Considering I probably played video games the most back when all these titles were new, I have to say I'm surprised at how much better you guys know about them than I do. :o

All I know is that #8 is NOT Terminal Velocity. HUD's totally different. That, and that #3 are X-Wing: Tie Fighter and #19 is Blood (although I wish you used a cap of the "spit out flames through a lighter" weapon over a fucking nail).
