49. Starquake (Amstrad CPC464- also on Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, and Atari)


One of two games on my list that were released before I was born. This game was brilliant, if a bit difficult. You play BLOB (Bio-Logically Operated Being) who crash lands on a planet full of hostiles beings and has to find all the pieces of a core needed to stabilise the planet (A total of 9 different pieces). It was open world, featured hovercraft, teleporters and the locations of the core and it's pieces would randomly change with each new game. Really ahead of its time the game area was massive, colourful and it was a joy to explore its 2D landscapes.

No. 47 clue: A beautiful cell shaded reboot of a classic platform/adventure.
