Yes to all (though I didn't realise it was Fairlight128, thought it was just Fairlight)

No ideas on each row's themes?

By the way, the themes aren't all objects like "fire", they are broader & could be anything speccy related.

Can't understand how they relate to all the rest though.

No game guesses, but I'm going to have a punt at the theme to line 3 - Soft Aid.

Row 4?

No not horror, not in the horror film sense anyway.

Yes, no limit on guesses.

Yep well done. They've all been the subject of a Harry S Price homage.

All game guesses correct.

Nope. 5 & 6 have common ground with another retro system in slightly different ways.

Guessing row themes is more difficult than I thought!

Just 17 & 19 to get.

I think I've made them too eclectic, and not as clear cut as I'd like. 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!
