PUZZLE #37: Anagram Chambers 2

PUZZLE #37
ANAGRAM CHAMBERS 2


For this puzzle, there are several dark-green "chambers" with yellow rectangles and light-green squares in them. For each chamber, you take a word in the first yellow rectangle as hinted at by the clue, add a letter from the light-green square, and scramble them to get a word in the second yellow rectangle, then you repeat the process to get the word in the third yellow rectangle. Once you've filled in everything, the light-green squares will spell out something... or they would if the chambers weren't all scrambled up as well!

Once all of the chambers are in the proper order, the light-green squares will spell out the FINAL ANSWER: An '80s arcade game.



In case you can't make out the words in the above picture, here are the clues in text format:
  • [U2 song also known as "In the Name of Love"] + __ = [Anansi or Aragog, for example] + __ = [Like pool balls numbered 9-15]
  • [Cured animal skin] + __ = [With "New", India's capital] + __ = [Fictional agency once headed by Nick Fury]
  • [The titular Little Mermaid] + __ = [Oblong pastry with cream filling] + __ = [Jodie Foster's role in Silence of the Lambs]
  • [Observed] + __ = [Past or present, regarding verbs] + __ = [Crunch bar company]
  • [It can precede "Estate" or "Ghostbusters"] + __ = [Worm-catching bird, idiomatically] + __ = ["Angel of Death" metal band]
  • [Like neon or xenon] + __ = [Eye part with rods and cones] + __ = [Apprentice]
  • [Mystery _____ Files (series of hidden object games)] + __ = [Terrify someone] + __ = [Emperor that lent his name to a "Little" pizza chain?]
Once you think you know what the FINAL ANSWER is, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star", more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a version you can print out!
