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? Well Mastertronic noticed that was such a crap rip off of Spellbound that they actually got it withdrawn from sale. https://spectrumcomputi...

Tried both games, nice presentation and the games are quick. I preferred Cribbage out of the two.

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
2. Turbo Esprit
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.

1. Knight Tyme 128

3. Finders Keepers
Knight Tyme shades it over Stormbringer by way of being able to move the ship and interact with the various planets. As much as I enjoy Finders Keepers I've always found the jumping awkward.

Re: The 20 games with a <= 10% rating from all three major ZX Spectrum magazines
I used to quite like The Boss (I owned the Peaksoft original) although I can understand why a slightly modified version released a few years later would get a poor review. However, I believe that had the original release been reviewed then it wouldn't be on this list. Los Angeles SWAT got awarded 26...

According to the remarks entry, it seems that Super Chopper could be Ocean's unreleased version of Airwulf?
