What is the best graphics to be seen on a speccyI'd like some opinions on that, out of interest. I except loading screens. Tir Nan Og was a landmark for sure, but what bettered it?

I'm keeping it simple: using the wireframe versions as well as the filled-vector versions. I want to keep it slightly retro, because I'm lazy and the 1985 chapter still isn't even [I]close[/I] to being finished yet... -
