I first played Super Off road on a PC, later on a Spectrum emulator. In fact, it was one of the first PC games I played, along with Lakers vs Celtics and Cisco Heat.

Maybe that's why I prefer the PC version.

I would have predicted that (International) Match Day would have flown into the lead, surprised to see it lagging behind a bit.

Match Day would be a serious candidate for me.

But International Match Day??? I had a look and it doesn't seem like a valid, independent game for me, more like a quick hack of Match Day. And I'm not voting for Match Day under I letter ;)

Yes, it doesn't add much to the original, I didn't think about it as a contender for the first spot.

I have no recollection of International Match Day. I remember playing the original a lot and then the exciting build up until the release of Match Day II. But International Match Day must have completely passed me by. I assume it must have come out near the end of games manufacturing on the Spectrum?

Into the Eagle's Nest is getting away (6 votes).

It seems it will win.

Forgot to vote on this one but mine would have gone to Impossible Mission (not that it would have had much affect on the results). Never got on with Into The Eagles Nest - found it rather boring.

Right, to conclude the poll...

Into The Eagle's Nest is a surprising winner, with 6 votes.

Second is IK+, with 4 votes.

Closely in third place is Ikari Warriors - 3 votes.

Those with 2 votes: I Ball; Impossible Mission and Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart's Super Off Road.

At last, a poll where single voted games outnumber the no votes! And those would be: The Ice Temple; Impossaball; Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade; Inheritance: Panic in Las Vegas; Inside Outing; Intensity; International Karate; International Match Day; I, Of The Mask and It's Only Rock 'n' Roll.
