Yep. Now you'll have to redecorate your house or buy a llama to take a turn.

LOL yeah, that's what I was thinking of with this.

The squareness also reminds me of Deactivators.

I'd go for it - here's part of the OP. No turns and see how it goes:

Or, you know, it could just die on its arse. :D )

Obviously could be any of many but immediately made me think of Hungry Horace…

Yeah, many, but there is a game whose baddies are very similar to those on the pillow.

As there's no turns, here's my attempt: a pic I made yesterday, I don't know what the f*** is this bowed pipe or what is it for, but it strongly reminds me of certain game...

Ain't sure about that, I think are vent pipes for letting air out from drains and other kind of plumbing like sewers that can produce gas.

Here's a pic I took of a painting I saw hanging in a hotel while I was staying there on holiday:

It immediately reminded me of a Speccy game - any guesses as to which one?

Clue: It's not a massively well-known game. But one of its creators is a very well-known 80s game author.

it's the sort of random art you get in a Travelodge. It reminds me of Roller Coaster.
