Still quite surprised at the number of votes for Highway Encounter.
Not that I don't think it's a good game, just that I wouldn't have expected it to surge into second place, with games like Hypersports, Head over Heels etc. in the mix.

I wouldn't have expected more than two votes for The Hobbit...
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with H: vote
All great games (well it's a shortlist), Head over Heels, Hudson Hawk, Hysteria, HERO, Highway Encounter and Henry's Hoard especially, but for me it's a clear choice of:
-Horace or Hunchback?
-Which one of the series?
It may be a tarted up version of Frogger and a Type In bolted together, but I'm going to let go of the branch and get swept downstream in the whitewater of nostalgia:
Horace going Skiing.

Is Hudson Hawk that good? I've never played it...
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with H: vote
I've no idea.
You know when you confuse 'Hudson Hawk' with 'Contact Sam Cruise'?
(At least I didn't vote for it!)
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with H: vote
I was tempted by Horace Goes Skiing.
Last time I fired it up I played it for what seemed like ages.

It's a very allright game. Big, colourful, with nice graphics and decent gameplay.
I read that's based on some crap film. But it shouldn't matter when you evaluate the game itself, right?
It's a rather late game in Spectrum commercial history so many people may not know it. And it seems that people
have stronger sentiments for earlier games so it's not going to be a winner here.
But as I said it's rather good.

When I checked time, it was actually 7 minutesI was tempted by Horace Goes Skiing.

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with H: vote
The outright winner is The Hobbit, with 11 votes. Quite a surprising victory in my view.
In second place, with 7 votes, is Highway Encounter.
Third placed, with 6 votes, is what I would have thought had won - Head Over Heels.
In fourth place, with 5 votes: Hypersports
Then in fifth place with 2 votes: Horace Goes Skiing
With one vote each; Hades Nebula; Halls Of The Things; Harrier Attack!; Heartland; Heavy On The Magick; Hero Quest and Hysteria.
