Let's play "Name That Burn-In!"

FULL STORY ======================================================================

As I was writing The Definitive History of Screensavers - Part 1 , I ended
up needing to look at lots and lots of pictures of CRT monitors with burn-in.

A whole heck of a lot of them were burned because of video games.

Lets see what could do with a bunch of monitors with arcade and video game burn-in? What to do what to do

*snaps fingers* Got it. Lets play Name That Burn-In!

The rules are simple. Look at each of the following pictures of CRT
monitors. Then figure out what video game was being played on each one. And then, you know, give yourself a point for each one you get right. Two points if there are two games on the screen. Then score yourself. Because Im feeling lazy.

Ok, I didnt really think this out at all. But check out these old monitors. Thats some crazy burn.

CRT #1 I mean that one is pretty obvious. Because it literally says the name.

CRT #2 Waka waka.

CRT #3 Whenever I said the name of this game as a kid I held up my hand with my finger bent like a hook. Then I talked like a pirate.

CRT #4 Hint: This one is not Super Mario Bros.

CRT #5 You know. Now that you mention it I could eat.

CRT #6 So many of these.

CRT #7 Part of this one threw me off for a moment.
