I guessed number ten by comparing the choices to the blurred text. Maybe use a black bar, instead? Anyway, very entertaining puzzle. Number six surprised me a little, and I should have known number nine.

You are absolutely right. It's a complete giveaway. :/ Wait, let me fix that....

Three out of 10. I probably could have gotten #10 though. I'd seen that ad before. Dang, Samir got rid of the hint.

You sure fooled me with #6.

I'm still not sure what to do with a #2 peripheral.

I'd hate to be the creature in #1. How does it go potty? Or maybe it is potty.

Haha, it's clearly an overhead shot. Just kidding.

I can just imagine the marketing plan meeting for that advertisement.

"We want to make this appeal to little kids."

"Why don't we just use a really weird two-legged monster with a head where the crotch should be? In purple? After all, kids love bright colors."

"I don't mind that idea, but--"

"Great! Let's do it!"

"......"

6/10. I've seen all of these, but it goes to show you how little those ads had to do with the games, because I can't remember what they go with.

I really like #9. Only a vicious alien invader would dare eat an original Game Boy.

I figured this would be right up my alley. But you have some tricky ones.

Missed 1, 3, 4, 8

Did you randomly guess #7 or do you actually remember that disturbing ginger fellow?
