Contest: Power Golf 2

Damn, looks like my theory that the phrase contained at least one Japanese word is proved false.

Yeah, I'll give you that one.  No Japanese words.

I've made significant progress with the hints.  Definitely helpful and I would have never guess most of them just by listening.  Sadly, a lot of the games I've actually never played.:oops: 

I'm stuck on 8 and 9 now.  8 was originally one that I thought I knew for sure but I just can't pinpoint it.

I think if you know it, it will come to you eventually.  Re-read my hints, they're actually pretty explicit.  #9 is definitely the one that would have been hardest for me, but I feel like the hints are good if you do a little research.

Pretty quiet on this today, anybody come up with anything new?  I will go over the hints again tomorrow probably and see what I can add, and add another secret phrase one.

Also, keep trying if you are interested in winning the Power Golf 2, a couple of our board leaders aren't interested in claiming this prize so it's still up for grabs even if they figure it out first.  Don't feel like you can't participate if you're new to the forum, I might even give you some leeway on post count if you're truly interested in the game.

I believe that I figured out the latest word scramble hint and can make second words with the remaining letters, but I still don't see anything that would form a phrase with that first word.

That's all I achieved today.

I think tomorrow's update will be a turning point for you, probably.  Check in early afternoon!

Updated OP with new info.

Unless the secret phrase contains two names, I'm still stuck at the same spot.

I'm still banging my face in the wall trying to figure out three, no, wait TWO tracks!

It is sad.

UPDATE: One damn track to figure out. I wouldn't have gotten some of these without hints, dammit.

10: Another game I've only played through a couple times and was biased against, because of my early impression of screenshots while still a Genesis fanboy.

This damn track! I will get it. Damn it.

I took a guess... But it doesn't seem correct to me.


UPDATE: I have mixing up track 9 & 10 hints.

So I totally guessed incorrectly for 10.

I HAVE LOST MY MIND.

It doesn't.

I HAVE LOST MY MIND.

You are almost there!  Sent you a PM.

I randomly stumbled upon clip 8 just on pure dumb luck.  I wasn't even searching for it when I watched a random video and instantly heard it.    

I don't think I would have got this one otherwise.  The way I was interpreting the hints for clip 8 threw me way off track. 

[Black Tiger]

Done.

Although not intentionally, I think that some of the secret phrase hints will send people in wrong directions. Unfortunately, pointing out which ones would likely be too much of a hint as well.

One hint I will give is that you won't get it unless you're more than casually familiar with these games.

That's awesome!  Gotta love when something comes to you out of the blue like that.

Oh, we're all hardcore here.  I'm hardcore.  You're hardcore.  How do I know you're hardcore?  You must be or you wouldn't have come here.   (or was that mad?)

Some of the hints are meant to be purposefully misleading, some have information withheld for future clues I had planned or if I felt like I was giving too much away, and some are outright gimmes.

Anyway... BT got it first, folks!  Good job! 

He's not claiming the prize so the game is still on!  KEEP PLAYING.

I have been trying to figure out the anagram word puzzle since yesterday.

I have many, incorrect "solutions" that involve several words.

[sunteam_paul]

I'm hoping the phrase doesn't require intimate knowledge of US versions as I never really play them.

Let me tell you, I am stumped.

Of course, I think I have a "broken brain" (creative block) and just can't move forward.

I really can't think of a single word that is 14 letters long.

But, I have conjured up ridiculous phrases that are *barely* comprehensible.

At the end of the day, I am glad that we are struggling together.
