Throughout the history of this blog, we’ve regularly changed the header at the top of the page. Below you can see all of the many different headers in all their glory, but can you guess which games they’re from? Some are games that have already been featured on the blog, but most of them haven’t (and one isn’t even a game at all, but I’m guessing you’ll figure that out pretty quickly). There’s some fairly obscure games in here, so we’d be frankly astounded if anyone gets all of them. Click on the comment button at the bottom of the post to register your guesses, and good luck!
Oh, and anyone who does particularly well might even receive a highly coveted 101 Video Games pencil!*

*Despite originating as a joke on a post way back in September 2010, these do actually exist now (listen to the 2010 Christmas Special). Pencils will be awarded based on the whim and fancy of the authors.

Surely if I post my answers here others will use them to complete their own list and thus receive one of those outstanding pencils!
You’ll just have to whisper your answers so no-one else will hear – try typing really small.
To be honest though, we’re very much approaching this from the primary-school mentality of marking – points will be awarded based on ‘effort’ rather than completeness. There are a few really obscure games in there – I reckon Header 21 is worth a pencil by itself…

Wow Chris, I make that 26 out of 33, brilliant stuff! Turrican, Golden Axe and Fighting Vipers were actually their sequels, but I think we can let you off. A pencil will be heading your way, just send your address to 101videogames at gmail dot com. I’m impressed you got Z, didn’t think anyone would get that one!
But can anyone get the rest? More pencils up for grab!
Z was brilliant!! gotta love the Bitmap Brothers era! To be fair Fighting Vipers and Fight Vipers 2 were both built in the same engine and both contained the characters shown (Bahn and Picky). I was almost going to guess Fighters Megamix as well.
Come on people I need to know what 4, 8 and 12 are!!
Looking forward to that pencil!
Hello you guys, only discovered this blog recently and think it’s great. Lots of great memories…
7 is the only one I can get that’s not been got before – its Walker. Classic.
Nick
