Friday picture quiz - themed rows
Friday picture quiz - themed rows
Gimme an "F", gimme an "R", gimme....sod that - It's Friday, that means it's quiz day.
Each row has a common theme. Guess the games and the themes. Usual rules, 3 guesses per person.
The themes of the bottom 2 rows may be too hard, a hint is that they are related and vice versa of each other.

I think 18 is that wizard that kept appearing from behind and killing Paul in one of the Spectrum Show episodes, can't remember the name though.

You’ve really got to get upscaling under control. Make sure it’s proportional along both axes. The way it is now, some pixels are not quite square.

Yes to both.
Go easy, 24 is the only one that's gone a bit blurry, all others are proportional AFAICTYou’ve really got to get upscaling under control. Make sure it’s proportional along both axes. The way it is now, some pixels are not quite square.
EDIT - actually I've spotted a couple of others that are a bit wonky, will do it in ZXP next time.
Re: Friday picture quiz - themed rows
So far:
Open season on guesses, but try not to spunk the whole lot at once

Blurry is fine. It’s the random non-square pixels that give me a nervous tic. (Could be the sleepless night, though. The jury’s still out on this one.)

Fairlight II?
Nope.
If I have time I'll use ZXPaint next quiz, that should avoid any problems.Ast A. Moore wrote: ↑Fri Jun 22, 2018 11:23 am Blurry is fine. It’s the random non-square pixels that give me a nervous tic. (Could be the sleepless night, though. The jury’s still out on this one.)

D’oy. Definitely the sleepless night, then. In my defense, it was a large wasp.

Re: Friday picture quiz - themed rows
Yes to all (though I didn't realise it was Fairlight128, thought it was just Fairlight)
No ideas on each row's themes?
Re: Friday picture quiz - themed rows
By the way, the themes aren't all objects like "fire", they are broader & could be anything speccy related.

20. Friday the 13th (and a good example of chicken-o-meter?)
