Video-game heroes travel all over the world to save princesses, win martial-arts tournaments, and collect ancient treasures. If you've been paying attention (and I know you have), you can identify games simply by looking at images of stage backgrounds. Can you name the titles that feature these pixelated environments?

#1 is unmistakeable! I actually never played it, but I remember sitting around my older brother and his friends as they tried to beat that game.
I've never been able to complete #2, so that background was lost to me.
#5 is also unmistakeable, and I did play the heck out of that one. With the code and a friend, of course.
Every single ad for #6 includes this scene. You could've gone a bit more obscure with this one. So, thanks for the point!
I was absolutely certain that I'd played and enjoyed #10, but for the life of me could not remember what game it was.
Hey, how about a puzzler for life containers?
Just 3 out of 10, but I can tell you enjoyed the puzzler. :)
You can access that particular stage from #2 (Quick Man) any time. I'll never forget it because I got killed so many times by those f***ing lasers.
Dinosaurs...never forget. I bet some people will mistake #6 for Blanka's Amazonian home.
Speaking of dinosaurs, our own Jay Henningsen made a puzzler about health bars. Check it out:

I got #3 by power of deduction: it's the only 2D Sonic I've never finished.
Couldn't put my finger on #6, but going on it's art style, I thought maybe Lion King. Boy, was I off.
I knew I was wrong on #10, but the ropes on the trees drew me to Sparkster or Rocket Knight.
Pissed I missed #7, but I gave it a good shot with FFVI.
This was a good one.
