Palooka was too quick and got about half a dozen that I knew and you missed. The only one I can still help with is:
6-1 (Onett) is from Earthbound. Though I admittedly only know this 'cause it’s also a level on Smash Bros Melee.

Aack, got called away, wrapped up my post, and then realized that I missed two pages. So:
Page Seven:
1 - Star Wars
Page Eight:
1 - Gun, maybe?
Note to self: next time, finish post before throwing clothes in dryer.
The fourth post card on page two is from Syberia, which I’m currently playing.
Carry on.
These are the ones I know. (I never really got to play Mario brothers much, so can’t tell what belongs to which game.)
[SPOILER]Page one:
Page two:
Page three:
Page four:
Page five:
Page six:
Page seven:
Page eight:
It’s an interesting game, if you like it, try The Longest Journey , and maybe Darkfall .
I assumed page 1, #2 was:
Pipe Dream from here .
Bah, this was rather embarrassing. I’ve been a very avid gamer for over 20 years now and barely knew any of them. Either I’m getting old or something. sigh The ravages of being 30.

Thanks for the recommendations, are they point-and-click adventures?
Both are rather like Myst, Darkfall is closer to being a point and click adventure, it is almost all point and click, Longest Journey is adventure/puzzle but very nifty. It’s more like Syberia in a way, but with more chapters and twists.
Meant to add, Darkfall is more scary than The Longest Journey. The Longest Journey is fantasy puzzle adventure, Darkfall is more suspenseful. It won’t make you have to change your underwear, but it’s VERY good at holding tension and having unexpected things happen that make you startle. (While having an interesting plot line to keep you hooked and working to figure out what happened.) Taking notes with Darkfall is a good idea, but you don’t really need to do so with Longest Journey, it has an in game journal.
Both have good plotlines, and there are sequels for both as well.
