At 1700 hours PDT I will post a link to 37 screenshots from films released during the Golden Era of arcade video games (defined by me roughly as 1978-1984,

everybody else).

You get a point for each movie you are the first to correctly identify by matching the film number (1-37) to the title.

For the member with the most points who does not already have one, I have a DK Forum t-shirt:

For the member with the most points who does already have the shirt, I have an Asus Chromebook:

(I mistakenly had one sent to me last year. I am moving and need to get rid of it. Still unopened in original Amazon shipping box.)

US members only on the Chromebook.

Game is over when all movies are identified. If I have to give hints eventually, I will.

DO NOT EDIT YOUR POSTS. IT WOULD MAKE ACCURATE SCOREKEEPING IMPOSSIBLE.

I've probably watched most of these but am horrible at this type of game. Maybe everyone else here already has a shirt and I can win with a score of 1.

#37 The Jerk

Nobody has done this, but I should have put in the first post:
