Spectrum Computing

AKA the one where Deathchase will storm it.

Micromega published a lot of simple casino and puzzle games, but they did have some pretty neat efforts, more than a few by Derek Brewster.

They also developed a lot of educational software for Longman, but we're not concentrating on that, we're after ZX Spectrum games published under the Micromega brand and here are all 17 of them..

3. Haunted Hedges (I was young, ok?)


I always found Jasper so damned hard, but loved it. Actually one that I played because of the glowing Crash! review. I wanted to love it as much as they did, so I did. Aren't kids weird?

2 Jasper
3 A Day In The Life

1. Deathchase
2. Full Throttle
3. Jasper!

As much as I wanted to vote for Luna Crabs, as it was the first game I ever bought and played on my first speccy, I've gone for Deathcahse because it's just so damn good.

1 - Deathchase
2 - Luna Crabs
3 - Full Throttle

1. Deathchase
2. A Day In The Life
3. Kentilla

If the collision detection on ADITL was a little bit better then I would have placed it above Deathchase.

Death Chase
Full Throttle

erm... never tried any of the others

2. A Day in The Life

I've gone for Full Throttle, I thought it was a really good racing simulation for its time. And Deathchase doesn't really need any more votes.

1. Full Throttle
2. Jasper!
3. Deathchase

Of course we all know Dominoes is going to romp this..

..I'm going with Juan and Vampyre on this one:

1. Deathchase
2. Full Throttle
3. Jasper

Unsurprisingly, the winner here by a long way, is Deathchase, with 70% of the vote share - 23 votes!

A Day In The Life is a distant second, with 6 votes.

Full Throttle is fourth, 3 votes.

Puzzler is fifth, 1 vote.

Proportionally, Deathchase still storms it, but the rest of the nominations are quite different...

Deathchase 25
Jasper! 11
Full Throttle 10
Day In The Life, A 8
Kentilla 2
Luna Crabs 2
Braxx Bluff 1
Haunted Hedges 1

Exciting polls till the end, that's the kind of polls I love!
