Voted For SuperTed. I think Longman should have stuck to just concentrating on educational programs as none of the games I could motivate myself to try are much cop at all.

1. SuperTed
2. Postman Pat's Trail Game

Blimey. In the phpBB poll, both SuperTed and Postman Pat's Trail Game are joint top, exactly the same number of votes (3 each) and nothing else was voted in.

Obviously, that proves their kid's TV licenses were a hit with those who voted.

But, we need to break this deadlock!

Astonishingly the two participants in the proportional votes have recorded exactly the same preferences. However, it does mean the eventual winner can be declared: Superted!

Superted 6
Postman Pat's Trail Game 4

There's an obvious conclusion here: the programmers at Longman Software would have been right at home in the CSSCGC. Every one of those except for Postman Pat and Superted looks like a type-in.
Spectribution: Dr. Jim's Sinclair computing pages.
Features my own programs, modified type-ins, RZXs, character sets & UDGs, and QL type-ins... so far!

Yeah, a quick glance at my initial post and you'd think I'd have laid my hands on the sequel to Cascade's Cassette 50.
