Games crosswords
Here's my first (crappy) attemp to make a crossword. All the game titles have only one word, so this time Raid Over Moscow won't be included, sorry!
ACROSS
1. A flying carnivorous (at 1,2). Initials of a very develop machine (at 1,9)
3. Often trasparent (at 3,7)
4. Dense, odorless noble gas found in the Earth's atmosphere in trace amounts.
5. Russian arcade hero (at 5,5)
6. Won three oscars, including best picture (at 6,1)
8. Definitely it is (at 8,2)
10. Fashionable man (at 10,1). Speccy hero that tries to escape (at 10,7)
12. Film director Almodovar's fave game.
DOWN
5. Speccy menial servant at Her Majesty's service (at 1,5)
7. Best lasagna fan (at 3,7)
9. Brian Ferry's fave game (at 1,9)
12. Space Invasion

Re: Games crosswords
Forgot to say some definitions are speccy related, some not (byt all refers to Spectrum games).

No clues for 4 and 8 down, they're only one-word squares. As I said at first, this is my crappy attempt!

6. Won three oscars, including best picture (at 6,1) - ROCKY
1 down - XOR - there is no clue but it fits.
