Re: The best unplayable demo on a YS/Crash/SU covertape: vote
Voted for Trantor as I remember buying the game, for better or worse, after watching the demo. The only other ones I can remember loading up are Driller, Mean Streak, Virus and WWF Wrestlemania and of those I would have bought WWF anyway as I'm a wrestling fan, while I didn't end up buying the full ...

1. Peking
2. Earth Shaker
3. Haunted House
It was very close between the top two, but I do play Peking more than Earth Shaker.

Batty
Battleships
CJs Elephant Antics - although from what I remember, the second player used to get left behind and get bumped back onto the screen

Re: Manic Miner/Jet Set Willy no longer available
I've just had a quick look at their website and it does look a bit bare. Has Elite possibly gone, or is going into liquidation?

1. Kingdom Of Krell
2. Kick Off
3. Rally Cross
Kingdom Of Krell is a nicely presented, if slightly slow, RPG/Adventure game, Kick Off is OK, while Rally Cross looks good but I found that I crashed quite easily, which had nothing to do with my driving I'm sure

Re: A crap version of...
Harry Price time.... Although pretty much all of his games qualify for this thread, the one that, for me at least, sticks out the most is Crimebusters Inc. Why?

The only one I played BITD was Macadam Bumper and thinking that Pinball Wizard was better. Anyway, I've tried three other games on this list that I can understand how to play and here are my top three: 1. Painting Joe - a decent Amidar clone 2. Macadam Bumper - still not as good as Pinball Wizard 3....

1. Thanatos

3. Harrier Attack
It was a tough choice between Harrier Attack and Scuba Dive for third place, but although Scuba Dive has more, err... depth to it, I find Harrier Attack to be slightly more fun to play.
