YES!

I loved this game so much. Doesnt look particulary exciting, but the amount of time i wasted on this is insane.
Pushover :D

Edit. I just found a remake online. There goes my Sunday.

Looking at that list, Ocean never did much for me game wise...I remember most of the C64 games being licensed slop. I did own Renegade which rocked, despite the whacky joystick/keyboard controls (never could beat Big Bertha though), and Match Day II, which I played religiously despite being slow as shit with some whacky ball physics (I would've bought Microprose Soccer or Kick Off, but we were pretty close to moving to Canada at that point). Rambo 2 also rocked, though I've never been sure if the C64 and Master System versions were the same game, or different games that just happened to be similiar.

Anyway, I don't value Ocean for their games as much as their loader music. Particularly Ocean Loader tunes versions 3 and 4...two of the most bad ass C64 SID's ever cranked out. Rambo 2's loading tune was also ace. Also loved the menu tune for Match Day 2.

Why no N.O.M.A.D. on the spectum list. Twas a classic game that I used to play at my mates who had a speccy. I had a c64 and unfortunately they never ported it over.

Also, does anyone remember what the isometric 3D game was on the Spectrum that was set in a prison camp?

I had N.O.M.A.D. for the Amstrad, I timed it once and it took 7 mins to load to the main screen.

Not too bad, I had games on my C64 which took over 10 mins, and I swear that 5 mins of that was taken just to load the 'loading picture' which was shown for the remaining 5 mins.
