If Manic Miner didn't exist, I think we'd see Match Day II leading this.

Well, what a surprise that wasn't.

Manic Miner dominates the polling. 50% of votes have gone towards it, 20 of you picking this game.

With such support, second place is really far away, and it's Mercenary in that position, with 4 votes.

Joint third place - 3 votes each - Match Point and Myth.

Joint fourth place - Micronaut One and Movie, 2 votes each.

Then in fifth, all the ones with a single vote each: Marauder; Match Day; Match Day II; Maziacs; Metabolis and Moron.

That’s twenty people who haven’t played any other game on the Spectrum, clearly. :twisted:
Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.

I'm astonished not a single vote for Midnight Resistance. That's how utterly dominant Manic Miner is in our circles.
