The best classic Speccy game beginning with G: discussion
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with G: discussion
Can we have a multi vote poll? Just selecting one game just feels so wrong. Otherwise I may need to create some sock puppets
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with G: discussion
It's up to Prodge of course but we'd lose consistency with all previous votes. One works for me.
Edited by moderator, reason: terrible joke about macrame.

Looks like, we forgot Gyroscope...

It's no winner here and maybe not so popular as it came to the market in final days of commercial Spectrum when everybody was moving to other platforms.
But It's a really polished game, very pretty and colourful with lots of content and hours of gameplay.

I wonder if this was Pro Golf from Hornby Software. This advert was in Sinclair User.

GM Software also advertised Golf in Sinclair User:

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with G: discussion
There are plenty of Golf games... we should make an only-golf games poll!
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with G: discussion
[mention]PeterJ[/mention] The game was called Troon, and was made by the same software house - Hornby Software.
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with G: discussion
Should G-Force be included?
Apparently it was initially called Tempest, but there's no cassette inlay of it called that.

Our search engine picks it up with either title, but as it's listed in ZXDB as 'Tempest' I think we leave it until we get to the 'T's. Its up to [mention]PeteProdge[/mention] though as master of the A-Z.

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with G: discussion
In certain cases like this, I think it should considered the first name (Tempest) and not the 'aka' (G-force).
Anyway, it's Pete Prodge's choice! (As Peter said, the 'master of AZ')

Dunno why but I like to look up these cottage-industry software houses on Google Street View, not least because they are almost always literally houses. This one is particularly pretty:GM Software also advertised Golf in Sinclair User:
