You know how it works. With the help of each other, try to figure out all of the disguised video game covers. They all share a common theme that, once solved, can help you figure out the harder ones. This week has a few easy puzzles and a few difficult ones, but it's got a pretty odd theme, so it might take you slightly longer than usual to piece them all together. Good luck!

Easy #1 looks like some kind of Harvest Moon game.

I suck at these. :(

i think the theme may be words describing human anatomy: body (harvest), hand (of god), (nfl) head (coach), (harvest moon:) back (to nature)

Yep, Calla got the theme - it's body parts. So far these are the ones that have been solved:

Easy 1
Easy 2
Medium 1
Medium 2

Although, both Hard 1 and Hard 2 are still unsolved. They still might give you some trouble, good luck!

OK so Hard 1 looks like a fighter of some kind...I know I have seen it before, but it isn't coming to me.

And by the way, Hard 1 has NOTHING to do with BUTT Ugly Martians.

I so TOTALLY thought I had it!!

Any games out there with WANG in the title?

Dick Tracy for the NES would have been the ultimate hard answer...

Hard 1 is Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, the Japanese box art?

Wait, have we still not solved this? Everytime i see these sections they are already solved by the time i get here.

Mwahahahaha. No one has gotten Hard #1 yet :) Have I finally stumped you guys with a hard enough theme? hehehe

it's not dead rising, is it? the only way that would work is if you're thinking in a perverted way... and that thing at the top looks like a dolphin!

Nope, not dead rising

Looks like Hard #1 is either A) Some type of FOOTball game for the NES.
But the closest match I can think is EyeToy Antigrav?

looks like you got it

but just in case
lego starwars 1 ?
lego starwars 2?

I don't think so, it doesn't match quite. The shape is practically square, and the slight difference in height suggests that it's DC, because of the thicker margin on the DC cases, but i'm really only speculating... what we know though is that it's either DC, PSone, DS or GBA...
UglyDuck's Avatar - Comment posted on 04/17/2007 21:15

Incidentally, how would any of those suggestions tie in with the theme?
UglyDuck's Avatar - Comment posted on 04/17/2007 21:16

oh yeah, i suppose eye toy. sorry. I thought that myself actually, so it was stupid of me to question it really...

Yeah, i realised that as soon as i pressed "add Comment". What a whopping great dam of stupid i've unleashed on the internet today. *sigh*

Unless Fronz did one hell of a crappy job drawing up the cover, I'd say EyeToy Anti Grav is OUT of the running. Not to mention PART of the cover would have to be mirrored...

I can't believe this thing still isn't solved.
Fronz's Avatar - Comment posted on 04/18/2007 00:55
Fronz
Nope, it STILL hasn't been guessed yet. I'll give you a hint though, the part of the body it involves is a part that's already been used by one of the other game cover titles. Scroll up to DinnertimeNinja's list of body parts at his 23:45 comment. One more hint - it's not cocks :)

Oh that is just NOT fair. You used the same body part twice? Come on, at least stick with the formula...
Nintendragon's Avatar - Comment posted on 04/18/2007 07:27
Nintendragon
I was totally ruling out using the same one twice as well...

elsux0r's Avatar - Comment posted on 04/18/2007 13:01
elsux0r
Well, he could have NOT used the same body part twice - but the theme wasn't "different body parts," implying that the all were different, but "body parts." Shit, I would've run out of ideas after the first three O_o

Back to Stone, without a doubt. Well done, elsux0r. I feel so crappy that he had to give a hint.
