Here's a word search with a twist. It would be far too easy if I just gave you a list of words to find, so I'm giving you clues instead. Once you figure out the answers, see if you can find them in the word search puzzle. Or, if you're feeling particularly masochistic, find the answers in the word search first and then match them to the appropriate clues. Good luck!

 

 

 

Clues:

1)  The tagline on this 1998 adventure title reads: "An epic tale of crime and corruption in the Land of the Dead."
2)  The original name of this arcade classic was "Highway Crossing Frog."
