That 3 Weeks in Paradise loading screen wouldn't fly today would it? Put my vote in with Pyjamarama, but enjoyed all the Wally games. Does anyone remember the tape for Everyones a Wally with the song on it by Mike Berry and Wendy Richards?

Yes I remember the tape, I still have it I think , from BITD

This topic/poll is very difficult indeed to decide on which is the 'best' as (personally) I could pick at least three ... so slightly reluctantly I'm forced to pick the 'first one I purchased' to decide from the "top three that I cannot pick between" , that being the same one you voted for actually.

Voted for Pyjamarama. The other games in the series are very good, but this was the first, original one. A great adventure. Apart from the Wally games, Equinox & Frost Byte are good games as well.

My points go to:

1 - Pyjamarama
2 - Everyone's a Wally
3 - Herbert's Dummy Run

I’ve gone for Automania as it was another game that we used to play at my mates house during lunch break whilst eating cheese and branston sandwiches

1 - Automania
2 - Pyjamarama
3 - Everyone’s a wally

1 Everyone's A Wally
2 Three Weeks In Paradise
3 Pyjamarama

1 Space Zombies
2 Scramble
3 Defendar

I also love panic (I'm a huge fan of the arcade game) and this is a very good conversion.

1. Pyjamarama
2. Three Weeks in Paradise
3. Herbert's Dummy Run

1. Pyjamarama
2. Everyone's a Wally
3. Frost Byte

I'll add my top 3 here:

1. Pyjamarama
2. Everyone's a Wally
3. Automania

Also, I remember being so impressed at the time that Pyjamarama had a mini space invaders clone within it - a game within a game!

1 - Frost Byte
2 - Equinox
3 - Stainless Steel

Never been a big Wally fan (to be honest, back in the day I only knew Three Weeks in Paradise).

1 Everyone's a Wally
2 Three Weeks in Paradise
3 Pyjamarama

1. Three Weeks In Paradise
2. Everyone's A Wally
3. The Witch's Cauldron

Three Weeks in Paradise doing very well.

Am genuinely interested to know what draws people to vote for it over Pyjamarama and Everyone's a Wally.

(Not that I'd argue with any of the Wally games winning the poll though )

I'm guessing it's because they enjoy it more!
Hope that helps Morkin.

Perfect, thanks...

3 weeks for sure. Pyjamarama a very very close 2nd and Equinox. I never much liked Herberts and Everyones a Wally.

3 Weeks had a few more solvable puzzles near the beginning and less barriers nearer the start of the game that allowed it to engage you more or quicker. I never really knew what to do in EveryonesAW, with more obscure puzzles, or Herberts which as i recall had too many deadly obstacles from the get-go for me.

3 Weeks and Pyjamarama are the only 2 of this series i ever completed. Pyjamarama was ground breaking in some ways, 3 weeks just polished it even more and had a better premise.

There you have it, Three Weeks In Paradise takes the crown, with 9 votes.

Pyjamarama is very close behind, with 8 votes.

Third place goes to Everyone's A Wally, 4 votes.

That's the top three dominated by Wally Week games, will it continue to the fourth place? Nope. That's Equinox, 3 votes.

Frost Byte is fifth, 2 votes.

Another Wally Week game, Automania, is one of the sixth-placed games, who gained 1 vote each. In full, that's Automania; Space Zombies and Tempest.

The only Wally Week game not to get any votes in the forum's poll, is Herbert's Dummy Run.

The proportional top three voting results have a pretty different order!..

Pyjamarama 19
Everyone's A Wally 17
Three Weeks In Paradise 9
Automania 4
Frost Byte 4
Herbert's Dummy Run 3
Space Zombies 3
Equinox 2
Scramble 2
Defendar 1
Stainless Steel 1
Witch's Cauldron, The 1
