Sorry, kate me, neither guess is correct.
However...
Spoiler:
#30 is definitely the Mechanical Age, but NOT from realMYST. So what should the remaining possibility be? Yes, I was being sneaky!

Trunkyo, I removed #136 from my post - ID guessed it first and all the credit goes to him. I apologise for guessing the already guessed symbol for the second time.

That is one awesome quiz, Trunkyo. I've already been kicking myself several times for not recognising a handful of symbols. All in all, I knew an impressive total of 8 symbols at first glance, and had maybe five-or-so unsure guesses. I'm surprised all of "mine" haven't been guessed already, so here goes:

5.
Spoiler:
Riven?

6.
Spoiler:
3 Cards to Midnight?

74.
Spoiler:
Riven?

81.
Spoiler:
Bone

120.
Spoiler:
Sanitarium


Wow, two out of five guesses I'm actually sure of. This should be interesting!

I was wondering if it might be possible to post the answers next to each symbol in the original image once all is said and done? If not no worries - you've already done more than enough.

(List of correct guesses updated after another 6-hour period, see above.)

harald: #6 was already guessed by Shany, #81: Can you please be more specific?
SpeedBo: #26 is not correct.
Shany: #91 is not right.

Here is a condensed collage with only the remaining 50 (not guessed or incorrectly guessed) symbols:

Sorry about #6, I must have missed it. I thought #81 was in both?
Spoiler:
As in, the introduction sequences? Or maybe that's only in the first episode. All right, I'll guess Bone: Out from Boneville.

Yes, the symbol appears in both episodes, but this larger one is from the cutscene in first episode.

To finish up this superquiz quickly (most of you are probably either sick of symbols by now and/or your heads still hurt ), I've decided to provide the game titles for the remaining ones, so all you have to do is match them up. Hopefully, this will provide a final spark of recognition and eliminate those nagging feelings of déjÃ*-vu.

Spoiler:
9: The Last Resort
Alida
Barrow Hill
Black Mirror II
Callahan's Crosstime Saloon
The Crystal Key
Dead Reefs
Dreamfall
Drowned God: Conspiracy of the Ages
Flight of the Amazon Queen

The Legend of the Prophet and the Assassin
Memento Mori
Myst IV: Revelation
Myst V: End of Ages
Nancy Drew 6: Secret of the Scarlet Hand
Nancy Drew 17: Legend of the Crystal Skull
