Quadrax for me. Great platformer puzzly game. The graphics are simple, but atmospheric, and the sprite animations are fantastic. I didn't realise it was released so long ago (1994).

I remember the inlay for this being flagged in a 'worst inlay art' thread somewhere. I actually quite like it! Though one might say it's 'of its time'.

Oh yes, the proportional vote. I forgot Prodge sneaking in the electoral reform, tsk - he'll be wanting rid of the royal family next:

1 - Quadrax
2 - The Queen's Footsteps
3 - Qbox

I feel like I'm doing Quantum Gardening a disservice. Interesting idea, but I just never got into it.

how come nobody loves the best game of the decade (and maybe of all times), Quantum Gardening?!

Thumbs up on Quadrax. I'm a bit surprised by the proportional vote. It normally gets it spot on, so I guess that means I have to give Quest for Witchcraft a bit more attention.

I was temped to give it a vote. It's an interesting mix of ideas, but I have to say that I didn't actually enjoy playing it that much.
