Friday picture quiz - Themed

Post by R-Tape »

It's Friday! This time it's a mix of mainly old with a couple of new games in there, all with a common theme. As there is a theme, Spectrum Quiz Regulation 432501.5b* will not be observed. Can you guess the theme?

3 guesses each to begin with.

Image

*The regulation that states, for reasons not fully understood, every Spectrum Quiz must contain an example of the game "Raid over Moscow". FAO any Russian colleagues, this is just a quirk of nature and not a political statement!

Ah, no wonder I couldn't figure out what 18 was! I was searching for 'Phoenix'!

All correct, Mat - Rebelstar is actually #11 but you can have it :D

Yep that's the theme.

I should point out that I lied - I did observe standard quiz regulations so there is one exception. I'd better say in case anyone's scratching their head over it, I thought it would have been spotted instantly!

Yep! (And there was Mat straining at the leash for that one)

For info, 1, 3 and 22 are post commercial era, the rest are classic.

It's Raid over Moscow, Mat alluded to it.

15 doesn't count, my fault, I put it in to meet accredited Spectrum quiz regulations but lied that RoM wasn't there, in the expectation that someone would have guessed it instantly. No-one guessed it and it didn't seem fair.

Sorry! I'm tired.
