The only one I played BITD was Macadam Bumper and thinking that Pinball Wizard was better. Anyway, I've tried three other games on this list that I can understand how to play and here are my top three:

1. Painting Joe - a decent Amidar clone
2. Macadam Bumper - still not as good as Pinball Wizard
3. Lombrix - an overly quick Snake clone

The other game I tried was Androide, which is a slightly below average Pacman clone

Pinball Wizard has better physics but the ability to edit the table is what makes Macadam Bumper. Either way, it's their standout game.

I'm struggling to come up with enough for a top three though. They did some great games for the Amstrad CPC but those never seem to have made it to the Spectrum.

Macadam Bumper is the runaway winner here, with 11 votes.

In a distant second place is Intercepteur Cobalt, with 2 votes.

Then joint third is Awari and Painting Joe.

Only one proportional vote and so the result is this:

Painting Joe 3
Macadam Bumper 2
Lombrix 1
