The best classic Speccy game beginning with #: discussion

[Mort]

For me it would be 3d Deathchase followed by
180 the best Darts game period.

720° would be my second choice.

I quite enjoyed 720 but couldn't work out for ages why I couldn't score many points when doing tricks etc. Turned out that it was because I was using Cursor/Sinclair controls. As soon as I switched to the standard keys with rotational movement, it was quite easy..

Those bees could get annoying though..

Really enjoyed 3D-Tanx.
And 3D Space-Wars was the first game I ever owned on a Spectrum.

Anyway, why are some '3D...' games listed alphabetically under their subsequent title and not all in one place under '#'?
That and you can't search for '3D' either as the search insists on at least 3 letters. And if you search for '3-D' you get one page of results, then it refuses to let you advance to page 2.

Attention [mention]PeterJ[/mention] - you probably want to fix this: the search box on the front page isn't filtering non-alphanumeric characters correctly. It removes "-" from "3-D" but it doesn't remove "&", "%" or "*" (maybe others too) which appear to be working as wildcards. This means you can bypass the 3 character minimum, and even use "***" which returns most of the zxdb database on a single page!

Thanks [mention]StooB[/mention]

I will fix the ***

Special characters do cause us a bit of a nightmare (checkout previous postings). Sometimes you need them, other times not.
We will review again

PS. In future could you PM things like this? Cheers.

Thanks [mention]Joefish[/mention]. We will check that out.

Most of the obvious wildcard issues have been fixed. You should search with A-Z and 0-9 for the short-term
