My favourites so far this year are:

Turrican - an obvious choice, but doesn't EVERYONE love this game anyway?

Helter Skelter - I'd never played this before, but it has a real charm to it.  Basic arcade-style gameplay, but really fun and quite addictive.  Is this one based on another game or is it an original concept?

Switchblade II - I bought this one when it came out!  Superb platformer let down by AWFUL scrolling.  Fortunately the game has bucket loads of character and there's a great console-style game behind the bad coding.  It's worth checking out the superior Amiga version, if you have one.

P-47 - Another one I'd never heard of before... This is a really solid shooter (and I actually prefer this to WoD) with superb arcade style gfx and classic game-play.  Timeless.

Wings of Death DELUXE - Kudos to DBug for the music upgrade on this one.  Shame you couldn't bypass the 'insert disk two and press space' message, but out of all the releases so far this year, this is the one that's made me really wish I had a falcon!

Now for my xmas wish list (which is a bit pointless as I know these aren't in the line up)...

Bonanza Bros - I played the ST port of this the other day and was really surprised at how well this psuedo 3D platforming rob-em-up plays on the Atari - well worth a look.

Stardust - I don't care that this can't be falconised!  I just want an HD patch so I can remove three disks from my box and play this great game with ease!!!

Eliminator - Classic Hewson shooter that is actually better on the ST than Amiga!  W00t!

Rubicon - Boss-rush shoot-em-up that plays really well and has stood the test of time.  Great gfx considering the limitations of the ST palette - very Bitmap Bros.  Also has the same name as a very tasty brand of exotic juice drinks ;)

Plutos - An AWESOME two-player shooter that really pushes the ST to it's limits!  OK, that's a lie.  ;) But despite being 80's Microdeal pap, this game is actually great fun with two players...  Although the Atari 7800 prototype port is much better!

Magic Boy - Massively underated cutesy platformer.  It has rasters too!

I could go on, but this exercise is rather pointless, and I'll be happy with whatever the DBug future releases are... well, I will be after the onslaught of bad games have finished! ;)
