Slimmer pickings for C and most of my ideas have already been listed, but I would like to suggest Cabal - a most excellent arcade port.

Agree about Cabal.

Another game I played a lot and I forgot to mention is Critical Mass by Durell. Original concept.

Chuckie Egg or Cookie are the true classics here

I share the love for Cookie. It doesn't usually seem to get the attention it deserves, but I honestly think it's Ultimate's second-best game (after Atic Atac).

We should actually give Pete the week off for this one. C is one of those cases where you either know straight off that it’s Chuckie Egg, or you have a think about it and then vote Chuckie Egg.

No, this is one of those cases where the Chuckie Egg and Chaos fans bicker, while Commando quietly wins.

No, Chase HQ, Chuckie Egg and Commando can have their war of words, but Chaos will win*.

* = Subject to this song** title being literal by the time the vote takes place***.

** = It's a terrible song btw.

*** = This won't happen.

This will be a very tough battle. Many high quality titles beginning with C.

And I'm going to vote Chase H.Q :) So don't be so sure about your favourites, guys :)

Actually, I'm quietly confident. I understand a bunch of new users are keen to join, and Luxor, Corleth, Tarithel, Shareth and Doomdark are all huge Cookie fans.

Are there any easy letters left in homebrew?
Maybe knock something out while everyone else is arguing... :lol:

All I'll say is that if Chaos doesn't win I'm flouncing and going over to Lemon64... :roll:

Chuckie Egg, much better than some stinky old tactical fantasy game.
