Typical. I don't use the source images for my excel quizzes for over a year, and three weeks after I delete them I want them to try a quiz out here. Ah well, one big gif'll have to do:
<a href="

Dunno quite how to do this, or if there's any interest, but post your answers in part or in whole and I'll give the winner some 5perm or something.
EDIT: Oh yeah, it's guess the game from the box art, in case that wasn't clear.

They're all Amiga box art AICMFS
I think I've got most of them but I'm not going to give all my answers until others have had a go. There's a couple I could get with cheating but that's no fun.

Ooh, I'm impressed. Even I'd forgotten that they were all from the Amiga when I found it again.

Amiga's one computer I never had. Had a C64, then a Megadrive, so there's a few titles common to them. I PM'd pants in case anyone was still guessing, but I only managed 34. Of the ones I didn't get there are only a few I vaguely recognise, the others I'd never get as I've never seen them.

An impressive 56 for Spoodie. Or thereabouts - I've sometimes given you the sequels and sometimes not depending on how similar the games were.
