You're not a wee mech in Cybernator, though, are you? Thought the robot was as big as a house. I still have my copy in the loft somewhere.

Yes.

@monkey - I've GameFAQuered the Plus/4 version.

Collect the shovel, then the key, then the treasure. Then it's a run back to the ship on the left. Blue pirates don't throw their cutlasses. Cheeses, kegs and red skulls are optional collects. (And killing all pirates.)

WORRR!!!

You were a little 3D spaceship like in Lander/Zarch/Virus?

Blue and red rings a bell, that's what I was thinking off.  Nnnng.

Can you remember a year, even roughly?

I think we got it for christmas around the early 1990s, probably no later than 1993.

The manual had a quote on the front page of the old classic line (apparently mistakenly attributed to old Bill) "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive".

Treasure Island? (Edit: @Monkey)

Well Jesus Christ I thought I was the only person on God's earth to own a Commodore Plus 4 and a copy of Treasure Island! My step dad even built a shoddy custom unit thing out of old ply wood to sit the blessed thing in next to my bunk bed. Proper great big waves of nostalgia there. I remember sitting there in anticipation that it might actually load up for once!

I fucking love this forum. 

Thanks chaps.

This the exact thing I had with all the games except the exorcist as my mum thought it might be scary! Lol. I remember Icicle Works being pretty much impossible...

Text adventure on the Spectrum. It was set in the future, I assume, post apocalyptic. I think. I have very vague memories of it. I remember you could drink from a puddle, then you'd die from radiation. Been bugging me for years. Pretty sure your character was a child.

Puzzle game on the Amiga 500. It was a cover disk game so may never have seen the full light of day. Essentially there were little coloured balls moving through tubes(?) and they would get to chambers which were round. The chambers could hold more than one ball and you rotated the chambers to keep the balls moving.

Different levels, different amounts of
Chambers irrc. Colourful game. Level screens didn't move they were fixed like Tetris which only the balls and
Chamber things moving.

That's all I've got..

It wasn't my intention. I went through a list of about 1000 games before I found it.

@elf: For shits, I googled "snes barbarian magic" and the first thing it said was Magic Sword. That's not actually right, is it?

Good one, but no, I am familiar with Magic Sword although I didn't think much of it either. The game I'm thinking of was similar, but looked far worse! Maybe best that I don't find out or remember it.

Can anyone remember an isometric 2 player game, I think it was on the mega drive but might have been the SNES. I think you played as one of two brothers and had to fight aliens (probably). I remember there being an escalator in one of the levels and I think you had to disable some generators.

Not much to go on but hopefully it jogs someone's memory. It wasn't the zombie game on the SNES.

Definitely not a beat em up. I have a very vague recollection of it.

It might have been toejam and earl and my memories have blurred together a bit.
