Best Speccy game written in BASICHopefully this has not been done before, but anyhoo. My vote is the sublime VIKING RAIDERS.
I think ORACLES CAVE was written in basic. That was great.looking for a game.I've looked everywhere for it. Down the back of the setee, in my spare jacket, even in my sock draw. I just can't find it. Anyone seen it?

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys. I've started up a new thread for discussion of the WOS Times idea - as I said I would - good to hear the idea's been well received. Now it's over to you!
