Game with best across-the-room graphics??

As the creator of Hangman's Hazard, a game intended to be the best of the Hangman / Wheel of Fortune genre, (but unfortunately unknown to 99.9% of C64 lovers) I wonder if there is a C64 game that is more playable across-the-room.

I realize that few, if any, developers were striving to create a game to be viewed at a distance, but with multiple players, it is great to not have to cluster around the computer. Especially in a public setting, and also conducive to onlookers.

So, out of the ~25,000 titles, does anyone know of a game which tops or equals HH in this category?

After looking at the screenshot at HH I would recommend one of the LN games. That can be looked and played at a distance. But it depends what kind of distance are we talking? If you want the best graphics: Last Ninja 3. LN3 also has a cool intro. If that's what you mean by best across-the-room graphics.

big tv/big screen solves the problem.

Shameless plug: Hardsync 1st Mix

Needs a bit of external hardware, though.

Last Ninja games require some precise movements, especially some jumps etc. While they may look great also at distance, the gameplay doesn't really work that way.

Another rhythm game, Sex Games, is probably better viewed from distance ;)

Bop'n Rumble with its huge sprites should work great.

Yup anyhting with stretch sprites should be a good idea, check out Uchi Mata.

@Ilesj/distance: Some games are best viewed from another room with many walls in between ;)
