Re: The best Speccy game by The Edge: vote
I'll kick this off with a vote for Bobby Bearing. Fairlight never impressed me that much. But as Pete says, pretty much already a foregone conclusion I expect.
Re: The best Speccy game by The Edge: vote
Fairlight! Fairlight! Fairlight! Blew me away when I saw it being played in Software City in Wolverhampton and I still think it a thing of beauty.
Saying the I did like Brian Bloodaxe,
1-Fairlight
2-Brian Bloodaxe
3-Bobby Bearing

Not to take anything away from Fairlight, but I loved both B.B. games.

Re: The best Speccy game by The Edge: vote
Didn't' fairlight have a bug in it that prevented it from being finished (or was that fairlight 2)...Something to do with not being able to get a key to unlock a door so something?
I went for Bobby Bearing.

Re: The best Speccy game by The Edge: vote
My vote went straight to Fairlight, but it's a close contest for 2nd and 3rd between quite a few games so I might mull it over for a while...
I would have probably slotted Fairlight II into 2nd or 3rd if (as beanz mentioned) you could actually bloomin' finish the thing...

Re: The best Speccy game by The Edge: vote
I think it was Fairlight 2. The Edge released it early, going against the author's wishes.
(I'm no expert though, I've only ever played the first one, for about 15 minutes.)
EDIT: I was right! Here's Bo in his own words, answering what improvements were brought in the Fairlight sequel...
"Not much, it was made bigger with a few new monsters and items. Unfortunately it was never quite finished since the publisher tried to force me to sign a new contract by with holding money that I was due. Needless to say I told them to stuff it. At that point the game was in beta but they decided to publish it anyway. The whole issue ended up in the court system, and dragged on for a year, so most of the money I got ended up lining the pockets of lawyers."

Bobby Bearing doesn't seem to go anywhere to me.

Didn't exactly need a crystal ball to predict Fairlight was gonna smash it. It wins with 20 votes, a landslide majority.
In a distant second place, with 4 votes, is Bobby Bearing.
In joint third place, with 3 votes each: Brian Bloodaxe, Garfield - Big, Fat, Hairy Deal and Shao-Lin's road.
Fourth place goes to Snoopy, 2 votes.
Joint fifth place, 1 vote each: Psi Chess and Psytraxx.
Over on the proportional top-three voting system...
Fairlight 16
Brian Bloodaxe 12
Garfield - Big, Fat, Hairy Deal 8
Bobby Bearing 7
Shao-Lin's Road 7
Snoopy 5
That's The Spirit 4
Fairlight II 1
