I remember playing Defender of the Crown so many times and rocket ranger as well. Ah, heady days.

So what Cinemaware titles has anyone else played?

No cause is lost if there is but one fool left to fight for it.

I must have completely missed all Cinemaware games for some reason.

Just watched the video... the only problem was the presenter kinda distracted me from the games showing behind her (I can't imagine why;^)

So was Death Bringer in 1989 but it doesn't make them Cinemaware games as they only published someone elses work.
