A quiz where the answers are computer games (from Arcade/console/PC).
Some of these may be (very) dated. As usual, Please don't put answers in the thread
This one is for the 'geeks' (So I expect some high scores!) :)

Cheers

Nigel

At least one of the above leads to a miss-spelling (from Ultim-8 Software)

Guest, songbob.
The answers will be posted within a week on a common answer thread.
Not posting them here avoids it being a spoiler for those who want to attempt the whole quiz without immediately being supplied with answers.
Members are able to 'PM' (private message) me with their answers, and I will score them. But it's just for fun.

The Walrus (Tom) straight in with 14/15, and he claims not to know computer games, he just answered the questions.

Cheers
Nigel

All of a sudden I can't find #12 as a game, only as a software house. But the question should be obvious!

For "NightWing" 13/15
