Re: The best Speccy game by Mikro-Gen: vote
That 3 Weeks in Paradise loading screen wouldn't fly today would it? Put my vote in with Pyjamarama, but enjoyed all the Wally games. Does anyone remember the tape for Everyones a Wally with the song on it by Mike Berry and Wendy Richards?

Yes I remember the tape, I still have it I think , from BITDDouglasReynholm wrote: ↑Sun Oct 20, 2019 11:07 am Does anyone remember the tape for Everyones a Wally with the song on it by Mike Berry and Wendy Richards?
This topic/poll is very difficult indeed to decide on which is the 'best' as (personally) I could pick at least three ... so slightly reluctantly I'm forced to pick the 'first one I purchased' to decide from the "top three that I cannot pick between" , that being the same one you voted for actually.

Re: The best Speccy game by Mikro-Gen: vote
Voted for Pyjamarama. The other games in the series are very good, but this was the first, original one. A great adventure. Apart from the Wally games, Equinox & Frost Byte are good games as well.
My points go to:
1 - Pyjamarama
2 - Everyone's a Wally
3 - Herbert's Dummy Run

I also love panic (I'm a huge fan of the arcade game) and this is a very good conversion.

Re: The best Speccy game by Mikro-Gen: vote
I'll add my top 3 here:
1. Pyjamarama
2. Everyone's a Wally
3. Automania
Also, I remember being so impressed at the time that Pyjamarama had a mini space invaders clone within it - a game within a game!

Never been a big Wally fan (to be honest, back in the day I only knew Three Weeks in Paradise).

Re: The best Speccy game by Mikro-Gen: vote
Three Weeks in Paradise doing very well.
Am genuinely interested to know what draws people to vote for it over Pyjamarama and Everyone's a Wally.
(Not that I'd argue with any of the Wally games winning the poll though )

Re: The best Speccy game by Mikro-Gen: vote
3 weeks for sure. Pyjamarama a very very close 2nd and Equinox. I never much liked Herberts and Everyones a Wally.
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...
Re: The best Speccy game by Mikro-Gen: vote
3 Weeks had a few more solvable puzzles near the beginning and less barriers nearer the start of the game that allowed it to engage you more or quicker. I never really knew what to do in EveryonesAW, with more obscure puzzles, or Herberts which as i recall had too many deadly obstacles from the get-go for me.
3 Weeks and Pyjamarama are the only 2 of this series i ever completed. Pyjamarama was ground breaking in some ways, 3 weeks just polished it even more and had a better premise.

Re: The best Speccy game by Mikro-Gen: vote
There you have it, Three Weeks In Paradise takes the crown, with 9 votes.
Pyjamarama is very close behind, with 8 votes.
Third place goes to Everyone's A Wally, 4 votes.
That's the top three dominated by Wally Week games, will it continue to the fourth place? Nope. That's Equinox, 3 votes.
Frost Byte is fifth, 2 votes.
Another Wally Week game, Automania, is one of the sixth-placed games, who gained 1 vote each. In full, that's Automania; Space Zombies and Tempest.
The only Wally Week game not to get any votes in the forum's poll, is Herbert's Dummy Run.
The proportional top three voting results have a pretty different order!..
Pyjamarama 19
Everyone's A Wally 17
Three Weeks In Paradise 9
Automania 4
Frost Byte 4
Herbert's Dummy Run 3
Space Zombies 3
Equinox 2
Scramble 2
Defendar 1
Stainless Steel 1
Witch's Cauldron, The 1
