Escape from the Planet of the Distinct Blurs
« on: July 10, 2018, 07:53:12 pm »


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

I have MAME screenshots of 12 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 12 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 tomorrow (Wednesday July 11) at about 9PM US Eastern Daylight Time with the 5% images.

There was something eating everyone
And the sunshine fund was low

Nicely tried, but unfortunately incorrect.
