I'm sorry, but nostalgia is not a game mechanic. The music was okay and the pixel art was actually really great, but the gameplay is practically non-existent. The entire game is scanning a poster, clicking on bits of it with no feedback, and moving on. This isn't a quiz game where players have to name what the character is from, it's not a hidden object game where you have a specific list of things to look for under a time limit, and it doesn't break new grounds or define it's own genre.
Had this simply been submitted to the Newgrounds art portal as a "trip down memory lane," then everything would be fine. But this ... work of flash ... is by no means a game and doesn't, in my opinion, deserve to be here.
Reviews for "Cult Classic"

Int he beginning it may seem very easy , but later in the game it get very tough,
Is this satire for people who only play games for achievements? Is this a social commentary on how all you have to do to make front page is to make references without context? Is this a statement against what we call a "game" by producing a piece of minimal interactivity? If so, then this is a fun piece of art and "Cult Classic" is a clever title.
However, if you're serious, then I cannot even bring myself to criticize it. All that I have to say is that once you get past the gimmick of the collection of references, then it is forgettable and empty.
Why is this so highly rated? you just click on everything in the picture. Rather boring. :/
not much of a game just because it doesnt tell you who to look for (which woujld make it more interesting i think)
looks nice at least?
Easy medals if you want to put the time in to find them all. I don't care for medals or flirting with nostalgia so there was nothing here of much interest.
