Putting together a Spotify playlist of songs with coincidentally have the title of Speccy games (so not soundtracks of films that have a Speccy conversion etc). Here's what I have so far, any suggestions?

Fantastic! Although I think Gold may be a bit too obscure a game. Full Throttle is a belter!

Fat Worm by Puncher
The Sentinel by Judas Priest
Monty Mole by Night Crew

There's a song called 'Jet Set Willy' by a band called 'The British IBM' which is explicitly about the game but it features the lyric
I played it on my BBC,
I never liked those rubber keys
so I'm afraid we'll have to not include that, but instead shun them as heretics.

Not a bad way to discover new music. Project Future is a nice, chilled out jazzy number.
Quite like Bugaboo by A House. Like Shed Seven crossed with Midnight Oil and the B52s.

I listened to 14 tracks named Wriggler. Not recommending any of them.
Gauntlet by The Connells isn't bad.

I don't know what Chaos by The New Young Pony Club sounds like (yet), but I reckon it's the greatest song of all time by any act.
