Title: Distinct Blurs 7: Distincter and More Blurry

Google "Distinct Blurs" if you do not remember this challenge from this and the TG, CAGDC, and MARP forums.

I have MAME screenshots of 10 golden era (1978-1984) 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 subsequently be posted similarly but from a 10% reduction and I will continue in this manner, leaving the images clearer and clearer until all 10 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 earliest membership on this forum wins. If the senior-most members registered on the same date, they 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 tonight (Thursday March 21) at about 9PM US Eastern Daylight Time with the 5% images.

Still anybody's game, but if nobody else identifies a 20-pointer, the best anybody other than Barra and BBH could do would be a tie.

I'll post the 10% images for 10 points each about the same time tonight.

1. Moon Shuttle
6. Rip-off
10. Kozmik Kroozr

All three are correct.

Not convenient to update the scoreboard right now, but obviously that's 60 points and a tie. BBH is senior to you, so you won't be able to kill him for the shirt. At least...you know...not within the rules of the contest.

Moon Shuttle and Kozmik Krooz'r I can actually understand, but it can only be a DECA 2006 flashback that made you hit on Rip Off.

Thank you Flobeamer for ending these competitions.  For once you made Weehawk feel like how I feel every time I see one of these competitions.  I look at it, and then very quickly go, "I give up."
So seeing these competitions where I have absolutely no shot at winning being taken away is a welcome relief.
So thanks again Flobeamer.  8)

This.  This is how I feel.

I've played thousands of games, and I've verified thousands more, and I can't get one, single, freaking one, ever.  I can't do those Magic Eye books either.  I'm dumb.

Correct for 10 points.

8. Rougien

Correct for 10 points.

And that wraps it up with BBH and The Pro tied at 60. BBH being senior on the forum, wins the tie-breaker.

PM me your address and size. I think I only have M,L, and XL at this point.
