It's a pretty good line-up, really. Some of these polls, I struggle to make a top 3 but I could probably do...oh, at least a credible top 5 from these. 180 at the top of course; it's a bit easy, but is such a great game to play even now that it has to be in first place.
1. 180
2. Spellbound
3. Knight Tyme

Never played Motos, but I need to try it some time.
I always thought Knight Tyme was the best of the Magic Knight games.
The maze levels of Plexar were brilliant, with having to swap floor-to-ceiling to solve them. Unfortunately your movement was so sluggish in the rolling levels that they were completely unplayable.
And Terminus was a great game, apart from the pointless and stupidly unplayable bouncing-ball at the end of the character roster. You just had to play as if you only had 3 lives, not 4.

Special mention to Stormbringer for that 128K tune though. Still think it's one of the best 8-bit chip-tunes of all time - right up there with C64's Monty On The Run.

Re: The best Speccy game by Mastertronic Added Dimension: vote
180 gets a win here, just as it did in the Best classic Speccy game beginning with # poll, and deservedly so. Best darts game over on the platform, I'd say. 8 votes secured that spot.
Amaurote got a close second, with 7 votes. (I'd have thought the incredible Zub would have been in with a shout, but no).
One of the Magic Knight trilogy (er, alright, quadrilogy) gets third place, as Spellbound has 3 votes. That won't be the last of Magic Knight, as...
...Knight Tyme is at joint fourth place, alongside Zub. 3 votes each.
Terminus is placed fifth, with 2 votes.
Jointly in sixth place with 1 vote each: Master Of Magic; Motos; Play It Again, Sam and Droids.
On the proportional voting system...
180 16
Spellbound 7
Zub 6
Knight Tyme 5
Amaurote 3
Master Of Magic 3
Motos 2
Stormbringer 2
Angle Ball 1
