Haha yeah you got it. Good job!

I’m glad someone finally got this because my back-up hint was going to be one final 5 word clue:

SHE DOESN'T LIKE YOU TIM
But that would’ve been breaking the rules, wouldn’t it?

Also, for everyone still interested: as referenced above, I’ve written out new 5 word clues for all the ones that have yet to be solved. I think they would be very helpful in fleshing out the more esoteric clues (I’m looking at you, free pizza game) and putting others in a more logical, less gotta-search-Google place (sorry, bass quake: you’re still awesome). Let me know if you want me to release these back-up clues out into the wild or if you want to continue using just the old ones.

There's a bit in Far Cry 4 that perfectly fits the second clue but I'm going with the island/jungle/Spanish connection.

Lol yeah you got it. The second in the series was a port of the arcade game, which is actually how I was introduced to it. Not sure if the console version was exactly the same (I never had enough quarters to get past the first couple of levels at the arcade), but the burning building first level is one of my first gaming memories.

Okay, so the last clue. Gotta be honest: I’m a bit surprised this one was the last one left. It’s a very well-received game critically speaking and one of the best examples of its genre out there. The two clues reference two levels that are among my favorites of all time. Within the following spoiler tag, I’m going to further interpret the first clue...while hopefully still leaving room for deduction. However, if you don’t want the reference in that clue spelled out for you, please don’t read it lol.
Spoiler: show
Think soundtrack specifically with the first clue. Three of the five words in the clue tell you the name of the song and also indicate in what way it was “reimagined”. The first word tells you whose song it was. Finally, this game is an example of a genre where, ideally, each level has a unique gameplay mechanic. This song was basically the gameplay mechanic for the level I’m referencing. And it’s amazing. Blew my mind the first time I played/heard it.

I would never have worked that out. I had the eye of the tiger by survivor worked out but beyond a Rocky game I just couldn’t work it out. I clearly need to play more Rayman legends.
