Difficult choice, this time.
My faves are Lords of Midnight, Lode Runner, Livingstone & Lightforce.
After a deep reflexion of some seconds, I chose Lode Runner. Simple and addictive.

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with L: vote
Light Force is great, Leader Board is fantastic, Tomb of Ananka is one of the best adventuring experience I've had and its author J. Lemmon could well be my favourite adventure writer, and a fine actor too.
And there's other good stuff too, like Lode Runner or Livingstone Supongo. I like Legend of Kage too, although is very far from great.
Last Ninja 2 is exceptional, but, frankly, no fun to play.
I'm undecided.

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with L: vote
Yeah, this time a weird poll. In my opinion there's no game that stands up and I'd vote for 3 or 4 of them.

Ok, ok, I'm leaving...
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with L: vote
I know Lazy Jones & Lightforce best, and of those two alone I would vote for the latter. However, I can't vote until I know Lords of Midnight & Chaos properly, I get the impression they're the ones that 'should' win.

Lords of Chaos was brilliant on the Amiga, not yet played it on the Spectrum. One day.

Tough poll this time. Anything might win...
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with L: vote
Lords of Midnight for me, the game that made me buy a Spectrum.

Went for Leaderboard - the blueprint for just about every golf game since its release.
Is it shameful to admit that I've never tried to properly play Lords of Midnight? Tried several times to start but just never "got it".

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with L: vote
Same here. I couldn't get it back in the day and nowadays I haven't got enough time to play it properly.
As to Leaderboard, Maybe it's a question of perspective, but I've never understood the graphics that show the slope of the land.
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with L: vote
Went for Lightforce in the end.
I'd always wanted to get 'in to' LoM, but, never could. Maybe it was because, as an 11 year old kid, if my attention wasn't grabbed by a game on the first screen, then it was clearly crap

Come on. Lunar Jetman is virtually unplayable.

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with L: vote
There are no better games on this list, than Lords of Midnight ...
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with L: vote
I'll feel morally compelled to move my vote from Ananka to Light Force if this scandalous situation doesn't change.
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with L: vote
Is it too late to add an "Anything but Lunar Jetman" option?
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with L: vote
Heh. I tried it last night and didn't think it terrible, but not top spot material. The keys were chosen by a madman though. Probably LoM for me.
Hopefully people are getting any voting silliness out if their system ready for the next letter...

I liked that one too, almost voted for it. But, despite the missing trailer and the rock hard difficulty....Ast A. Moore wrote: ↑Thu May 31, 2018 9:58 am I actually liked License to Kill. Because . . . helicopter!
