Since the PoP thread has degenerated I thought I'd start another. Remebering old classics that some of us may have missed....(as I'm sure that some could be obtained for free now)

I'll start you off. Run Baby Run on the Speccy was a gem. You are a getaway driver bloke with the cozzers in hot pursuit, they follow your exact path and you have to get them to cross over eachother and crash..

excellent.

Have a link. Play it here.

I used to love an arcade game called "TailGunner". I played it a lot when I was at University. In those days the graphics were wireframe (and the manual was in Latin) but it has been updated for the web.
