All of these passed me by.
I don't have anything cool to put here, so i'll just be off now to see a priest with yeast stuck between his teeth and his friend called Keith who's a hairpiece thief...

Like Blaby, I have a soft spot for Software Supersavers' games (or the inlays at least), and I suppose 'soft spot' means they all have a touch of naffness about them. I only knew a few of them so gave them all a quick blast:

1 - Super Chopper
2 - Shuttle Shock
3 - Loony Lander

Super Chopper is just plain fun - nothing wrong with it.
Shuttle Shock and Loony Lander are fun to play and charming. Shuttle Shock's physics are a a bit quirky, but that jump teleport is a nice invention - it's fun in a Mr Freeze or Jason's Gem way.

Flip Flap should get a mention. Pinball isn't my cup of tea, but it's probably the most polished SS game there.

Fred's Fan Factory is a great idea, but horrible to play. The Crash review said similar, but pulling its punches:
Fred's Fan Factory would have been a really good game if it had been a bit more playable.
I couldn't get Freex to work (I selected Issue 2 keyboard), but going by the eye I don't think it'd change my vote.

Super Chopper got this, with six votes!

In second place, Fred's Fan Factory - which got four votes.

We get a richer picture from the proportional results:

Super Chopper 6
Fred's Fan Factory 5
Shuttle Shock 5
Flip Flap 1
Loony Lander 1
