21 out of 40. Hmm...I thought I'd know a lot more than that. Some of them I've seen but I can't remember what game it is.

I got 36 of them.
Numbers 27, 31, 36, and 39 are bugging me because I have probably played them.

I got 26. I have no idea what a few of those are.
Here's a hint on the Bomberman thing: what is Bomberman but isn't Bomberman?

What happens if you get them all?
And is there a link to the answers somewhere?
I'm curious, I've only correctly answered 15 of the 40, with another 7-8 on the tip of my tongue, I think some I've just misspelled, but don't feel like going back to recheck. Alot of them are PC games, some had console releases as well, but the bulk of them started out on PC or computers of some sort. Maybe only 3-4 that were console games later ported to PC.

I got 27/40.
Some of the games look very familiar, but I just can't remember the names. What the heck is 38?

Well I've got all I'm gonna get. Anyone want to PM me the 10 I've got listed up there? Some of them are really familiar but I know I'm never going to remember.

Sorry, I meant the words, not the smiley. You get another guess. :D

Eh, I got 18. Still not bad for a 16 year old, when a lot of these games were popular, I was still pissing the bed.

I am an amazing guesser. I got 22/40. I've only actually played, maybe 7 of those games.

F***ing ponderous? CAme from the same guy who said:
"Zoinks Scoob!"
"Holy halibut Batman!"
and "This is our Long-Distance dedication..."
I listen to Stern too. He plays that clip a lot.

Wow, some of you guys seroiusly know your stuff. I only got 7 outta 40. I thought I knew the Bomberman one, but I guess not. I thought it was Super Bomberman 2.

34 out of 40. Not bad, huh?
The ones I can't quite get:
18 22 27 29 31 36
A few of them I know, I think... (especially 27!)

you dont have to type in the full title, ie you can leave out the 3 in Mortal Kombat 3

I got 26/40 but a few I knew but it didn't count because I typed the full title and it only wanted the abbreviated title *cough* #3 *cough*. On another I put 3 instead of III and it didn't count it either. I still did good IMO. I never knew I would of guessed all those PC games.

Jeez, is Howard still playing that clip? I haven't listened to him in years, but that's where I heard it originally.

Hmm...9/40. :(
I couldn't come up with a few also. Even if I did, It would still be a very unimpressive score.

Thanks for the answers....man I can't BELIEVE I couldn't figure some of those out....after I finally got up close on 27 and stared I made out their "heads" and immediately knew what it was, argh, how dumb, one of my favorite games. I'm very surprised I missed 39 as well considering how much I play the later games....I knew the name with the number looked familiar...

Yay, 35/40 on first try. They're all computer games, so I had a little more chance than usual on those quizzes ;)
