The best Speccy game by CDS Microsystems: vote

[Nick]

Ooooh, boy. Out of all the weeks where the mythical Steve Davis Snooker 128K could be brought up again, it happens when the fantasist behind it, is the major target of (very justifiable) anger.

Steve Davis Snooker 128K does not exist. It has never existed. It was the invention of 'Mr Kizza' aka Kieren Hawken, probably better known as the 'Laird' of Laird's Lair. Years ago, he wrote on the AtariAge forum that he wrote this game for the ZX Spectrum, along with some budget titles. Some huge huge stuff has kicked off this week about him. I know this forum likes to avoid drama, so all I can say, is take a look elsewhere for what Kieren has been up to!

Ah, I did joke on Twitter this week that we'd never genuinely see Steve Davis Snooker 128K on the Speccy!

Does that mean that I won't be able to vote on a best game by Kieren Hawken poll then? I was looking forward to that one!

Wow, this seems to be a battleground for those who like pool or snooker!

On the main (phpBB) forum poll, the winner is Pool, with 6 votes.

Closely followed behind, it's Steve Davis Snooker (no, not the mythical 128K version), with 5 votes.

In third place, Colossus Chess 4, with 3 votes.

Joint fourth place: 3D Painter and Gobble A Ghost, 2 votes each.

Joint fifth place: Brian Clough's Football Fortunes; Catterpillar; Leapfrog and Time Bomb.

Over on the proportional top-three votes from the comment, we have a different indoor sport at the top position - that's Steve Davis Snooker! Pool is in second place...

Steve Davis Snooker 8
Pool 5
Winged Warlords 5
Brian Clough's Football Fortunes 3
Gobble A Ghost 3
