The Challenging Stage: One Part Marketing for Tron Sequel, One Part Cool Game Knowledge Test

Tron Legacy hits theaters this Christmas (nowhere-near soon enough!), but to get us hyped for this day of greatness, Arcade Aid (a fake-company site that offers to repair old Tron and Space Paranoids arcade machines) has given us a great way whet our appetites for this (hopefully) kick-ass and long-awaited sequel.

By visiting the Flynn Lives website, you will be directed to a puzzle with visual representations of 56 video games titles. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to identify all of them so you can get your very own special edition Encom I.D. badge in the mail!

The game itself is actually a great way to test your knowledge of video game titles. For example, the letters "OUT" running down the street is obviously Out Run. This seems to be one of the few ways geeks with an encyclopedic knowledge of worthless information can use their intellect to win a cool prize -- so get crackin'!

These puzzle pictures were one of my favorite things in EGM. Love it!

Who-hoo!!  It took a few hours (read: all night an part of the morning), but I got all of them.  I wonder if I should be proud or ashamed....

@Dustin: Be proud!  I quit at 32 and looked up a solution.

I did this a few weeks ago and got them all in under two hours :) Admittedly, I needed a little help on a couple of obscure games I'm not familiar with. My co-worker finished it a little faster than I did and gave me a few hints. I didn't log in though so maybe I should try it again.
