 Very nice games for Oric

These guys do incredible things with the Oric system... Very similar processor with even restricted video mode and they do wonders All their 3 games are jewels IMHO.

Love all of the Defence Force Games! I met DBug years ago on IRC, then he came out with these terrific games. Space 1999 is a must see, a fantastic arcade adventure in pure old style Ultimate-ish isometric, and has a fantastic presentation; the Stormlord conversion takes the Oric's gfx to a new level displaying so many colours for that machine, and 1337, the Elite pseudoconvertion project is a milestone to achieve!

The "Space 1999" development was very interesting to follow (did so years ago and thought it should get a plus/4 port ). Search some ORIC forum for that. It's a good read and lots of stuff is not limited to ORIC but applies to all isometric games.

Also Twilighte's other stuff is worth checking out.

To illustrate the limitations: I recall DBug telling that not even a simple clear screen fits within one frame on the Oric
