    These things are addictive, was up to around 30 before I tried to register and everything got reset :(

    Also seems to be part of a viral campaign for Tron Legacy. Not sure how it connects, but hey its fun.

    Indeedie (new film looks surprisingly excellent by the way). Just wondering if the game is part of some larger viral 'game' though, as is often the way with these things. According to google, it is :pac:
    30

    Edit: Something weird happens when you get thirty... Best hint I'd give is to just say the things you see aloud, alot of them are fairly literal. Although admittedly I just guessed some of them (Burger Time?). Smash TV is the hardest one I've gotten so far!

    Taking a proper look at this now, (not distracted by things like work) and I'm up to 28.

    Most proud of numbers 14 and 55 :)

    I'm surprised so many people are having trouble with
    Balloon Fight
    . Really fun NES game, always thought it was fairly well known!

    Did anyone else really want 20 to be
    Halo 3 as opposed to Halo
    ? Missed opportunity :pac:

    Haha, I'm up to 37 on this one now. #50 I just wasn't grasping but had said pretty much everything but what it was. Some of them are so simple (yet games you don't know) that you really gotta just say what you see. Still pretty stumped now at the moment on the final 19.

    I think the first few people to solve it as part of the viral campaign get sent a package with more virally stuff in it (not anthrax, but some sort of fake ID to further the game). I'm sure they only did it for the first few people to finish it though. Those alternate reality games are pretty crazily in-depth.

    you mean I missed my chance to bomb around in light cycles in a secret tron-world
