God what a great thread… im a total geek still after all these years after my zx spectrum!
impossible to answer but i'll give it a go going in a time line styleee
1 – Manic Miner (zx) – the original classic
2 – Bubble Bobble (Amiga)- jump from spectrum 128k to amiga was huuuuge!!
3 – Tomb Raider (PS1)- amazing graphics and was just such a jump!
4 – Grand theft auto – (PS2) again amazing jump, open world environment!
5 – Call of duty – massive jump again with graphics and online play
again i agree with most of the above…
gauntlet – amazing
populous – first proper point and click
gran turismo – (ps2) wasted my life on that
syphon filter (ps1)
thing is these days the graphics are in another world but most of the games dont have the gameplay the old ones did?
