Computer Game Software: The Classics

I recently found a Yahoo! games article conveniently telling us the Top 100 computer software games of all time. Great stuff - but do we agree?

The first thing i noticed is that Tetris is in there, which is a superb game. It's so good that many mobile phones have it as part of their built in games these days (except mine!).

There's also Mario in the list (and rightly so!), everyone's favourite little red-capped hero. Mario has covered all computer ground and if you have a Nintendo Wii then i suggest you purchase Mario Kart to add to your collection (if you haven't already).

Computer game software has really advanced since the early days. If you decided to play Theme Hospital on your PC now, you might be a bit shocked at the graphics quality. But then lets remember how these retro games are coming back into fashion. If you ever had Alex Kidd on the Mater System then you will remember how great this game was and i know lots of people who have gone up into the loft and brought down their old computer consoles and games so they can reminisce and play them once again.

Does anyone remember the following retro games on the Master System?
  • The Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse
  • Alex Kidd in Miracle World
  • Wonderboy III The Dragon's Trap
  • Alien Storm
  • Cyborg Hunter
  • Deep Duck Trouble Starring Donald Duck
  • Dragon Crystal
  • Line Of Fire
  • Penguin Land
