I still remember buying and trying to play Ultima VII back in the day. My PC had a 40MB hard drive and Ultima VII required 21MB just for the game and another 300K per save. It also required a highly tuned boot disk as it required every square inch of conventional memory to start, plus Expanded Memory in a specific configuration. The amount of time I spent trying to clean out the fridge to make that fit on my hard drive and it still ran at like 2fps. But I loved it!

Sid Meiers games needs some space I think, Sim City, Pirates! etc. I would also say Secret of Monkey Island is/was an epic game from that era. The Lotus games. Too many to choose from.. As a suggestion, I would also maybe add a cabinet that showcases the modern games that has been developed for these classic computers? The Planet X trilogy, Attack of the PETSCII robots are those I'm familiar with, but I am sure there are some other candidates for that as well so it's not just from the 8-bit guy... :)

I was after a copy of POP on the Amiga last week, it went for £173!.. So, definitely get that one in the cabinet!

The genre Prince of Persia was cinematic platformer and there are quite a few games in that genre.

Yeah, Another World, Flashback, Abe's Oddysee and Heart of Darkness spring to mind, but I realise there are plenty more!

KQ , SQ and PQ were my favourite game series back in the day, in fact they still are !

I think Police Quest should be up there. it's one of the most complicated games done in the 90s

A couple I'd pick are Space Invaders for that Atari 2600 and Manic Miner for the speccy.

When every other retro IP has been exploited and Hollywood gets round to making Giana Sisters: The Movie, Jo Brand and Mel Giedroyc need to call their agents asap. 15:00

Prince of Persia was perhaps the first ever PC game I've ever played, brings back memories. I've also played the NES version on a famiclone. You missed one genre in your cabinet - real-time strategy games. I'd say the one which defined the genere, Dune 2, would be a perfect entry. The original C&C would be a decent entry as well. These games probably aren't that rare to deserve being museum pieces though, but they did define the entire genre.

Cracking video once again and I think I've learnt a lot about your choices. For me it would be (in no particular order)... Doom (no reason needed as the whole series is epic) Sid Meier's Colonization (because I spent the most amount of time on this as a kid) GTA3 (Massive leap from the 2D top down genre to 3D - Maybe Vice City as a close second) Tetris (My first experience of this was on the Gameboy...the hardware of which deserves it's own video) Half Life (1&2 - no explanation needed) Max Payne 3 (Still holds up today and a lot of these features were used in GTA5)
