Still miffed that Football Manager wasn't included in the 82 poll.
Lords of Midnight MUST be in the 84 poll.
83's tricky. Should I go for Deathchase or Stop the Express?
Doesn't really matter, Manic Miner will win. It's the iconic speccy game. Everyone seems to skim over the fact that it's crap!
Voted Ant Attack. My problem is that I can't be objective and vote "the best", so I voted "my favourite". Atic Atac or Deathchase are probably better, but I liked Ant Attack better.
Oh man, I could have picked any one from four and been happy with the result! I actually wrote them all on pieces of paper in the end and picked one out. Jetpac won!
voted MM.. wow , how unfar I got in that game back in the day of real specs, only up to Eugene's Lair iirc... thanks to snapshots I've now cheat-completed it
always preferred Cookie to Pssst btw..less fiddly, more exciting imo
MM gave me a lot of pleasure once I worked out how to get past Eugene, but not getting my Speccy until late 1985 I never owned any of the others except Halls (which had a great loading sequence but I could never remember which key did which) so I've only ever played them a handful of times if at all on a real Speccy.
So it's between MM, Deathchase or Stop The Express for me.
Halls for me personally as i spent hundreds of hours on that as a teen,Stop The Express is the only one there i do not like.I imagine overall opinion should dictate Either MM or AA to win this.

Nah, you were right to go with Ant Attack. 'Tis the best indeed.
The polls have been a shambles. Mickmog has now been relieved of his duties.:D
Well, I suppose there are a lot of games to pick from to make up the shortlist, and opinions vary widely. eg The Hobbit. I never rated that game at all, but it's the runaway winner in the '82 poll.
Just realised that another one of my favourites, Lunar Jetman, is missing in action. That's another game that has improved with time (ie In the controls department).

I think your mouse could be playing up though - you appear to have picked Manic Miner instead. :p
Have gone for Jetpac, though I think 3 or 4 from that list could comfortably share the top spot.

Deathchase gets my vote. I still enjoy playing it after all this time. I find the gameplay to be almost hypnotic.
EDIT Surprised that The Pyramid wasn't in the list to pick from. Still get a real buzz playing that one, too.

I relieved myself :razz:
These were the only games for the year in the top 100 - but I know that is another can of worms!
the stamper bros, although accumulating votes from three games, aren't able to reach him. (8+4+2).
probably with a multiple choice poll they would have won, though.
