Somebody's voted for Martianoids.
Now, yeah, this is a democratic vote and all that, but I never envisaged THAT happening!

Voted for Jetpac in the end. A good, simple and very addictive shooter.

Re: The best Speccy game by Ultimate: vote
Looks quite a close contest between Atic Atac and Jetpac so far.
A few years ago I might have voted for Jetpac, as it's pure arcade class. I guess one criticism voiced over the years is that changing/randomising the platform placement might have increased the variety a bit. And of course a hover button, that'd be ace..
I only remember playing Atic Atac after Sabre Wulf, and it took a while for me to appreciate it fully. 3 playable characters, each with different momentum/inertia. One map but 3 variations of how you can traverse it depending on your character choice. A decent amount of time to react to enemies spawning on top of you (I felt that Sabre Wulf compensated with lots of extra lives dotted around). And finally a 3D map with distinguishable floors which means you don't have to think about a map, you learn your way around after a few goes. The only criticism I really have is that the objects are fairly redundant, with your object carry limit it's all about the keys. But otherwise a game I can keep coming back to, and that you can finish in any time between 5 minutes or 2 hours.

Haha, yeah, it's the same for me too.
Atic Atac was also my own choice, for the exact same reasons that you mention.

I'm pretty sure that winking smiley of ihs means "I know there is a hover button, but people always wish there was one, without knowing it's already there"

Yeah, couldn't resist...
It's been mentioned quite a few times over the years in various Speccy discussions and each time there's been someone who's surprised by it (including me...)

Re: The best Speccy game by Ultimate: vote
What impressed me a lot about Atic Atac was when I watched a walkthrough of it on YouTube, it was only two or three minutes long!!!
I've been always wandering around with no much success, supposing it had to be solved in much more time...

Yeah many games can actually be finished in just a few minutes, I'm always shocked when I see the videos.Juan F. Ramirez wrote: ↑Wed Jul 03, 2019 1:48 pm What impressed me a lot about Atic Atac was when I watched a walkthrough of it on YouTube, it was only two or three minutes long!!!
That happened to me in particular with Sir Fred, I feel like I spent hours and hours there without ever getting close to the end and then I see a video and it's like 7 minutes long in total.

I don't care really, all 3 are deserved.
