August Riddle - Clues #1

Somehow I forgot about last Friday, what a shame. So there are the clues today. Over thirty people have already joined in, I hope these hints help you out!

Hints #1:
1) Pictures 6, 8, 10 and 12 show puzzles from classic point and click adventures.
2) Number 3 also shows a puzzle, but the game (heavily advertised online) is a different genre.
3) Game 4 is an indie game (about two years old) that has won many awards.
4) The following series (or the game pictured if no series exists) were first released on mobile devices: 2, 3, 5, 7, 13, 16, 18 plus one of the last row.

Deadline is Tuesday 31 August, enter via http://www.retrogamequiz.com/

Here is the quiz again, good luck:

Got #13

And #22

[gimbal]

#13 is easy, it's #12 that stumps me. Really? That is a "puzzle from" a point & click adventure? It looks like a pervert Mario!

[Havie]

Got 13!

Looks like we are all stuck on the same ones.

I had also already worked this out but it doesn't help!

4) There is one Game Boy game in this round, and one for the Atari 2600.

[Biscuit]

I've left it really late again.

I wonder if you lot are looking at the same picture. None of those ones are easy, lol.

The Gameboy one I found by accident very early on... I didn't find a screenshot of the game directly but I found a piece of artwork with a character that sort of kind of looked like the screenshot if I used my imagination. So I popped the name in the search and what do you know, it actually was the character from the game.

The Atari 2600 one I actually found with Google images but only when I use one very specific set of search keywords and only one screenshot of it appears...

I think we all know which is the 2600 one so using your tip, I'll have another go...

Was shucked today when I was in Worthing to see a 2600 the same as mine being sold for £180 (far too much I think).

[Havie]

Got it and a few others. Only no. 16 left - pretty clueless on this one!

[Biscuit]

I happened upon what I think is 16 just looking at totally random stuff.

Got more than I thought I would. This will send me into a puzzle game fest, guaranteed.

This. I've seen SO many games that look awesome, because of this quiz. Otherwise I just don't have a reason to go looking for them.

Note to self: must not forget to submit tomorrow One last search, but I'm not hopeful... I just can't figure out a good 8 or so of them. Hard, hard, hard.

[Nobby_UK]

Played the Demo of one of these (#19)
if it came on sale (cheap) I'd buy it

[Havie]

Have just found the last one - hopefully a full house this month? Can't remember if I entered them all so will have to do so again, just in case...

[Havie]

Done - now fingers crossed!

[darkwave]

Blimey, sounds like you've all done very well this month! I think I've made it to 19. There are a few that I recognise but can't quite get there with.

[gimbal]

I locked them in, I couldn't find another one more I'm missing 3, 11, 12, 20, 21, 23, 24.

[Havie]

If you haven't recognised 2, then you've missed out on a brilliant puzzle game series. They type of car in the picture is definitely a help here.

Sounds like you've done ok - some were really obscure (too me) and took a lot of work to find. Won't be the same next month as being a headteacher, I'll be too knackered and time poor (especially as I have now got everyone excited about my Target Renegade port).
