I remember being sooo proud of it back when i was 13 or so - jeez thats 40 years ago now...

Re: Devfinitive Edition (Steve Crow): vote
Firelord was good (and the only one I bought retail) but it was way too hard and you had to do the stealing to complete the game IIRC, which was just a random button mash thing, even when my reactions were better lol.
Starquake was the best I think. Shame he only seemed to do music and graphics after a while, he was a very good programmer maybe when at his best on par with Joffa at times (obvs no one is that good but he probably had his moments)
Wizard's Lair probably wasn't as good as Atic Atac really but he was just working out how to rip the Ultimate games off big time then I expect.

Unsurprisingly, by a huge margin, Starquake is the winner here, with 33 votes.
Nearest thing to it, is Firelord, a distant second with seven votes.
Factory Breakout get three votes to be in third place.
Joint fourth goes to Laser Snaker and Wizard's Lair - two votes each.
Similar story on the proportional results:
Starquake by Bubble Bus 44
Firelord by Hewson 30
Wizard's Lair by Bubble Bus 18
Factory Breakout by Poppy Soft 14
Laser Snaker by Poppy Soft 2
And can I just say I prefer Wizard's Lair to Atic Atac? There. I mean it, too.
