The best classic Speccy game beginning with V: vote
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with V: vote
Voted for Voyage into Uknown because it makes all the other games look great.
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with V: vote
Went for Valhalla. Was quite a clever game BITD even though I hadn't a clue what I was doing. I think the only thing I ever did of consequence was to enter a swear word and get the "Mary is not amused" response and get my character beat up.
Never properly played many of the others in the list although, from the reviews, I was always intrigued by Vera Cruz but never got around to it.
I did try and play Vectron a couple of times but that was just bewildering. Playing it reminded of that Jasper Carrott story about him visiting an amusement arcade.

I never expected Valhalla it would lead the poll!
I never played it. I think never it's too late to try it...

I think V has been the crappiest letter so far?
Tim Follin's tune grabs my vote for Vectron.

I almost voted for Valhalla but went for Valkyrie 17 in the end. I love a bit of espionage.

I'm surprised not to see Video Olimpic with its Cocaina ads
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with V: vote
I voted Victory* Road.
Even though the concept has more than a touch of Renegade 3 about it, the game itself is very solid; it even adds a few features that aren't in Ikari Warriors. So even though it's a bit of a lazy cash-in, it's possibly the most polished and enjoyable games to play in this list.
Having said that, I actually want Viking Raiders or Valhalla to win. They're original and have the Spiwit of the Spectrum.
*(And remember, you don't pronounce it "Vik-Tor-Ree", it's "Veek-turrr-ihhh")

I stuck to the game that I nominated, The Very Big Cave Adventure, although I did think about registering about 15 different accounts on here just so that I could vote for Voyage Into The Unknown every time.
I've never played Valhalla so, based on how many votes it has, I might just give it a go.

Am trying to remember if I've actually played Viking Raiders. Not sure I have.

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with V: vote
Are you saying that—unlike everyone else—you haven't done a full appraisal of every single game in the list before voting?
I was totally objective before the 'M' vote for example, I had no idea what I was going to vote for beforehand...
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with V: vote
I've based all my votes only on the games i played all those years ago and whichever got the most playtime from me, or brought back the most vivid memories. For those letters than presented multiple voting possibilites for me i chose the game that i thought i would also most like to re-visit and play today. Quazatron i can go back to forever, Frank N Stein was so good, Chuckie Egg (even Chuckie Egg2), i can still play these today and love them...
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...

Vectron for me.
Nice border effect on the main screen and brilliant introductory music are just a bonus for this great game.

OK, so how many of the 2 voters for Vixen were swayed by the poster...
