Box Art Hunt Round 3 - Retro Games!

GameSpot's next image guessing game gives you the opportunity to reflex your retro games art knowledge in celebration of GameSpot's Video Game History month! Go on a hunt for pieces to an image clip of box art to solve the piece of the puzzle!

Here is how to participate.

1) SPOILER TAG YOUR ANSWERS to avoid having others see your answers right away. Some forum posters naturally scroll without realizing they might see the answer too early. Type spoiler, add the list of games and close the spoiler as you will see demonstrated in the code below.

[spoiler] name all 20 games here [/spoiler]

2 ) GUESSING IS OKAY, but make sure you have 20 games listed. You may have a place holder (such as investigating/still looking/finding, etc), but be sure that all 20 games are mentioned before the deadline. Otherwise, you won't be considered as an entrant for this forum activity. Note: The names of the games do NOT have to be right. That's why it's called a guessing game! You may edit your posts to change your answers before the deadline.

3) What do you get in return? You will receive the box hunt emblem if you don't already have it.

4) There is no rush for time either. You don't have to post before others so take your time to investigate each image piece. We'll run this little activity for two whole weeks. This activity ends May 31th at 4pm PT.

Now that you have read the rules, click the spoiler tag to view the images.

Figures the last one I needed was a Commodore 64 game. Was avoiding that list of games like the plague since there's over 3,000 games. Didn't help that I started going in alphabetical order either. :P [/spoiler]

We'll be slowing down on this little activity for the summer, and will likely return it in September. I'll get you all the emblems handed out some time today. Thanks for participating!

EDIT: Emblems granted to those who guessed 15 or more.
