How you scoring this SimonB? 5 points for first, 4 for second etc? It might also benefit doing a table just giving each game one point per nod, so we can also see what games got nominated the most (as for example, 2 people could put a game first and have it come higher than if 9 people put a game fifth!).

1. Rox 64
2. Sheep in Space
3. Gridrunner++
4. Gridrunner
5. Attack of the Mutant Camels

Rox 64 at place one because the basic code was quite inspiring for me.

Oh...Kay...

Precious little to choose from in the top two, and only a shade seperates number three in my little list...

1) Tempest 3000
2) Tempest 2000
3) Iridis Alpha

After that, it get's tricky...

<mode=Guilty Secret>
Y'see, I haven't really played any of Jeff's other games. Quick goes of Llamatron et al don't really count and, although I've had Gridrunner++ installed for aeons, my PC is a) barely capable of playing it, b) about 200 miles from where I now do most of my gaming and c) Not the PPC version which I was kindasorta holding out for.

And, since I was a spectrum gamer "back in the day", my first exposure to Jeff's work (Headbangers Heaven) was hardly earth-shattering - and for years toggled the Dip-switch labelled "over-rated"

</mode>

Anyway, I refuse to vote for something that hasn't rocked my world to some small extent (Hover Bovver II was fun, but was hardly fuckmemyeyeballshurt brilliant, ditto for Deflex) so I'll stick with three games (two of which would occupy similar positions in my "favourite games ever list) unless...

4) VLM 2.0

...counts? And I'll reserve a space for...

5) Unity/VLM 3.0 (order to be confirmed)

...until I've had a chance to play

Cheers
Chris
