Thundercats

The Dark Heart of Uukrul, an RPG wonderfully innovative for its time (1989).
mobygames page
Really excellent, polished, beautiful design - in contrast to, say, Curse of Azure Bonds (also 1989), a conceptually good game which is mostly sloppiness and rough edges everywhere.

Jesus Christ,how many bucks did Ilost playing these two on the bar that was next to one of my homes(my dad was transfered a lot before he retired,so I was kinda a nomad)

Robocop - Spectrum 128
Last Ninja 2 - C64
Rick Dangerous - C64 & Amiga
Neuromancer - C64
Zak McKraken - C64
The Bards Tale Trilogy - C64 & Amiga

Still play all those on the respective systems and love them, Last Ninja 2 and Rick Dangerous are my favorites out of those.

Yes! I played it first in the mid 90's though, on the Megadrive. The coop mode was great fun, it practically brough the whole family together.

Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap

Manic Minor, Jet Set Willy and Sabre Wolf on the Spectrum.

Tempest and Dragon's Lair at the arcades. Happy Days..

edit: The game with the tanks that had bouncing bombs....can't remember the name.

Still does in my house. I have owned so many copies of that game over the years it's just plain silly!

On C-64
Gunship, Neuromancer, Elite.

I still compare all space sim to Elite and I've yet to find anything that measure up.
All my C-64 stuff is in boxes in a closet except for Neuromancer which is on a shelf among pc games.
As for Gunship, it is simply a miracle that such a game could exist on a C-64. But you check games at the beginning of the C-64 era against games at the end of the era and you'd swear there were a few cpu and graphic chip upgrade during the period.

I think my favorite games from the 1980's was 1989 Prince of Persia and A Nightmare On Elm Street.
