In reference to several articles about the lack of playability of psygnosis 
games ...

I have found one good one - Obliterator.

This is a GREAT game. Sure, the response from the controls is not speedy - 
but there is a rhythm to controlling the hero, and once you get the hang
of it, it's a lot of fun. I have to admit, i put this game away after i got
frustrated with the response time. i would end up storing a bunch of mouse 
clicks, and then they'd all come at once - or so it seemed.   But that was
before i got the rhythm down.  The beauty of this game is that you have to
master all of the hero's abilities : jumping, shooting, defensive actions; and
you have to make a map.  you can't just blast away at everything and expect 
to win.  And did i mention that you _can_ win. There is an end to this game.
I like it. Buy it. You can even back it up with Nib.
(Plus it's an old game so it's pretty cheap.)
