Win the trip of a lifetime to the Land of the Aztecs, Mexico

Former special forces commander, Bret Conrad - Gold of the Aztecs' starring protagonist - is, in essence, Indiana Jones without the official license. One day he serendipitously (?) stumbles across an ancient map to a stash of gold buried deep within the lost city of Quetzacotl. Just a thousand or so little snags stand in the way of recovering this priceless treasure/jetting off into the sunset to live a life of luxury and self-indulgence - all those Temple of Doom-inspired, bone-crunching traps!

Proof of game completion was to be rewarded with an all-expenses-paid holiday courtesy of US Gold, which likely explains why Gold of the Aztec's trademark is an insanely preposterous difficultly curve. I finally beat it following several hours of face-palming/hair-pulling and only then by cheating every save state step of the way. You'll find longplay evidence as well as a video presentation of this article on my YouTube channel.

You're not the game you think you are

Upcoming party and no idea what to do for entertainment? Allow me to present my 'name the Amiga game screenshot quiz'! Try and tell me that's not rock and/or roll.

Your task, should you be geeky enough to attempt it, is to try not to be blind-sided by the recognisable sprite cameos (or other graphical homages) seen in the screenshots and name the actual game in which they appear.
