It seems that Crystal computings USP is a blue/black screen describing, very clearly, horrible key choices!

Yep I couldn't let Cyberzone get just one vote. Also, thanks to this poll, I've learnt that Bug Blaster was the author's precursor to it*.

1 - Cyber Zone. Bonkers. Hard to imagine on another system. Quite good fun.
2 - Halls of the things. I never got into this, but I know enough about it to feel it should be 'up there'.

I nearly put "Wooluf" at #3, but I can only choose 1 & 2 really. Hand on heart, I'm not able to say this UDG sheep herding game beats Rommel's Revenge or the two text adventures.

*actually both 1983, but it's a fair guess to say that BB came first.

Halls Of The Things has, unsurprisingly, won this, with 9 votes.

In a distant joint second place, we have Invasion Of The Body Snatchas! and Rommel's Revenge, with 3 votes each.

Joint third place, with 2 votes each: Cyber Zone and It's The Wolluf!

Finally, the joint fifth place, 1 vote each: Bug Blaster and The Island.

Over on the proportional votes...

Halls Of The Things 7
It's The Wooluf! 7
Invasions Of The Body Snatchas! 6
Cyber Zone 3
The Dungeon Master 1
