As a kid, do you remember going to the video-game section of a department store and staring at all the glorious cover illustrations? Fun times. Now you get to do it again, and while you’re looking at box art, why not guess which titles these snippets belong to?


Episode 6

Need some hints? See below.

 
  1. Elvis was here.
  2. An alien invasion on the go.
  3. Astro Boy wannabe.
  4. Black blood cleanup on aisle 5.
  5. I want to be with my boyfriend, but I have to babysit…HELP!
  6. Old rivalries die hard.
  7. Like Pac-Man, but with killer robots and spiders.
  8. Are you sure this isn’t a Bomberman game?
  9. Japan was a dangerous place during the 16th century.

Check out the answers on page two.

Isn't #8 adorable?

I only got 3 as well. #1, #4 and #5. The hints were fun.

I thought this one was a lot easier than the last but then I own 7 and 9 which might be considered difficult by most.

Unless you're a collector of vintage video games, you may be older than our own Dan Shoe.

I played those games when I was a kid but I'm not as old as Shoe :) I'm only 36.

No one is as old as Shoe....

Only 5/10. You're history's greatest monster.

I added the full box art on page two to further fuel your frustration. :)

Your hints didn't help very much. 3/10. Lol.

Hehe. The hints are the best. Elvis WAS here.

I knew the game, but I thought, is that really supposed to be a hint? Lol. The hint for #5 was my favorite, though.

Well, according to the tags theres a Pac-Man and a Bomberman in there somewhere.

Only got 1, 4 and 5. You picked some obscure stuff, kudos! Never even heard of #9. Curiosity piqued. Were these all games you've played before?

The more obscure, the better. The only games I've never played are 7 and 8. Number 9 is pretty good, but very challenging. The Sega Master System had some pretty decent games that many people have never even heard of. :(
