Re: The best modern Speccy game beginning with O: vote
Voted for On Reflection. An inspired and original text adventure, well realised. In terms of size and difficulty it's a bit too much for me to complete, but that's more to do with my shortcomings as a player.
The rest are tricky to choose between.
1 - On Reflection
2 - Ooze
3 - Ossuary
It feels wrong not to vote for Old Tower, but as good as it is, I think it lacks personality compared to Denis's other games. Ooze is simply very polished and fun, and there is something quintessentially spectrum about Ossuary.

Oddy the Viking for me. One of the few (it not the only) modern game that I've finished.
Re: The best modern Speccy game beginning with O: vote
1. On Reflection - one of my favourite Speccy text adventures from recent years
2. Old Tower - typically class game from RetroSouls
3. Ossuary - a simple game but strangely compelling

1 Octukitty
2 Oddi The Viking
3 Omelettes for Breakfast
Operation Red Refrigerator looks like the sort of game I would really enjoy but there's no English language version that I'm aware of.

Ossuary is really interesting game. It looks like a roguelike and it borrows a little from the genre. Still, its inner mechanics are much more simplier. Your avatar has three skills and hitpoints. In the dungeon, you attack various monster that may drop items. These are either consumables restoring your hitpoints or wearable items that affect your skill. And you can save an item for later use in your inventory. It is really a proto-rpg and and not bad one. It offers interesting gameplay and for 16K title, it has very good presentation. On the bad side I see little unused screen. Everything in game happens on same screen and I would like to see more informations on screen than a single line for menu a item description.

1: Old Tower - Tough when it is first played, but once the levels have been mastered it can be completed upon every load. I still pop back every week or so for a quick zip around the colourful scrolling levels and listen to the funky music. I know one level annoys me as it grabs a few lives.
2: Order Of Mazes - A great exploration game with a bit of brain thinking thrown in.

Re: The best modern Speccy game beginning with O: vote
Surprised to see Ooze getting so few votes... it is probably one of the best AGD games of all times
Re: The best modern Speccy game beginning with O: vote
O is such a strong field that I think the 1,2,3 vote is a lot more meaningful that the single choice one. Speaking of which, what's yours Ivan?

Old Tower, for its playability.
It’s one of those games that make time go by.

Re: The best modern Speccy game beginning with O: vote
Old Tower is a fair winner: multicolour, multicolour scroller!, fun.
What am I missing with Oddi the Viking? I've just fired it up and the controls are painfully unresponsive. Is it a custom isometric engine? Bonus points if so, but it doesn't seem playable.

Re: The best modern Speccy game beginning with O: vote
I don't remember having those problems. Unlike the isometric style, it's a surprising good puzzle game, similar to Sokoban or others.
