I definitely recognise a few of the other quotes, but not enough to have been able to even guess the franchise. Names just not coming to me.

CastorTroy

Of the ones not answered

Spoiler Warning

10. I know it's answered already but just had to call it Lylat Wars. 😃

13. Cannon Fodder

Well seems I found a new feature of the site. At least one I haven't seen before. I don't have a spoiler tag on that first line yet it appears as a spoiler.

Retr0gamer

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122497292#Comment_122497292

That's name I've not heard in a long time. I was just thinking that it's never referred to that anymore, Americanization of history.

And the second one it correct.

CastorTroy

Spoiler Warning

I got the big box with the rumble pak. How could I forget. Though could've at least called it Starwing 64.

Penn

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122497292#Comment_122497292

Same happened me with the spoiler tags. For some reason when I first posted, the bottom 8 or so on my list were all in spoiler tags within the main spoiler tag. After I edited them out, I now have a blank spoiler box at the top that I can't get rid of. And now the text I'm currently typing is a different font but will likely appear normal once I've posted. This site is hilarious at times…

McFly85

Spoiler Warning

8 - Metal Slug! Can’t believe I forgot that one.

28 is going to bother me because I know the quote but can’t place it at all.

Retr0gamer

Correct

Number 28 is an old game.

If you need a hint I'll spoiler the platform below:

Spoiler Warning

Commodore 64, although it has conversions to Amiga and master system.

Impossible Mission

^^^ spoiler tags no longer work that way. You have to highlight the text, click the Paragraph-type button (don't know what it's called, the backwards P thingy) at the side of the text box, then the inverted commas, then click Spoiler.

Cheers. One of the reasons I stopped posing here is that horrible clunky interface.

Interesting fact… the quote is also seen in scrolling text on the first Dizzy game (On the trap level that you can't escape from underneath the room with the cauldron and the flask of troll brew).

Retr0gamer

I've bolded the ones that were answered. Nearly there but there's some tough ones left.

Niska

Spoiler Warning

12 - Final Fantasy 12

18 - Klingon Academy (wild stab in the dark as it mentions Praxis

Retr0gamer

The first is correct.

Not Klingon Academy. It's not star trek related.

Penn

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122498025#Comment_122498025

Is the first correct?

Spoiler Warning

I knew it from the meme but had no chance of thinking of the name, so I looked it up after I posted my answers. It's from Zero Wing

Ten of Swords

12

Zero wing

39

Castlevania 2

One of the monkey island games (escape from?)

It's from the original monkey island

The rest are spot on

Sorry, I think the poster meant 15 not 12 so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt there.

It's hard to keep up.

Retr0gamer

9 to go for if I can count properly.

Edit: 10. I can't count.

nix

Can we get a new list with what's guessed crossed off? 😄

Retr0gamer

I bolded the ones that have been guessed. I can make a new list if it's easier to read when I get a chance.

2. "I wanna take you for a ride!"
3. "Complete global saturation!"
