Remember what I said about miles behind, change that to, in the lead. Just post a level update every now and again so I can keep track.

I see that I've made it to the same level jamesi is (or was) on if his post is any indication. I don't know who the last guy is, but the other four are
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Cammy, Raiden (Rayden), Luigi, and Jill.
EDIT: OK, I figured out who the fifth guy is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Edward Carnby from Alone in the Dark
but it gave me a site that said that I was missing info. Then I looked at the Level 11 page source and realized what it was wanting.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It wants the first names of the actors who played those characters in the various movies. So Kylie, Christopher, John, Sienna, and Christian.
Rob
Boooooooo. But good solve.

I'm up to Level 19 now.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
There's a message in binary that says "I Must find him" and the background image (which is named "1stgame") is of a somewhat familiar-looking robot. Obviously the password is the name of the person that the robot is searching for, but I don't know who the robot is.
EDIT:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Oh, wait. I missed the phrase "Easter eggs" somewhere else in the text. This led me to think that it's looking for the name of the programmer of the first Easter egg, Warren Robinett, but that didn't work.
EDIT #2:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Some gears must've come unfrozen, because I thought to do a search for "'video game' 'robot sidekick'" in Google and the first thing that popped up was Ratchet & Clank. I knew that robot looked familiar, but I've never played those games. That should be enough information for you to get to Level 20. Oh, and that Easter egg thing is irrelevant to the answer AFAIK.

I think that the other text is the easter egg, if it is able to be decoded. I think I've seen it before (the text, not the robot), but I don't recognize it.

I'm stopping at Level 27 tonight unless I suddenly become inspired. I have no clue what this level wants as a password.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The page has a number of "I want" statements and each of them is repeated, like "I want your soul I want your soul." A MIDI of "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" is playing in the background and white asterisks fall down the screen like snowflakes.
EDIT:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The character in question is from Twisted Metal; he grants wishes. Remember that everything in this level is written twice.

Bah, I'm stuck on 21.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I count 36 lives, not including all of the combinations for lives. I tried thirty6 and thirtysix to no avail.

Well, in the interest of competition, Mastergamer0067 , I think I'll personally just keep that sort of information to myself.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The character's name won't work.
Edit: Ugh. Never mind, got it.

Level 33.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It apparently wants an anagram made from letters taken from the names of various characters' relatives, such as Tidus from Final Fantasy X's father. Problem is that it wants the 25th letter of Garnet from Final Fantasy IX's mother's name. She has two mothers, and neither of them have a name that's that long to my knowledge. I'm thinking that the level text "Don't read the writing on the wall" is important, but I don't know in what way.

Hey, if the dude is only on level 12, then it's not helping. It's pity.
Now back to the puzzles...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
On 28, I get the picture -> binary code thing, and I know who that is, but any combination of the name, the name and the word 'gun', or the name and the word 'missiles' leaves me wanting more.
