METAL GEAR: Hideo Kojima's first stealth game set new standards in the action/adventure genre. The game boasted an intelligent story and great graphics but what set it apart from other games at the time was the ability to sneak past guards as opposed to just shooting everything in sight. This added a whole new dimention to the game. Solid Snake is currently embarking his fourth outing, in what is possibly the most eagerly anticipated game in video game history.Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is expected on Playstation2 late 2001.

heston.net pong v1.0

Commadore 64 emulator needed
WIZBALL: Wizball's various styles of gameplay, married with the massively fun multiplier modes made it one of the Commadore's most enjoyable offerings. As far as 8bit platform games go it is still unmatched in terms of gameplay depth and due to its friendly graphics and its easy to pick up control system it still remains hugely playable today.
Commadore 64 emulator needed
CREATURES: One of the silliest games on the 64 and a personal favourite. It may not be a true classic and it has been greatly surpassed but at the time this was an excellent game and will bring back old memories to those lucky enough to own it at the time.
click to download space invaders
heston.net space invaders v1.0
SPACE INVADERS: The classic shoot-em up that helped sell Atari's 2600 (VCS) console is still great to play. It was the balanced gaming that made it such a special game when it was released in 1978(ish?!) and it has not lost any of its charm since then. This version of the game is an unfair reresentation as some of the key gameing elements have been lost.  Click for instructions
PAC-MAN: No one can deny that namco's classic pill gobbler is one of the most popular games ever.
