Jul 08, 2008 Hypercross Puzzle

Happy Video Game Day, everybody. :)

Fun one, though I think some people will have problems with #8.

stuck on #10

help with 8?

Very Nice! Well worth the effort.

#8, the last picture is a symbol for a type of building

help with 10?

Help with 2 and 9??

any salt on #2?

What's the machine in 2? Is it a general term or a specific version?

also help with 11?

#2 starts with "you and I"

[10] I have no clue what it is...not a video game person

[10] specific, its a nintendo product. good tv show

It's very nice!

darn got 2 but something wrong

I need 9 & 10

so any help with 11? its the only one i have left.

got #10, so no need to clue... thanks

Today's theme is awesome.

NM

[17]number 10 isn't there

[12] , [14] - We thank you. :)

[21] ok ya. i need 10 too. and help with 11.

I think I have everything right, but it's not taking it. The only one I'm not sure of is 7. I'm sure it's painfully obvious as no one else has seemed to have a problem with it.

great puzzle

[22] thanks. i got 10. but i still dont know 11!!! :(

[25] cat

still having trouble with 2...got the machine but what next?

i have the answers and im pretty confident about them but its not accepting. can i TG someone?

[30] Sure!

any more salt on #2...pretty please?

[29] say it with the past tense part of the clue and then the theme word.

[31] TG sent

[34] response sent
oh... and grrrrrrrr

[33] that's what I've been trying but maybe what I think the clue word is is wrong

!#@$%^&* I have them all, at least I think I do.... get that sorry thing ARGGGGG

[37] ur welcome to TG me

okay - I have them all and it's not taking. I am suspicious of my answer for 7 - could it be that simple? Cause there are two
EDIT - NM I figured out my error...

I am hung up on 10.. someone season me please

[40] Is the character there?

[40] think what isn't

2, oh, 2, yoohoo...help on 2

[41] nope

[44] Where is he?

[41] MY HERO!!! and got in at 76th. Thanks!

[45] He is where my keys usually are

[43] a chain is only as strong as...

and thanks for the salt by the way!

Any salt on #9 out there?

Edit: NM - post and solve!

Oh, and I LOVED #8. I spent several minutes mumbling the clues before the lightbulb flashed. :D

cbrady check your TG

Pretty good puzzle if you're a Windows programmer (like me!). Otherwise, #8 is extremely tough.

Having trouble with #9 and #11. Any salt?

seasoning on number 1? I am going crazy with all the rest of the hard ones filled in and not getting the first!~!

K I must be slow, no one but me seems to need help on #7, any help?

WHO THE HECK IS THAT LITTLE PUNK THAT IS IN EVERY BLOODY CLUE? I hate this puzzle! (not really but I can't even get started because I can not for the life of me find out what that thing is) I have never ever ever played the game and know nothing about it.

NM... finally found it. with that piece of useless knowledge in me... rest was a breeze. But man it was still a killer without knowing that things name. :(

[55] say what you see, then think cat

[56] The title and a search engine should be enough to find his name. Or you could check out wikipedia. Here's a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda_%28series%29

SO much fun! Great one, spamwise!

never played but was able to figure it out! nice puzzle, well clued

[55] Or Atari handheld, to keep with the video game day theme.

[58] with all my searching, I never found that page. And the ones I did find never had that picture. Most of the pictures were of more recent versions of the game with fancier graphics. With no knowledge of the game, I didn't have enough info to decide which of the many character names belonged to that little fellow. And even with that page, I still don't find anything that pairs that image with his name.

Any salt on 9 and 11 would be greatly appreciated...

Finally got it. Pretty fun puzzle.

I'm feeling really deficient... still don't get #7. I tried the cat thing...

Edit: Yes... finally! I had one thing spelled wrong (an i for an e) which was messing me up as well. Thank you guys for the clues. Can't tell you how frustrated I was... :D

I was waiting for a clue leading to Linksys ! Great Puzzle!

I need help with 8 please.

[66] The 5 pictures should individually be 3 letters, 4 letters, 4 letters, 4 letters and 7 letters.

If you've got that, try saying the second word has more of a short vowel sound. (Think "ran" instead of "rain".)

If you're still stuck, the answer is 3 words long - 7 4 7.

Oh ok. #9 is very presidential.

[67] Thanks! That did it, although I've never heard of the clue before.

The one that stumped me was #1. Couldn't figure out how to fit "fishing rod" into the puzzle. Finally figured it out though.

I'm with [64]. I'm beginning to lose my mind. Is there any other salt out there for # 7?

Edit....Nevermind....thank you crossword solvers........

Really enjoyed this one, although I was scared it was gonna be nintendo trivia or something...those friggin board game puzzles have me gun shy...
