PUZZLE #236: PixelSweeper 2

PUZZLE #236
PIXELSWEEPER 2

My birthday is tomorrow, and just like last year around this time, I'm going to give you guys a present in the form of a picture logic puzzle! Not only that, but if you read yesterday's post, I'm also going to post a video of me appearing on a game show from ten years ago this Sunday! Yep, I'm finally gonna reveal what I look like in real life, so look forward to that! Anyway, here are the directions to this type of puzzle in case you don't remember:

This hybrid of Minesweeper and a Picross puzzle consists of a grid with multiple numbers inside that will eventually turn into a picture. Each number tells how many of the squares surrounding it (as well as the numbered square itself) should be shaded in. For example, a square marked with a "9" should be shaded in, and so should the eight squares around it. If you're stumped or don't know what to do next, you can always get some tips, tricks and techniques through this link.

The FINAL ANSWER for this puzzle is the name of an '80s arcade game which is seven letters long


Once you believe you've figured out the FINAL ANSWER, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) 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 two versions you can print out: a .PNG and a link to a .PDF!
