Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with Y: discussion
Just looked at the list of Y games and text adventures on WoS and realised that I've never played any of them. To be honest the only ones I'd ever heard of were:
Yes, Prime Minister
Yogi Bear
Yie ar King Fu (1&2)
Young Ones, The
I don't see this one going quite the same way that the 'W' vote went

I would add Yeti (a decent Exolon clone) and games about Yogi Bear.

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with Y: discussion
Agree with [mention]Ralf[/mention] about Yeti. If you love Exolon, you'll like it. Decent clone.
No more games to add, except for Yength by Dinamic, just for nostalgic purposes. Not the best text adventure (Dinamic made better works later) but it was the first spanish text adventure ever, if I'm not wrong.

Great variety of choice.

Your Attention Please, bad text adventure set in a nuclear danger scenario, I had a lot of fun with its relative crappiness 4 years ago.

Yacht Race (Hill MacGibbon). If you’re into that kind of thing, it’s a decent attempt at simulating . . . well, a yacht race.
Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.

What a waste of a license The Young Ones was.
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with Y: discussion
At least nobody's suggested one of the 8,000 Yahtzee games...
I think my vote will go to either Yes, Prime Minister or Yie Ar Kung Fu.

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with Y: discussion
The line up is so bad, I genuinely think YS Capers stands a chance.
Or is 1990 the cut-off?

A tense, multi-choice dialogue based game in which you phone up J.R. Hartley and try and get him to hand over his bank details...
(Although on 'Easy' level you just have to get him to switch energy provider and install solar panels).
