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!

Nope I don't think my clue helped there.

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...
