Ah, I should clarify - we're talking about games released in the Speccy's post-commercial period, so homebrew stuff after mid-1993 really.

We did cover 'D' games from the commercial era in a poll, both games you mention were up for votes. Deathchase won it - see the results here.

Deep Core Raider https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=30282
Dead Flesh Boy https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=30206
Descending Dungeons https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=30264
Double Bubble https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=30294
DreamWalker 2 https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=30084

I guess DreamWalker will be the shoe-in, but my vote may go to any of these.

Me neither, but it's the first that came to my mind. Love the original Death Pith and the walkthrough of the sequel (in RZX archive) shows a very interesting game. I love it too.

Oops, my fault. In fact "modern Speccy game" says everything.
Thanks for clarifying me :)

Was this actually released as a full game? I thought it's just a demo version that's available?

That's a shame as it looked like a decent game from the screenshot.
