And a hint for the second one you missed: thief -> ninja

Some spoilers, then:

For the first one, can you dig it?

That second one is a Disney-brand Capcom game that was actually pretty good.

It seems a lot of people are hung up on #8, though. (And yeah, I got #9 now, heh)

You're right on it's name, but not the game it's from, I hope the letter 'I' isn't too much of a hint.

Right answer, wrong question

Vanilla = Umbrella

That crown should be a hint as to what it was and what happened...

Alright, I got the evil eggplant and the seal-crown, but I'm still missing the other two...

I feel like I should know one or both, but I'm drawing a blank (I don't think I owned either of those games...)

I'm wondering how I got this, but none of you guys did. I'm one of the younger active members.

In looking at the spoiler list, I'm only surprised I missed my middle one.

The other two I haven't played/haven't cared to.

I think you guys that are getting 16/16 or whatever forget that not everyone has played everything in existence. Stop with the 'I don't believe', k? :\

I'm only missing that. I bet it's from a game only the hardcore would care about... :/

Actually, it's not...but it's not necessarily a game that's a 'rites of passage' kind of game like Super Mario Bros. and all else. Japanese acronym AD.

You could just, you know, bother to address me.

And I said so because pretty much everybody here was from Acmlm, of which was originally a rom-hacking board. And pretty much everybody who posted in this thread has been around for a decent amount of time.

In short: Don't make a big deal of it.

Anyways, I don't even own the following games, I just managed to recognize them:

I'm fairly certain it's based off of how much people were into games in the era, not necessarily "You won't get this unless you played this game."

Naw I'm pretty sure if you've never come across it before that you won't recognize it, regardless of if you were into games or not.

I only had 11 total NES games and was certainly into games back then but I played my fair share of games in emulation now that I have much more of them...but I certainly haven't run across the two that I didn't recognize otherwise I would've easily posted as such or to even pick up the boxes or see others play it to see as such.

That's my logic.
