It's Raid over Moscow, Mat alluded to it.

15 doesn't count, my fault, I put it in to meet accredited Spectrum quiz regulations but lied that RoM wasn't there, in the expectation that someone would have guessed it instantly. No-one guessed it and it didn't seem fair.

Sorry! I'm tired.

The theme is celestial related, so the titles contain some reference to stars, constellations etc.

1 is a JSW MOD
22 is a shooter with an R-Type style engine

I've played them both but I can't actually remember what 14 and 16 are!

16 - Orion (Software Projects)

22 shares the name of another

Yeps! Reasonable lesser known Czech shmup, scrolls the active bits of the screen only like R-Type.

That's the lot!

Same time next week, drop me a PM if you've got one planned.

Work of art.
