    Thought I'd got No. 30 with "Spellbound", but no cigar. Dammit, why must all spiders look alike?!

    Yeah, that spider is quite 'generic'..

    [Edit: I don't seem to be able to edit my first post any more..

    Remaining are 4, 9, 12, 13, 15, 18, 30]

    Ok, some clues for the remaining ones.

    4 is from a control panel (cockpit).

    9 is from a simple but fairly playable Firebird game.

    12 involves a murder. You'll get it if you look at the screenshot in the Crash review.

    13 is from a text adventure that should be fairly well known. Crash rated it highly (10/10), but SU and YS didn't particularly.

    15 is from a budget game. It has a picture of a woman wearing a bikini on the tape inlay cover.

    18 is from a sports game that generally seems to be very highly rated by a lot of people on WoS.

    30 is from a game that has an animal for the main character.

    No, 13 is indeed Kentilla, in the Urga-Maul dungeon. I've not played it before, but Crash did indeed give it 10/10, probably because it was written by Derek Brewster who wrote for the mag. Shocking stuff.

    All correct..! That leaves:

    9 is from a simple but fairly playable Firebird game.

    The snippet is visible in the in-game pic in the WoS archive. You don't control the figure in the snippet, but a flying vehicle.

    15 is from a budget game. It has a picture of a woman wearing a bikini on the tape inlay cover.

    The pic is from an inventory menu panel which is on the right of the screen. Again it's visible in the WoS in-game screen in the archive.

    It's a fairly decent budget game. You control an arrow icon and click on a map to move your character.

    Thanks for the quiz! Good fun, and a good way to discover new games or rediscover old ones.

    To think I spent an hour looking over Mastertronic lists to try and figure something out for that last one.
