Anyway, it's been a hard choice this time as Hewson is one of the great companies!
Very stunned at Cybernoid II getting utterly nothing in both voting systems. Come on, it was ace!

This is the real problem here though, innit? There were soooooo many fantastic games (Cybernoid 1+2 being amongst my favourites) from Hewson that even with a personal top 3 you couldn't choose between them all.

Would have been better off with a poll for the worst, tbh. You could narrow that down more easily.

If it's any consolation its programmer came out equal first when tallying the points for their games:

Raffaele Cecco: 10 points (5 Cybernoid, 4 Exolon, 1 Stormlord 2)
Steve Turner: 10 points (2 Dragontorc, 7 Quazatron, 1 Ranarama)
John M Phillips: 9 points (9 Nebulus)
Dominic Robinson: 3 points (Zynaps)
Steve Marsden/Dave Cooke: 3 points (2 Technician Ted), (1 Technician Ted Remix)
Stephen Crowe: 2 points (2 Firelord)
John Hardman: 1 point (1 Maze Chase)

That's a list of some mighty Speccy developers! Maybe an idea for another type of poll?

Quite right ;)

I was away this week and missed the vote (i.e. forgot), but would have gone for:

1. Avalon
2. Dragontorc
3. Quazatron

I didn't think any of those would win (thought it might be Zynaps) but was slightly surprised Nebulus won, just because I didn't really enjoy playing it all that much. But I guess a lot of people rate it. I remember playing Lumo, which had a Nebulus mini-game tribute in one section.
