Default Superquiz: A Mountain of Fountains

as the symbol quiz , and it'll be a refreshing change of pace from all the trees too! I put a lot
of effort into this one, so I'm practically gushing with pride at the end result!
(Did anyone happen to catch this??? It was my oh-so-subtle way of hinting at the superquiz theme! )

To celebrate the start of summer (in the northern hemisphere anyway, sorry skeeter! ), I thought this would be a cool theme for a superquiz. So here it is at last, 154 pics (and 2 bonus pics) of fountains, springs, basins and garden pools.

Superquiz rules:
1) You may guess a maximum of four (4) pics per guessing period (of 4,6 or 12 hours, my decision) in spoiler tags, please.
2) You may also PM me with your list of guesses, especially if you recognize 40 or more pics and don't want to be limited by the regular guessing periods.
3) I will decide when the remaining pics will be up for grabs by anyone
(including zobraks, who I hope won't hog them all! ).

The first guessing period will be 4 hours, so let the waterworks begin!

(Apologies for the massive size of the collages, if you're still on dial-up, it might be better to click on the links instead. )
Numbers 1 - 51
Numbers 52 - 102
Numbers 103 - 154 + Bonus pics

I hope you'll regularly post a list of what's been guessed, but that huge amount of pictures feels very overwhelming to me at the moment.

All right, a random selection:

B2
Spoiler:
KQ2 VGA (AGDI)


105
Spoiler:
Indy 3


59
Spoiler:
QfG2 VGA (AGDI)
(Why is one of the AGDI games a bonus and not the other?)


30
Spoiler:
Sanitarium

I'm glad you're paying attention, Kurufinwe!

Oops, that's what happens when you have separate sets of the collages at work and at home. I'll swap #94 with the pic I was supposed to use later today. (As for B2, I just threw that one in at the last minute.)

Wow! I'm amazed, and disoriented and recognize several without being able to place them, and the few I instantly placed have of course been named..

I doubt I'll be able to get any right, and I think some of these have been guessed, but:

145:
Spoiler:
looks so much like an Agatha Christie game! I'm going to guess Murder on the Orient Express, but I'm not sure, it looks a bit newer (but MotOE is the only one with snow)


Could 15.
Spoiler:
be Black Mirror 2?


I think 114. and 152.
Spoiler:
are from the same game, but I' not sure which one. The statue reminds me of Syberia, but the graphics seem a bit older.


I know I recognize 6, 14, 68, 78, 101, 102, 107, 117 and 151, but I can't pinpoint any of them! Argh!
