I don’t know. I kind of like Komplex more than Komplex City. Decent was pretty awesome, though.

Surprised how crap is The Great Space Race just by reading the posts. I knew it but I've never played it.

Well, to nobody's surprise, Valhalla's got this. That's an understatement, like 80% of the vote share, which I think might be the highest in any of my forum polls ever. 20 votes easily secures the winning spot for Valhalla, no question.

A distant second is Komplex, with 4 votes.

Then in third place, yes, seriously, somebody actually voted for the, um, disappointment that is The Great Space Race. I don't get that, but hey, it's democracy and there are a few rubbish Speccy games I really love, I guess we all have our own list.

We'll all pretend that I didn't actually list released-decades-after-Legend-collapsed Komplex City, right? It kind of, sort of, ish... counts, in a way, but erm... still not too sure. It's gained zero votes in the phpBB forum poll so I don't have to worry too much.

Over on the proportionals, only one person has voted, so it's entirely down to @Nick's opinion, which still supports the phpBB forum poll's winner...

Valhalla 3
Komplex City 2
Komplex 1
