Forum Game: What do you really know about video games?

[Kasrkin Guard]

...I have slept... long enough for one day... I have slept enough... for a eternity... I thank you... if you hadn't showed up, I would've slept forever... Now, spirits, grant me the strength to finish this... one... final prey... Can you hear me, *****? I am *** ***! I am here to send you to your ultimate fate...

[pym]

Metal Gear Solid 3 ?

[Kasrkin Guard]

Metal Gear Solid 3 ?

Correct!

[Enigmachine]

For a moment there I thought Kasrkin had finally lost his mind. :)

It's pretty depressing to realize I've played video games for 30 years now and I don't know 1% of these... :)

[zachig]

For a moment there I thought Kasrkin had finally lost his mind. :)
Hehehe :lol: That was GOOD, Engimachine!!! :mrgreen:

[=CDU=Above]

It's pretty depressing to realize I've played video games for 30 years now and I don't know 1% of these... :)

30 years? Good! Someone here actaully makes me feel young. I've been playing them for only 26 years. Ever since I got my first Atari 2600 for Xmas when I was 11.

[pym]

Ok, guys. Since we have serious gamers around, I'll go back in time to the early 90's. I wanted to go to the 80's, but I'll do that next time ;)
This one sure brings up some great memories...

It's King's Quest VI : Heir today, gone tomorrow from 1992. :wink:

I liked that series very much!!! :grin:

Very nice, zachig!
It was quite easy I guess...

THX!!! :grin: Yeah, it was pretty easy, especially for one like me who played the whole series...:wink:

OK...here's my new one (I guess it's also pretty easy, especially if one played it before...:roll:):

Oh man, I've played that game...but I can't remember the title.

[zachig]

;54624']Oh man, I've played that game...but I can't remember the title.
Come on :wink: It's a known (and pretty famous, I think...:roll: ) series of Adventure Games...:grin:

[pym]

Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade

[zachig]

That's right!!! :grin:

Well done, pym!!! :wink:

Your ball...

[pym]

Ok, this is based on memory only, Google can't help here I persume...
Who is the guy in the picture and what is the game's name?

http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/9961/113457232501la0.th.gif (http://img83.imageshack.us/my.php?image=113457232501la0.gif)

[Enigmachine]

Hmm... Totally wild guess here, but based on his haircut, I would say Paul Atreïdes from Dune?

And yeah, I've been playing on computers for a long time... I don't think they were really video games back then though, the first time I can remember playing was on a 110 bauds printer terminal using the MUSIC OS (developped by McGill University) in 1976 or 1977...

[pym]

Well, that is an accurate answer, Enigmachine!!!
Way to go!!!
Give us your riddle :)

[Enigmachine]

Wups, sorry, I didn't realize I had gotten it right!

Damned, now I have to find a riddle... Back in a couple of hours! :)

[Enigmachine]

I guess I'm no good with riddles because I couldn't come up with any of them! :)

So here's once again a screen capture.

http://enigmachine.com/images/temporaire/game2.gif

This is probably going to be pretty easy. :) As an additionnal hint, I can tell you that the combat system looks totally copied from Jagged Alliance 2...

Good luck. :)

[werty316]

MechCommander 1 or 2?

Mechwarrior?

Mech Arena?

[Enigmachine]

No, no, no and No werty, please try again! :)

Hint #2: There is no "mech" in the name.

[Enigmachine]

Let's step it up here!

hint #3: Obscure Sierra Online game.

[werty316]

Cannonball Blitz?

Earthsiege?

[Enigmachine]

Not Cannonball Blitz.

And not Earthsiege... Though Earthsiege would be its parent.

It's a tactical game, not real-time.

I think this is all the hints I can give. :) I guess I'm the only one who played this! :) Not a bad game actually, but repetitive.

[werty316]

Took me a bit more time to think about what game it is but I finally think its "Battledrome".

[Enigmachine]

No, sorry, not Battledrome. Though I'm finding plenty of games I've never heard about. :)

Oh I just came up with a last hint! There was a comic book by Marc Silvestri with the same name. One of the first series in the Image Comics...

I'll post the answer in about an hour I think. :mrgreen:

[pym]

Could be "The Darkness" :confused:

[Enigmachine]

No, not the Darkness...

Ok my hint was slightly wrong. The comic's name contains 2 words from the game's name, so it's not exactly the same.

[werty316]

Cyberforce?

[Enigmachine]

Close enough!

I was starting to think you'd name all the games of that series except the right one!

The complete name is Missionforce: Cyberstorm. :mrgreen:

I don't know if that counts as a point. ;)

[werty316]

Missionforce: Cyberstorm

How about now :lol:

I guess I should have searched for the whole name after I found out what comic book it was ;)

http://img278.imageshack.us/img278/8435/clipboard01dl3.jpg

[Enigmachine]

Yeah, it was obscure, but not that obscure, I really expected someone would know this game.

But I think Sierra really started going downhill around that time so I guess I shouldn't have been that surprised...

[pym]

It does count as a point just for the effort ;)
Never heard of that game, BTW...

Looks like Werty may win his first round in the game...

[werty316]

One more for the win ;)
Common daddy needs a new pair of shoes.

Enjoy my game pic ;)

[tomato]

After much searching, I believe this game is called Naked War ;) :P

[werty316]

Damn I thought it would be harder than that; your go.

[tomato]

Ok, what the hell, guess the title of this game?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v662/rogue_tomato/game.jpg

Woohoo!!! :lol:

To start round 8 off I'll leave the floor open to anyone ;)

[zachig]

First of all, CONGRATS werty on winning this round!!! :grin:

I guess I'll have the honor to start the next round...:wink:

So...here it is:

"The serial killer is back"...:roll:

[werty316]

Thx Zachig ;)

I don't know your clue so I'll take a stab at it: The Suffering or Condemned?

[pym]

I would go with Postal 3...

[zachig]

Nope, werty...nope, pym!!! :wink:

Sorry for the late reply as I was busy in Japan (yeah, I've already moved from Korea to Japan...:mrgreen: ).

If you need a "small" hint, it's an "adventure" game, but not a "regular" one...:???:

More hints to come...:grin: Just say if you need more...:wink:

[liqnit]

How about
"jack The ripper" http://www.gamespot.com/pc/adventure/jacktheripper/review.html

a low scored adventure game...

[pym]

I thought he meant a new game, that was recently released or not released yet...
But maybe I got him wrong ;)

[zachig]

I thought he meant a new game, that was recently released or not released yet...
But maybe I got him wrong ;)
Released recently...:wink:

And pay attention, I said: "The serial killer is back..." (*** caughing *** sequal... *** caughing *** :lol: )

[pym]

No need for the caughing, my good man.
That is exactly why I said it was released recently or about to be released... :-D

[zachig]

No need for the caughing, my good man.

So...come on, find the damn answer (jk...:wink: ) :mrgreen:

Your turn...

[pym]

Alright! I have the first point of this round ;)

Ok guys, this should be quite easy...
my riddle is my Avatar.
Who is my Avatar???

[werty316]

The game is Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones.
The character is.... does the character even have a name other than the "Prince"?

[pym]

The game is Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones.
The character is.... does the character even have a name other than the "Prince"?

Correct!!!
It's the prince indeed!
Your point...

[zachig]

Correct!!!
It's the prince indeed!
Your point...
Damn...:( I was too late for that one :wink: (quiet and EASY one I must admit...:mrgreen: )

[pym]

Since Werty (as usual) won't post a riddle, I'll post one instead...

Which great game si this picture from?
http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/5173/6wz8.th.jpg (http://img83.imageshack.us/my.php?image=6wz8.jpg)

[XJnine]

My first attempt at this game.... Company of Heroes!!!

[pym]

Alright, XJ!!!
Good answer!
You're on the score board, congrats!

Now give us a riddle (text/picture). 8)

[XJnine]

Yay!

Here's a little bit to get started, I'll add more this evening if no one can figure it out.

If you want to drive from Atlantic City to Manchester you may want to bring Steve Jackson with you.

[pym]

Autoduel / Car wars ???

[XJnine]

Doh, I guess I should have made it tougher!

Correct pym! Probably my favorite game on my C128. I still have the DOS version floating around.

[liqnit]

AutoDuel is one game to be remade into a full 3d game .
the closest think to that is AutoAssult which i did a beta test on and was great but still not like AutoDuel

[pym]

Indeed one of the better games :)

Ok, guys, going through time from the past into the very near future...
Which GREAT game is this from ?

http://i14.tinypic.com/47jdvk5.jpg

[GIBSON]

Looks like an RPG, a new Zelda game maybe?

[tomato]

Spore?

[pym]

Well, it is oviously RPG of course, but not Zelda and not Spore either...
After finishing the previous one (hint!) I am really looking forward to run this on my machine and check it out...

[=CDU=Above]

I haven't played it yet but is it Black and White 2?

[pym]

Nope, not B&W 2 either...
It is not out yet......

[pym]

Ok, seems like it is a bit more difficult than I thought...
Another hint:

http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/5026/1sb2.th.jpg (http://img85.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1sb2.jpg)

[pym]

hmmmm...
Didn't think it would be that hard...

It's the third in a great series of RPG games.

[pym]

Ok, guys, another hint!
the name is G****C III...
More then this is just to reveal the game :)

[zachig]

OK!!! Gothic III maybe??? :lol: jk...with that "hint" it can't be anything else but Gothic III!!! :wink:

[pym]

ALRIGHT!!!
It's about time, I thought you'de figure it out much sooner, guys.
Should be a great game ;)

Well done, Zach!
Your ball!

How is Japan???
Heading home anytime soon?

[zachig]

OK...here's mine:

It's a PS2 game based on a pretty "old" movie (but not "that" old).

It' is rated as a very BAD game (rated low, I mean) but the movie was a HUGE hit!!!

HINT: Observe the image carefully...:wink:

(Should be that hard, I think...:roll: )

Fight Club?
Damn...I didn't think it would be "that" easy!!! :( :lol:

I guess I gave too many hints...:wink:

Anyway, your turn!!! :mrgreen:

Once you said a hit movie and I saw the fighting, I guessed it in a sec ;)
I'll come up with a riddle soon :)

[zachig]

Once you said a hit movie and I saw the fighting, I guessed it in a sec ;)

Oh...I see!!! :roll: But hey, you must admit it's a GREAT movie!!!

BTW, I've just purchased here (in Japan, I mean) the DVD movie for around $10US!!!

Yeah, you can post a new riddle whenever you want, I'm going to sleep now, it's almost Midnight here in Japan!!! :mrgreen: C'ya :wink:

Um, isn't that a World of Warcraft guy?

[pym]

nahhh, not at all...

[tomato]

It's Kain the vampire from the Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver series 8) ...so I'll say that that shot is from Legacy of Kain 2?

[pym]

Exactly, very nice, Tomato!

[tomato]

Ok, name this game ;)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v662/rogue_tomato/game1.png

[GIBSON]

This makes me think about a gameboy game I played when I was still very young, not a clue about what it was named though.

[zachig]

Shinobi maybe? :???: :roll:

[tomato]

That is correct zachig! I loved this classic Sega game back in the day 8)

[[HoV]Destroya]

NeverWinter Nights 2 ?

Oh, I know this! I know!

Let me guess... hmmm... that's really hard... Is it NeverWinter Nights? :lol:
very hard to find out....;-)

[Enigmachine]

very hard to find out....;-)

Someone did give me a hint, I have to admit :D

[werty316]

Funny how "NeverWinter Nights 2" was the answer on another forum too if that is the correct answer.

Specificly it might be "NeverWinter Nights 2" but if Enigmachine got it right, its his point ;)

[Enigmachine]

Just waiting for Destroya to confirm or deny :)

Since I might have stolen liqnit's point, I have a very easy one all ready to go. :)

[[HoV]Destroya]

My apologies for not answering sooner, readdicted to the Tribes/Earthsiege/Metaltech series.

Blingo, Enigmachine! Your point and your riddle.

[Enigmachine]

Sorry about your Earthsiege addiction. :D

Ok, here's a very easy question.

According to the normal rules of the game, what does this city have it really shouldn't?

http://enigmachine.com/images/temporaire/Game3.jpg

[Llanerion]

Civilization 2 maybe?

[[HoV]Destroya]

Okay, this is just by the picture and common sense, since I have no bloody idea.:twisted: Aqueducts, Mosque type cathedral thing near the bottom middle (though that may be a modern, i.e. 1950s church, I try to avoid churches myself), that roman/greek/greco-roman acropolis/temple building, ampitheater and the pyramid.

This will all be wrong, just watch. :( :roll:

[Enigmachine]

Well, you have to guess the game and then what rule I'm talking about. :)

So... No luck so far! :)

There are a couple european cities with aqueducts, mosques and cathedrals, amphiteaters and acropolis-style things... Not a lot though, but they are possible. :)

[werty316]

Caesar?

[GIBSON]

The telescope and pyramid look kind of wrong in there, unless this were to be the city archimedes lived in (not sure he had a really early version or not) and then the pyramid would still be out of place :-D

[Enigmachine]

Even Paris has a pyramid. ;)

In any case, no, it's not Civilization "2". :)

[werty316]

Is my answer right? (three posts up)

[Enigmachine]

Is my answer right? (three posts up)

No, sorry. I don't think ancient Rome had radio towers. :)

[[HoV]Destroya]

Well, I'm screwed here, since I've never played the Civ series. So. . .judging by graphics quality, Civ 1 annnnnnd, Technological Advancement Rule? ;-) Hell if I know.

[Enigmachine]

Civ 1? Hey, are you making fun of my graphics card?! :D

I really thought it would be easier... I mean, look at all the buildings... Don't you think there's a lot of them? :)

[Enigmachine]

This rule has been present in all versions of the Civilization game.

[[HoV]Destroya]

Give another clue? Or, if not, can yur city only be a certain size or something?

[Enigmachine]

In this game, there can be only 2 of a certain type of building in a city.

Which type of building?

[liqnit]

it has 3 temples?

[Enigmachine]

They are called Wonders of the World.

This city has more than 2.

What is the rule I am looking four?

[werty316]

Seven Wonders of the World? :lol:

[pym]

I feel this riddle is too blury...
Looks like no one has any direction :roll:
Any chance you five us some more clues or change the riddle?

[p0lish]

Never played that game but that railroad looks odd...

[Enigmachine]

I asked what was wrong with the city.

Then I said there was too much of a type of building.
Then I said the building type is named Wonders of the World.
I also said there could not be more than two Wonders of the World in a city.

Finally I can say that according to the rules you shouldn't build more than two wonders of the world in a city. You can see a pyramid, the Parthenon, the Coliseum, etc etc in the picture.

If nobody gets it now, I give up. I really don't know how I could make it less blurry... :roll:

[pym]

Sorry, I didn't mean it that way...
Maybe it looked blury to me, since I just don't have a clue :)
Hope someone solves it by the clues you listed...

[werty316]

Its can't be one of the Simcity games...

[Enigmachine]

Please, please tell me you're kidding me!

The first person who tells me that you can't build more than two wonders of the world in a city in Civilization wins a point!

I honestly tought this would be a doozy...

[pym]

Well, no points on this one...
Please give us another one, Enigmachine...

[Enigmachine]

NOOOoooooooooooooooo!!!


I'm starting to understand why my teaching career was so short... :roll:


I'll have to think of a harder riddle now. :mrgreen:

[Enigmachine]

What is the name of this little guy?

Pick one. He uses them interchangeably. In the US known mainly as Blinky.

[[HoV]Destroya]

Ouch, p0l got to it first. Curse my sleeping late.

Give us your best shot ;)

1. 1993 French made
2. Author's name: Peter
3. Available on PC and Amiga
4. City run by a powerful corporation
5. Cyborg agents on the run

Simply name the game and all of its sequels.

[Enigmachine]

Gus Tarballs.

Yes, congrats p0lish!

4 knights searching for a stone..... that stone is the biggest hint....

Might and Magic: Dark Messiah
By the way, my next review here at Bjorn3D will be on this one...
Pretty good dame, I enjoy it.

Your riddle please...

[XJnine]

Yay!

Here's a shot of a game that was one of my favorites back in the DOS days. Make your guesses!

http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/3099/screeniego0.png

[tomato]

I believe that that screen comes from the Mechwarrior series... the first game if I'm not mistaken? Loved the MW games :)

[XJnine]

Not Mechwarrior but close.

This game has some really cool features that I wish they'd put into multiplayer games that are out now. I won't go into detail until someone guesses correctly because I don't want to make it too easy.

[tomato]

Battletech?! (damn, it's THIIIS close on the tip of my tongue!!!)

[XJnine]

Not Battletech but that's VERY close.

[tomato]

DAMN!!!!! This will drive me CRAZY!!! :P

[werty316]

I remember playing that game back in the day but the name I cannot remember also; argh

I think its BattleDrome.

[XJnine]

You got it Werty! Good job!

I loved that game. One of the cool things about it is the way you negotiate before each match. You wager a certain amount of money and you also decide how to handicap the match by only allowing yourself or your opponent to use certain weapons to make it fair.

http://www.x-j-nine.com/negotiate.png

[werty316]

Yay I thought it was that game and it was a fun game back in the day. Loved destroying other mechs and watching the parts fly; oooohh yeah.

I was just amazed it showed up. lol

Ok, this may be an easy one, but here goes

You don't know Jack

[borschtBomber[SS]]

Right on...figured it might be easy. I used to have a blast playing that game with friends.

Never played the game but I know the interface - seen ppl play it :)

Ok another no-brainer for you guys. Name the creature and game it is from.

Mmmmm now that does look familar but I can't put a name to it, and the game.

If it doesn't, I'm pretty sure someone will make it soon. Unfortunately. :)

[werty316]

I remember the game now.

That is a "Celatid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celatid)" from the game X-Com: UFO Defense (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-COM:_UFO_Defense).

[tomato]

From one my my Top 5 Favourite PC Games of all time, X-COM 8)

[p0lish]

[werty316]

I guess its my go since I was first off the line.

Here is my next picture clue:
I don't think it has been posted yet.

That looks really familiar to me. I can't remember the name of it though.Those side scrollers all kind of blur into Double Dragon.

[ManicMike]

That's Altered Beast from the Sega Genesis. I remember that it came bundled with the Genesis.

It really showed off the Genesis' graphics prowness. Good arcade translation too.

[pym]

Welcome to the forums, ManicMike!
We'll have to wait for Werty to confirm your answer and then you'll have your first point on the scoreboard as well as the right to post your own riddle.

Finally someone guessed and got it.

Your go.

[ManicMike]

OK.
In my opinion the below shooter was zhe best of its kind on the NES and one of my all time favorite in this genre.

[XJnine]

Zanac

[Enigmachine]

Is there supposed to be a picture or something?

Because otherwise, I don't get the question. :|

[ManicMike]

Correct XJnine. Like I said, this was my favorite shooter on the NES and one of my favorite of all time.

There was a screen shot. XJnine I assume was able to see it...

[XJnine]

I was able to see it. You need to be a little bit better about the links you post though. That one didn't hide things very well... ;-) I played the game quite a bit so I knew it anyway.

Here's one from an old fav of mine. Pretty easy one though. Can't wait for the sequel!

[borschtBomber[SS]]

Team Fortress Classic...many an hour I spent on that

[XJnine]

Correct of course. Not a toughie but certainly a fun one. Nothing like keeping your sentry gun happy while sitting back drinking a cold beer.

It was the best online FPS for a long time. I still miss it. If I had a dime for everytime I it a sentry with a wrench...
I can hear the clanging still today.
Fun stuff.

[borschtBomber[SS]]

Yeah, I still fire it up now and again for some classic fun. :)

Ok, here is another one, that might be easy as well....a heck of a fun game back in the day

[werty316]

Great game it was back then.

GoldenEye 007 for the N64.

[borschtBomber[SS]]

[werty316]

Classic game from 1982:

[zachig]

Damn...It looks sooo familiar, but I can't remember what it is...

It ressembles to 'digger'. That's why I'm pretty sure it was made by 'Windmill' company...

Any hints werty?

[XJnine]

Dig-Dug!

[borschtBomber[SS]]

Dig-Dug!

damn, I knew that one as soon as I saw it but was here too late.

[werty316]

Sorry for no more hints as I can't check the forums till the end of the night.

Dig-Dug!
Thats is correct.
Your go.

[pym]

Wow, Dig-Dug... Now I remember...
Very nice, XJ !!!
You already have 4 points this around!

[pym]

XJ, it's your turn to give a riddle...
Give us your best shot.

[XJnine]

Sorry guys, I totally spaced on this. Here's one that we've been playing a bunch at home the last couple days. Should be an easy one.

http://www.x-j-nine.com/bowling.jpg

[Enigmachine]

Huh, Wii: bowling?

[XJnine]

Of course that's it. Fun stuff!

[Enigmachine]

Oh nooOOooo! Now you'll be stuck with one of my super-hard, impossible to guess riddle! :)

So hard in fact that I think I'll post it tomorrow. :) I need to prepare... MuhahahHAHAHAHahahah

[zachig]

Oh...can't worry to see what it is :roll: ...and don't worry, we'll figure it out eventually, with or without hints...:lol:

[Enigmachine]

Ok, it's the holidays so I decided to go easy on you!
What war game for the PC is this? :)

http://enigmachine.com/images/temporaire/Game5.gif

One of the northern cities always cracks me up, it's named "Domus dolcis domus"... teehee

[XJnine]

Rome total war?

[zachig]

Rome total war?
That's what I was about to say, but I wasn't sure...:???:

Let wait and see...:wink:

[pym]

XJ, if you keep this up, you'll easily win the 8th round for sure ;)

[XJnine]

It's all about the timing. You just have to be here first to be able to guess first. ;-)

[Enigmachine]

Congrats XJNine! :)

I made sure Rome was written in large letters and at least 3 times, just in case :D

I'm having some trouble keeping my cities from being so revolting... But I'll get the hang of it I hope.

[XJnine]

Here's another game that used to take up a bunch of my time. I wonder if anyone plays this anymore? Hmm...

http://www.x-j-nine.com/gameguess.gif

[darkorb]

i was thinkin CS 1.6?

[XJnine]

Nope. Good guess though.

[darkorb]

can i guess again? or is it 1 guess per person

[The Doctor]

Rainbow Six (original)?

[XJnine]

VERY close Doctor.

[The Doctor]

It's got to be Rogue Spear.

[XJnine]

You got it!

[The Doctor]

The game I'm thinking of is a Sega Genesis game, has you play as a samurai, decker or shaman and the units of currency were yen and it took place in Seattle. Name that game!

[XJnine]

Shadowrun?

[The Doctor]

You got it!

[XJnine]

Yay!

This one might stump you guys for a bit. Just about any hint I could give would give it away so all you get is a screenshot.

http://www.x-j-nine.com/new1.jpg

[Enigmachine]

Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time?

[XJnine]

Wow, that was pretty quick. I thought for sure it would take a few guesses. I guess you're a fan. Woohoo!

[pym]

Welcome to the game, The Doctor!
Just updated the score board...

[Enigmachine]

It's hard not to know any Monty Python when you're a nerd. :)

Ok, I think this one is really hard. On Christmas I installed an emulator on my palm tungsten and loaded an old copy of this game. When everything worked well, I showed the screen to my father - the game still had his high scores from 22 years ago!

It's the only video game my father really ever pwned me at, but a fond memory. These days my father is in his seventies, so he's cut down on his gaming.

Here's a screen capture (shamelessly ripped off another site):

http://enigmachine.com/images/temporaire/Game6.gif

What is the profession of the guy in cyan? :)

[p0lish]

Any hints to keep the game going?

[borschtBomber[SS]]

I almost want to say its an early Mario game, but I don't think so. I'm completely stumped on this one.

[Enigmachine]

Yikes!

Sorry guys, this totally slipped my mind! I knew there was a reason I was keeping my Bjorn3D forum open... :(

Anyways, hints hints... The screen shot is from the Commodore 64 version of the game. Also, the two characters you see are brothers.

[werty316]

Can't be Mario and Luigi?

[XJnine]

Whistler's Brother. You're a student.

The story began years ago on the campus of a large university. You were a first-year student who spent more time learning how to sufi dance with a local whirling dirvish than studying. Your brother, while always a bit more clumsy and scatter-brained than you, somehow managed to graduate with a doctorate and was immediately offered a research position in the archeology department.

Trouble began when your brother returned from a year-long research expedition in the rain forests of South America. Not only did he return without any of the tools he'd borrowed from the university, but he had no notes documenting how he had spent his year. Out of concern for your brother's future and intrigued by his repeated mumbling about priceless ancient artifacts, you decide to retrace his steps.

Wow, what a tough one!!!

[Enigmachine]

Teeheee, actually the question was
"What is the profession of the guy in cyan?"

But since you quoted the whole thing I guess I'll let you have the point. :)

[XJnine]

You're a student


I gave the answer at the top.

Now I have to think up something...

[borschtBomber[SS]]

Quickly now...your slacking man :icon_tiphat: :wink:

[XJnine]

Sorry about that guys...

What game starts out this way?


West of House
You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door.
There is a small mailbox here.

[werty316]

Zork I: The Great Underground Empire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_(Zork))

Google actually has a useful function.

[XJnine]

Hahaha, I knew it would be easy if you googled it. I should have said no google but I know someone would have done it anyways.

[borschtBomber[SS]]

wait a sec, google can be used to search for things? :)

Hey Zampe and welcome to the game!!!
If you look a few posts up, you'll see this riddle has already been solved.
Anyway, as no one posted any new riddle and according to the rules, I'll give you guys a new one :)

Where is this from?

[Schwarz]

Could it be Runaway 2 ??
I havent played yet but the first one was awesome !

[zachig]

Damn...I was just about to say that...:ahhhhh:

It's definitely Runaway 2. I know that, since I'm currently playing that game!!! :grin:

Anyway, let's wait for pym to confirm it and then, I guess, it's your turn, Schwarz!!! ;-)

[pym]

Could it be Runaway 2 ??
I havent played yet but the first one was awesome !

Yup, indeed!
Your point, Schwarz.

Expect my review on this one in the next few days here at Bjorn3d :)

[Schwarz]

Oh damn Nice an adventure game review.
Let me think up of something ill get back to you guys in like 30 mins !!

[Schwarz]

Wich super nes game had characters drawn by Akira Toriyama.

I could give more info but it would be too easy...

[XJnine]

chrono trigger

[Schwarz]

It was too easy easn't it...
Alright your turn XJ :)

[pym]

Go on, XJ, we're waiting for your riddle...

[XJnine]

Here's one that probably ended up selling more copies being bundled with video cards than stand alone sales. It was released in 1999 for the PC and it also ended up being released on the Dreamcast. This screenshot was taken on a Matrox video card. (?!?!)
