Ah - brilliant..! Exactly what I was after, thanks. I thought I'd seen it somewhere...

I already know which one of these I'm going to vote for...

Dark Star



(Supertramp lyrics I believe).

Woohoo

Am a bit busy today so anyone feel free to jump in

Rygar

"Boffin", lol... Vaguely remember watching a bit of Get Fresh.

15 seconds to play Starglider? It'd take me longer than that to figure out the keys.

All decent games... And a rare poll where I've actually played them all

1. Starquake
2. Wizard's Lair
3. Factory Breakout

Firelord has beautiful presentation but I really couldn't get very far in it (not for want of trying) compared to the others, so misses out on the top 3.

Occasionally I managed to clear a wave so that no more aliens appeared, but couldn't figure out if it was random or happened after I destroying...

I've got no chance..!

Just had a quick go, in case anyone wants to compare scores with someone who isn't superhuman :lol: (MM finisher but not a speed runner) I'm sure some of the routes I take are non-optimal, but they work for me.

Wahay..! Sorry, was busy yesterday so didn't have time to reply to this, but I thought I'd better say something just to bask in the glory of finally having won one of these

Ace quiz as always
