The best Speccy game by Campbell Systems: vote

Well, this is a binary decision, obviously.

7 days - is Gulpman the best Speccy effort from Campbell Systems or is it Loco?

Voted for Gulpman, Loco's OK but the apple munching stickman shades it for me.

Loco is cleverer but at least I can complete a Gulpman screen

I quite like their soups, but they are a bit of a faff.

At least their games are warming and nutritious...

Oh hell, I think I just became a 'Loco' addict!
That's quite a puzzle, like a flat Rubik's Cube! I thought it was just one of those missing-square slidey puzzles. But it wraps around...
Presentation's a bit rubbish, as are the keyboard choices, but the puzzle is sound.

That and I can't get Gulpman to work at all in QAOP or JSpeccy. The game starts, but the player refuses to move.

Fans of Loco should take a look at Paper Mario: The Origami King as the combat system in it basically works the same way.

Gulpman shades it for me though. Sure, it's Pac Man with bells on, but they managed to cram a lot of mazes and tweakable options into a 16K game.

6 votes for Gulpman, 2 for Loco.

Obviously, Gulpman is the winner. An easy effort to analyse!

Missed this one, i would have gone for gulpman too, actually had it back then, never seen the other one.
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...
