Periodic Table of Video Games

032009_sz_periodic.jpg We've played a lot of games in our day, and yet we still don't know how 80% of the games referenced in this periodic table. Maybe you can help us?

Btw, we love that the periodic table has become the latest cultural meme. First typefaces, now video games, what's next? We hope it's LolCats!

You can see the whole thing here.

Ti is one of the fighters from the original Mike Tyson's Punch Out. Can't remember the name right now, but i'm sure it's googlable

'Be' is from Day of the Tentacle, one of the all-time best.

@machete YES. You beat me to it -- I LOVED that game.

I'm happy to see the King of the Cosmos (Katamari Damacy) as Co and a worm from Worms as W... though I'm confused why Heifer (Hf) is in there. Was there a Rocko's Modern Life video game that I missed?
