1. Curses (et al) :-)
2. HoMM2
3. A few tied for third I think - Angband, Wonderland, Simon The Sorcerer, Lemmings 2, SimCity 2000 (though only the first of these still works on my computer...)

ATB,
Matthew

Top three selling RISC OS games are probably much different (Lemmings, E-Type, something else), but I've always liked...

Elite
Syndicate
Several others including Speedball II, Doom (et al.), Quake... a few bubbling just under like Abuse, Magic Pockets, Flashback, Magnetoids... Damn, three is just too few!

Quite a few conversions there I'm afraid, technically even Elite. Oh well.

Tricky question....

I think the ones I've played the most are Lemmings 2, Stunt Racer, Star Fighter and Doom1/2, although other great games are Zool, Elite, HoMM2, Descent, etc.

Hopefully TEK & ID will be at the top the day they're released smile

You're quite right! Curses remains one of the great works of IF. I think though I would have to choose "A Mind Forever Voyaging" - surely among the finest computer games ever - as the best game I ever played under RISC OS.

Just to put the record straight:

1) Stunt Racer 2000 best game on any platform
2) Star Fighter 3000
3) Doom+

OK, Doom wasn't a native game, but we needed it. If we'd had Doom when the PC did, well I think our history might have been different. I back Stunt Racer as the most fun I've had with computers, a game so far ahead of it's time.

1) Elite. Without shadow of doubt the best game ever!
2) Stunt Racer 2000. Absolutely brilliant, I was lucky enough to have a serial cable to connect an A3000 and a RPC and
play killer! Brilliant3) Always liked Sim City 2000, probably the best conversion to RISCOS yet.
