Blue Max
Take Zaxxon, tweak the gameplay and shift the setting from deep space to World War One, and the result is the brilliant Blue Max. One of the C64’s standout early titles, it’s absorbing, fast-paced and highly playable - even today.

Batman: The Movie
This multi-stage adaptation of the Tim Burton film, combining platforming, driving and shooting sequences, has varied gameplay, decent graphics and an excellent soundtrack. One of the better movie tie-ins on the old breadbin.

Blackwyche
Blackwyche casts Sir Arthur Pendragon adrift on a cursed, multi-deck galleon, mixing arcade adventure action with puzzle-solving and a satisfyingly spooky atmosphere. Very reminiscent of TSOK and Entombed, but still a highly enjoyable game.

This typically trippy Minter title is both batshit bonkers and beautifully brilliant. Blending arcade blasting with Jeff’s trademark surreal visuals & pulsating sound, it’s utterly unique and pure Llamasoft in all the best (and weirdest) ways.

In this Silkworm-esque shoot-’em-up you pilot tanks and helicopters to capture enemy bases and neutralise stolen missiles. With solid graphics, great music and lots of hectic action, it was excellent value at just £2.99 back in 1988.
