Seven days to pick your favourite out of, er, this one or the other one. Thrilling, eh?

No proportional voting, for the obvious reason...

Mission 1: Project Volcano

Mission 2: Project Gibraltar

They both have a limited parser but Mission 2 is the more polished of the two, so that got my vote.

I sometimes use Google Maps to look up where Software Companies were based, I assumed Mission Software to be some sort of homebrew, mail order type based in a flat or house and err, um...Crikey!

Voted for the second one as it was released later... so it must have been better.... right?

Tried them both and couldn't get very far at all without visiting the Tipshop site. Mission 2 is the better of the two though, so I voted for that.

Well, the votes are in, and it's Mission 2, with 3 votes. Outright winner.

Mission 1 got absolutely ZERO votes, so it's not like I can say "wow, what a close call" or owt like that.

I just played Mission 1 (and managed to soft lock it, so completed it by cheating). Some interesting ideas but a bit dull.

You can't break in to the BASIC code. Or you can but it then instantly goes CONTINUE. 77 bytes of M/C and also line 1 of the program looks a bit weird/REM statement-y.
