Jon Ritman gamesMy fave is [B]Match Day[/B]. It was one of the first Spectrum games I bought. 3D Combat Zone is a very decent 3D game.
I'm quite fond of Combat Zone and Dimension Destructors, as I played them both a lot in the early days, but his magnum opus, is surely Head Over Heels.
Oh, and what about Namtir Raiders on the ZX81?
