96. Marauder - Hewson, 1988

The first Hewson game on this list, and trust me it won't be the last! I loved this little shooter which had a neat upgrade risk-reward system where you had to shoot coloured lights. Shoot the wrong one and you could end up with your gun jammed - or as the game annoyingly said, ‘gun jamed’.

95. Ghostbusters - Activision, 1984

One of the earliest big film licences, there was a lot of fuss around Ghostbusters when it was first released. Admittedly, the C64 version is far superior, but I still had a lot of fun driving round and bustin’ spooks. And it did kinda sound like ‘Ghostbusters’, didn't it?!

94. Chronos - Mastertronic, 1987

Budget games became big business in the latter half of the Eighties, and Mastertronic were the masters, selling games like this for just £1.99. In truth, Chronos is not the most original of shoot-'em-ups, but it's massive fun and has some really sharp and colourful graphics. The loading screen is particularly lovely as is the amazing music by Tim Follin. Created by the Tatlock Brothers, we will see another of their games soon.
