The best modern Speccy game beginning with J: discussion

Post by PeteProdge »

Right, as I always say, I know almost nothing about the homebrew scene, so this is where you have seven days to nominate titles of modern ZX Spectrum games (this time beginning with J), and then I run a week-long poll here starting from next week.

Away you go!

There are a host of JSW mods, maybe they could have their own poll first and the winner, or winners if there's a tie could then go into the main J section?

No. While I see the games are very much going to have a similar style of play, it's all about the letter they begin with. The polls have always been like that, and by their nature, have covered a lot of incredibly diverse genres and often contained more than their fair share of a particular genre in cases where there is inclusion for "[game name]"; "[game name] 2"; "[game name] 3", etc.

I can only add one to Daren's list: Journey to another world. JBGV at his funny, quirky and clunky best.

Not sure what I'll vote yet, but it'll most likely be one of these: Justin, Janosik, JINJ and Journey to another world.
