Good afternoon, ladies and gents. I'll be doing a little quiz tomorrow morning, around 9:00 GMT. Brace yourselves - it's going to be a bit of a weird one!

Happy Friday, folks!
Here are 10 pictures, each describing an English phrase using graphics from various Speccy games/loading screens. Can you tell what they are?
Apologies in advance if these are a bit crap/easy/hard, I basically had ideas for two or three of them, and then struggled to think of more. I'm quite proud of #9 though!
Rules for this quiz: Only one answer per post. No consecutive posts from the same user. Rules will be abandoned if/when clues are given. Correct answers are worth a point, any answers after clues are given are worth half a point.

Again, it's good, but unfortunately it's not right. :/
Not an "official" clue, and this might seem a bit obvious, but it's necessary to know what the thing to the right of the wheel is, and knowing what game it's from will help a lot.
Here are 10 pictures, each describing an English phrase using graphics from various Speccy games/loading screens. Can you tell what they are?
