The best classic Speccy game beginning with F: discussion

[hitm4n]

FFS III The Forehead Slap


or just Frank N Stein would be my vote.

[Morkin]

"You dear Peter, you've forgotten about..."

- Fantastic Voyage: a very entertaining adventure
- Fernando Martín Basket Master, one of the best basketball games
- Flight Simulation: Maybe it won't win, but I think it deserves to be in the poll
- Frank Bruno's Boxing, one of the best boxing games
- Formula One. Never played it much, but people usually love this management game.

If Juan doesn't vote for Fred I just don't know what's real any more...

[R-Tape]

Ideally we should leave F until September 2nd, which as we all know is International Fred appreciation day. Maybe we should skip it for now and move on to G :-p

I said Fred two posts before!

FRED.

Anyway, I'm ready for the fight. The F poll will be the mother of all battles...

We'll win.

You're already gathering acolytes it seems...

INFILTRATE
DESTROY

*mwahahahaha*

[Morkin]

Oh no - the vote hasn't even gone up and "Fred-gate" has already started...

Anyway it won't win, it's OK, but not that good...

[Rorthron]

Can we include "Fred, Sir" and split the Fred vote?

F16 Combat Pilot by Digital Integration

Well damn. I thought I had this down to a tough choice between Fantasy World Dizzy (easily the best Dizzy) and Frank N Stein (quirky but I loved it BITD) and then you go and throw in a genuine classic I lost hours to and had almost forgotten....

Maybe not candidates for the winner but good, recognizable, classic games:

Fairlight 2
Forgotten Worlds
Foxx Fights Back

Rather late in the day, but here is games starting with F. I will get a proper page sorted when I can.

For me it's Fairlight.

Fall of the third Reich?

A nice simulation game of real Endkampf. But understandably for those same reasons deeply frustrating. (You cannot win, you can only delay the inevitable defeat) For me one of the best examples when you should not model exactly real life to give some more game play options.

Back in the day I wondered how this game ever got off the drawing board in the state that it was in. With no win state what was the point in playing the game in the first place?

[Morkin]

This might be the hardest choice so far, for me. Some good/classic games in there. It's a toss up between at least 3 at the moment.
