Well, it's a runaway win for Fairlight, getting more than twice the votes of the second-placed game.

Fairlight wins with 12 votes.
Formula One comes second with 5 votes.
Choking in the dust with 2 votes each, we have Feud; Firefly and Frank N Stein.
And then, with 1 vote each... F16 Combat Pilot; Fast Food; Fantasy World Dizzy; Finders Keepers; Fist II; Flight Simulation; Football Manager; The Forest; Frankie Goes To Hollywood; Fred and Future Knight.

I'm suprised it was so clear cut, I thought Football Manager, FEUD, Finders Keepers and Firelord would be contenders.

Lots of mentions of Fahrenheit 3000 but no votes, I want to like it, it sounds like I just need to try harder.

It can't be saved as scr as scr is always 256x192 pixels (size of Spectrum screen) and this one is bigger.

A central part of it, saved as scr can be found here:

If I was playing this for the first time on an emulator I would have given up on it too as the first screen is rather unforgiving. I only persevered with it as I'd spent my pocket money on it and had a lot more free time back then. :)

Thanks! It's actually 3 SCRs stitched together to make 1 large Spectrum pixel illustration. Ralf's right in that you can get the original central part off the illustration as an SCR but I see Diver has converted some of my larger Spectrum illustrations into CH$ format, which is pretty aces! Thanks, Diver, if you read this! I'm not sure how that's done, though.

I would have voted for Fred, probably.
