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.

5 Bravestarr
6 Sol Negro
7 Psycho soldier

10 North Star
11 Rebelstar

15 Raid over Moscow
16
17 Gemini Wing
18 Pheenix
19 Meganova
20 Supernova

The theme is celestial related, so the titles contain some reference to stars, constellations etc.

1 is a JSW MOD
22 is a shooter with an R-Type style engine

I've played them both but I can't actually remember what 14 and 16 are!

Yeps! Reasonable lesser known Czech shmup, scrolls the active bits of the screen only like R-Type.
