Star Castle
Stratovox
Super Cobra
Targ
Spectar
I'm thinking Star Castle, Targ, Super Cobra and Spectar needed places.

Stratovox, like most of the games you've named that didn't make it, was on my original list and was removed to get down to 100. -2

You can't put 10 pounds of fertilizer in a 5-pound bag.

Net is 2.

Bump 'n' Jump
Congo Bongo
Mario Bros - yes I know there is no space to fill in, but clearly a gross oversight :)

Congo Bongo is correct.

No on Mario, and #10 is the other possibility, not Bump n Jump. -4

Net is -3.

I almost feel guilty counting 1942, Bagman, and Mario Bros against you since they have already been eliminated...oh wait.. Mario Bros was you in the first place. Hypersports didn't make it either. -8

Bubbles, Domino Man (shame on you, Don!), and Donkey Kong 3 are correct.

Net is -5.

I might not even put Domino Man on my *own* top 100 list! And with the -2 penalty for guessing wrong, I had to be more careful with my guesses.

Out of curiosity, why?

I remember it being a popular game, and while it isn't exactly my type of game, I consider it an important title from the Golden Era.

Also, it's uniqueness, the fact that it doesn't fall into any cookie cutter mold, increases its standing in my eyes.

Well, I did say "might not"...

Now, don't get me wrong, I do like the game (obviously) but I never considered it to be that popular back in the day. One arcade in my home town had it for about two months and then I never saw it again until Funspot got one a few years back.

And I have to leave in less than an hour. Also, Beejay is being a wimp by not trying to get some of the final selections :lol: :lol: :lol:
