The All-Time top Yak game poll

SimonB · Post by **SimonB** » Fri Apr 04, 2003 12:16 pm 0

OK folks,

I thought for the anniversary of the forum it would be nice to compile a definitive chart of all your top games the Yak has put his hairy talents to over the years. So if you vote for them in this thread I'll tot up the results and do a nice little chart thingy.

Simply reply with your top 5 games in order like my choices here and I'll do the maths.

To keep it as flexible as possible all formats of all games will be OK, so if you want to put normal ST Llamatron, Rude Llamatron and Amiga Llamatron in your selection they will all count. Likewise Gridrunner++ and the Arse On Fire remix are both valid. However, I think perhaps we should stick to finished products, so no voting for the numerous demo versions of Gridrunner++ we all so happily playtested!

My votes are:

1 - Gridrunner++
2 - Llamatron
3 - Tempest 2000
4 - Hover Bovver II
5 - Ancipital

Over to you!

IA is a top class blaster. Nuff Said.
RotMC I must have plaed the most of any JM game. Not played it for *ages*, but it's up there for services rendered...

I just *know* I'm going to want to change this list after a few mor people have replied....

Oh bugger. Sheep in Space needs to be in there somewhere.

Minter, you've written too many good games!

Apart from my first choice, this is hard... But...

1. Iridis Alpha (C64)
2. Llamatron (ST)
3. Gridrunner++ (PC)
4. Metagalactic Llamas Battle at the Edge of Time (VIC20)
5. Revenge of the Mutant Camels (C64)

There are others that really should appear in that list... but... arrgh!

Minter - you've written too many good games!

You are so right, it is a tough decision...

1) Llamatron (Amiga)
2) Matrix (Vic-20)
3) Traxx (Vic-20)
4) Batalyx (C-64)
5) AMC (C64)

You could make at least half a dozen top 5 games here.

Tempest 3000 (Nuon)
Llamatron (Atari ST)
Gridrunner ++ (PC)
Iridis Alpha (C64)
Deflex (PPC)

I would have included Trip-a-Tron (Atari ST) if it had been a game

and when I think of the amazing stuff that does not make the list, I am, once again, awestruck at the workings of the Yak-mind.

PVB · Post by **PVB** » Fri Apr 04, 2003 1:13 pm 0

1) Iridis Alpha (C64)
2) Tempest 2000 (Jaguar)
3) Llamatron (ST)
4) Gridrunner ++ SE (AOF Edition) (PC)
5) Trip-A-Tron (ST)

If I had a Nuon, T3K'd be up there somewhere, but as I've only had one quick go of it I'll have to leave it off.

Goat, what a bitch of a job...

1. Iridis Alpha: best shooter ever, period.
2. Gridrunner++: more fun than something very fun indeed.
3. (Rude) Llamatron: awesome stuff that outplays its inspiration.
4. Ancipital: only recently started getting into it, and man, is it fun.
5. Attack of the Mutant Camels: old-school playability.

Bear in mind I've never played any of the Tempest family
