Puzzler: Guess the video-game dragons

According to the Chinese zodiac, 2012 is the year of the dragon. To celebrate such a grandiose occasion, I dug up 10 legendary reptiles featured in classic video games. How many mystical beasts can you identify?

Hmm...Three of them were easy. The rest of them were really tough. But I really should have gotten #5. Man, Space Harrier is awesome.

Dragon #5 is my favorite. Its head is huge! Imagine how big the rest of its body is.

Lol. I still wonder why he lowers his head so that people can bash it in.

I can't believe I missed #6 either. The shape of it should have been a give-away. It even inspired Treasure, the video game company that created Gunstar Heroes, to add in dragons into the opening stage of Sin & Punishment 1. Those dragons are amazing.

Not even an axe made out of gold can harm #5. I wish I could summon a magical dragon by tossing blue urns in the air. That would have made high school a better experience.

6/10! But I wasn't very sure about #1, is that from the SNES version? I only got the series for #2.

And although I should have, I did not get #9. Bad experiences from one of the PSX versions probably clouded my memory.

A certain undying game showing up in two consecutive Puzzlers? I'll have to give it a shot someday!

Number one is from the arcade version. It can't be fun not having legs or wings...unless they live underwater, but then they can't breath fire. :/

Yes, go play the game from #7 right now. You'll think of me when you reach that dragon. :)

I like her (maybe it's a boy?) because she doesn't seem to have bones. It must feel nice to hug her...when she's not trying to kill you.

For the life of me I couldn't figure out #9! Pepno Pinky Dragon...

Pink...the fiercest type of dragon.

How can you have a list of dragons and not include the Dragon God?!

I'm saving him for the sequel.... Actually, I didn't know about the Dragon God until you mentioned it. Sounds important.

I'd say so!

I was actually thinking of all the snubs from Chrono Cross. For shame, Samir!

I must admit to a slight sad sniffle over nothing from Lunar making the list.
