Timmy's Flappy Bird is playable, but I'd say the one to include is Ralf's.

^It's a great example of someone sitting down, thinking about every box that a Flappy Bird conversion should tick, and then damn well ticking it.

Original and eccentric, as you'd expect from this author.

3 very polished games from Bob:
Farmer Jack - Treasure Trove
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=21583
Farmer Jack and the Hedge Monkeys!
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=18873
Farmer Jack in Harvest Havoc!
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=16793

A nice beatemup from Retrobytes. Somehow cute and gritty at the same time.
Fist-RO Fighter
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=30272

A flipping good AGD game:
Flype

Not the most fun to play, but a visual treat, and a sign of even better games to come:
Foggy's Quest
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=30370

It looks like an average run around and collect maze game, but it's a lot more than that.
Forest Raider Cherry
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=25408

A polished game, at least worth mentioning for the clandestine April Fool's way it was anonymously uploaded to WoS back then:
Freddie Laker's Airline Capers
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=27482

A very good, honest Cybernoid clone.
Future Looter
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=27279

I still need to decide, but I think my vote will go to either Forest Raider Cherry or Flappy Bird ZX.

Only game worth mentioning. Modern speccy games are just too late to the party, we have PS4s now you know!
I don't have anything cool to put here, so i'll just be off now to see a priest with yeast stuck between his teeth and his friend called Keith who's a hairpiece thief...
