OMG, SimCity. I look at the UI and can hear the cars honking! And some helo reporting "heavy traffic". Good Lord, I must have browsed that toolbar thousands of times. It looks so familiar. Maniac Mansion I also loved. The rest is more or less matter of taste. Elite belongs there but I rather miss Straglider 1 and together with that tank attack arcade it was stepping stone to 3D.

Speaking of rendering - my Spectrum had an astonishing 1 frames per night when musing over a vector painting.The 15 greatest video games of the 80s – ranked!
