The best Speccy game by Realtime Games Software: discussion

Renowned for producing Starfox, Starglider, Carrier Command and Battle Commmand on the Speccy, but none of those revered games will appear in this shortlist, because it's all about the PUBLISHED games from the brand, rather than games published on other labels (Reaktor, Firebird and Ocean in the case of what I've just mentioned). Not uncommon for a few developers to start off as developer/publishers in the early half of the Speccy's commercial era and then dedicate themselves just to development and hand it over to a company to publish, which is what we have here.

Hence, my shortlist is just four games, but they're fairly alright really:

3D Starstrike
3D Tank Duel
Knight Flight
Starstrike II

Any mistakes? Let me know before next Sunday morning.

So we’re including QL games in this poll? (Hint: it’s the title you’ve never heard of before today)

Right then, that's the revised shortlist!
