Speccy Records
LONGEST / SHORTEST TITLE: Domark released a game called 'Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters' which runs to 37 letters. Ocean released 'V' in 1986 which has the least number possible.
MOST TITLES IN A SINGLE COMPILATION: Cascade released a compilation with 50 seperate games on. Everyone of them was shite.
MOST STUPIDEST GIMMICK: Surf Champ released by New Concepts software came with a mini plastic surf board to lay over your keyboard. The game could be played just as easily without it.
SLOWEST FOOTBALL MANAGEMENT SIM: Probably Soccer Star by Cult.
MOST EXPENSIVE SOFTWARE: Aimed at the business user, Hilderbay released 'Statutory Sick Pay' and it cost 40.25p.
LARGEST PACKAGE FOR ONE CASSETTE: Legend released the game 'The Great Space Race' in a dirty great big box measuring 245x80 cm even though the game itself wasn't even worth the cardboard it came in.
MOST EXPLICIT PD DEMO: RTL 01 by Theo Devil contains 7 animated digitized sequences on such topics as 'gobbling' and front/back door action. Only available on import!
PROGRAMMER WITH STUPIDEST NAME: How about Costa Panayi, Ivan Horn, Phil Churchyard... take your pick.
