Have a look at these five screens and guess the game and format. They are all 8-bit games and four of the five are games from the 80s/90s. One is a home-brew title that has been reviewed in previous columns of Retro Mart. One point for the game and one point for the format - so a maximum of 10 out of 10 if you get them all right.

Here you go:

1:

2:

3:

4:

5:

Good luck!

Is the first one Inertia on the Beeb? It looks familiar but probably isn't...

Sorry, you're both wrong. No. 1 is a game on a famous British computer (but not the Beeb) and a budget title, and No. 3 is a very famous American machine in action. Quite early, but nonetheless grand game it was too.

Regards,

Shaun.

You're sort of on the right track with no. 1. Both games were budget releases, no. 2 had "no name", and also appeared on Britian's most popular 8-bit machine.

Shaun.

3: Super Pipeline 1 or 2? format beats me though.
4: Aargh, I really should know it.
