These guys so many coloured doors, it's like Shakin' Stevens on steroids...

(Also, why are the loading/game screens for Magic Treasure Adventure the wrong way round on this site?)

Don't yell. I know we are past the "discussion" phase here :)

My Tartan folder looks like this. You have more than me, i have more than you. I usually don't get involved in the discussion as you do the work and when its wrong someone always shouts up.

My vote would have gone to "The White Door". It was the first one i played and enjoyed, i think it may have come from a covertape too.
Its included in a double cassette 6 pack of Tartan adventures. Maybe you just aren't including compilations here?

I don't know who is right here.
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...

Well, the White Door is Crisis At Christmas, and 1942 Mission was originally published by CCS. Our resident adventure expert @8BitAG advised me on this in the discussion phase.

And I never include compilations unless the compilation itself is considered as a game in its own right. Gremlin's Compendium and Ocean's Batman: The Caped Crusader being a couple of examples.

To be fair, I'd advised you in line with your usual rules. ;) Which I always respect, but don't agree with.

White Door was disqualified as it was a non-Tartan type-in in its original Crisis at Christmas form. 1942 Mission wasn't originally at Tartan-published game. The Spy Trilogy slips in, as although it was optioned elsewhere, it never seems to have been published by Anco.

No White Door, no vote. I haven't played the others. I know a lack of vote from me will be upsetting, please keep your spirits up... ;)

The Gordello Incident has won this, with two votes!

In second place, one vote each goes to The Crown Of Ramhotep; Double Agent and The Prince Of Tyndal.

I think there's a bit more detail in the proportional results, which are similar:

Gordello Incident, The 4
Crown Of Ramhotep, The 3
Double Agent 2
Castle Eerie 1
