Guessing row themes is more difficult than I thought!
I think I've made them too eclectic, and I think some will disagree with 5/6. Big hints:
Row 4 - Druellan was very close with "horror", but using the word in a very different sense.
Row 5 - How did these games fare on other systems?
Row 6 - As above.

Nope, 5 & 6 only relate to one other 8 bit console.
I'll make that the last clue, there's a chance people won't agree with it!

I just based it on your clues and Fairlight/IK+. No idea about any of the others

Nope I don't think my clue helped there.
Row 4 is unplayable crap

Yep. Surprised that didn't go sooner, maybe the mind represses the details of SQIJ to protect itself.
19 might be tricky. Most notorious for being bad on another system. Those black bits are pits, you might want to bury stuff in them...

I strongly disagree with the last row.
Turrican and International Karate + were each bit as good on the Spectrum as on the ol' breadbin.
Double Dragon on the Spectrum was actually better than on the C64, which was absolutely dreadful - remember the programmers' excuses about the lines cutting the characters in half?
Salamander was a passable shooter on the Spectrum, a bit better on the C64 honestly, but not a great conversion of the coin-op on either of them.
For the record, I played all of them back in the day on both machines, and the two coin-ops as well.
