I've no idea.

You know when you confuse 'Hudson Hawk' with 'Contact Sam Cruise'? :?

(At least I didn't vote for it!)

I was tempted by Horace Goes Skiing.

Last time I fired it up I played it for what seemed like ages.

Just watch the recording.

It's a very allright game. Big, colourful, with nice graphics and decent gameplay.

I read that's based on some crap film. But it shouldn't matter when you evaluate the game itself, right?

It's a rather late game in Spectrum commercial history so many people may not know it. And it seems that people
have stronger sentiments for earlier games so it's not going to be a winner here.

But as I said it's rather good.

When I checked time, it was actually 7 minutes ;)

I had thought: 'a game based on a Bruce Willis film?... nah!' :lol:

The outright winner is The Hobbit, with 11 votes. Quite a surprising victory in my view.

In second place, with 7 votes, is Highway Encounter.

Third placed, with 6 votes, is what I would have thought had won - Head Over Heels.

In fourth place, with 5 votes: Hypersports

Then in fifth place with 2 votes: Horace Goes Skiing

With one vote each; Hades Nebula; Halls Of The Things; Harrier Attack!; Heartland; Heavy On The Magick; Hero Quest and Hysteria.
