It’s the first Remember This of the year. Welcome back! I look forward to another year of humiliation, followed by me totally creating the most vague Remember This posts in response. We’re gonna have some good times in 2015!
Good luck with today’s post!

it makes me think of missile command, but that would be too easy
Yeah, Missile Command was my guess, too.
I think you are right.
I am going to say Star Wars arcade by Atari
I was just about to say the same
Doom?
Clearly it’s the game of drawing random stuff into an MSPaint canvas and then saying “look! ART!”
Mario Paint for the SNES!
Microsoft Windows 98…lines screensaver.
Biker Mice from Mars!!!
BattleZone?
Vectors for the new year hey? And a trackball too? Can only be missile command.
I think its Quix!
reminds me of Black Widow – but the colours are wrong
Elite.
Guessing because 1) Polygons and 2) recent release of Elite: Dangerous.
EDIT: Google shows the original Elite only had white lines, so probably not Elite.
There were lots of ports of that game. I played it on the BBC master (as opposed to micro) and it had colour.
It definitely looks like elite.
Missile command probably:

I will also say Missile Command. This is probably the first time I’ve had a guess at one of these! They’re usually way too hard for me!
Battle Tanks
Scorched Earth
I so think I know this game… Problem I can’t remember the name. OK I wiki’d it through a rather complex series of backwards searching and found out it’s called Qix (By Taito).
It involves what appears to be a scribble flying around while you try and cover the screen in boxes which you draw with your cursor like controller, weird game but kind of fun.
The Hobbit on the C64?
scorched earth!?
loved that game. Actually found a website that had it and challenged my son to a game.
Missile Command for the Atari 5200.
Pew Pew Pew
looks about as detailed as modern art today
Virtual boy colours and wire frame? Red Alarm
The old dos game Styx?
That’s a good guess, I answered Qix which was pretty much the same game.
flight simulator 1?
Disfigured stick man tries to climb a ladder?
Elite (the original) – looks like the side of one of the space stations side.
