Got 23 out of 26... couldn't remeber "E", "N", or "S"....

Larry Smith · « **Reply #2 on:** January 21, 2004, 09:22:04 pm »

better than me, i only got 19 (without looking through mame)
missing e,h,k,n,o,r and x.
They look so familiar but I just can't place them

paigeoliver · « **Reply #3 on:** January 22, 2004, 06:05:55 am »

I got them all, although I was guessing randomly on N for a long time. Funny one to get hung up on, I used to own one of them.

JamIt · « **Reply #4 on:** January 22, 2004, 07:13:13 am »

I only got 15

.
paigeoliver, I know its early in the post, but maybe you can enlighten us with the answers? There's a few that I know I should know, but just can't get my hands on

Their "O" is wrong. It is hyphenated one the marquee.

nighthawk2099 · « **Reply #6 on:** January 22, 2004, 09:09:10 am »

If you read the instructions, it said

"Answers are not case-sensitive, but are space sensitive! Symbols are not used in any answers (apostrophe, hyphen, etc.)."

Brad Lee · « **Reply #7 on:** January 22, 2004, 09:27:32 am »

without checking, E W X are the only ones I miss

E & X look sooooo familiar, but W is my real stumper

Lilwolf · « **Reply #8 on:** January 22, 2004, 11:15:26 am »

so many are for me... I'm getting old

18 out of 26... And I know the V, R but can't think of it right now... they will pop up later.

E is from the transformers... don't know about a marqee though.... but man does it look like the transformers.

H... no clue...
S... Super of a classic I'm guessing... but I wont' get that one.
N... I've seen it.. and now guessing it might be part of a W... but still can't. That one will be a oh yeah...

But a fun game... Start posting answers when this gets to about 20+ posts!

18 for me.
didnt get c, d, e, h, j, n, s, and y.

I can't believe i didn't get c. that one just drove me nuts cause i couldn't remember the name. i now know what it is though and feel like a complete moron. (shoot me)
hell, i even got w - and thats kind of a trick question.

jerryjanis · « **Reply #10 on:** January 22, 2004, 01:35:21 pm »

I got 24 of them after some relentless guessing - I have no clue about E or J.

SirPeale · « **Reply #11 on:** January 22, 2004, 01:52:38 pm »

So many that I should know. I recognize them, but can't name them. I'm at 15.

J was easy. Think of a band...

Wha?!? All the games on the list were extremely popular games... Was that game actually popular?

EggZilla · « **Reply #14 on:** January 22, 2004, 03:15:01 pm »

I'm at 24 as well. Can't seem to tackle E or H.

The most humbling part is that S is my all-time favorite game, and I didn't recognize it. Ack.

EggZilla · « **Reply #15 on:** January 22, 2004, 03:25:18 pm »

Incidentally, just to clarify, I finally finished this (with the help of three of my co-workers) and none of these have been photoshopped into different letters from what they are on the marquee. There are just some where the letters next to them have been scrubbed out.

Like S.. it really does look like the beginning letter of a title. Thiswas the last I found, besides the 2 or 3 I cant place

I'm not sure. I like the band the game is named after, so it was easy for me.

Trenchbroom · « **Reply #18 on:** January 22, 2004, 06:43:25 pm »

19 so far. Some of them I should know but I just can't think of them. One of them I SWEAR I KNOW, but it won't accept it.

I will keep trying.

RacerX · « **Reply #19 on:** January 22, 2004, 10:42:04 pm »

21 so far. I'm stumped on E, H, N, W, and X.

N looks so familiar it's driving me nuts.

alphasqorner · « **Reply #20 on:** January 22, 2004, 11:09:17 pm »

D'oh. can only get 14. The "C" is looking so fricken familiar!!!

cdbrown · « **Reply #21 on:** January 22, 2004, 11:39:32 pm »

Well - I'm really crap. I've only been able to work out 12. Strange I thought C and N were easy. E is annoying me as it looks just like Data East label

paigeoliver · « **Reply #22 on:** January 23, 2004, 12:20:57 am »

E is not Berzerk. I typed that in like 30 times.

Here are some clues for E.

4-way game.

Horizontal monitor.

Involves animals.

SirPeale · « **Reply #23 on:** January 23, 2004, 08:39:56 am »

Thanks, Paige. Got it and one other. Now I'm @ 17.

Grrrrrrrrrrr I had 24 out of 26. Hints would of been nice.
Not the posted cheat sheet

RacerX · « **Reply #28 on:** January 23, 2004, 02:04:16 pm »

I got all but Jungle Hunt. And I never would have gotten that. I don't know that I've ever seen it, to be honest.

Trenchbroom · « **Reply #29 on:** January 23, 2004, 02:15:11 pm »

"S" was Tempest--man that was a tough one

.

nighthawk2099 · « **Reply #30 on:** January 23, 2004, 02:21:36 pm »

LMAO !!!! I never would have quest Tempest !!! HAHAHA !!! I liked this...... maybe someone can come up with another one....

RetroBorg · « **Reply #31 on:** January 23, 2004, 03:51:09 pm »

Great quiz, I love this trivia type $hit!

Brogner · « **Reply #32 on:** January 24, 2004, 12:27:22 pm »
