I saw this. Very cool concept, and of course a tiny bit controversial in the sense that not a single C64 title was highlighted.
I would have
at least put Last Ninja in there, even if it did make a lot of little kids cry. Or maybe IK+ or Paradroid.
At the end of the day, though, I guess a lot of the games for the C64 that are fondly remembered on the system were either ports or (ducks for cover) from the US, after scanning the top-ten list over at Lemon.
Here's their Top 25:
- O-oh Say Can You See...?
Out of those 25 games, out of the UK I see:
Last Ninja 2
IK+
Elite (port from BBC Micro version)
Bubble Bobble (port from Taito)
Paradroid
Laser Squad (port from ZX Spectrum)
When you eliminate the ports, it's surprising to only see 3 games. But they are top shelf, no doubt about it. A Last Ninja 2 stamp would have been super cool!
From a personal perspective, I was quite impressed and pleased to see Populous make the cut. Love that game.
Populous II is one of my favorite games of all time from the UK on Amiga.
From an Amiga Love standpoint, holy smokes the Royal Mail absolutely adores Amiga!
