Good shot!

Not Splat.
The game is probably too easy to spot from it's unique style, so I took a frame of an animation. Zoomed out again.

Spoiler

It's an exploding object.

Not game of life. It's part of an animation and about 3x3 chars in size. Zoomed a bit out.

Ok. Here's an early classic.

Frost Byte?
If I am right could someone else go on?

Cpt Blood maybe. You could talk to aliens and save them.

If that's the loading screen it's annoying anyway. Presumably some sort of Missile Command game.

Probably Weinstein. I covered it up so as to not provoke spasms. It's a non-graphic text adventure.

(flashy)

Ground Zero
probably a bit overblown that one

Ground Attack

The water in thar one:... the water animation is also looking nice in this game: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/SCRtoImage.php?SCR=zxdb/sinclair/entries/0035210/0035210-run-1.scr&border=0 https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/35210/ZX-Spectrum/Dragon_Tale_Fantasy Cropped up while I was trying ...

Yeah my impression was CPU had a lot of lucky rolls. Maybe there's a secret to level 4? A liitle bit of disassembly could reveal this.
I'm just busy atm and will stuff my sparetime into coding methinks, but will be following the thread if you're going to do a rematch.

Nice read. It helped me to get into Backgammon, although it's difficult to follow the moves at times.
The 1-16 defeat seems a bit ungraceful though.

Lords of Midnight and Tomahawk for the stunning open world feeling
and also Knight Lore for sure

It would be interesting.
Maybe there's a way to wrap up the screens and post it with a bit of automation, if you didn't do it already.

It was entertaining. Should make a good read for Scrabble enthusiasts.

It was surprising to see the algorithm open up the board after all that clogging.
Nice score and follow up to the previous wins, despite the bad find where you had no vowels.
And perhaps not trying BEDS/DEX...
Btw AGIO is valid.

gg

what about LAR, an ape name
or even CAR

Great. I got a coke prepped with a malt beer for the showdown.
What about CAN or MAN ?
Yes ECU should be ok.

sounds reasonable
the 47 outweighs the loss if you're stuck with a C

what about TOUCH / MU later (after KOP) ?
or even before? TOUCH/LO/MU

KO sounds good
HUT maybe to get rid of an U

I think ENE is the name of an African tribe. (no) But names are not allowed right?

AUTO would have opened 3 doubles, not sure if that was a good move.
