The best classic Speccy game beginning with U: discussion

Post by namco »

Getting near to the end now we're on the letter U.
My suggestions:
Ultimate Warrior

That's all I've got.
Sorry!

Universal Hero
Urban Upstart

Think this one might be a small list with a very obvious winner!

I tried to add something but I guess you mentioned them all :) At least all that are actually worth something.

Will there a Champion of Champions vote at the end where each of the alphabetical winners are listed together?

Good idea.

IIRC we talked about making more polls when we reach Z letter: by genres, by companies, etc

Think anything worth mentioning has been said already, i've checked the list... First i thought Uridium, but Universal Hero got more playtime and i went back to that more often... Looks like i've decided.
I don't have anything cool to put here, so i'll just be off now to see a priest with yeast stuck between his teeth and his friend called Keith who's a hairpiece thief...

The more pointless the endeavour, the higher its artistic merit :D

Me too. I've tried, back then and now, but Uridium never floated my boat. Probably The Untouchables for me.

As i don my protective clothing and prepare for the barrage of abuse I have to say that I always thought Uridium was rubbish!!! I just found it annoying.

I think you're safe! I'm with you on this one, though I still reckon it'll win the vote.

Uridium sounds more like something you'd take on Boxing Day to get the bowels moving...
