Up to 30, but some of them have been guessed without actually recognizing the game.

I now know there's no such game as "Face/Off French Pirate" or "Old Man Eyeout Adventures"

30 - didnt think to scroll down to the bottom to pick those up

Cant work out why "shadow of the beast" isnt working .....

Pundabaya · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 5016
