Exolon is definitely the best for E.

Definitely!
Re: The A-Z of the best Speccy games (classic: 1982-1993)
So difficult to pick. R-Type feels like it deserves a place, but that excludes Robocop and Rainbow Islands. I think the only choice I'm not conflicted with is ZZoom and only because I wasn't a fan of Zombie Zombie.

Not sure I could settle for Chaos for C. Chase HQ all the way, Mr Driver.

And I think S needs to be Sir Fred. Controversial, perhaps, but such a great game.R-Tape wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2017 10:53 am Ooh some potential controversy here. I'm going to jump in and grab M, I'd like to grab R too but don't want to be greedy.
Reason: I've said it all before about being tremendous fun and filled with quirky humour. Manic Miner is a game that, for many, defines the Spectrum. It's possibly the only game that was ported to other machines with more advanced graphical abilities yet still chose to replicate the look of the Spectrum, that speaks volumes.PeteProdge wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2017 10:44 am A

Common prefixes like "the" and "a" are ignored, so "The New Zealand Story" effectively begins with N, if you see what I mean.

Would anyone argue with Xenon?

Well now I have none. Dammit.
Re: The A-Z of the best Speccy games (classic: 1982-1993)
Guys, we need to think outside the box in order to find a way forward on this one, yet maintain a proactive synergy. Perhaps someone could suggest some innovative strategies in order to elucidate a consensus?
However, I'm not budging on Manic Miner or R-Type.
EDIT - Zynaps surely?

A voting thread for each letter surely?
So we can easily have it sorted out within a year!

Let's name the main games for a certain letter and see. For example, as to P, I see:
Pang, Paperboy, Pentagram, Penetrator, Phantom Club, Pheenix, Pyjamarama and Ping-Pong (Konami's Ping Pong, actually!).
I'd go for Pyjamarama.

No once a poll is set it's set.
I think building up a list as we are, that can then be refined works, as long as M and R don't change of course.
