Last night, a dozen game characters got together for a party. They figured that if the predictions were correct, it could be their last fling, and if not, they'd have a head start on the holiday celebrations.

This photograph was taken at the party. Your task is to name the games in which these characters appear and to guess in what game the party took place. (The character names aren't necessary.) There is a theme to the game titles in which the 12 characters appear, which may help you to find some of the more elusive games.

Prizes:
Everyone who participates, including our moderators and administrators, will get his or her name entered at least once in a drawing for one of my silly hand-crafted game calendars, which I am feverishly working to complete before the new year. If all goes well, I should have about 25 of these small 6" x 11" calendars to give away.

To increase your chances in the drawing, each time you give a correct answer, your name will be entered again into the pot. Those who guess all 12 characters and the background correctly will have 14 chances to win a calendar.

I will also have a separate bonus prize drawing for all of the players with a perfect score. Whoever wins that drawing will get a free downloadable game from GOG or Big Fish.

The contest starts now and will continue until midnight Central Standard Time on Sunday, December 30*. Please send your answers to me via PM. Do not post answers in this thread! I will get to them between writing out Christmas cards and wrapping presents. Have fun and good luck to all!

*Revised deadline

Devilish and wonderful! I only see one character I recognize though. Well, I guess that's one entry for me! I still have your game calendar from 2009 hanging on my wall!

I has been a long time since I made any, but they are fun to do.

Cool! I like to try for another calendar too.
Not sure if I will find everything, but if that happens I don't need to be entered for the download-drawing (as I just won a download from MM recently).

^ I think several of your competitors would be happy with that decision.

By the way, I'll update the scores in the second post. Let me know if I make any mistakes.

You might want to partake of some wine for inspiration, ladies. :wink:

HandsFree has found them all, and Angelfire has made some guesses as well.
