For the letters pages this month we would like to know what's your favourite adventure game and why?

I’ll hopefully be chatting to Martin Edmondson this week – co-founder of Reflections Interactive and creator/designer of the Shadow Of The Beast, Destruction Derby and Driver series. If you have any questions you'd like me to ask Martin, stick them below and I'll try my best to get them answered for...

No conspiracy - said article is a retrorevival (a nostalgic look back at a memorable game), the C64 version is the one I played so it's the version I wrote about.

But what I want to know is, what game are the monochrome sprites on the third page from? They don't seem to match any of the games. Is it from the Speccy version of the Official Father Christmas game? The reindeer certainly looks like a better sprite than any of the games actually listed. Close, th...

@ gman – on the other point you raised… You’re absolutely right, but isn’t the 3D chase section a boss battle not a stage? The actual level is side-scrolling. I would have to play it again though to be sure though. The point I was making (badly) there was that there are no top-down or over-the-shou...

Hi guys. We’re currently working on our December issue and want to know which games get you in the festive mood and why?

What are your favourite bosses from the series? Which were the most gruelling, imaginative and downright bizarre. We'd like to know.

Cheers guys.

Sorry, yes, the Brøderbund version/art.

Hi guys, does anyone have a copy of Lode Runner on the C64 they can loan us? We’re looking at putting it forward as a possible cover option, and need a hi-res scan - ideally with as few stickers/marks on it as possible.

I agree, the dream setting, ability to create different subspaces in the dream world, having multiple characters working together, and a weird fascination with turnips*, SMB2 is the Inception of the Mario series.

Yes, the USA version.

I thought Alpha was an excellent entry. Loved the setting, the look, the Final Fight crossover and the dramatic battle mode. It was also the sequel that reignited my interest in the franchise after all the SFII milking.

You can’t beat the brilliance and impact of SFII though, so it gets my vote.

What's your favourite Street Fighter chapter? Let us know in the above poll.

For mailbag this month.
