Deathchase for me. Highly addictive and a true classic.

Other faves of mine are 1942 and 911TS

Naturally, it’s Zythum (by Mirrorsoft).
Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.

Regardless of whether it's a viable option in the vote or not, my spiritual vote goes to Zythum, by Mirrorsoft.

But my physical vote goes to 4 minute warning.

Yeah, I'm getting sick of Deathchase winning everything... ;)

I voted for 3D Tanx.

Simple game that starts off slow but gets quite frantic. Much fun.

This was actually tougher than I thought. 3D Luna Crabs was the game that I got bundled with my speccy, so it does have a special place in speccy history for me. 180 is a brilliant game, but, let's be honest 3D Deathchase is an all time classic.

Ah yes, so it did... viewtopic.php?f=21&t=382

So why has it re-appeared in this poll? Can't be in more than one, so, I guess 180 is actually the true winner right now.

Best we can do is declare the A-Z votes null and void, and start the voting again from 'A'...

It was mentioned multiple times but not enough against. So I put it in. But by the looks of things 180 is doing quite well.

"3D Deathchase" does not exist - it's not even an alternate title. Neither does "3D Lunar Crabs" for that matter.

I'm not really sure 3D Construction Kit is actually a game, but I loved it and so I'm going to vote for it. Deathchase was honestly a bit overrated, albeit fun enough. The rest of them don't really resonate much with me.

I think the great merit of Deathchase is that it's technically impressive being a game from 1983 and with only 16k.

And it's also bloody addictive too.

Well, I had expected this to be the end of the experiment (nearly two years!), but we've still not reached a proper 'W' result.

What I intend to do, is run yet another W result between Way Of The Exploding Fist and Where Time Stood Still (I never voted that time round, and I've only played one of those games, I guess I could be the deciding vote). And probably do this # vote again so we're free of Deathchase and the two 3D game makers.

Honestly, it's not because I'm wanting 180 to win at all costs.

It's going to be a meaningful vote. And I will unite the Speccyverse, there's absolutely no way this can go wrong...

Much simpler: As Deathchase won the D poll, if it finally gets first place, the winner would be which get the second place.

I am appalled at this shocking attack against the democracy of this forum. We must go with the results of the poll.

Specchums. We must face the truth—the proponents of 3D Deathchase lied to us all. They blustered in without a plan, and have made us all vote for a game that doesn't even exist.

There's only one way out of this mess—put it to the people.

I think the fairest thing would be to start the poll again without Deathchase. Saying that though 180 will probably win the second place vote as it is AND win it outright if the poll was started again :lol:

I think that link was just a scam by R-Tape to get your bank account details. Hope you didn't enter them.
