I'm at a loss on Goldenband's as well. Just one question: What system/platform were those games on? That by itself might be enough to narrow it down.

#25 Double Dungeons
The other 2 (plus the one by RP2A03 on the first page) have me stumped.

Red, Genesis. Please tell me one isn't Sword of Vermillion.
RPGs: Proof that one you start done the dork path, forever will it dominate your wallet's destiny.
I'm going to take a guess here and say #24 is Shenmue.
⃟Mario says "... if you do drugs, you go to hell before you die."
I...can't do that, because #26 is indeed Sword of Vermilion. Advertisements for the game offered 300 hours of gameplay (ha!); obviously, it's got red pigment in the name; and if you leave the game sitting on the name entry screen, the music goes crazy.
Not Shenmue, no. Hint: there's a character named Tommy in this game.
#24 still hasn't been answered then. I wish I had more experience with Dreamcast games, but it featuring someone named Tommy who is "still in the news" makes me think its Sports related somehow.
Virtua Tennis?
I've been desperately thrashing about; The only Dreamcast game I actually know a bit about is Soul Calibur. "Arguably the best-known in its genre" makes me think of Marvel Vs Capcom. It's like the only game I know of that brings the fighting game nerds, the comic book nerds, and sundry other nerds together to bask in the glories of the Dork Side...by smacking buttons and screaming like maniacs at the screen.

Yes! In Virtua Tennis, when you go too long without buying a stamina-refreshing sports drink, your character starts flashing red on the status screen and can no longer hit balls with any power. And one of the playable characters is Tommy Haas, who was in the news last week for beating Roger Federer on grass -- at the age of 39 (!).
I can get the next round...
#27 - Skipping is cool, but leaving those 7 polite servants behind to rot is not. Maybe when you start a new quest you won't be in such a hurry this time.
#28 - I don't remember rafting down a river in the movie. I guess it was in the book. Now if only I could stop getting spit at.
#29 - This is supposed to be a detective game about solving a kidnapping case, but all you get to do is beat up the bad guys. Who needs sleuthing skills when you've got fists, wrenches, pipes, or whatever else you can pick up off the ground.

#29 makes me think of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? for NES.
#29 sounds like Dick Tracy

Yeah...
#29 is Final Fight, now that I think about it. Mike Haggar for President!

Your clue fits 64th Street better than Final Fight--the former is set up as an actual mystery/detective story, Final Fight is not, and no none of the characters are detectives.
Would #28 be The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by any chance? (I've never played that game but the clues about rafting and it having a movie and a book seem to point that way).
EDIT: I just realized #28 could also be Jurassic Park (there WAS actually a rafting segment in the book, plus the spitting makes more contextual sense than it would for Tom Sawyer)
