    Default CONTEST! Starcade Name The Game! Cool prize!

    Hey gang!

    While watching "Starcade" on G4 the other day, I recalled how cool the "Name the Game" part was. They'd show the contestant a few screens of a videogame and they had to identify what game it was. So I thought this would make for a fun contest.

    Before I reveal the contest, here's the prize you'll be competeing for:

    Starcade presents Dragon's Lair - This OOP video is the special all-Dragon's Lair episode. (Grand prize was a Dragon's Lair video game too!) Also contains commercials, hints, and a DL playthrough. This video was released by JM Productions and is no longer available.

    Now then, the contest. Below are 9 snippets I've taken from classic arcade videogames. If you identify all 9 of them, you can then use their names to somehow spell out a *10th* classic video game (unpictured). The first person who can solve this little puzzle and post the name of the "10th" videogame to this thread wins the tape. That's all there is to it. Good luck!

    *Sigh* A game that took me an hour to put together gets solved in 35 minutes.

    Yup, Mayhem breaks the landspeed record and wins the Starcade tape. "Bump-N-Jump" is the 10th "hidden" game. How did he solve it? Here's how:

    The 9 game snippets are:
    Bubbles
    Up-N-Down
    Mappy
    Pole Position
    Night Driver
    Journey
    Us Vs. Them
    Marble Madness
    Pleiades

    Take a look at the first letters to get the 10th "hidden" game. Mayhem, PM me your address and I'll fire the (VHS) tape off to you. Congrats!

    I always check the DP boards just before going home from work... around 5pm my time (or 11am EST currently). Hence right place right time for once!
