You've got the wrong screenshot for Spore! It wasn't a text adventure, but a rather spiffy shoot em up. Well, on the C64 it was. It was a bit rubbish on the Spectrum.

Gah, you're right! I hate it when there are more than one game that has the same name.toot_toot wrote: ↑Mon Oct 21, 2019 9:52 pm You've got the wrong screenshot for Spore! It wasn't a text adventure, but a rather spiffy shoot em up. Well, on the C64 it was. It was a bit rubbish on the Spectrum.

Anyways, this is what Bulldog's Spore looks like...

1. Streaker
2. Feud
3. Scumball
As good as Feud is, you do tend to spend a lot of the time wandering around in circles, a bit like Robin O' The Wood in that respect.

Ditto. Sorry to say, i hated Feud.
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...

Re: The best Speccy game by Bulldog Software: vote
As is completely right, Feud wins this poll, with a landslide victory - 12 votes. It truly is an fantastic and underrated game. Everything else in the forum poll is far behind, but hey, moving on...
Second place with 3 votes is Colony. (Press BREAK on the menu screen to turn your ZX Spectrum into a terrible computer, btw.)
In joint third place, Scumball and Streaker (the former has some wonderful 50fps movement), each with 2 votes.
Joint fourth place with 1 vote each: Jackle & Wide; Spore and Wolfan.
Proportional top-three system brings up slightly different results...
Feud 7
Streaker 6
Destructo 3
Scumball 1
Wolfan 1

I missed this one but would have voted for Colony.
Feud always felt a bit 'style over substance' to me. One of the emptiest games ever.

Fued and Jackle & Wide were the only two games I owned from Bulldog software. Have to confess that I have no recollection of Jackle & Wide. Played Fued quite a lot but never got anywhere with it. Have been surprised to read in the last couple of years that it was apparently a really easy game! As a kid I just couldn't fathom it at all.

I owned Destructo which had very little depth and Jackle & Wide which didn't hold my attention at all.

Feud is a legend. Colony is fun... but after a while it does seem a bit pointless. Invasion is VERY slow. Jackle and Wide irritated me, so I've been trying to get people to stream it. Wolfan! I once got moderately far with it. GIVE ME LAGER OR GIVE ME DEATH. It was fun!
Bulldog was a good brand.
Never got very far at all with Shard of Inovar, but it was clearly trying, bless it.
