Ooooh, i actually played some of these, and remember rather liking a few...
Brain Damage, Cyber Rats, Orbiter, Slippery Sid, Starship Enterprise. All rip-offs, but very playable.

Slippery Sid stands out as the one i had most fun with but i don't expect it to win. Worse Things Happen at Sea was pretty decent wasn't it? I never played it though.

I'll vote Slippery Sid, and my top three will be...

Slippery Sid
Cyber Rats (Always a sucker for a good Centipede/Millipede clone)
Starship Enterprise

First computer game i ever saw at 8 years old on a Commodore Pet (4k i think) in 1979 was Star Trek. Starship Enterprise was pretty much the same game so i have fond memories of this one...

p.s. Best Centipede/Millipede clone i've seen, Millenipede. Grab it here... https://archive.org/details/Millenipede (Zolyx site long gone). If you know one better, go ahead and share :)
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...

OK, after a bit of consideration I'll go with:

1. Worse Things Happen at Sea
2. Robin of Sherlock
3. Freez'Bees

...I just noticed that the ghosts in Muncher are called Inky, Pinky, Blinky, and Clive... :lol:
