I'm going to vaguely describe a game and everyone can attempt to guess what it is. Whoever correctly guesses it gets to do the same.
Hint: You have two swords, everyone is named after food and letting milk turn into cheese is a cheap way to the best healing item in the game.
The Vag Game?
No, that's in S&B.
THAT SOUNDS LIKE A CAPITAL IDEA
Brave Fencer Musashi?
Winner!Quote:

Star Control? Master of Monsters?
He's a TNL poster that doesn't read the thread and talks out of turn. >:O
Neither of those.
It's only your turn if you're the one who guesses correctly.
Brand is up, g0zen is not.
I actually don't know the game, I really do need help finding it.Quote:

That game with the guys who look like Bert and Ernie in it.
Ok nevermind, I figured it out. It's Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday
No, but they do have guns and shoot at things.Quote:

Probably, and those were awesome games.
Where's Brand with an answer?
Not sure, but this doesn't work well if the people don't check back regularly.
Well fuck it, we all know Frog was right, it's his turn now.
It was a top down game with little dudes, but the screen didn't scroll and you had to rescue dudes.
Robotron?
gain ground?

Frog was right.
Lord of the Sword?
You must be old... haha. You're up again.
It's an old 3D game where you go in a pyramid.
If it's not Pyramid Patrol, it should be.
No it's got polygons and junk
shit
Serious Sam?
Super Mario 64 has a pyramid, also polygons
A lot of games have pyramids and polygons.
No, it's like from the 80s. And you go in the pyramid for like the whole game.
I dunno man I think we've got this one covered
edit: fuck
Marathon?
Marathon is on a space station :p I think you meant Pathways into Darkness. But that's not polygons and it's from the 90s. Good guess otherwise though, I forgot that game was in a Pyramid.
powerslave?
80s!
lol 80's and polygons... Aztec Challenge 3D?
How many could there be?Quote:

It's an arcade game where you play as a very small creature in several (I think at least four) different mini-games, selectable from a main menu of sorts. The name of the game is the name of the creature, and also a pun on the kind of creature he is.
I can't believe is was actually DDR.
Grave wins the thread.
Beezer? Pig Newton?
Mr. F.Lea?
You got it!
Mr. F. Lea
Has anyone actually played it? I only saw it one time at a convenience store in San Diego when I was super small.Quote:
Of the 42,128 video games (3,141 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 1 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records.
I haven't seen a real machine but I have played it emulated.
For the next game - One of the earliest side-scrolling platformers. You play as a bird.
Flicky, methinks
Nope. The one I'm thinking of came out the year before Flicky, I'm pretty sure.
To make it a bit easier to guess - It's for Atari and Commodore 8-bit computers and it starts with an 'S'.
snookie
Close enough. It's Snokie.
Dammit, I was going to guess Snokie.
im thinking of a pinball game for the NES that has an RPG mode.
oh and Neo, since i loved when you would have your gradual reveal trivia posts from a screenshot (and you dont do them anymore), would you mind if i took over that idea?
Sounds like Pinball Quest.
Sure.Quote:
