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.

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.

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.
