Hadouken! Hadouken! Hadouken! (Monthly Midi Contest)

Constructor's Note
Not my best work, but better poorly made than not made at all
For those who don't get the theme: each of the starred entries is a "combo" of two types of game -- e.g. CARD game and BOARD game, or WAR game and VIDEO game.

    Nice! Didn't get the theme until afterwards, but it's a great theme set. Good work cluing your entry before the deadline!

      Hey @Adam, remember to clue your entry before the deadline!
      (The grid, as in black squares, seemed a bit rough, but otherwise I thought it was a fun solve — good theme and smooth cluing with some clever ones!)

        fun take on the theme! had some problems in the middle south with the MOM part of LOVEMOM and OIC, but the rest of the fill was pretty good!

          As a game design major, this month’s theme makes me happy to see all of the references people pull out. Nice work!
