Other options are Arkanoid, Amaurote, Alien Highway, and Abadia del Crimen...

Avalon, Alien 8, Ant Attack, ... really difficult to choose one!

I think everyone agree with J: Jet Set Willy.

Yep, and 'H' for 'Head Over Heels'.

Posted: **Wed Dec 13, 2017 4:17 pm**

Ant Attack was technically good, but Atic Atac is the better game.

F for Fairlight.

Gotta get a Joffa one in and H and C are done, so Green Beret. It's was certainly better than Ghosts'n'Goblins.

T for Tomahawk?

I think these all prove I was right with the first one.

Hypersports & Highway Encounter are also good options...

T - Turbo Esprit... or Thrust?!

Z Zub - Mastertronic

Better than Great Escape?

Exolon is definitely the best for E.

Better than Elite and Enduro Racer?

Definitely!

So difficult to pick. R-Type feels like it deserves a place, but that excludes Robocop and Rainbow Islands. I think the only choice I'm not conflicted with is ZZoom and only because I wasn't a fan of Zombie Zombie.

Not sure I could settle for Chaos for C. Chase HQ all the way, Mr Driver.

Common prefixes like "the" and "a" are ignored, so "The New Zealand Story" effectively begins with N, if you see what I mean.
Reason: I've said it all before about being tremendous fun and filled with quirky humour. Manic Miner is a game that, for many, defines the Spectrum. It's possibly the only game that was ported to other machines with more advanced graphical abilities yet still chose to replicate the look of the Spectrum, that speaks volumes.

And I think S needs to be Sir Fred. Controversial, perhaps, but such a great game.

Would anyone argue with Xenon?

A few of you would probably drop the 'n'?

What's wrong with you people, S is clearly Starquake.

I'm starting to think that the best S-game would be...
