| *Vamos: Platform exploration game in the vein of Jet Set Willy but (slightly) more forgiving, if just as baffling. | *Vamos: Platform exploration game in the vein of Jet Set Willy but (slightly) more forgiving, if just as baffling. | ||

| + | * The Blueberry Hill: This game has an absolutely stunning use of a limited colour palette. | ||
| + | * Sketch: The British home computer version of //[[game:Exile]]// though is rather different to the action RPG versions of //[[game:xzr_series|Exile]]// available in the USA. To be quite honest, it's like a [[genre:metrovania]], with a real, living ecosystem to explore and use, eerie underground caverns, gradual progression, the ability to fly at will, real-world physics which need to be manipulated, and a warping quick-save feature where your spaceman can mark a point on a map, go somewhere else, and then warp back to it. | ||
| + | * Vamos: Also has a really nice PC remake / sequel, Exile The Nameless: http://exile.ovine.net/ | ||

| *Vamos: A difficult game to explain, but imagine Spindizzy without the exploration or Marble Madness crammed onto a single screen. Use slightly odd controls to get a generic object through mazes, against the clock. Weirdly addictive, good difficulty curve and awful / excellent music. | *Vamos: A difficult game to explain, but imagine Spindizzy without the exploration or Marble Madness crammed onto a single screen.
