Bank Holiday Monday Quiz!

Post by 5MinuteRetro »

...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!

Oh, come on, #5 is The Central Cavern from Manic Miner.
6. Pac-mania
7. Rainbow Islands
8. Skool Daze
10. Knight Lore (or one of those isometric ones). Nah, it’s Head over Heels.

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!)

Ah, but still no. 13 is not Fairlight. (None of them are Fairlight, hence my no to the original '11')

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.

2. Wheelie

That one was a bit tough.

Good quiz overall. I approve.

Tsk. Yes. All went far too quickly. Too easy -- zooming out made almost all of them obvious,
