Week 2, Part 1
Life’s a Beach!

There’s nothing like a cool dip in your favorite body of water on a hot summer’s day.  Below is a beach scene with characters, critters, and items from 16 different adventure games.  Your task is to name the games in which they can be found.  Each correct answer is worth 10 points, and you’ll get another 10 points if you can name the game which has this beach background.  The maximum number of points for this section is 170.  There is no penalty for a wrong answer, but please send only one answer per number in any one PM.

Week 2, Part 2
Fishy Titles

The octopus below is showing off 8 quite fishy adventure game titles.  Your task is to unscramble them and construct 14 real game titles out of all of the 42 words.  A title may be missing its subtitle, and there may be a lone subtitle in there. 

Each correct title is worth 10 points with a 10 point bonus if you send me all the correct titles together in your first PM.  If you get an answer wrong, I will not tell you which word in the title is incorrect, but you can still get 10 points for the game name if you correct it. 

As usual, send all your answers to me via PM.  Week 2 will end on Saturday, July 15 at midnight GMT.

Please note that a wayward “c” was removed from the word kraken in part 2.  I have no idea how it got there, but thanks to Chrissie for spotting it.
