Brundles is great, although the character set based graphics and jerky block by block animation is the sticking point for me.

Yeah, a character-based version with single-pixel movement is something that could be done for an improvement; might even be possible to use Brundles as a basis for it.

I thought that. For me the full animation for Lemmings, which Tommingi totally nails, is a must.

Part of the reason is he's using Antic D (BASIC 7), which has square pixels. So, he was able to take all the animation sequences from some existing version and use them directly.

Well, now that we have Doom, how about Doom II, Duke Nukem, and Quake?

I don't want to ask for too much, so I'll leave Quake II and III, and all the new Wolfenstein's off the list.

I always preferred Marathon, especially for multiplayer; plus, Bungie released the developer tools (Forge & Anvil) with Infinity (3rd game in the series), for making maps, and editing physics, graphics, sounds, etc. A few years back they made these work with Intel Macs and released them for free. Marathon Trilogy Box Set

Marathon

There's also Aleph One, which is an open source project that continues the game with the Marathon 2 engine, for Mac, Windows, and Linux. Aleph One - Marathon Open Source

Going back to Kansas is really quite easy Dorothy: all you have to do is close your eyes, tap your heels together 3 times, and think to yourself: "There's no place like home...".

I won´t consider it a "Top Game", but personally I would like to have Hypa-Ball on the A8: https://www.c64-wiki.de/wiki/Hypa-Ball

Sid Meier's Pirates!

I think this is well known.. I just looked it up in case if I misremembered it, but it seems that it was indeed even partially coded in basic. At least on C64.

 

Psi-5 Trading Company.

 

Fantasy.

Me and a friend played this a some time ago while going through some SNK PC compilation. There was no home release as as I know, but there's a Ti-99 Prototype out there.
