Spectrum games that appear in another context.

For example, Mag Max is not only a Specrum game, also a motorbike model or a pills brand.

Thanks Juan, that one really puzzled me but then I'm not at all familiar with game titles.

Some of those have to have been intentional references, right?

That road is where I do some of my run training! Very weird to see something I recognise from one of my core interests, in a forum on another of my core interests.

Anyway, here's another one for ya...

Ah, I thought 'Frank N Stein' was the pun-based title used for a couple of clumsy 'Frankenstein's monster' comic strips in British comics from decades before the ZX Spectrum existed. Turns out it was Frankie Stein.

There's a "Paradise Cafe" in Santa Barbara, California. And a "North and South" restaurant in the state of Wisconsin.
