible now which is unfair.

        @ElYammers I still enjoy playing quite a few games from back then, but most have aged horribly!
