Re: What, in your eyes, is the worst games software house?

Re: What, in your eyes, is the worst games software house?

I'm looking for something that's the opposite of Ultimate Play The Game. In my mind, I think I can point to The Power House and TyneSoft as notorious proprietors of dismal digital garbage.

Re: The best Speccy game by 8th Day Software: discussion

I'd like to think it's a nod to the Beatles 8 Days a Week.

Re: Longest wait between Speccy sequels?

There was a 6 year gap between Football Manager and Football Manager 2. Probably because the original was still selling loads of copies years after it's release.
And let's not forget we're still waiting for a sequel to Target Renegade.
