TURRICAN (best of the best)
BATTLESQUADRON (shoot'em'up, one of the best)
SILKWORM          "
STUNT CAR RACER (car race in 3D. Really fantastic)
KICK-OFF 2 (soccer)
DATASTORM (defender clone, but much better)
ANARCHY        "
FLOOD (platform game)
EMERALD MINES (old, but really one of the best games ever made)
R-TYPE (shoot'em'up)
X-OUT      "
REVENGE OF DEFENDER (defender clone)
