Surprised to see that the widely critizised Sir Fred is at the second place, and the also heavily critizised Game Over is on the Top too.
Seems that people still prefer the old ones, as Fred is the most appreciated.
And also its a suprise that some very good games, like Gonzzalezz, have 0 or very few votes...
Why have a poll and not have some of the most popular games?
Where's Rocky/Rocco?
I had to discard some games as I was choosing them according to the score and I didnt want to make it a 100 games choice! (I have enough once a year with the best Spectrum game of the year poll :) )
I have only played a few of these games which would be Sir Fred,Fred,Satan,Dustin and Game Over but I am afraid i can only give three of these a vote.I have good memories of playing Fred despite it`s clunky scrolling but i can still play the game today,I played Satan first on the CPC which is real good to be honest and i played the Speccy version later and enjoyed it.The third is Dustin which is quite interesting in design and a little unusual i thought, so it gets my vote.
I am afraid Sir Fred is just too unresponsive for my tastes and i felt Game Over was uninspiring to say the least. Interesting poll as always though and i look forward to seeking out and playing some of the other games on this list.
