I'm going back in time... Are you coming with me?
Check out each of the 21 games I plodded through and reviewed...
Winners and Losers?
That is a tough question, especially looking at the massive list. If I'm in the mood for a platformer then there is no contest: Beyond The Ice Palace wins hands down. A shooter, then Zynaps. An arcade conversion, easily Ikari Warriors. However, this is such a diverse pack and "up there" are games like Thrust, Black Lamp, Buggy Boy, and Rana Rama.
- Arkanoid II - Pure old skool gaming and it is brilliant.
- Beyond The Ice Palace - Blondes really do have more fun!
- Black Lamp - Faster turning would have made this perfect.
- Buggy Boy - Come on, who doesn't LOVE this arcade racer?
- Chopper X - Turn down the volume... and it's still rubbish!
- Eddie Edward's Super Ski - It's fun wearing milk-bottle lenses!
- Ikari Warriors - A classic arcade conversion.
- Marble Madness - Not my cuppa tea and a buggy lame port.
- Quadralien - A great game to dig your heels into this!!
- Ranarama - Gauntlet, for those who enjoy using their brain?
- Return To Genesis - Swoosh, I'm dead! Whoosh, I'm dead!
- Road Wars - There's always one...
- Seconds Out - Then again, make that two!
- Starquake - What a belting ZX Spectrum conversion.
- Summer Olympiad - Good fun but needed a few more events.
- Test Drive - Yeah, it's time for a road trip in my new Corvette.
- Thrust - Come on, this is a beauty. Love it!!
- Thundercats - A bit wooden and far too difficult. Whhhhhhy??
- Wizball - A corker, if you master its massive learning curve!
- Xenon - It's all about level one for me. A great game.
- Zynaps - Thanks to Hewson we ended on a massive high!

However, even at 17 years old, I wouldn't have the reactions to cope with Return To Genesis lol.
Well, folks, this has been enormous fun over the many months spent gaming and writing. This pack certainly proves Atari went that extra mile to deliver an exceptional product. What a giveaway, 21 incredible games AND an Organiser too (Woo, fun times). I hope you enjoyed this run through the Super Pack? Let me know in the comments below :)
Here is my Top Ten and I've also compiled each in a YouTube video (including my legendary Zynaps skills!
