  • Best Speccy game written in BASICHopefully this has not been done before, but anyhoo. My vote is the sublime VIKING RAIDERS.

    Football Manager is the best I've played anyway, and its surely the most influential. Frank 'n' Stein couldn't have been BASIC could it? It looks too professional.

    Speaking of Football Manager, Football Director was also a good Basic written game.

    I would go for Football Manager. There have been loads of football management games since Kevin Toms classic, but I have found them to be over complicated and lacking the sheer addictiveness of the original.

    Tom-Cat, I explicitly said: full emulator.
