I don't have anything cool to put here, so i'll just be off now to see a priest with yeast stuck between his teeth and his friend called Keith who's a hairpiece thief...

I love the Rommel's Revenge loading screen.
Wonder why those bright magenta tanks weren't more popular?

They are! You've just not seen any because that camouflage works so well.

Halls of the things/Rommels Revenge were equal in my mind. I did vote for one of them though!

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
