@90sfootball He absolutely lost his head that day.

@OakalyDokaly @jenkin7NICK Oh, Operation Wolf with a mouse sounds fantastic 👌

@talkSPORT This is extremely sad to hear. Danny was a brilliant broadcaster. He encapsulated effortless style with extreme sporting knowledge. A sad day.

Other folks have reminded me of Hybris this morning, so here it is. Released for the Commodore Amiga in 1988 by Discovery, it incorporates some of the most finely balanced gameplay to ever grace the 16bit machine.

The soundtrack is also as impressive as the gameplay.

@MarkRJones1970 @Horace48K Hybris was fantastic. The gameplay was so well balanced. Graphically, it wasn't the most polished, but it played so nicely. Cracking soundtrack, too.

@jenkin7NICK Pssst was great. Really great 👍

[Mart Retro @RetroBrothers]

@MuseumCommodore Yep
I had this game. It was really good. DiD really elevated 3D graphics and environments.

@dantemendes Xenon II is not in the same league. Battle Squadron is a top tier shmup 👍

@tina0402x Crikey, it's never ending. Sending best wishes to you ❤️

[Mart Retro @RetroBrothers]

@KevinToms Gremlin were one of my favourites. It's great to see the original logo here

[Mart Retro @RetroBrothers]

@MuseumCommodore Yes, one of my favourites (Adventure A: Planet of Death)
The Artic adventures were a lot of fun.

[Mart Retro @RetroBrothers]

@LLoki88 Agreed 👍

[Mart Retro @RetroBrothers]

I just wished they made the sprites a little smaller. Like a bit of bulk, gain a bit of speed?

[Mart Retro @RetroBrothers]

@LLoki88 Yep. Chase HQ was really good 👍
Buggy Boy was more than decent, too.

[Mart Retro @RetroBrothers]

@TheRetroAsylum @WizkidCoder Ah yes, I remember that!

[Mart Retro @RetroBrothers]

@AtariCrypt "Danger, danger, danger..."

[Mart Retro @RetroBrothers]

@_ragegun True, plus I remember Buggy Boy being decent, too.

@midnightmangler @spectrum48k The audio cassette was cool. A friend of mine bought it (that's how I played it) and we ended up listening to the music a lot 🎶

[Mart Retro @RetroBrothers]

@jenkin7NICK It really was. The advancement through the 8bit and 16bit eras, then onto consoles and PC was incredible.
