An Atypical Life

ARRRRGGGHHHHH, I’ve gotten all but E H I O T V W…

I KNOW I have seen W before… I was never a driving game fan so T doesn’t leap out… and I’m wracking my brain thinking about H, ’cause I can envision the cabinet. GAAAAAHHHH.

Be sure to hide spoilers behind a <span style=”color: black; background: black”> tag :) :) :)

You’re way ahead of me, but at least I got ‘t’ - it’s Out Run! I’ve been playing Out Run 2 a lot recently, so it looked familiar.

ZAXXON!

I can envision almost ALL of the units, but I just can’t corrolate the font with the title!

Q still upsets me. Badly-formatted answer on their part…

P.S. — I == Centipede. Drove me nuts too. :-)

I don’t give any answers away…

E:

This one is patently unfair.
Very rare game, not a shooter, not a driving game, 1982.
Two words, E is in the second word.

H:

There was a lawsuit that caused this game to be renamed.
Two words, H is the start of the second word.

I: someone gave this away already.

O:

Body blow! Body blow! Left, right, left, right, left, right…

T: someone gave this away too…

V:

Quit clownin’ around. A rare game as well.
Think of synonyms for places where you might find clowns.

W:

Like J — more famous in other media, not video games. You’ll kick yourself over this one.

I got 10 right.. which is more than I expected to get..

I’m completely stumped with only four to go: E, H, J, and Y.

Damn you, Wohali! I’ve been staring at the screen for more than an hour! I’m dying over here.

Update: After about four hours and multiple attempts, I finally got H.

Only three more to go. Figure I should be done by Wednesday at noon if I don’t get any sleep.

Once again, damn you, Wohali!

Just lucked into E too, it seems.

I managed to get all but E and J. I swear I recognize E from somewhere, but I don’t recall having ever seen J.

Hint for Y: The protagonist of this game is good for pointing.

J:

Like W.
Not the president.
More famous in other media.
Think album cover.

Y:

Cute!
Chasing…
Last letter of the title.

E is totally rare, but I’ll give one more hint:

They used to play this game a lot on the competitive video game TV show Starcade.

See my J hints above.

E is so rare that I’ve never played it, so I don’t have any clues to give away. I only found it through exhaustive research.

I’ve finally put this ugly chapter of my life behind me. I have the tendency to get a little too obsessive when it comes to quizzes. No more, please!

But thanks for the help. I wouldn’t have gotten the last three without you.
