Wow, some awesome stuff. The pic between Arnie and Space Balls is the cast of Red Dwarf.

My take, with slashes between pictures to line them up with everyone:

karate kid
terminator
dunno
spaceballs
Didi and dexter
samurai jack(prolly)/ dunno
dunno / Kei from original dirty pair
Ran from tsukagai ran / dokkoida and Tanpopo
dunno/ dude from fist of the north star/ A-ko
Dr. Evil's crew/ Austin Power's crew
girl from galaxy express 999/ Nuku Nuku/ dunno
the doctor(voy) and Picard(TNG)/ Worf(TNG)
dunno(but looks familiar)/ dunno/ Bones, spock and kirk
dunno/ Lime
dunno/ looks like Total Recal scene/ dunno

This could be a fun game. Name all the ones you recognize.

Let's see from top:

Karate Kid.

Definitely Arnold. I'm thinking Terminator.

The next one I recognize is Spaceballs.

Dexter.

I have to say that his Kei (Original Dirty Pair) is more babe-licious than the actual Kei from the anime.

Underneath Kei is a robot that I've seen from somewhere but can't place.

Next is the greatest red-head herself.

Austin Powers.

Maetel from Galaxy Express 999.

Nuku Nuku.

Warf and I think the hologram Doctor from Voyager.

Original Star Trek.

Lime from Saber Marionette J.

Now the last one I recognize is something I'm not sure about. I'm pretty sure it's Arnold again and I want to say from Total Recall. I have definitely seen the scene the picture is depicting but I'm not 100% sure that it happened in Total Recall.

I find it patently apalling that a lot of Japanese artists just doodle up something that looks a lot better than what I could hope to draw with a year's worth of lessons and then stick it in a folder marked "junk". On that note, this particular artist not only did a small A-ko pic in his rakugaki folder, but also a whole mess of other cool one-shots, including perhaps the only Spaceballs fanart ever drawn. Give it a look-see... his regular galleries are pretty cool too.

Wow, that is a nice one...!  :inlove2:

It doesn't pay to link to all the cel auctions on Yahoo Japan, but this one's too good to ignore. From Cinderella Rhapsody, this is Miss Ayumi in her Defense Force getup with the mecha from the box cover. Starts at only 1000 Yen!

It would seem I've updated a day too early, since I 've got new information.  Found another page with better and larger screenshots, and an explanation of the game. It's a board-game style game- player one is A-ko, player two or the computer is B-ko. C-ko rolls the dice to advance you, and when you land on the same space as your opponent, you battle to determine which one you gets sent back a few spaces. According to the reviewer, you won't get much out of the game if you haven't seen the series, but that's not a problem for us, right?

In Japanese, but it Altavista's up real nice. Also some nice shots from a Dirty Pair and Kamen Rider games on the same page.
