Number 20 is a Design Design game I think, either Warlock, Halls or Dark Star. I'm sure they all used the same health bar...?

Yeah, my first thought was HoTT, but then I thought straight away that it looked a bit 'fat'.

After I posted I had a look back and I agree. I mean, it's the most generic a health bar can be, I'm sure plenty of titles used something similar. Those titles sprang to mind 1st though.

I knew I'd seen it somewhere!

I'm guessing Dark Star!

Edit:
I think HOTT was similar but in white.

It doesn't appear to be the correct answer as there's been no ding ding.. :(

They could be. They could also not be. ;) :D

I will give clues for the remaining pictures this afternoon if there are no more correct answers by then. :)

Ok, time for some cryptic(ish) clues. Apologies if they're a bit rubbish, I had trouble thinking up clever clues...

4. The most challenging Kreuger, or a cherub with a newspaper.
12. NON fleet.
14. Rodent assassin.
16. Attacker of roads and pavements.
20. James is scared witless of a life in the sunshine.

There's only one game that pops to mind here:
Ninja Hampster

I had to check - Dark Star was in a similar design but in blue.

Yes indeed! :)

Just these three to get now:

Clues:
4. The most challenging Kreuger, or a cherub with a newspaper. (Two different clues for different titles, the second one being a re-release under a different name.)
12. NON fleet.
16. Attacker of roads and pavements.

Bah...it's not what I had in mind at all. Guess it's an example of a false memory, or perhaps there's another game with the same kind of health bar :)
