Ok, here are some pics, some are easy some are... not so easy. The catch is, when (if) all the games are identified, it'll be nice if someone can identify the running theme (there's a very clear one that will be OBVIOUS if you know what it is). So here goes! Have fun! :lol

[john tv]

I been thinking of starting a Wizardry thread... I want to know more about the series. Perhaps this will be the catalyst?

 

[anotheriori]

X ogre battle (?), R balloon fight, H ages of empires, C .... Murder Club?

 

[Barnimal]

beaten by above poster

 

[duckroll]

Tetris is wrong. And yeah, Jackfrost has the right idea, please identify what you're identifying, it'll make it easier for people that can see the theme to see it. Thanks!

 

[einhard]

j. Ultima Online

 

[ElyrionX]

Hey duckroll, check your PM...

 

[duckroll]

X ogre battle (?), R balloon fight, H ages of empires, C .... Murder Club?

Correct, good going for Orge Battle!

 

[johnjohnson]

D Pools of Radiance (?)
H is Age of Empires

 

[Kiriku]

I recognize B...looks like that old strategy game for Amiga...something with Island.

And also, I think I understand the other thing we're supposed to "see".

 

[ElyrionX]

ooh, elevator action, nightwarriors, the getaway, balloon fight, chrono trigger...

I have played through Chrono Trigger a total of four times and I don't see anything that even remotely looks like CT in there......

 

[The Faceless Master]

Chrono Trigger? Where? :lol

well then, i guess X is something else..

mode 7 + fireworks + bad memory = wrong answer

 

[johnjohnson]

D Pools of Radiance (?)
H is Age of Empires

No, D is not Pools of Radiance. But it's a SSI game. Of that I'm sure

 

[JackFrost2012]

D Pools of Radiance (?)

edit: his confusion was self-recognized

 

[duckroll]

Another note. I don't accept Point Blank as the answer (for technical reasons). :lol

 

[john tv]

Isn't C JB Harold's Murder Club?

 

[ElyrionX]

If not Point Blank, then Gunbullet...

 

[ferricide]

japanese titles for sake of completion:

A is vampire hunter: darkstalkers' revenge
K is d no shokutaku
M is sorcerian

 

[Shaheed79]

Heh, I just figured out what all these games have in common. They all pre-date RE4......

 

[DDayton]

I'm probably wrong, but S reminds me of Second Sight.

I'm curious as to what W and C are.

 

[john tv]

Heh, I just figured out what all these games have in common. They all pre-date RE4......

So do about 99% of all games in existence... your point?

 

[M3wThr33]

Dual word titles.

 

[duckroll]

japanese titles for sake of completion:

A is vampire hunter: darkstalkers' revenge
K is d no shokutaku
M is sorcerian

Correct, correct, wrong. Good going!

 

[Shaheed79]

S to the a to the r to the c to the a to th......... :lol

 

[Greenpanda]

I is Civilization III

 

[lexi]

I think H is Ceasar 2 by Sierra. I looks like Civ2.

 

[Greenpanda]

I think H is Ceasar 2 by Sierra. I looks like Civ2.

Nah, Civ II had all the displays on the right side of the screen ... it's Civ III, I think, unless it's actually Call to Power.

 

[Greenpanda]

oh shit, i just checked Google and it IS Call to Power. Change my answer for I to Civilization: Call to Power not Civ III

 

[john tv]

duckroll ignored my JB Harold's Murder Club answer!

 

[lexi]

Hmm, change my answer from Caesar 2 to Caesar. I have no idea, give me an aswer duckroll!

 

[duckroll]

duckroll ignored my JB Harold's Murder Club answer!

Oh sorry, yeah it is!

oh shit, i just checked Google and it IS Call to Power. Change my answer for I to Civilization: Call to Power not Civ III

Ding ding ding!

 

[Greenpanda]

Alex, I'd like to solve the puzzle.

The running theme is

Spoiler

there is one game name starting with each letter of the alphabet
