ZX Spectrum Game and Software Charts

Charts

We have decided to expand our chart with several categories. In this issue, we are presenting only our own picks for each group: utilities, demos, musicians, graphic artists, coders, and games—logic, arcade, adventure, strategy, text, racing, shooters, and beat-'em-ups—as well as the best AY music in a game, the best graphics, the best screen, and the best software company making programs for the ZX Spectrum.

We will count the points as follows:

1st place — 5 points
2nd place — 4 points
5th place — 1 point

After adding up all the points, we will announce the Spectrum TOP 5.

Send us your lists of suggestions, please.
