19 out of 40. Still pretty decent on the nerd-meter. Someone feel free to explain to me how that one shot of Bomberman apparently isn't...unless my memory is just messed.

29, and that is Bomberman. I even tried Dynabomber! Must be a problem in the script.

30! I fuckin' knew that was Command and Conquer, but I needed to enter "Red Alert" to get the son of a bitch to recognise.

No idea: 1, 14, 22, 26, 27, 36.

Just realised what 35 was. Man, old school.

I <i>know</i> what 10 is, deep in my soul, but I can't place its name. 34 looks familiar, but again, can't place the name.

Great find, Zeus :).

15, not including Bomberman.

I assume the word 'Bomberman' is in all the titles. Maybe they're looking for something more specific, as with Red Alert. Or maybe Hungarians just have difficulty spelling Bombeman.

It accepts "Final Fantasy" for Final Fantasy 7, so it seems that "Bomberman" would also be suffecient for any Bomberman game.

haha I got 14...and I only got Alone in the Dark cause we discussed it in my Game Design class last week

Edit -- 17...I took a closer look at some of the SS, like I didn't notice the Starcraft one at first class, or the Quake II one.

Got it. One of my favorite (and first) games on the ATARI 800XL.

Finally got 10. I don't think I'll figure out the rest without cheating.

I'm too lazy to actually fill them in, but I know 24 of them.

I actually filled them out, knew 24 which really surprised me. I haven't even played some that I recognized, and some I recognize but don't know the names of.
Still, It's kindof sad that I know that many. I've wasted my life...

I'd feel bad if I hadn't gotten as many as I did. I know that I've wasted my life, but at least I can recognise old games from cropped screenshots! :)

I got 27, with help on 3 of them from Shellie. 26 is really fucking with me, because I know what it is, but it's not Wizards of Wor. 29's not Ninja Gaiden, but there was another popular ninja game out at the same time, I think. 35 isn't Kung Fu. 10 isn't Betrayal at Krondor. 11's artwork looks really familar. 16's background looks like Flashback, but not the character. Who has bathrooms on 36?

And what in the hell is 18?!

Is it Shinobi Sine?

Watch out, I'm going to spoil the ones I know here! You have been warned!

29 is The Last Ninja, which I played to death on my cousin's C64. 35 is Barbarian. 10 is Defender of the Crown. 11 is Day of the Tentacle. 16 is Rayman.

I think 26 may actually be Wizard of Wor.

Fuck knows what 36 is :).

Nice. I knew Rayman, but there was no chance in hell of getting the others.

I got 15. PC games aren't my specialty. I did bust out some sweet wild guesses on games I've never played though like Rayman (and I knew Fallout, cause Tort likes it so much :))

Spoiler! (because I missed it in the first reply)

18 is Sam & Max. You're not an adventure gamer, huh Sine? :)

I can't do this test anymore, a bunch of us from Utopia, a while ago, completed it, or completed most of it I left after they were all almost done.

Anyways, on my own, I think there were only 8 or 9 which I could actually get. I've played a lot of games, but not those ones.
