Nobody really got into this when I posted it a few months ago, so I'll offer an incentive.

For each letter of the alphabet I have selected a videogame with that letter in its title. Below are the letters cropped from an image of each game's marquee:

I have also pulled a sound bite from from each game:

"a" sound, "b" sound, "c" sound, "d" sound, "e" sound, "f" sound, "g" sound,
"h" sound, "i" sound, "j" sound, "k" sound, "l" sound, "m" sound, "n" sound,
"o" sound, "p" sound, "q" sound, "r" sound, "s" sound, "t" sound, "u" sound,
"v" sound, "w" sound, "x" sound, "y" sound, "z" sound

Whoever PM's me with the most correct games identified by letter before midnight GMT (a little over 12 hours from this posting) gets a Golden Era Game of the Week t-shirt:

Ties will be broken by earliest submission.

I will post periodically with the highest number received thus far to avoid unnecessary PM's.

I'm doing this on two different forums. Same person can't win both.

Please don't post answers to this thread until after midnight GMT. (That's 8 PM Eastern Daylight Time in the U.S., 7 PM Central etc...)

25 out of 26 has been achieved.

I can see I'm going to have to come up with something more difficult next time.

Tapper marquee:

Does anything in that marquee look like the "T" in the quiz?

Heh

T sound is very similiar to Tapper.

Kuba made the same mistake, so even if I gave you credit for it, it wouldn't affect the outcome.

Kuba has marquee for rbtapper. He thought that because it's Tapper clone he write main set title - Tapper.
