Ork (1991 – Amiga, Atari ST)

Another prog-tastic effort from Psygnosis. Is that the asteroid-dwelling creature that tries to eat the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars? No, and fortunately George Lucas' lawyers didn't clock the homage – gaming was relatively below the radar back in the day.

The game saw you controlling the alien Ka-Kabul on planet Cisskei, solving puzzles and killing enemies. And in keeping with Psygnosis's tradition of referencing earlier games, the third level of Ork features Lemmings leaping off a cliff. At least they owned the rights to that one.
