Not sure how I missed this vote. I would've voted for Lords of Midnight.
2 player Spy Vs Spy is great fun though.

I wonder - why is LoM considered to be better game than DR ? They seem very similar to each other.

What I'm most shocked about are the two votes for Spellbound and it getting more votes than Doomdark. Q*Bert games, other than Pogo, are pretty dire on the Speccy and Spellbound is a particularly poor version. Unless they thought it was MADs Spellbound 😄

Each to their own though, I've undoubtedly voted for some shockers!

I could never really get into Doomdark's Revenge. They tried to complicate it too much. The Lord's would be wandering around so you never knew where to find them and it just wasn't as accessible for me.

I voted for Doomdark's Revenge (I think - can't remember now.. :lol:) mainly because I played it before LoM.

Never got to grips with Spy vs Spy - surprising how well it's done in the poll.

Fair enough.
