Hint: 1. The screen capture is actually from the introduction, not the main game...

I don't think I'm right, but is it Super Stardust on the Amiga?

ZOMG! Exile just brought back a shit load of memories.... *goes to the loft to search for the BBC*

Frak of course is correct (in fact you can (half) see the level 1 spells FRAK out of the platforms)

True but I didn't see it and I did have to cheat a bit.

I think 2 is Driller, or possibly Mercenary. Top one is Shadow of the Beast, which was by Psygnosis (I knew someone who worked there). So, a Psygnosis shooter off the top of my head.... Awesome?

They are intentionally hard as they are BBC (not well known for being a gaming computer, but I enjoyed it) but they are games I played quite a lot. (No 2 especially which I played a lot, I view it as a classic after Elite)
Not TauCeti, no..

Number 2 is Cholo, and thank you for pointing me to a remake, I had no idea one existed!

and Imogen... fantastic... and Xor too...
Guess I know what I'll be doing today

Bump!

Is that Psygnosis shooter Baal? Menace? Blood Money (I think that was a helicopter though)?

EDIT: Are you sure it's not Awesome? The wiki entry mentions asteroids and a ray-traced intro.

Are we still trying to guess the #1 on the first page? I can't see it anymore. How about an in-game shot?

It's Blood Money, and I'm definite as I played with it on an emulator the next day.

and the number 1 of the BBC ones is Dare Devil Dennis... used to play it hours.
number 4 was Atari 2600: Video Pinball

Ok, your turn.
