Fighting Soccer
1988
Football coin-op conversion. Large sprites and small playing field. Passing is not important as the main emphasis is on winning the ball and running with it. Very difficult to keep hold of the ball when you are in possession as the opposition defenders have a lot more pace than the player with the ball so games tend to be a melee in the middle of the field of players all frantically tackling each other for possession.Ferrari Formula One

Exile

Exile is a single-player action-adventure video game originally published for the Acorn Electron and BBC Micro in 1988 by Superior Software and later ported to the Commodore 64, Amiga, CD32 and Atari ST, all published by Audiogenic. Exile's game physics engine qualifies it to be the first game to have a complete Newtonian motion model. At the time of its release it was considered to push the boundaries of what was possible on home computers, particularly on the 8-bit platforms. It remains probably the most complex game available for the BBC Micro. The game was designed and programmed by Peter Irvin (author of Starship Command, a space shoot-em-up with an innovative control system) and Jeremy Smith (author of Thrust, a game based on cave exploration with a simpler physics model).Eliminator

This is accomplished by destroying a power network in the form of ECD (Energy Collection Device) columns, dotted around the moon and connected with power lines all the way to the beam weapon. An ECD (Energy Collection Device) column. To destroy the ECD, the player needs to shoot the top part of the column. To complete the mission, the player has at his disposal an arsenal of beam weapons mounted on a jetpack equipped pressure suit. The aim is to destroy all ECDs in a specific order and avoid capture and death by the traps left by the terrorists. ECDs are connected to power lines and can only be destDemon's Winter

Chubby Gristle is one of the fattest car park attendants ever and as the game progresses he is likely to get even bigger. On a good day he's barking out instructions such as "You can't park here" but if you happen to be in favour he'll probably mumble "I'll have a word with t'Commissioner and try and sort something out for you". Love 'em or hate 'em, car park attendants can't be ignored! Chubby's one passion in life is FOOD and plenty of it and his aim is to eat his way through 20 screens stuffing himself silly and reaching that one ton mark. If he doesn't, then the consequences of being sent to a health farm just don't bear thinking about! Throughout the game you need to collect certain items to help you later on but be choosy as not all items will help you. If Chubby is successful in the mission through the screens and weighs in at one ton, his reward will be to go home to Mrs. Gristle for a good fry up or a steak and kidney pie followed by Spotted Dick.
