Friday quiz - letter from a madman.
Friday quiz - letter from a madman.
It is Friday! You are about to leave for work when a bizarre message cut from the inlays of Spectrum games lands on the doormat. But what does it mean?...
Each word is from one game. Usual rules - 3 guesses until midday, then it's open season. There is also a theme which may help to get the trickier ones.

Re: Friday quiz - letter from a madman.
It's been a very cool idea, but maybe too short. More words would have been great (but also more laborious to make! )

Is each line also an anagram?

Of something I imagine! Nothing intentional though. Why? did you spot some?
The last one is a useful reminder for me to 'remix all ergot'.
