Yeah, let's not pile quiz entries on top of each other.  The winner from the previous game ought to put in an entry for the next one.

And no, it's not Lords of the Rising Sun.   :wink:

Is it bubblegum crash? It looks like a red gumball that crashed into a window

Great!    :lol:

Some of the previous puzzles have been from obscure games (IMO), not necessarily tough rebuses/puzzles.  I prefer well-known, but mindbending ones.   :D

So...we have either a ball or the Japanese flag...with cracks around it.

I've been searching my site for inspiration but still can't come up with an answer! It's not a game with different titles for different countries is it?

I'll guess Hit the Ice, 'cause it kinda looks like someone hit the ice at a faceoff spot and cracked it a bit.  :roll:

Okay, it's a lame guess.  I think that we could use a hint here.  US or Japan?  CD, HuCard, or SCD?

Okay, I'm guessing that I'm right.  Here's the next one:



Legend of Mirror Country?

I was thinking for ages about the Odyssey2 one earlier - but they were called the Philips Videopac G7000 over here, forgot they were the Odyssey overseas. :D

OK, I'll give a BIG hint here.  Yes, that is the Japanese flag.  That was supposed to hint at the phonetic filter of the word.   :wink:

Zipang?

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Zipang?

I thought the same thing, but, I don't see how that connects.  I know in Far East of Eden, Japan is called Jipang or something like that....hmmm.  And I really want to win this, so I can post, what I think is a really interesting one!
