Firelord was good (and the only one I bought retail) but it was way too hard and you had to do the stealing to complete the game IIRC, which was just a random button mash thing, even when my reactions were better lol.

Starquake was the best I think. Shame he only seemed to do music and graphics after a while, he was a very good programmer maybe when at his best on par with Joffa at times (obvs no one is that good but he probably had his moments) :)

Wizard's Lair probably wasn't as good as Atic Atac really but he was just working out how to rip the Ultimate games off big time then I expect.

Unsurprisingly, by a huge margin, Starquake is the winner here, with 33 votes.

Nearest thing to it, is Firelord, a distant second with seven votes.

Factory Breakout get three votes to be in third place.

Joint fourth goes to Laser Snaker and Wizard's Lair - two votes each.

Similar story on the proportional results:

Starquake by Bubble Bus 44
Firelord by Hewson 30
Wizard's Lair by Bubble Bus 18
Factory Breakout by Poppy Soft 14
Laser Snaker by Poppy Soft 2

And can I just say I prefer Wizard's Lair to Atic Atac? There. I mean it, too.
