Not even close. The clues are purposefully vague so far; I'll add something a bit more concrete when some others have had chance to have a speculative guess.

Man, a new thread already. Too bad the internet connection to Apolyton is rather flaky for me at the moment.
No connection at all in fact

Don't know if it has been on the Megadrive also... didn't own such.... thing...

For Dr.Spike(the current leader) - i think this is about right, if there are any missed out let me know[Maybe by PM would be best?] and i'll update it for the duration of this thread(GAME 5)
[How the hell do you put 'spaces' between text? i just spent ages putting bold on/off for all the game names!!!!]
Game rules:
- Games are not allowed to be newer than Amiga games(1997?), but anything before that is allowed (No matter on which computer it was played on)
- you shall write information about which computer you played it on
- Don't write part of the name in the game info, unless there's no way to avoid it
- Write as little as possible, if nobody can guess, write some more later
- Try to keep games, to be from computers, most people have had...
- If you're the first one to guess a game, and you're certain you're right, feel free to post your game info (In case you know you'll be leaving soon)... but other players are not allowed to start guessing, before the poster of the first question has approved the answer, or most other players approve the answer

You've got one of mine wrong.
I didn't guess Turrican, because it was my game!
I'm sure that I should still have 4 points, but can't remember which game it was for. Yeah - it was Rise of the Dragon.

ok corrected Dr.Spike +1(now on 19!) and the honourable duke o'york -1(unless he can find another! - which he did 'Rise of Dragon' - so backon 4 )
This list was based on the last one posted at the beginning of Game 4, so i'll only be responsible for errors after that

I wasn't really -1 for Turrican, because Rise of the Dragon wasn't on, so I recouped the point I had stolen from Dr Spike on that.
Good job CoT.
