Played very few of these, some look interesting, TomCat for one...

Anyway, of those i played, i remember liking Deviants most.

Seems Colin Swinbourne made the best ones...
And LOL at the Matt Lucas extra image :)
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...

Not exactly a popular poll this one, what with Players being a bit of a second or third tier label in the budget market, late on in the Speccy's life.

The votes are very much spread out, and we only just have an overall winner - Crime Busters with 3 votes.

Joint second place is Joe Blade and Metal Army, 2 votes each.

Then a plethora of single votes to secure the joint third place: Brat Attack; Cagara; Denizen; Deviants; Joe Blade II; Miami Cobra GT; Psycho City and The Serf's Tale.

Over on the top-three proportional side of things...

Crime Busters 9
Psycho City 5
Joe Blade 4
Metal Army 3
Thing! 3
Dizzy Dice 2
Matt Lucas 2
Deviants 1
Serf's Tale, The 1

I would have voted for Lop Ears because I like bunnies, and it's not a bad game, in spite of the despicable review on YS.

It’s cute, but the controls are awful and the gameplay is not quite there. Deviants is clearly the best of the bunch. Never heard of Crime Busters before. Played it; didn’t care for it.
Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.

I thought Joe Blade was more popular than this.
