Title: Revenge of the Distinct Blurs Returns Again

Google "Distinct Blurs" if you do not remember this challenge from the TG, CAGDC, and MARP forums. (Did one here before, too.)

I have MAME screenshots of 8 golden era arcade video games which I have shrunken to 5% height and width and then returned to full size.

Any games that are not identified at 5% will be subsequently be posted similarly but from a 10% reduction and I will continue in this manner, leaving the images clearer and clearer until all 8 are identified.

For the first member to identify a given game, I will award 20 points at 5%, 10 points at 10%, and so on.

You may only post once per round, no editing posts.

For the member with the highest point total when all games are identified (or after any unidentifed images have been posted at 100%) I have a DK Forum t-shirt:

In event of a tie, the member with the higher score on this forum's Donkey Kong high score list wins. If none of the tied participants are on the list, all will be required to meet in real life and fight to the death for the shirt. The souls of all those killed become the property of Basement Cat for all eternity.

I will respond to this post in about an hour with the 5% images.

At this level of distortion, of course. It will get easier.

No on both guesses.

The remaining images restored from 10% are worth 10 points each.


Game 3:

Game 7:

(http://www.slither-gdi.net/7game10.jpg)


Game 8:

(http://www.slither-gdi.net/8game10.jpg)


The scores so far:

20 pwnasaurus
20 VON
20 The Pro
20 marky_d
20 DaLar

Anybody's game at this point as getting all three would win it for anybody.

Two out of the remaining three would obviously clinch it for anyone already on the board.

Remember you may only post once this round. May make for some interesting strategy decisions out there.

7. Frisky Tom

The arena is empty except for one man
Still driving and striving as fast as he can
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
And long ago somebody left with the cup
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns
