they don't come much better than SpeedBall II
just trying to track a PC version down, if its half as good as the amiga version I'll be addicted to it.
the speed, the skill, the violence ......... great as a 1 player game, awsome as a 2 player game
the Competition Pro joysticks were built for the level of agrression put through them during playing this game, but still needed a rebuild every so often after a microswitch stopped working due to the abuse it had recieved.
Unquestionably the best game EVER ;D

"Bart vs the Space mutants" was always my fave on the Amiga. Took me 6 months to finish
"Sensi soccer" "Super mario kart" and the legendary "Boot Hill" worth a mention.

a shufty round amazon reveals a PC version .... but no reviews.
and a PS2 update called speedball 2100 which recieves mixed reviews
choices choices.
PC would require investment in a suitable joystick, I could never play it on anything but a Competition Pro style joystick .... though the PS2 gamepad would just about get by, but wouldn't last more than a few months of playing it I reackon.

Speed ball 2 total quality that and super cars 2 where my fav. games around that time
But for best game ever is 'Elite', total emersion in a different world. Way a head of its time.
Must mention the turn based space squad tactics game Rebel Star on the spectrum lead to laser squad and the UFO games

So many superb games.
If I HAD to choose one though:
Pro Evolution Soccer 3
Every game is like a real match.
Superb Stuff.
Special mentions, Metal Gear Solid, Zelda, Mario 64 a fair few others to!

Don't know how anyone can pick a football management simulation as a greatest ever computer game myself to be honest ???
Greatest computer and video games of all time as far as this player goes are...
Doom (total shocker when it first came out) Elite (simply awesome) Sonic The Hedgehog (mind-blowingly addictive) Medal of Honour (though now eclipsed by Call of Duty) Counter-Strike (Still the most played FPS on the Internet)
Just by own little opinions there!

Doom, well the graphics were better but the game play was the same as Wolfenstein 3D was never a fan of sonic ... not a great fan of the genre Medal of Honour is very good game (but its the graphics, and sounds that make it better than other 1st person shoot em ups) the realism of the scenarios, its like being in a war film. not played Call of Duty yet, need new graphics card..and its not at top of my must get list at the minute played Elite 2 on the amiga, but never got into it, prefered Wing Commander

Sonic I thought was superb.
The gameplay was unlike anything else at the time.
Doom I never really liked. The original Sim City me and gf at the time used to play all night (thinking about it ...maybe thats where i went wrong ;D)
Dino Dini's Kick Off...now that was a game. Could never beat Russia though.
GlennA...i take it you had blow football and a hoop and stick when you were a lad?

Kick Off 2 was good, but was eclipsed By Sensible Soccer.
both were also too easy to score on, and once you knew the trick, then any game against the computer was normally easy.

Pushover (Amiga 600) Sonic The Hedgehog (Mega Drive) Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (Mega Drive) FIFA 95 (Mega Drive) Tetris (Game Boy) Super Mario Kart (SNES) Final Fantasy VII (Playstation) Brian Lara Cricket (Playstation)
I wouldn't like to know the number of hours I've spent playing that lot.

When will people finally realise that Kick Off 2 was the daddy that Sensible Soccer couldn't lace the boots of! And Call of Duty? I've had more fun playing pong

You can sod off and bum my brother then arsehair. I've done about 200 or so hours on FFVII, 30 on FFVIII, 5 on FFIX, 2 on FFX and none on FFX-2 which my brother bought on Friday and hasnt stopped playing on since. The main bird in it wears a low-cut top and uses a gun...which are the only differences from FFX that I can see from afar...

200 hours on ff7!!? I did it in 125 i think, ff8 in 78, and not played ff9 yet....
there shouldn't be much difference inbetween ffx and ffx-2 as its a sequal.....

Thats on about 3 or 4 different games. My longest one (about 90 hours) still has me on the first disk. I can't remember why I'm doing it (just running around fighting) now but it probably has something to do with money or items or....oh I dunno. I haven't played on it for about a year or so either.

Bart vs. the Space Mutants was one of my all time favourites on both the NES and Amiga. Did you ever get round to Bart's Nightmare on the SNES, JR? - just about topped Bvs.TSM with a live action Itchy and Scratchy level. Still can't beat the NES originals, Castlevania, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Megaman and the very first Legend of Zelda. Early computer games, Green Beret, Jackal, Mickey, Double Dragon and the Dizzy series on the Spectrum 128K Never would have had Smudge down as a Sonic the Hedgehog fan though

XIII on all formats at the moment is a stunning piece of software.
So atmospheric.
Can't wait for The New Metal Gear Solid's on Gamecube and PS2.
Resi 4 as well!

Wow...forgot all about "Bart's Nightmare" Gareth. The Itchy and scratchy level...yep remember it.
Thing with "Bart's vs Space Mutants" was that level 5 was so easy, the radioactive donuts. Actually did it first go but wasn't sure what I did!!!! The level with the jumps onto the ledges was soooooo hard.
