"May contain the voice of Leonard Nemoy"? The icon could be an image of the infamous Vulcan Salute, something like this:
Would apply to Seaman for the Dreamcast as well a couple of others.
Most obscure icon idea?

It contains a broken keyboard, I guess.
This is VERY clever! Well done! Not sure a broken keyboard icon would get the point across though.
It would probably apply to about a dozen games, which I think is a good number for an obscure icon.
Thanks! Maybe an angry teacher?

Wow, that is another really good one! Not sure we could fit "Your Ad Here" on a 32x32 icon however.
It's tricky to come up with a good idea AND a suitable icon!
How about a sign which just says "AD" ?

Just spitballin' with these...
All your base are belong to Engrish.
Hey Kool Aid! Product placement run amok.

Re: Most obscure icon idea?
I may actually use that "all your base" icon!
The kool aid one is a little hard to make out. Could you "zoom" in a bit?
Maybe I should start using slightly larger icons like 40x40? I could always stretch the old ones to fit.

I think it's funny that you think the kool-aid icon is hard to make out, but the all your base icon is a go - I had to zoom way in on that icon, and I'm still confused! Probably a reference to something that I missed way back when.

I think you're right Breaker. If people weren't familiar with that Zero Wing cut-scene they would probably have a heck of a time making out the icon.

About as big as it'll go...
And this may be a bit obtuse...
Kanji for "huh?" or "eh?" I think. Unless Google Translate steered me wrong.

Re: Most obscure icon idea?
I love these ideas. One of my favorite sections to read is the icon sections and I refer to them a lot. The eggplant and the chicken are hilarious and just so out of the blue that it's cool to see. The only one I can think of offhand is to put a Red Cross symbol and say may contain health packs.

Zeta - I may use the Kool Aid "product placement" icon. Nice! The kanji one may be a little too obscure.
All: What would you think if I scaled up the icons a bit? Since the text has gotten larger, it would make sense for the icons to grow a little bigger too. Then we could use icons with a little more detail.
Mark - what size would you recommend?
