Private Message me your answers and I'll get back to you with your score so you can post it below. That way the answers aren't showing and all that...

Here are 40 pretty big bits of ZX Spectrum game screenshots. If you've played any of these games, then I reckon you should get them correct.

God damn, I'm the one who requested this and I am PWNED. Stil, I know one or two so I will give it a crack!

edit - ok so there were only 11 or 12 that I could have a stab at from memory - answers sent.

Good work Hoolak, I'll take a look at this at lunchtime, only recognise a handful immediately.

[vanpeebles]

More my style, I spotted loads straight away and even a japanese game there too!

[Yakumo]

err, I don't know any. Looking at them makes my eyes sore I had a Commodore Plus/4 (Sort of a more powerful C16. The plus 4 had a whopping 64KB of memory!! ) at the time then moved on to the Master System then Mega Drive in 1988.

I hated my Speccy. I did have and like no.38 though to be fair. It must of been good as they released it for the Famicom.

[Mad Gear]

That was pretty nails. Think i may have about 50%. Look forward to the next instalment.

Love the Avatar!

[hudson]

Thanks man. Your avatar is also lovely. Any chance of seeing it get xmas'd up?

[vanpeebles]

I might do another speccy quiz in the next few days, thats the amazing thing about the speccy you could do a number of 40 screen shots of equally memorable games. Did you just chop up screen shots?

[hudson]

Yeah, I just cut out 120x120 pixel selections of screenshots from the World of Spectrum site.

[elektronhjarnan]

I gave it a try, but I don't know... I've hardly played any Spectrum games actually. I recognise a few from playing them on other formats, but the rest are - let's call them "educated guesses".

I played the Atari ST version of no. 6 a lot in my early gaming days, but I don't remember ever completing it. I think I got fairly close though.

[DCharlie]

a couple of them are driving me nuts, memory is mainly shot with old age, but i think i know the majority of them.

Spectrum was a real gamers gateway drug.

[vertigo]

I know a couple of the others but can't place them, have just sent you 18 hopefully correct answers.
