Here are a few cutscenes from some classic arcade games. I could do classic video game GIFs all day. Given that, I imagine there are many more of these to come, in the meantime can you name all five without cheating by looking at the file names? I think there might be one (maybe two) that could hang folks up—I’ll try and dig up some harder ones for all the Ben Rimeses out there 🙂

Generations from now, they won't call it the Internet anymore. They'll just say, "I logged on to the Jim Groom this morning.
-Joe McMahon
Everything Jim Groom touches is gold. He's like King Midas, but with the Internet.
-Serena Epstein
My understanding is that an essential requirement of the internet is to do whatever Jim Groom asks of you while you're online.
-James D. Calder
@jimgroom is the Billy Martin of edtech.
-Luke Waltzer
My 3yr old son is VERY intrigued by @jimgroom's avatar. "Is he a superhero?" "Well, yes, son, to many he is."
-Clint Lalonde
Jim Groom is a fiery man.
-Antonella Dalla Torre
“Reverend” Jim “The Bava” Groom, alias “Snake Pliskin” is a charlatan and a fraud, a self-confessed “used car salesman” clawing his way into the glamour of the education technology keynote circuit via the efforts of his oppressed minions at the University of Mary Washington’s DTLT and beyond. The monster behind educational time-sink ds106 and still recovering from his bid for hipster stardom with “Edupunk”, Jim spends his days using his dwindling credibility to sell cheap webhosting to gullible undergraduates and getting banned from YouTube for gross piracy.

Without using the all powerful Google machine…
1. Pac Man
2. Ghosts & Goblins (really hard game!)
3. Rush’N Attack
4. Jungle…something, I can’t remember the rest of the title
5. …you’ve stumped me, I have no idea 🙁
First four are easy, the last one, not so much. 🙂
Number 4 is Jungle Hunt. (Fun game, I could never get past the natives though). The last one I have no idea, but opening the gif in a new tab does helps…
You two are good, expect five more soon. The last one is actually a partial screenshot, what comes underneath it are the high scores. Think of it as a the cutscene header for high scores. You can easily cheat to get the game name by looking at the filename, so I appreciate how honest you both are. With that ethic, you always win on the bava 🙂
