The original Railway Tycoon on the old Amiga 1200 was ace. Virtual Pool was another good one on the amiga. I also had a footie game for the Amiga but can't for the life of me remember what it was called, but I do know Accy Stanley were on the game.

After the Amiga I had a Master System II with Alex the Kid built in, what a game!! I had Terminator v Robocop for the Master System II.

For pure old school footie manager game it has to be Champ Manager 94 where you have to enter the results from a certain page of the manual to be able to load the game.

4, Sensible Soccer -- Got a t-shirt of the game on now, nuff said
5, Xenon 2: Megablast -- On the Atari ST. One of the best shoot 'em ups ever (http://www.bitmap-brothers.co.uk/our-games/past/xenon2.htm)

super off road on a 086 pc 5 1/4 floppy - used to fight with my brothers over whose go it was. And super mario on the gameboy - completing it twice in a row so you could go through super quick with 99 lives  - trying to go through as many times as you could before the batteries ran out.

also - micro machines on the PS1 - still way too quick when you're pissed and can't remember the tracks.

An atari what? old skool, computer or jaguar.

Also Super Mario on the Snes and Gameboy are different games.

I stuggle with Goldeneye being retro, but perfect dark is pushing it. I know it's the same system but it was released this decade.

Deus Ex was released the same year as Perfect Dark and it scares me to think of that as retro. Brilliant game though. Deus Ex was released a year before 9/11 yet interestingly the whole plot line is about an American government setting up disasters to claim greater power. They just set it 30 years to far into the future.
