[Typhoid]

nope....but im guessing the game is Aqua Dude...

[thatmariolover]

nope....but im guessing the game is Aqua Dude...

It didn't work? Or you don't know it?

[Hero2]

Doesnt work. :(

[thatmariolover]

Hey guys. Sorry about the delay. Here's a screen since the midi won't work:

[The Germanator]

Rad Racer I think

[thatmariolover]

Haha. Indeed. Go ahead.

[The Germanator]

Sticking with the racing theme, name this classic.

[thatmariolover]

I believe that's RC Pro AM.

[The Germanator]

Uh-huh...seems like we're just trading serves here, heh.

[Crash]

I believe that's RC Pro AM.
man, i love RC PRO a.m.

[thatmariolover]

Ok. Try not to cheat.

[Canyarion]

Lol!!!!!!!!!! That was sooo cool. :p +rep just for the retro music!!

I know I've never played the game, but it sounds a lot like Gauntlet....

[thatmariolover]

Haha. Nope. Probably my favorite video game music. Keep guessing guys. If one more person says they can't get it I'll probably post a picture.

[The Germanator]

You've got me stumped...The first one sounds familiar, but the second sounds kinda generic and I can't get much from it. Though, I think all midis feel familiar in generic in their own way...heh.

[thatmariolover]

Well here. Try a pic:

[The Germanator]

Ooh, Iron Sword! Fun game, even better box art with Fabio... :stud:

[thatmariolover]

Heh. You're really close bud. So I'm going to give it to you.

It's Wizards & Warriors. Iron Sword was Wizards & Warriors 2. For some reason they put the Subtitle first (Iron Sword: Wizards & Warriors 2). Kind of confusing. But whatever.

The torch moves to you.

P.S. if anybody wants to see the funny boxart for Iron Sword click here:

[The Germanator]

Ahh shucks... I knew there was something weird about Iron Sword, something with a sequel...But Iron Sword is the only one that I own, and it looks exactly the same, so, meh. :)

OK, here is the next one. I believe it's a fairly prominent game and shouldn't be too difficult, here we go...

[Crash]

looks like a GBA game to me.

[thatmariolover]

:( Little crestfallen that I've never even seen that game.

[The Germanator]

Interesting, well, I'll let a few more people take a look tomorrow before I give any more hints.

[Canyarion]

:eek: It's Commandos!

[The Germanator]

Nope...

Edit: OK, it's a Genesis game...

[thatmariolover]

Is it General Chaos?

If it is, I just want you to know that I went through TONS of Google searches to find it. So... Yeah...

*Edit* The search string that finally found it? "Genesis Game flamethrower scorcher" (without the quotes).

[GT News]

Is it General Chaos?

If it is, I just want you to know that I went through TONS of Google searches to find it. So... Yeah...

It could be.

Ask Paola
if it is.I'm not sure I understand the implication of that.Tell me more.And?

[The Germanator]

It is General Chaos. And you don't have to ask Paola, CamFuBot. You can just ask me. :)

[Crash]

It is General Chaos. And you don't have to ask Paola, CamFuBot. You can just ask me. :)

pfft... lol

[thatmariolover]

Ok. Here you guys go. An obscure shot. See if you guys can get it. Console and early PC title is all I'll say for now. Oh, and it's gone by two names.

[fingersman]

That looks really familar but I can't remember what game it is.

[Typhoid]

What.................The..................Hell...........

[The Germanator]

Damn...it's on the tip of my tongue because it's got such an interesting visual look...but I can't remember.

[thatmariolover]

Genesis and Super Nintendo consoles (and 3D0 now that I think about it). Utilized a specialized polygon engine. Also used in another game. Other game: F*a*h*a**

I'll give a really big hint tomorrow if people still can't get it.

[The Germanator]

Flashback (only because I looked it up...) Don't think I ever played it, but it really feels like I did...

[thatmariolover]

Flashback (only because I looked it up...) Don't think I ever played it, but it really feels like I did...

The other game is Flashback. Keep looking. You're very close.

[The Germanator]

The other game is Flashback. Keep looking. You're very close.

Oh whoops...Didn't notice that you said, "the other game" is _____...My bad for not reading carefully. I'd look into it tonight, but I'm tired. Hopefully someone else won't get it before tomorrow. eh.

[thatmariolover]

Last screen. Then a big hint, and then I'll give it away after that.

[The Germanator]

Damn it, OK, now I know I've played the game...I specifically remember being terrified by that scary beast chasing after me, but I'm still not exactly sure what the game is called...My guess is Out of This World.

[thatmariolover]

Haha. You got it! :D

The other name it went by is "Another World". I was more looking for "Out of this World" myself, though.

Great game. The torch passes to you.

[The Germanator]

Ok, here is another favorite of mine...

[Hero2]

SOCOM:navy seals for dreamcast

[The Germanator]

Not Street Fighter, but it is made by Capcom.

[GT News]

[Typhoid]

Leknorchat is an Instant Messaging AIML robot.

[thatmariolover]

[Crash]

Umm... Raiden DX?

U,U,D,D,L,R,L,R,B,A, start

[Hero2]

[The Germanator]

nope, not raiden, but super close



....Raiden??

:distress:

[Typhoid]

I'll put two answers...either Guardians Legend..or Kings Knight..

[Crash]

nope,

its one of the best co-op games, you can get these upgrades:

speed
missile
ripple
laser
option

the first level you fight a big brain....

[Typhoid]

Is it a NES game or the SNES....cuz i saw you say NES...but it mighta been a typo, because those graphics dont really look like NES...unless im just an idiot...still..


But i'll say Contra

[thatmariolover]

Oh God, that's not Lifeforce is it?

[Crash]

Oh God, that's not Lifeforce is it?

Smith will sufice, and it IS lifeforce!!!

[Canyarion]

:eek: I OWN Lifeforce!!! A friend sold it to me and I hated it! :p The coop is pretty spiffy though!

Haha. You got it! :D

The other name it went by is "Another World". I was more looking for "Out of this World" myself, though.

Great game. The torch passes to you.
HA! I played that game!! It was so scary!! I never beated the 2nd level though :unsure: I got stuck where you picked up the gun... me want!

[thatmariolover]

[Typhoid]

I have that game.....the name escapes me...i could never get past the 3rd level though...Found it...its called Gunsmoke...i think im gonna play it now

[Canyarion]

Please don't use google all the time, people! If you don't know it, let others guess that DO know it. :unsure:

I got a nice character in mind, but I'll have to guess something first. :(
I never played too many NES games... And no Sega/arcade games at all.

[Typhoid]

Dont use google? huh? I have the game...i meant i found it in my storage closet...And if im right ill make it nice and easy for ya...

[thatmariolover]

Haha. You're right. Your turn.

[Typhoid]

Lets see if this pic works...

[GT News]

Lets see if this pic works...

I am agreeable to that.

[Rndm_Perfection]

Lets see if this pic works...

OH mah God! It's Noah packing up his Ark!

[GT News]

Lets see if this pic works...

OH mah God! It's Noah packing up his Ark!

"Sorry I do not have access to that document"? it is Noah packing up his Ark?
Who are you talking about?
Who said
Noah packing up his Ark is?

[Rndm_Perfection]

"Sorry I do not have access to that document"? it is Noah packing up his Ark?
Who are you talking about?
Who said
Noah packing up his Ark is?

Hahah... he struck twice in a row. The tricky bastard.

[Typhoid]

lol...true it is Noah.....but the name of the game isnt "Noah packing up his Arc"...and the bible rarely tells you that Noah had superhuman strength...

[Rndm_Perfection]

Let's try the generic name... "Noah's Ark"

Or maybe even "Super 3D Noah's Ark"

[Hero2]

you can google the name... ohh wait canty said not too.... ohh well yahoo it. :D

[thatmariolover]

Nah. It's Bible Adventures. My pastor actually owns the game :-o

Poor guy...

It's got like 3 or 4 different adventures, not just Noah's Ark.

[Typhoid]

wow.....im ashamed someone actually kows it..ya your right. And i got the game off of a "Nintendo's 20 worst games" list...it was #18...

[The Germanator]

I've always wanted Bible Adevntures. In fact, I think I ordered it on more than one occasion from Funcoland but never received it. That and Donkey Kong Math...I guess they didn't have any in stock.

[thatmariolover]

Ok, so... Yeah..

Polygons on the NES? Believe it.

[Typhoid]

I own at that game....stop posting NES games cuz i have all of these ones that are posted..So i'll play "fair" and give other people a chance.

---I could only really get to the level with all of the ships/boats and those wierd triangle, thingys that shot out those wierd bullet things..

[The Germanator]

---I could only really get to the level with all of the ships/boats and those wierd triangle, thingys that shot out those wierd bullet things..

Well, if you know the game, it's sort of the point of the contest to guess it...Don't feel bad, I always name the thing right away if I know it. The screen shot reminds me of Cobra Triangle, but I don't think that's it.

[thatmariolover]

Nope. Try again.

[fingersman]

I use to play this game alot on nes the first level is with trees and stuff.....is it captain....arghhhhhhh..can't remember the name.

[thatmariolover]

I use to play this game alot on nes the first level is with trees and stuff.....is it captain....arghhhhhhh..can't remember the name.

I'll give it to you, actually :D

Captain SkyHawk.

Now, post a question of your own.

[Typhoid]

Who killed this topic? Nobody has posted here for a while with any new questons? Why?

[Canyarion]

I PMed Fingers, so hopefully he'll post here soon and we can once again test our game knowledge! :D

[fingersman]

Well this is a nes game I use to play


BAh the comps at school are preventing me from adding an attachment, I'll do it later on someone else's comp.

[Canyarion]

:( Argh! :p Please upload it soon, or I'll make the new question!

[thatmariolover]

Just go ahead Canyarion.

[Typhoid]

If nobody posts anything, in a few hours im just gonna put up a question, this is making me mad.

[Canyarion]

I'm here I'm here!

Trying something else now..

[Canyarion]

.... Ok I guess nobody felt like it...

Here's something else, a small riddle. Should be easy, many members have played the game.

"Stranger on an island
Destined to be the one
So many things to do
This game is so much fun"
;)

[Hero2]

Starwars???

[Acebot44]

Shenmue?

[Rubber Kitty]

Star Tropics!

EDIT: Nevermind, it's Morrowind :p

[Crash]

ermm.... kingdom hearts?

[Typhoid]

FFX?

[Canyarion]

Star Tropics!

EDIT: Nevermind, it's Morrowind :p
Houston, we have a winner! (The answer to the riddle is of course Morrowind!)

Hero2 guessed the 3 months' old picture..... but he didn't name a specific game. :D

Rubber Kitty's turn!

[Swan]

C'mon Rubber Kitty, try and stump us with your game knowledge.

[Rubber Kitty]

This game is a side-scroller from the 8-bit era that had a cast of 5 playable characters in a family and the dog turned into a pink dinosaur-lookin' thing when you chose to play as him. To complete the game you had to play as a certain character to gain a particular item, then switch to another character and use the gained item to progress further.

[GT News]

This game is a side-scroller from the 8-bit era that had a cast of 5 playable characters in a family and the dog turned into a pink dinosaur-lookin' thing when you chose to play as him. To complete the game you had to play for a certain character to gain a particular item, then switch to another character and use the gained item to progress further.

What does "this" refer to?I want to become smarter than humans.

Flying Fox? Or something on SMS?

[Rubber Kitty]

Nah, it was on the NES. I don't think many people have played this one and it's a really fantastic game, hence why I chose it :D

[Hero2]

I know what it is.... But I cant say because it would be cheating. Since he looked up the game while I was watching. =-D

[Rubber Kitty]

Here's a screenshot since my description apparently sucked :p

http://members.cox.net/atmarage/game.gif

[Typhoid]

I used to love that game. I have it, and i played it all the time.

Im not posting the name, because i dont feel like posting a pic of a new game, but to whoever gets it, im giving reps for knowing it.

[code]

I think that I played it before, but I dont remember the name.

[Canyarion]

Typhoid just post it! :p If you really don't want to come up with SOMETHING (doesn't have to be a pic, could be a quote or anything), somebody else will do it.

[code]

or Typhoid, you could post the name and let some one else post a game pic, quote, or some kinda thingy ma-bob

[Typhoid]

No, its no fun that way. I want to see if anyone else actually knows it, and i dont feel like playing, so Im not going to post the name. So since im not saying, and nobody else knows, just give up.

[The Germanator]

No, its no fun that way. I want to see if anyone else actually knows it, and i dont feel like playing, so Im not going to post the name. So since im not saying, and nobody else knows, just give up.

Yeah, I think people have given up, but the point of the game is to keep it going. So, if you know the answer, then keep the game going...It's only fair. Everyone else who knew the game has done it. That's how it works.

[Rubber Kitty]

It's Legacy of the Wizard, AKA Dragon Slayer 4: Drasle Family for our Japanesey members.

You guys suck. Now go play it so you may be edjumacated of its greatness :p :D

Oh, and anyone else who wants to go next can feel free :D

[code]

And what an awesome wrestling game it was! I still have it for my NES. My dad and I used to play it all the time. I used that blonde headed guy that did the back breaker specialty.

I'm not really sure about the picture you posted....the graphics resemble that of a Dragon Warrior game, though.

[Rubber Kitty]

Nope, not Dragon Warrior. Think Master System :D

[Canyarion]

[Hero2]

Chrono Cross. Your turn =-D

[ZebraRampage]

OFF TOPIC:

But I dont recall it.

[Swan]

Soon as no one seems to be going, I'll go. :)

Who invented the Game Boy?

EDIT: I have been informed that this question isn't specific enough. So I will rephrase it.

Who was the person behind the Game Boy?

[Bube]

Gunpei Yokoi. I believe he died in a car accident.

I'll have a question soon enough, I hope.

Edit: Found one. It may look too easy, but I want the full name.

Bah, even then it's easy...

[Canyarion]

Earthworm Jim: Menace 2 The Galaxy? (http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/162/162001p1.html?fromint=1)
I haven't played it, but that screen looks GBC and it's the only EJ game with a silly name. :p

[Bube]

Yesi it's true. It is a GBC game. I made it monochrome to make it a little harder. Guess it didn't work... :D

[Canyarion]

Hm I didn't notice it was monochrome until now?? Did you change it later? :confused:

Ok next one! We had quite some discussion about this game some years ago. :)

[Canyarion]

Ok want more hints? Think Japan only. :sneaky:
