Blast. Another vote missed for Bean Brothers...
I know you are just teasing me to reveal my vote but I will bite the bullet anyway.

There are many great games in this poll, but I believe Buzzsaw+ stands high above the others. Ask someone to name the top 3 groundbreaking games in Spectrum history, and there's a reasonable chance the answer will be Manic Miner, Knight Lore, and Buzzsaw+.

I think it's not fair that Manic Miner (or JSW) looks outdated now but still wins polls due to nostalgia, while Buzzsaw+ still remains up-to-date in comparison to posterior multicolor titles but didn't win this poll.

Perhaps it's not so easy to remember how much impressive Buzzsaw+ looked at the time, because high quality multicolor titles became commonplace nowadays. However most of these other titles wouldn't exist without Buzzsaw+. In particular, Buzzsaw+ was the title that convinced me it was worth it to invest my time to develop multicolor engines.
