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

Celestial objects, stars, suns, moons and all that caboodle
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.

As it stands.

1
2 My name is Groucho
3 Sunbucket
4 Death Star Interceptor
5 Bravestarr
6 Sol Negro
7 Psycho soldier
8
9
10 North Star
11 Rebelstar
12 How to be a complete Bas**rd
13 Dark Star
14
15 Raid over Moscow
16
17 Gemini Wing
18 Pheenix
19 Meganova
20 Supernova
21
22
23

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!
