Best-of lists for the ST will surely have Dungeon Master, maybe Civilization, but of course Captive, etc. - all is right in the world Smile

Now that I've got the Stelladapter, I'm trying to recall what were teh games for the joystick; in the end, most of the games I remember well are mouse based (Millenium 2.2, Carrier Command, etc.)

Of course there is Xenon 2 and Xenon 1, and Plutos (I'm always a shooter-man)... but what else is good for joystick?

I don't recall if Falcon is played with joy or mouse (and keyboard in either case).. I just can't reclal that far back Smile

So.. a new kind of top list; your top 10 games by controller Smile

Off the top of my head:
F-29 Retaliator
Xenon 1 and Xenon 2
Plutos and other fun/goofy shooters; Better Dead Than Alien, etc
Buggy Boy (oh yeah!)
Hang-On (Super Hang-On?) The motorcycle one, like Out Run
Magic Pockets and Gods I'm sure people will bring up
... too tired, drawing up a blank; I need to consult my top games list Smile ...

Maybe (don't recall the controller type):
Falcon

Loved, but can't stand now:
Hotshot

Help us out! Smile

I'm seriously wiped out and can't think right anymore :)
 
Used to love the old ST and joystick games. Some I used to play were:

Robocod (James Pond 2)
Bubble Bobble
Rainbow Islands
New Zeland Story (with trainer.. so hard)
Stunt Car Racer
Super Sprint
Silk Worm
Garfield (kind of.. It looked so interesting but I never got anywhere)
Chubby Gristle
Rick Dangerous
Leander
Skullduggery (two player boulderdash clone - it was fun cos player two resembled the ghost enemy somewhat and I used to scare my brother while playing making him believe he was being chased by a ghost).
Harlequin
Mighty Bombjack
The Real Ghostbusters (way too hard)
Pengo
Super Stario Land
There was some weird game that had mario and sonic parodies in which was ace, but I've completely forgotten the name of it. Any ideas?
Gods, Magic Pockets as expected..
Beach Volley
Ghouls and Gobbilins (I think it was this one - long time ago)
