I liked a lot of Spectrum and then Amiga games, stuff by Bitmap Brothers, Sensible Software, Ocean, U.S. Gold, those kinds of labels. Games like Sensible Soccer, Cannon Fodder, Speedball 2, Daley Thompsons Decathlon, Olympic Gold, Lemmings, a few football manager games I forget the name of. Sports and mouse games, basically.
There were also plenty of good quality platformers like the James Pond games, Another World.
Console was almost all Japanese though, thinking about it. I guess I didn't mind the Strike games (Desert, Jungle etc). I've never owned an Atari.
