Say, is everyone on holiday already? The last weekend of November is upon us and just fifty people have sent in their entries! One of them from this forum. Now then, because it's almost Christmas.... I bring you presents in the form of a third serving of hints.
And in accordance with the principle of reciprocity, you now have to give me something too, so please join the game.
Are you ready for the (really!) last batch of clues?
Clues #3: 1) The first letters of the first three rows, strung together, make the words McAbgast Xatioby.... no, unfortunately I haven't found a nice anagram! 2) Number 7 is originally a game for the Xbox 360, a later update also appeared on other systems. 3) There are also films and/or series for games 2, 8 and 10. 4) Title 12 uses several songs by a well-known black metal band in its soundtrack.
@BruceCM You are supposed to enter these via the survey form (the link) and not open in the thread, but I'll do that for you this time. You have two points!
Lol, well, I wasn't going to bother with only the 2, @Mr_Horizon .... Especially since I wasn't sure which specific games I'm sure I must have played some of the others but not most of them
So ladies and gentlemen, not only is this round over, but the whole quiz year has come to an end! With 107 players there was a lot of participation, thank you very much. I now grant you two months in which you may use your brains for other (albeit not quite as elementarily important) things than the monthly video game riddle.
And if you want to help me make even better quizzes next year, take a quick look at this short poll for the best quiz of the year: https://forms.gle/jZh9n6bhhPTUjkwH8

Here is the quiz picture again, followed by the answers:
@antdickens to the rescue please? Looks like my quiz results are not being shown again... I myself can see them though, post number 728 in this thread. Can you have a look?
I've never heard of Grime, I only got it by looking up 'black hole head metroidvania' or something along those lines. Also I'm disappointed that Scooby-Doo: Shaggy's Special Snack is not a real game.
Thank you Nintendo for giving us Donkey Kong Jr Math on Nintendo Music
@antdickens Thank you very much. Say, is there something I can do about this in the future? Can you tell me what exactly triggers this error (exceeding character limit, amount of pictures etc), maybe I can work around it?
I'm asking because next year I'll post more monthly quizzes, which will all have a large "results & high score" post.
@Mr_Horizon I've found the trigger and made a change, so hopefully, it won't get caught next time. Let me know if you notice anything else though. Thanks!
The NintendoLife forum ("ntl" in the table) decreases its rank from 4 to 5, even though it has a better score than last year! This is because the hardcore gaming 101 ("hcg") as well as the old maniac forum ("mnc") gained ground more quickly. Still, you are doing very well.
So who scored your points? (1st number is points via high score, 2nd number is points via endurance)
@lifer(41+3) @Dogorilla(0+4) (congrats on 44 rounds without a break!)
No matter if they were gained them with real skill or with steady persistence - here is the point ranking of the Top 100 players of this year:
The first five entries also show the change compared to last year. Congrats to lifer for his second winning year! But watch out, the lead is shrinking.
