hehe hamsi, cool that you remember Emlyn  Hughes Soccer; it was released as one of the last games on C64, so that nobody seems to know it. Best soccer game on C64 imo!
Reviewing my C64 archives, here are some more I liked:
Alter Ego (hehe)
Barry McGuigan Boxing (stand up, b@st@rd!)
Bomb Jack (good soundtrack)
Card Sharks (good old Ronnie, Gorbie and Maggie  )
Elite (Autopilote for landing rules)
H.E.R.O. (sssssssss)
International Soccer (my first C64 game)
Match Day 2 (slowest soccer game ever)
Movie Monster (stomp, Godzilla, stomp)
Paradroid (I want #999)
Street Sports Baseball (Kevin rules)
Tour de France (another joystick killer)
Vermeer (Burn in hell, Vico)

Wow, Hamsi, you impress me
Good answers so far from you - I still have to check the Barry McGuigan thingie. Thunder Thompson sounds ok, but I'm not sure about Cannonball Corby (sounds more like a Pokemon, lol). Vic is one player in Str.Sp. Baseballl 3 missing
About your q's
1) never played Larry
2) Team Name: Brutal Deluxe - Best Forward: Who on earth should know this??
3) I may be completely wrong here: Paul Black??
[edit] I was completely wrong.. it's F. Zappa lmao

Perfect thread for a nostalgic like me...
Here it goes:
PC
NHL 93-01 (with emphasis on '95. Still think it's the best game ever (along with HOMMII). I used to love it when you'd get to see highlights from other games in the intermission! That was so cool)
Prince of Persia
Tetris
Under a killing moon - Tex Murphy (my first cd rom-game - anyone else remember this one?"
Accolade's WinterGames
Inherit the earth (I think this was the first game I ever bought - two floppy disks and hours of furry fun! Found it now on an abandonware site, having a great time reliving the adventure!)
Lotus II (I think... or one or three, anyways, very "nice" music...)
Gunship 2000
Tie fighter
Monkey Island II
Arena II: The elder Scrolls: Daggerfall (still waiting for Morrowind...)
Minesweeper (My best times: Beginner - 7 sec. (that doesn't take much), Intermediate - 47 sec., expert 188)
Ducktales
Civilization
Jones in the fast lane
Commander Keen I - IV
Ports of Call
Ocean Trader
Day of the Tentacle
NES
Super Mario ('nuff said)
Batman
Blades of steel
Track'n'field II
Megaman 3
Rush'n'Attack
Turtles I & II
A boxing game where you knocked some fat guys undies off (anyone know what it's called?)
Atari
Bomberman
A game with two tractors driving around a labyrinth shooting at eachother
A game with two cannons on the ground, with various targets floating by in the sky. Great two-player game!
Venture (I think that was the title... not sure though)
Amiga
Sensible Soccer
The Lost Dutchman Mine(where you could survive simply by fishing... what a game!)
Another World
North & South (one of the first strategy games to achieve classic status in my book)
Dr. Hook
PGA Tour (one of the only golf games I've ever enjoyed)
Desert Strike
James Pond (maybe II, not sure)
Addams Family
I'll add more later...

BBC Computers....
Were great.. we used them at school right up untill I was 16 (backwards schools here!!). The floppy's were 10cms long and were held in the drive by a clip and a spring.. and they really were floppy! How kewl!
You couldn't crash one, as it was entirely DOS or something, the screen was black and it was connected to a.... DOT MATRIX!!!!
Once you have seen apples (red and square), dragons (different coloured and square), and castles (square) on a BBC, you apreciate RL more... It also had high pitched beepy music... ahhhh.. those were the days.. c'mon, someone else must remember BBCs!!

Ok, seeing this thread moving down the drain, I will give the missing answers, in case somebody is interested
1) How many different house layouts (=levels) does Spy vs. Spy have?
Hmmm, I thought this one would be easy. There were 9 different levels, #6 being my favourite.
2) Which Archon dark side unit is standing in the corners at the beginning?

3) Name 2 monsters other than Godzilla that appear in Movie Monster
Tarantula and The Blob for example. There were a few others tho, but don't remember them.

Bobsled
5) Name 5 of the top seeded nations in Microprose Soccer World Cup Tourneys
Top seeded teams wereBrazil, Italy, Argentina, Germany, Netherlands and USSR

Annie. Melissa and Leslie were the girls on Mars.
11) Name the 3 TV stations in Mad TV

5
15) Name 4 players that appear in Street Sports Baseball
Kevin, Bob, Vic, Kitty, Dana, Ralph and many more
16) What is the first event in World Games?
