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".

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.

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 :lol:

I'll feel morally compelled to move my vote from Ananka to Light Force if this scandalous situation doesn't change.

Is it too late to add an "Anything but Lunar Jetman" option?

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....

Well, there we go. Lords Of Midnight crowned the winner of the 'L' poll, with 8 votes.

It was quite close with Marmite title Lunar Jetman, which followed with 6 votes.

Lode Runner is third, with 4 votes.

Joint fourth - Leaderboard and Light Force with 3 votes each.

Joint fifth - Laser Squad and Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge with 2 votes each.

Yer also-rans... Lemmings; Licence To Kill; Light Cycle; Little Puff and The Lost Tomb Of Ananka, with 1 vote each.
