As the list goes on, this gets tougher. At number 7 in my top ten titles, it has to be Toejam and Earl on the Sega Megadrive!

Two aliens stranded on Earth have to negotiate all manner of weird and wonderful characters and find scattered parts of their spaceship's wreckage. Find them all and they can return to their home planet Funkotron. Along the way they can pick up parcels temporarily giving them special abilities - all set to a soundtrack of jazz, funk and rap.

Although the premise was simple (wandering each level to find a spacecraft part and an elevator (!) to go up to the next stage), often frustrating and fairly repetitive, the game was full of humour, made all the more fun thanks to a brilliant co-op option.

Even now I can hear the theme tune...fantastic!
