Happy Friday folks! Wooohooooooooo! :D

Here are twenty balls. Can you tell which games they're from?

Rules for this quiz: Only one answer per post. No consecutive posts from the same user (mine don't count). Correct answers are worth 1 point each, and half a point each if/when clues are given.

As they say in baseball... PLAY BALL! :)

That was my first thought (it's not is it Greencard?). Then I checked Earthlight to see if the earth rotates so the pacific fills the entire globe—nope!

Is 18 a puck?

Might be that game where you have little hover buggies and you're trying to score goals by shooting the puck around. Like Ballblazer or Rocket League but with sprites. I don't know what it was called. Which is a problem for this post, I realise.
