Yeah, this is pick your favourite child.... Jim choosing either Pam Beasley (Jenna Fischer) or Katy Moore (Amy Adams).... Knight Lore or Alien 8.... Scampi or nice n spicey Nik Naks. Portal or Portal 2..... You want both. in this case, all of them to win.

Most of these games win joint 1st place on the podium. Even when I've already completed many of these games I will give them another play due to how great the games are. It is a tough tough choice to pick one.

Arc of Yesod - after Nodes, I was hoping that this was going to be a different game, but no, it was just change the graphics, map, artwork and slap it on a cassette. 128k version had some music and speech. ICCUPS - waited for ages for this to appear, bought it full price. Disappointed yes but played...
