    Maybe you are right. But I wanted to make a quiz where people try to guess by using their imagination (and not by searching magazine archives).

    Small hint: it's a well known budget game where main character can change shapes.

    Game number 3: What do you see on a picture? Game title is similar.
    Game number 4: It's a sequel to a very colourful game based on a TV cartoon.

    That was really interesting, thankyou. I like looking at film posters and book covers in different languages where the art style and cultural references is very different to what I'm used to in Britain.

    Theres a good article about foreign language posters for Hollywood films at :

    http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/foreign-movie-posters/38713/50-great-foreign-movie-posters-for-english-language-films

    It never occurred to me that the same thing could happen with Spectrum games.

    Yeah, nice idea for a quiz. It's interesting how different artists visualise a game. Adverts, inlay covers, loading screens, map illustrations etc can all look quite different (and be very different from the game itself too!).
