I’m quite shocked to see Sensible Soccer 1992 not even making it (it would be in my top 5). I would also have liked to see a few more adventure games selected (Maniac Mansion or Cruise for a Corpse for ex.).

I cant go to top 5

Sundog is indeed a great game. FTL aren’t exactly under-represented in the list are they though?

You can’t beat the “feel” of the first one.

]]> Comment on Starball review by Claus http://thejoyofsticks.wordpress.com/2009/08/26/starball-review/#comment-335 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 20:17:34 +0000 http://thejoyofsticks.wordpress.com/?p=668#comment-335 Like many of you, I got my copy of Starball from the british Atari Mag. It´s the only game I ever played (except for solitaire) and I got hooked immediately. Even sent my 5 pounds to the P.O.Box but they came back, nobody had come for them.
Now if Starball could run on MacOSX, I´d gladly buy it. All the computer games I´ve seen bore the shxt out of me but this one was really fun!

If you have Windows, then STeem is highly recommended.

There were a lot of great games omitted from the list, but I am unfamiliar with Empire – off to Atari Legend!
