Always a toughie when trying to pick fave games, I always seem to remember other games I enjoyed after posting an initial list.

For now, off the top of my head I will go for the following.

1. Wings
2. Rocket Ranger
3. Prince of Persia


And even now I'm suddenly thinking that I should add SWOS, Monkey Island 1 & 2, Lemmings, Indy & Fate of Atlantis (currently using the PSP version of Scumm to relive this classic), Lotus Turbo Challange, Cannon Fodder, Crammonds F1 Grand Prix, Champ Manager, Pinball Fantasies/Illusions, Shadow of the Beast trilogy and Xenon 2.

Gonna stop there or that list will just keep going.

1. SWOS.

Played it far, far too much. Loved it. However, i don't think i could go back to it now. You need a good joystick, i had a competition pro mini (loved that thing - imported it from the uk several times) and it gave me total control. I can't play it either with a joypad or an analogue stick (or keys on PC) i just can't move the players well enough, i always miss the ball. I used to be good at it too. No one played me good. Plus Pro Evo 5 is really a fantastic game, honestly better than swos, because you really feel like no two matches are ever the same.

2. Dungeon Master.

I bought a 500 because of this game, and in my eyes it is still the best RPG, i enjoyed it much more than Eye of the Beholder. Hard to play on PSP though because it's mouse driven. Tried mapping the number pad keys (np_7 and np_9) to the square and circle buttons on the PSP, but every time i pressed them it would turn four or five times. I could never make just a single 90 degree turn.

3. Paradroid 90.

Great on c64, I felt it was even better on Amiga. If you really concentrated you could last a really long time, but then it could all be over in a second. Very atmospheric. Would have been better if each ship had its own collection of droids, because there would have been greater incentive to reach later ships, and despite different level layouts it did get repetative. Still love it.

I have tremendous nostalgia for amiga games. Keep it up, pspuae!

i now play it with the analogue stick of a PS2 pad on my PC, and i dont think i've everbeen better at the game! took me a while to adjust, but there's not other control system for me now.

no no no no no!! pro eveo i find dull and lifeless... and evry game is the same for me. usually nil-nil or one-nil.   SWOS is a million times more fun, because it doesnt try to "simulate" football. i cant see how you can compare the two given the massive difference in playing styles..... but i will still say that SWOS wipes the floor with Pro Evo for enjoyment, since its more of an "arcade football"

I totally agree mate and playing PES5 online against people of all abilities recreates the wonderful world of football excellently.

no no no Horace  ;)
Scorelines on PES5 generally reflect the abilities of the players, i think as good as SWOS is its easier to fluke wins besides...i'm a sinner i prefer KO2 to SWOS  :o

Buuuuuurn the infidel.

SWOS rules all.  Followed by Winning Eleven which never seems to make the conversion to Pro Evo correctly.

I'm actually thinking of buying it for my psp but only if I knew for sure I could get it working without upgrading the FW.

Use DevHook, the Legal 1, that is ment for running / Emulating higher firmware. I tried it lastnight, works with 2.60 UMD`s, aint tried a 2.71 UMD yet (cause aint got 1). The new version of DevHook emulates FW2.71 now.

Version of DevHook I have is part of the DaxPak, would that be ok or should I just download the standalone version?

Aint heard of Dax pack, but I wouldnt try using FW2.71 on it if its and old version.

Version 0.44 supports 2.71 emulation.
