Can you identify the video games from small sections of their box art? Answers should be the specific game's name, not just the name of the series. I realize that some games have different covers in different territories, but whatever. Have fun.

16 = Sonic 2 (?)

Kind of sad how many I knew right away.

Also not sure if 19 is Halo 2 or 3

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #10 on:** August 15, 2011, 10:41:49 PM »

19. I want to say Halo 2? If not, one of the other Halos, probably 3.

Mr. Beale · « **Reply #11 on:** August 15, 2011, 10:49:03 PM »

17. Mega Man 3

Can't place the last one

Pols Voice · « **Reply #12 on:** August 15, 2011, 10:51:01 PM »

Only one left! I'll have to make the next one more difficult.

ehra · « **Reply #13 on:** August 15, 2011, 10:54:37 PM »

Looks vaguely familiar, but I've got no idea.

As a side note, does everyone else really not know Earthbound? Or did you guys just not list it because it had already been mentioned?

Dimitrius · « **Reply #14 on:** August 15, 2011, 10:56:19 PM »

22. Black Ops

Know the game, didn't recognise the art.

It took me a bit to realize it was Earthbound, which brings me to shame since it's one of my all-time favourite games.

Pols Voice · « **Reply #17 on:** August 15, 2011, 11:00:38 PM »

EarthBound is one of my favorite games ever.

Both. Don't know it (I just know the annoying little butterball in Super Smash), and even if I did, I never repeat answers that are already given.

Pols Voice · « **Reply #19 on:** August 15, 2011, 11:03:44 PM »

ehra, did you have Shadow of the Colossus in your post originally, or edit that in? I want to make sure to credit the right person for answering first.

ehra · « **Reply #20 on:** August 15, 2011, 11:05:29 PM »

Most of the answers in my post were quickly edited in as I went back to pick out the rest I knew. I'm pretty sure I had the whole thing finished before anyone else posted, but it's not really a big deal either way.

edit: SotC was the last one I edited in, so if Crimson got his post in while I was editing then that would have been one he beat me to. I'd just leave the listing as it is.

Pols Voice · « **Reply #21 on:** August 15, 2011, 11:07:55 PM »

I'll give you and The King in Crimson co-credit.

It's early to give hints (the album cover game sometimes takes several days to finish), but I'll just say that 22 isn't an obscure game series.

So I wasn't right in saying it was Black Ops?

Well, I failed. Whos up for round 2?

No because Black Ops is 23

Um...23 is Black Ops, but that was already answered correctly.

Correct. Which one, though?

I was looking at the wrong number!

That 22 looks like it's a Japanese game.

I don't play Kirby games, but after doing some hunting, it's Kirby's Adventure!
