Me. It's a tactical vote to ensure that Salamander doesn't win.

If Salamander doesn't win I will consider you the sole culprit.

Never expected more votes for Saboteur II than the original!

And I never thought Savage would only get two votes.

Nor me. The original's a classic but the sequel's a bit naff IMO. The movement/animation is so slow and laboured it's almost like it's written in BASIC.

Glad to see someone else agreed with my Splitting Images vote though :D

It was me who gave it the 2nd vote, but it looks like the original voter has changed his mind.

I guess he just didn't want the game to have no votes, and seeing another support for it, has decided to favor another non voted one. I can understand that feeling, for I almost voted for Sacred Armour of Antiriad (now with 1 vote), Silkworm of Skate Crazy, but in the end I decided to go for the one I liked the most.

So, Salamander's lost. R-Tape will have to pay for it.

Glad Skool Daze got it. I remember not voting for Back to Skool on the premise that it would get its due the 'S' vote.

Of course: until you're able to finish it without cheating.

In the long run, those two will be the ones hailed as the real classics.

It's time for the tradition of 'the reminding of the Prodge' :mrgreen:

[mention]PeteProdge[/mention]: have you got time to move on to 'T', or do you want a break for a few letters?

Yeah, only 6 more letters to go..!

(no need to do 'Z', I doubt there's anything decent in there)

And Zythum, by Mirrorsoft.
