This is a game of kings. Try to pick something iconic or recognizable on the cover, a grey splotch from CoD Ghost probably won’t be much fun for anyone to guess. If the guess is right I’d recommend a macro shot so people can marvel at the full art work together. You know the drill, help your boys and girls out if they’re struggling. What I’ll do, or anyone can do, is if it’s been a day or two without guesses, post in here asking if someone wants to take a crack at it. If not, feel free to post another image. We aren’t keeping score or anything. If the poster wants it guessed on, they’ll probably be posting hints. Also if someone guessed it and hasn’t posted the next one, again, tag them and see if they want to post an image, if non responsive jump in if you like.

lol I actually thought this one would be too easy so I went pretty small. I'll post a less cropped pic fairly soon if nobody gets it.

The only thing I could think of with a island of some sort was Solstice, but that ain't it

I’ll be honest, I had to scroll through a lot of covers to find it. LOL

It's not really a common cover and definitely a choice crop

I really thought y'all would get that one quickly. Whenever I think I have a hard one, y'all guess it almost immediately, but when I think it's easier, it ends up being too hard lol

From a different spot on the same cover. It’s a horizontally scrolling *arcade* style shooter.

It’s on a bit of a niche console. We’re made well aware that the games size is 46 MEGS!

Oh, snap! That's NAM-1975. It's a ton and one o' fun! Though, I didn't recognize it at first 'cause the lady's chest and leg weren't covered up with indelible black marker. wink

Nope! Here's a hint.

It first released to arcades back in 1978 and was later ported to popular home consoles of its time, which is where this box art's derived.


If nobody gets it from this hint, I'll toss out an unmistakable super-hint sometime tomorrow afternoon. wink

Is it tomorrow afternoon already? winking raspberry

It's widely considered the grandfather of the modern "shoot 'em up" genre and still has compilations and re-imagined re-releases dropping onto modern-day consoles. Shoot the spaceship that flies around at the top for crazy-good bonus points. Now, let's all go watch that one episode of Futurama where Fry saves the Earth with the help of a Rush mixtape and a bottle of Shasta!

Nobody? I thought this would be a quick one. I can't really show more than that without giving away major information. Here's a clue instead: it released on Switch/PS4/XB1.

Dang, I actually thought this one was gonna be too easy. Oh, well. HINT TIME...or, should I say, "Hint.Time."

Yep, the squished-together words separated only by punctuation is the hint. wink
