To Dare is to do as they say at Tottenham Hotspur

And just like Spurs, you haven't won anything with this guess

With that said, both yourself and oluturia are in the ballpark, but for different reasons...

Nope, not Metabolis

Time for a larger pic

Dunno why they didn't just call it Twister. Zub (aka Zob) was also renamed of course, I wonder how many other games were besides those already mentioned?

Anyways, heres the next SCREEN$

Twister Mother of Charlotte

No it's in reference to the 'Mirror' universe in Star Trek where the good guys are evil. 'Mirror' Spock has a beard.

Well its from at least 1987, may well have been around before that

@sn3j congrats, your go

Not Gauntlet

Although, the central character from this game could stand in if one of the Gauntlet regulars wanted a day off

No? Ok have another shot:

So it is! Well spotted. Although it doesn't appear to share any of the same authors...

^ Shaw Bros. games do have a certain 'look' to them

Try this one:

Cavemania

You're all wrong.

It's Zig-Zag. A strange game in which you chase creatures through a maze and having cornered them, they stand wide-eyed and panting whilst you aim and shoot them at point blank range :shock: I had it on a tape with a joystick interface but no instructions, couldn't work out what I was supposed to be...

I don't think it's Marsport, but I'm going to say that just for the sake of having a guess

Well this must be the creepiest story of the week! Researchers have grown brain cells in a lab that have learned to play the 1970s tennis-like video game, Pong https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-63195653 Erk! Although, with no consciousness, it does not know it is playing Pong in the way...

Lovely graphics but very colour-clashy.

Next up:

Navy Moves

I love the little details there

Those characters are stored in ROM and not changeable. Of course you can create a redefined character set but that uses more memory so not what you want. Those 16 chars only use 128 bytes, there must be a better way to squeeze that out of your program.

I'm nice but dim.
