It’s probably Rainbow Islands, mainly because it’s an excellent conversion that makes up for the disappointing Amstrad Bubble Bobble port.

Uridium is a fantastic blast, but I’ll go for the esoteric charms of Gribbly’s Day Out. Odd but inspired and another reason to love Andrew Braybrook. Expertise:
