The All-Time top Yak game poll

1: Tempest 2000
2: GridRunner++
3: err, that's all i've played...

I never had a C64/ST, I fell into the Spectrum/Amiga axis so I never paid much attention to the Yak's stuff before then.

Plus, I only played the Jag version of T2K for a couple of months before my mate wanted his Jag/T2K back, the only version I have now is the Saturn one.

I was heavily into it though, and even the Saturn version ain't too bad...

It was much, much better than the crap PS1 version though.

Top 3 Yak games I want to play:

1: Unity
2: Tempest 3000 - but N501's are rare as rocking horse shit in the UK

3: dunno yet - i'll wait until more votes come in and d/l a suitable emulator

Hint: Iridis Alpha or Llamatron; C64/ST.

Oh, how my heart bleeds for you.

Australia doesn't know how to spell Nuon... nor know how many letters it had

MS Word recommends that you spell it as noun when you run spell checker on it.

Samsung Australia recommend you spell it as wha?

(OK, OK, that's a cheap joke, and I'd like to state for the record that I've never actually contacted Samsung.au. Actually, I have (for a query related to my Dad's TFT monitor), but not regarding the Nuon).

Ok, a bit late on this (as usual...) but here's my top 5.

1. Tempest 2000
2. Iridis Alpha
3. Matrix
4. Revenge Of The Mutant Camels
5. Ancipital

I'll probably change my mind again in 5 minutes though

1. Gridrunner++ (pure distilled brilliance.. mouse control + Yak shooter gameplay = nice)

2. Iridis Alpha (fast and hard (and smooth and noisy and innovative) zapping..)

3. Batalyx (Made In Yak.. and less than 64k)

4. Tempest 3000 (would probably be higher if I could play the damn thing anywhere other than Retrovision)

5. Hovver Bovver II (shows you don't need huge numbers of elements to make interesting and varied levels)

Hmm...Maybe a bit old-school but how about:

1. Batalyx
2. Iridis Alpha
3. Ancipital
4. Psychedelia
5. Hovver Bovver

Having said that, the first three are pretty well equal for their different qualities - can you score them that way for me?
