The best Speccy game by Streetwise: vote
A poll where two-thirds of the line-up have appeared on YS covertapes! Here's the short-lived Streetwise label, which was basically Domark in a backwards baseball cap and bermuda shorts and shouting "yo dudes!".
Kat Trap
Orbix The Terrorball
Unitrax
Seven days to pick the most RADDEST SKILLO GAME, HOMIES!

Orbix, never played the other so wont do proportionals.
I don't have anything cool to put here, so i'll just be off now to see a priest with yeast stuck between his teeth and his friend called Keith who's a hairpiece thief...

You can sing 'Orbix the Terrorball' to the tune of Champion the Wonderhorse. No contest.
Re: The best Speccy game by Streetwise: vote
Kat Trap always left me wondering WHY DID THEY DO THAT? The sprites in the lives indicator, red on yellow, look great. But in the game area they're all white on a dark background - inverted - and they all look terrible.

Do you know the full story? Kat Trap was the winner of a “design a game” competition in CRASH!
Re: The best Speccy game by Streetwise: vote
Nope! Although I don't imagine the competition winner actually submitted the pixel-drawn sprites for use in the game...
I did just find the sketch the game was based on, and he did the sketch in black ink then coloured in the background. Apart from completely ruining the design by inverting the graphics on the first stage to white ink, it looked very much like his original sketch.

For being a game from a readers competition, it's really good, IMO.
