Many thanks to those who nominate for these things, I'm personally baffled (but impressed) that new Spectrum games come out here in the 21st century, with our hoverboards and silver spacesuits.
A few times in the past I've been privately warned about the somewhat visually provocative content of some modern games (a few from Mojon Twins). Anyway, despite the absolutely massively long list of games last time (the 'M' poll), that was all cool, but here in 'N', I've had to go for a bit of censorship. Admittedly, I personally don't find anything worrying about the original images, it's not exactly hardcore XXX, more along the lines of any photos in a lingerie catalogue. Well, I am playing it safe, so I've decided to shove in a few rectangles of a non-ZX-Spectrum-but-very-Commodore-64 colour, beige (or brown or whatever). Maybe I'm drawing MORE attention to the 'rudeness' through this than if I had let them go out...
Oh, and it's a pleasure to attribute one of these games to a massively famous household name of the media industry, which was founded in 1997. Yes, Netflix is genuinely a publisher of a ZX Spectrum game in 2018. I've also attributed the fictional publisher.
Anyway, this is a 14-day poll, concluding around 3:30pm UK time Sunday 8th March 2020...

Nozhdyve may be a simple game, but backstory counts in my book. Simple concept, well made, and very addictive to play.
I didn't get to play it much when it first came out, but Ninjajar is wayy more than your average churro (with which there is nothing wrong). It's a big game with a lot of personality.
Ninja Gaiden. A very sexy game made by a AAA production team.
Nemokay is well worth a look for the fun factor.

Chortle! Yessss.

Re: The best modern Speccy game beginning with N: vote
I must admit, I see those Nanako loading screens come up from the Mojon Twins and think 'There's no need for that'.
I mean, there are attractive women in all sorts of advertising and video games, but there's no need for explicit images representing games with such fiddly little sprites. At least if it was a strip poker game the image might be relevant!

3. Nixy The Glade Spirit
By the way Pete, thanks for taking the time out to run these polls. You've introduced me to some really good games that I wouldn't have otherwise tried. I hope that the person who complained longest and loudest about only having a week to vote actually votes now that there is a two week window.

In joint third place, 2 votes each: Nixy The Glade Sprite and Nohzdyve.
