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.

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

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.)."

 ;D

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

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

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!

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

N looks so familiar it's driving me nuts.

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

Post by: cdbrown 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

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

Here are some clues for E.

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.
