    The only thing I could come up with for 7 and Metroid is you made 7 screen transitions. :dunno:

    I got 7 from the # of enemies he froze but did not kill...The issue here is that there are too many things going on giving a lot of possibilities...

    Ding Ding Ding!

    That game was the hardest too. I tried to show that I was getting the ice gun to let people know it was key, but I guess I made it too hard.

    Would Tetris be J then? That's the number of blocks that fell without clearing a line.

    My guess for an answer is Gamecube.

    It's another Nintendo console, and one that a lot of people seemed to really like. I might have to analyze a few of the games a bit closer to get some more concrete information to this guess, but the few I have in mind are the 7 frozen enemies in Metroid for the g, you only cleared 1 stage of the bonus game in Kirby for the a, and your statistics in Tetris added up to 21 for the u.

    I'm a little bummed that no one got it, but apparently I made it way too hard.

    The word I was looking for was...... guardian.

    Ninja Gaiden(u) - I used my sword 21 times. I tried using it when there were no enemies around to give a clue that it was important.

    Tetris(a) - I solved 1 line. I was playing crappy on purpose to leave a clue also. No one plays tetris that badly.

    Megaman 4(d) - It was right in the title. It was the only game with a number in it. The only mistake I could have seen coming was someone thinking it was the 8 bosses.

    Metroid(g) - As mike said, it was the number of enemies I froze but did not kill. I showed myself getting the ice gun as the clue.

    Castlevania(n) - I hit 14 candles with the whip. This one didn't really have any clues, sorry.

    Solar Jetman(I) - I chose that code because it brought me to level 9, as it shows right at the top of the screen. Since there was almost no gameplay, I thought it was obvious.

    Kirby(a) - I got 1 hat from the quick draw game. I lost so obviously on purpose, thinking it would make people suspect that there had to be a reason for it.

    Ghosts 'N Goblins(r) - Simple, I killed 18 enemies. What else could it really be?

    I guess I went a little too far with the difficulty. I really wanted someone to win too.:sad:

    Huh. Well, I doubt I'd have ever figured that out. ^_^;

    I'll see what I can do. I want it to be hard, but not impossible. Being that my IQ is probably much lower than most people here, I thought someone would get this.

    Don't think like this about yourself!
    The middle IQ has been set at 101, but the stats of my coutry shown 87-93 in 2011.
    So no complaining about your inteligence. The last riddle was hard, and i know you can make an harder one. If you an create a riddle of such a difficullty, i'm positive your IQ is higher than mine.

    Only got 4 right. Did better than I thought at least. I kept second guessing myself with a lot of these

    P?: Ninja Gaiden: 16 enemies killed. (Having the word be scrambled made me guess so many different things. Otherwise, I would have guessed 21 slices.)
    A: Tetris: 1 line made. (Nobody plays that terribly.)
    H?: Megaman: 8 characters to select (Uhg. I don't even.)
    G: Metroid: 7 enemies were frozen, but not killed. (I got this before Mike, but I tried keeping a secret. ;) )
    N: Castlevania: 14 candles hit. (Correct. Dang.)
    ?: Solar Jetman: 12 letters in select, stage 9 (Darnit, I got the 9.)
    O?: Kirby: 15 Milliseconds. (Too improbable for it to be the number.)
    ?: Ghosts n' Goblins: (I didn't even know. Money bags? Enemies? Spears thrown? Meh.)

    This was going to be my guesses (with parenthesis of why it would be incorrect). I didn't even know the word was scrambled either.

    The worst part was that it was scrambled. This is the thing that really screwed me up, as like Mike, I kept second guessing myself.


    Now that we know what to expect, I'm not sure if another puzzle would be hard enough if you use the same paradigm.

    Not necessarily. I had that as a possibility (it was obvious it was something with ice beam, other possibility I had was all enemies hit with ice beam regardless if they died) before the hint was given. I only posted what I had thought since Yami did. :p

    Also our guesses on the others came out pretty similar. :derpe:

    Perhaps we think on the same wavelength. ::S:
