Bank Holiday Monday Quiz!
...which of course I actually meant to post on Friday but, hey, real life got in the way. But here we go: a bunch of (mostly) well-known Spectrum games, but rather blockier than you might remember them. You know the drill. Go!

Full house! (I realise now this is actually kinda easy when they're all smaller... they somehow seem to become clearer than when I was pixelising them all in GIMP!)Ast A. Moore wrote: ↑Mon May 28, 2018 9:01 pm Oh, come on, #5 is The Central Cavern from Manic Miner.

Ah, but still no. 13 is not Fairlight. (None of them are Fairlight, hence my no to the original '11')Rorthron wrote: ↑Mon May 28, 2018 9:38 pmSee my edit. (Autoformatting messed up the numbering.)5MinuteRetro wrote: ↑Mon May 28, 2018 9:38 pm 9. Yes (I thought that'd catch more people out...)

Re: Bank Holiday Monday Quiz!
Of course, I've just realised that 2. is the only one that seems to get harder as you zoom out. For the rest, that just makes them easier. Flawed quiz... I'm an idiot.5MinuteRetro wrote: ↑Mon May 28, 2018 10:49 pm That just leaves 2., which I thought wasn't too hard...
