WOTEF was much better than Street Fighter on the Spectrum. If you mean SFII on the SNES however then you have clearly been freebasing solidly since 1991 Mr Smalley

I used to work with Andrew before he left to write games back in 1980!

He wrote some cool games on the work IBM mainframe too. I even wrote a mainframe version of Space Invaders which was quite popular during lunchtimes.

He also did the conversion of Rainbow Islands which I still play sometimes.

Those were the days

Dropzone on the C64. Thought I was a God when I was the first among my mates to get 100,000.

Excellent Defender clone.

As for Yie Ar Kung Fu, I had that on the C64 too. Looks wierd after not seeing it for so long.

Elite is still good today, copied many times, but never bettered.
