Difficult, there are some truly horrific games out there :lol:

I really like Castle Wolfenstein and Beyond Castle Wolfenstein but you'll get nowhere if you don't know the joystick and keyboard combos. If you want to shoot one of the Nazi guards for example, you need to trigger your gun with the joystick then press START to fire, which is not practical at all...

Yes,there are some truly 'pants' games out there,just tried Wolfenstein again with a clean slate,guess what?? Perhaps it's just not meant to be...

CONFESSION OF THE DAY:

I have just played Floyd of the Jungle by Microprose and thoroughly enjoyed it...is this normal or do I need to get out more??

:oops:

Hm, I think I didn't like the sports games since my joysticks died one after another ...

I trashed several Spectrum keyboard membranes playing "Daley Thompson's Decathlon" back in the 80s.

Could never have afforded an Atari computer at that time :(

Too many bad games to name one Worst but I hate all games that use one particular sound effect. That's sliding the sound registers from low pitch to high with distortion. You know that shoo-ooh-eeeeee-iii-screech sound.

This is like scratching you fingers on chalkboard to me.
