Correct!

(Edited - joke might be misunderstood )

Current status:



Just 8 and 13 still to get.

Not a direct clue, but bear 1 and 2 in mind.

Open season by the way, guess limit repealed.

13 is Buccaneer.
I have no idea how I know that.

8. Karnov?

Yep, one of the trickier ones, so I chose the main sprite on purpose.

Nope.

Still just 8 to get.

Cue 'Left Bank Two'
And now here's some of the pictures that you've sent in, it's time for the Gallery.

I really like the vibrant anger in this picture, the use of the red marker pen that scribbles over the smaller pixel artwork is amazing. Hey, there's no number on the vulture picture, I wonder if the artist is trying to tell us something. Anyway, there's a prize for all artwork shown, but I'm sorry that we can't return them (just incase the artist becomes famous in a few years time and we can cash it in big time at an auction)

And cue Morph....

Yeah, it's a fine example of modern art.

Didn’t know that, or I'd forgotten if I did, is that in a magazine somewhere? Perhaps it could be added as a comment in ZXDB.

In this case I prefer E-Motion, a rare case where rebranding has worked! I would have expected ‘Bob’s Bouncy Balls’ or something.
