I didn't get: E, H, N, O, S, V, W, X.

It took me a while to spell Q correctly.

Considering I'm only 14, (Today's My Birthday, and it's sucking so far) I got 7 right, and I don't think that's too shabby for me.

EDIT:
I did all of them after looking at the spoiler list, and figured out W... It was a wild guess, too.

Speaking of Sniderman's contest, what was the solution to the final puzzle that granted entry into the Ultimate Contest? And, what was the Ultimate Contest prize, anyways?

What is the W though?

Got 16 but again, I'm sure the other ten are on the tip of my tounge. "V" was a cool one I got right away :D

Arrrgh. What is W anyway?

Final grand prize was a Sega CDX package donated by DP himself. Here's a link to the thread that explains how you were to enter Day 12. (The images have long been deleted, but I think there's enough in the text to clue you in as to how it was put together.)

Oh, and the last 12 Days Contest prizes just went out this morning, so everyone should have/will soon get their prizes. Sorry for the delay in sending them out!

I got 18 the first try. Still can't figure out W.

Hugely popular, eh? Is it Tron?

EDIT, two minutes later: (Groan) Got it.

I wish people would stop groaning and mention what W is.

I couldn't figure it out either so I looked up an online list of the Top 25 arcade games and there was only one or two with a "W" in the name. So it was obvious after that but I do feel like I cheated :)

You have 16 of 26 answered correctly!

Not too bad...only missing 10 but If I tried a little longer I could have at least got a few more.

25 here, the N got me. I never liked Double Dragon for some reason. Now I have 1 more reason not to.

I did it yesterday and got 14 (I think). Today I got my 15th because you all made me go back and figure out W.

I'm quite embarrassed that I didn't get R.
Q took me 4 tries even though I knew exactly what it was. Grrrrrr.... (asterisk? dash? nothing? oh, space.)

Ten of 'um. I can't believe I didn't get Tempest! I figured it was Sinistar.

Still can't figure out the W...
