Fifa 97? Something along those lines anyway. Could be any number of sports games.

Actually, I've changed my mind - partway through a confrontation has to be a series of games, therefore American Sports more than likely. Plus a joystick. Hmm... NHL 96?

2a Arsenal won the game in question 2-1, and I had all three scorers correct as I played it on my Amiga at half-time.

There you are, that gives you the sport, the format and the year.

You played your Amiga at half-time? You sad, sad loser.

When did Arsenal win the FA Cup in the Amiga period? gotta be 91-92 or thereabouts surely, when they were quite dominant. I've got a copy of Fever Pitch lying about somewhere...

Well, it can't be SWOS as we've already had that one. What's that other Amiga football game called?

It wasn't a great game!

Buck is very close to guessing it, but I have told DrSpike the answer if anyone gets it while I'm away. Good luck.

Yes, annoyingly, since I would probably have got this.

But I guess it's a football game, because of CoT's guess...

Clue #1: One of the Commodore 64's killer apps, strangely enough as it also appeared on (and I quote) "PC Booter, Apple II, NES, Atari 2600, Atari ST, Atari 7800, Amiga, Intellivision, ZX Spectrum". I guess the versions were different enough to merit it being a C64 classic only.

Hmm... many different versions across many different machines. They all had Flight Simulator, didn't they?

yeah, a slightly weird selection of platforms - like why the hell do an amiga version but only one british computer platform with the zx spectrum? most games in the amiga era that came out on one uk platform usually came out on Amstrad as well........but good to see the atari 800 left out in the cold again ( ) - it used to happen a lot.

Uridium? - not a great guess i'm afraid, but the C64 was widely said to have the best version.

hmm had to be around 86-87. Trying to think of a game that was on NES, Atari 2600 and C64 and was really big and biggest for the Commodore.

Alter-Ego, but I think that was only on computers anyway thats my guess.

intellivision!! - that is freaking me out with this? It cant be those classics like centipede/pacman/pitfall etc because they also came out on the Atari 400/800's......so that leaves?

we're all going to know of it when its finaly guessed though.

he he - nice one Buck

has to be a damn simple game if it came out on the atari2600 as well.

oh what the heck Beach Head? nope thats not it.

japanese coin op and atari2600 and intellivision!!

This shouldn't be this hard! - a japanese coin op and a big hit on the C64(plus multi-platform releases from clunky '4bits' ( ) to super '16bits'.

Space Harrier?

Clue #4: Right. Now for some of the reasons the C64 version was so good.

As you can tell by the spread of machines the game is really quite simple, and although it was obviously cut down graphics-wise from the arcade machine (and changed in orientation from vertical to horizontal) I believe it was perfect in level for eight-bits. The C64 version had smooth, well-working gameplay, decent graphics, and not least excellent new music by SID supremo Rob Hubbard.

Rob Hubbard? Apart from the vertical-horizontal thingy i would say Commando but instead I have go with Crazy Comets. That was also based on a arcade machine.

You might have to reconsider that guess.
