I actually recognised it from the Megadrive/Arcade version, rather than the Spectrum version!
That's the one!

You're incredible. I'd had those three ducks ready to use in the past, but didn't get round to it. Now I'm looking at the image of a single duck, certain that its the island of Hispaniola with Haiti and Dominica clearly shown. So it must be some sort of pirate game...

Reminded me of the dude off Endless Forms Most Beautiful - completely missed it was a duck!

I've been generous with this one as it has some truly abstract/broken animation frames, but I've chosen a clean one:

Don't think it's MM, maybe Technician Ted although I don't recall it.

Nope and nope.

This sprite doesn't fit at all with the theme of the game or all the other sprites.

It's from Antics. I recognise it from one of the early dens, and I think it's supposed to be a ZX81...

While that's confirmed, I'll prepare a new screen for you all...

It is indeed Antics or The Birds and the (Lee) Bees II. Do I get a prize for slipping one past XTM?

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh Matron.

This is absolutely nothing to do with anything medical or the Carry On films:

Good job with the Antics sprite. It looked familiar (I played the game back in the day) but I just couldn't remember where I had seen it. Same for the current "green alien" one, I think I've seen this too but it doesn't appear to be from any of the dozens of Space Invader clones - yes, I've searched the archive for it ;)

(Editing my post to say "d'oh!", as Pobulous has indeed guessed it correctly a bit later. Yeah, I had that game too ...)

Congraturation! You sucsess.

Specifically, Interstella's Defenda-with-an-A. But you knew that, right?

I did, that's why I spelt it that way.


Where have you seen this lazily placed tree before?

I've never played to Beach Buggy Simulator for more than one minute, but somehow that pattern is stuck in my mind.

Anyway, let's try this one:
