The adventure game isn't philosophers quest. It's actually quite well known. Think of films and that should give it away!
Trayhop funnily enough I almost did Emlyn Hughes International Soccer as number 3 but instead I opted for this footy game.
With number 4 you are correct, the name is actually at the bottom left - Pud Pud In Weird World is the full title.
Most of the dizzy games were great games and number 5 was probably the biggest adventure dizzy game. Took a while to complete! As you say its not Treasure Island, it's a later game.
Number 6 you are quite close with Dan Dare!! Same name if that helps! I think this game was actually a bit better than Jet Set Willy.

Yes No. 1 is The Hobbit.
Steve - Not Crystal Kingdom, though that is a big game aswell.
Matt - Thats similar to Slightly Magic but it probably isn't that game.
