Altered Beast was Kick ass man!

prolly should remove all of these and give people at least a few hours/a day to complete it for themselves??

I know the entire list, but will post it later :

Ah yes this sure takes you back, although i cnat remeber half of the names i sure remember playin most of them. Altered beast was a mad game and street fighter was another hevay time consumer, although im still wiating for a new version which actually looks like its had some effort put into its creation. Mortal kombat, now there was another huge game.

I remember getting a buzz out of that fighting game 7 down in the middle (no names :P ) because it and another classic at the time, Crime Wave, had REAL sound through the pc speaker, instead of your normal blips etc etc. Had a 286 at the time and the old adlib card was hella expensive and still didn't play voices or real effects.

I got most of them - same as everyone else it was getting the name right. I think there were only about four that I didn't play (the sports ones basically).

just open the spreadsheet with your trusty old text editor to get all the answers if stuck

its a technique ive used on many occaisions to impress my co-workers by filling in the "guess the moofie/song/tv show" spreadsheet in record time and getting them all right;
