Name That Game!

[silverDistortioN]

okay, here are the rules...
one person thinks of a game and gives an obscure hint as to which game it is.
you have to name which system it's for...

then everyone else has to guess. if people are having too much trouble, just give another hint. =)
whoever guesses correctly gets free... um... thing. ^.^
oh, and you do the next hint as well.

first one will be an easy one:
this game stars a plumber who can gain flying racoon powers. (NES)

[Zedie9]

:) Super Marion Bros 3 - though I thought it was on SNES...

[Locke Cole]

Doh, silver edited his post after :/

Okay, me next :p No peeking on gamefaqs or google to cheat, either. :p

I'm thinking of a game where you compete against AI and other players using rabbits and rhinos. (PSX)

[silverDistortioN]

i added an edit right after you posted... if you get it right, you have to do the next hint. =)

[Locke Cole]

Make up all the rules before posting, damnit. I had to edit mine twice already, and since Zedie didn't add a next hint, you can use mine next :p

I'm thinking of a game where you compete against AI and other players using rabbits and rhinos. (PSX)

[silverDistortioN]

yeah, i didn't mean to imply that Zedie's supposed to come up with the next one... since you already posted yours. it's just for future reference. =)

but i don't know this one... so i'm not guessing. =)

[Locke Cole]

How long do you think is good between hints? 24 hours? That should give most people a chance to nab at it.

[Kyari]

I could be wrong, but I think it's a Kart game of some sort. But what game . . .

[silverDistortioN]

How long do you think is good between hints? 24 hours? That should give most people a chance to nab at it. yeah, 24 is a good number to start with...
but if the boards are slow, then you might want to make it a little longer.

[Kyari]

With these forums, I don't really think there's any way you can put a number on the average activity of the boards. It's all up to the timing. I'd say to take a look at the situation when it's there. 24 is probably going to be a minimum, but hey - situations may provide, y'know?

[Kilu]

What an obscure hint. No games come to my mind. Blank.

[Nahkrinoth]

Ummm...nothing comes to mind. Post another hint.

[jetblue]

Is it tomba?
If not then monster rancher.

Its a american game right?

[Zedie9]

:knockedout: ...need... more... hints ;)

[pikatsu]

Flash? Some sort of robot rabbit...

[Kilu]

The first game that comes to my mind is Crash Team Racing or whatever the name is for that Crash Banicoot mario kart ripoff. But I don't remember any rhinos or bunnies in there :p

[Zedie9]

:) I own that game - it has no rhino that I can recall. :spin:

[Kilu]

I used to own it too, got it cheap :) It actually was a fun game, eventhough it's a total ripoff.

[Locke Cole]

Alright, I think its time for a new hint. This one should give it away.

You race against your opponents, and use items such as bombs to knock them down.

[pikatsu]

Whacky Wheels? And a bit of message stuffing....

[Locke Cole]

1. I'm thinking of a game where you compete against AI and other players using rabbits and rhinos. (PSX)

2. You race against your opponents, and use items such as bombs to knock them down.

Console: Playstation

Come on people, this one is fairly easy. I guess none of you have played it :/ I'll give you a hint, part of the game's name is in one of the clues.

[Kyari]

Might be Bomberman Fantasy Race, but I can't remember all of the animals yo can play as in that game . . .

[Locke Cole]

If you have played the game Kyari, you would know that you can ONLY pick rhinos and rabbits, thus yes, you got it right. ;) Your turn to name a game.

[Kyari]

I could have sworn you got to be kangaroos and dinosaurs and other things . . . oh well, my mind is porous at best.

I'm thinking of a platformer, in which you, as either a black or white kid, search for cards, in enfranchised mayhem . . . (NES)

I played this game a lot as a kid. No battery save . . . it stayed on a lot. I got it from my aunt as a christmas present. If you guys can't get it, I'll tell you where my aunt works . . . :D

[Zeugma 440]

Sounds like this McDonald's game... what was it's name... MC Kids ??

[Kilu]

Bomberman Fantasy Race
I have never even heard of this game :wonder: Probably that 'living in Europe' bull again :p As for the next one, I'm thinking Zeugma got it right.

[Kyari]

He did;very good Zeugma.

By the way, my aunt works as a manager at two of the McDonald's locations on PEI . . . that's where I got it from.

It's his go now.

[Zedie9]

Sounds like this McDonald's game... what was it's name... MC Kids ??
:) I've heard before that the McKids game was sort of decent, given what it was. :spin:

[Kilu]

Hey, Zedie why are you being so secretive? I mean, I know you are here right now, but you have chosen not be displayed in the Current Users list. Wuss. And you have also disabled Private Messages. What's up with that?

[Zedie9]

:evilgrin: There's no point in lurking if you lurk in plain site. :roll:

However, I'd meant to turn the messaging thingy on. :bouncy:

[Kilu]

Hooray, turn the PM on fast so that I can harass you all day long. And why would you want to be lurking? :p Secrecy... pffffff.

Favourite VGM Album:
Anything Kilu hates. ;)

:furious:

[Zedie9]

:D Well... isn't it tradition now to reference you somewhere in my profile? :angel:

[Kilu]

I suppose so. But I'm truely wondering what made you start it in the first place :p

[Zeugma 440]

Stop it ! :smash: Here's my hint :

The game I think about closely follows one of the implicit rules of RPGs : village, dungeon, village, dungeon,village... (SNES)

[Kilu]

That is rather vague. My money is on Lufia 2.

[Kie]

Zelda 3 maybe?

[TheDragonKnight]

well thats pretty vague hmm but i suppose id guess.... secret of evermore, every area included its own town/s as well as at least two duengons (you naturally went back to town between duengons)

[Kaze Nigai]

It was such a broad clue, I'd imagine it's a game that must force you back to town between battles...*can't think of anything that comes to mind though* >.O;

[Kyari]

Geez, you must admit thatit is pretty vague . . . first thing that comes to mind for me is Earthbound.

[silverDistortioN]

okay, everyone... from now on try to provide an obscure hint to a fairly well-known game. (rather than a vague hint to a game like captain novolin or something.)

try to give creative hints... make it riddle-like... try to make us go "duh! why didn't i think of that one before!"

things would probably be more fun if you hint on the easy side, i think. =)
at least for the first few games, maybe.

[Zeugma 440]

Okay, one of you is really close to the correct answer. I have to admit that my hint is rather vague, so here's another one that should clear things up :

The game I think about could have been released on NES, according to its breathtaking graphics and interface

[pikatsu]

Could? Or couldn't?
Secret of Mana?
Lufia 2?

[Kie]

What's that supposed to mean Zeugma. Do you mean that you don't know what console it was on, or that it's graphics were such that it might as well have been put on the NES?

[Yuffie]

I've never heard of that game but it does sound fun. :D

EDIT!!!
My bad, I posted for an earlier post thinking I was on the last page. :p

Tales of Phantasia?
As I recall that had bucket loads of villages and dungeons. :p

One of my emulator games. :rofl:
Need to play it again sometime, as I recall I didn't finish it and I can't remember it much now.

I thought Vagrant Story at first, then saw the console. :p

[Kilu]

With that second hint, it's more than obviously Lufia and the fortress of doom.

[Yuffie]

You know this is a perfect thread for me to pick up ideas for games to download. :rofl:

*makes a list* :p

[Zeugma 440]

Yuffie> :shame: How dare you ! Tales of Phantasia is one of the most beautiful RPGs on SNES !

Kilu> That was obvious with this hint, yup ;) Maybe the others do not know this game *shrugs*

Now it's your turn, Kilu :D

[Kilu]

Well, here goes.

The game I'm thinking about involves a rabbit on a harley with a big gun. (SNES)

[pikatsu]

Biker Mice from Mars?

[kaserdan]

It rings a bell... Isn't it Clay Fighter ?

[Lord Draud]

jazz jack rabit?

[Yuffie]

Zeugma: My apologies, I meant the game no offence. I'm very fond of it and upon further playing I can confirm there are not nearly as many dungeons and villages as I first thought. :)But I am somewhat pissed off at my emulator which decided not to save my game. :(

[Yuffie]

BUMP! Don't let this thread die, I need it to choose which games to steal! :p

[Kilu]

One answer is close.

The game I'm thinking about involves a rabbit on a harley with a big gun. (SNES)

second hint.

The rabbit's name is Hoppy and he is a Terminator wannabe.

I know the second hint is bad, but there is nothing in this game that I could say without giving it a way immediately :p Though it's probably quite easy guess as it is now.

[Mithrandir]

Could it be Clay Fighter 2? :nana:

All my money is on Clay Fighter 2 because I used to have this game on SNES. And Hoppy was the one that thorwed carrots.

[Kilu]

Yes, that is correct. Clay Fighter 2: Judgment Clay. Hoppy has a serious Schwarzenegger issues :)

And now it's your turn :)

[kaserdan]

So it was a Clay Fighter game...

Should have known it was the second one ! It's the only one I've played in the serie :shame:

The mad snowman was cool ! (The alternate version)

[Kilu]

Bad Mr. Frosty! :) I always liked the Ickybob clay or whatever the name was. The ghost one :) It was in the firts instalment, don't remember if in the second. Anyway... MITH!

[OutcastedNomad]

well is mith in the house. I almost had that one.

[Mithrandir]

ok here I go....


the main hero is a monkey
He wears sunglasses

hehe, let's see wgat kind of answer you give...

[Kilu]

System would be nice to know.

Ape Escape maybe?

[Mithrandir]

Okay then it's on NES. It's an old game and not everyone might know it.

I guess I could post a picture of the main character....

Here:

http://etudiants.fsa.ulaval.ca/eehef/Bazar/game.png

That should give out the answer :p

[silverDistortioN]

T&C surf design! ^.^

...i remember reading about it in nintendo power when i was little, but i thought it was stupid... so when i came across it at the thrift store a couple years ago, i decided not to pick it up. =)

[Kilu]

wee. I'm actually glad that I have never heard of some surfing monkey :)

[bjp4444]

hey did if silver got this right, then it's silver's turn! you've be on the clock for a long time!

-bjp

[Lenna]

WHEE DEAD THREAD! Say something guys!

[Astrolounge]

I like to revive dead threads. Then I put on ladies clothing and hang around on the docks late at night. Or is that Astrolounge who likes to do that second part?
There, Someone said something for you at my expense. Sorry for using the quote for evil, but I think it's funny.
Particularly the docks part, that way pure gold the way you didn't put it, your hilarious when your misquoted!

Somehow I get the feeling I'm going to be hevily critizized for doing this... but keep in mind all the funny things everyone could be not really saying right now!
Ok, that's enough of that. I couldn't resist, sorry in advance is I annoyed anybody.

[pikatsu]

I'm confused. :bawl:

[Lance Alvein]

So am I...

[Yuffie]

What's the point in dressing in ladies clothes and hanging around the docks?

Aren't sailors all gay?! They wear white polo necks! :amazed:

[Astrolounge]

I quoted Lenna's post, then changed what was written in it.
Hence why I said "Misquoted".
I admit my grammer there, while correct for the situation, is rather confusing.

[Locke]

Hmmm, I may be out of line in posting a game here due to it being silvers turn, technically, but it's been a real long time, so I'll go ahead and add a game for everybody to guess.

First Hint : It's a NES game which the main character uses a mallet

and just so it's a little more specific, a

Second Hint : The main character is constantly mashing things.

There, lets see if anybody can guess this old gem.

Also, Lance, you should refrain from guessing because, as my younger brother, you should know this game.

[Kilu]

Wrecking Crew

Maybe not. The original Donkey Kong :D

[pikatsu]

Ice Climber :smash:


Hum, maybe he uses an ice pick... :smash:


:smash:
:knockedout:

___:smash:
http://rpgn.lintbox.net/hosting/userfiles/Kilu/megamosh.gif

[Astrolounge]

Potato-masher man, Spuds revenge?

[Locke]

Nope to all so far :p

I can't believe I actually had a cartridge copy of this, it was definently an interesting game.

[Lance Alvein]

I know what one it is... and I actually think it was my game and not yours :p

[pikatsu]

You sure it's not Ice Climber?

http://www.atomicpixie.com/product.asp?id=3510&type=gba

That's a mallet, if anything... :smash:

Or maybe Hammerin' Harry...

http://64.53.95.207/harry/harry.html

"That ain't a mallet, This is a mallet!"

[Locke]

Yep, I'm sure it's not ice climber or hammerin' harry. I'll give you guys another hint.

Third Hint: Your character wears a tophat through the entire game


Lance DL'd the game last night. Man did that ever bring back memories.

[Yuffie]

I don't know any games like it but does it have either the Mad Hatter or Timmy Mallet in it? :rofl:

[Locke]

Nope :D. Neither of those characters are in it. :D

[Raven]

How About This:

A game where you use no stealth, use pure sword charging power to destroy your enemies, run on walls, and kill bosses faster than any other game out there.

[Lance Alvein]

Raven - you need to wait for the last game to be guessed before posting another one, also: only the winner, or a designated poster, may post the next game.

As Locke is away from a computer right now, I'm in charge of posting the next clue.

Clue # 3 : The game's cover is
http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/2656/name8mu.png (http://www.imageshack.us)

PS: Locke, I found the instruction book today... it was in the mail basket :p

[Yuffie]

Ok now I give up, I KNOW I don't know this. :rofl:

Looks like something from the 80s.

[Locke]

Everybody else give up? If so, I'll post the name of the game at 5pm est. (I think it's 5pm est anyways, 6pm on PEI.)

[M.H.A.Q.S.]

Is it Pinochio's Mouse Hunt :P?

[Locke]

Nope, though it does start with a P :p

One Hour 10 minutes until I post the name of the game.

[Raven]

The game is Pesterminator. I saw a huge balloon display of the mallet guy and mouse before. I think it was somewhere in Santa Ana if anyone lives around where I live.

[jetblue]

Thats a cool looking cover. Reminds me of animation from the 20's and 30's. Love that style.

[Locke]

Hey, Kudo's to ya Raven, you got it. Man that's such a fun game :p

[Locke]

I'd say if Raven doesn't post within another day or two that the floor should be opened up to whoever thinks they could stump all the rest of us. Good luck to ye :evillaugh:

[Raven]

Hint #1: You walk around and beat up "people" that get in your way.

Hint #2: You can pull off their limbs and make them yours.

Sorry I didn't post something sooner.

[Doreagarde]

That's not a game, Raven, that's high school gym class! Seriously, though, I haven't a clue.

[Raven]

It's a game I used to play when I was a kid; I even forgot the name for a while before I made the post! http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

[Yuffie]

Some sort of lego game..? O.o

Except maybe the whole beating up part :p

[Raven]

Nope but I was playing LEGO Star Wars for PS2 the other day. I highly recommend it...it's probably the best Star Wars game I've played. It kinda makes you wanna buy some LEGOS lol.

[Locke]

... Mario ... :p Honestly I have no idea.

[pikatsu]

Rayman?


:confused: :confused: :confused:

[Kunai20]

Time Killer? http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/confused.gif

[pikatsu]

Zombies ate my neighbours? :p :chef:

[Raven]

You guys give up? I'll post the answer in One Hour.

[Raven]

Its been lil more than an hour so here it is. Its for Sega Genesis and it's:

[Locke]

Hmmm, I'll toss in one, I guess. It's been 3 days.

Hint Number 1 - This is a game about a bird.

Hint Number 2 - This is a game for SNES


Lance, Blade, Kai, anybody else that played this game at my house, please give others a shot at it.

[Raven]

oops ignore this

[Locke]

Nope, not Daffy Duck anything.

Hint Number 3 - You talk to a giant potted sunflower at the end of each level.

Hint Number 4 - Balloons tied to pipe fixtures must be used to save the game.

Hint Number 5 - You collect crystals throughout the game for points and can spit balls of peanut butter if you pick up a jar of it.

Hope these hints help out in determining the game.

[Yuffie]

I'm certain I don't know the answer but it sounds like a pretty weird game, which appeals to me. :D

[Locke]

It's definently a weird game. Wish I could find my copy of it :bawl:

[Lance Alvein]

How much longer do you want me to wait before blabbing the answer??? :p

[Locke]

Go ahead in about another 4 or 5 hours if nobody gets it by then.

[Lance Alvein]

The game that Locke is referring to is:
Super Alfred Chicken


New game:
Clue 1: It is a Japanese SNES game
Clue 2: It is a party game


Locke, Blade, Kai, and anybody else from home who knows the answer, please hold off until others get a chance to answer.

[Locke]

Very well. I think I know which game it is already, and if it's what I'm thinking of good luck everybody.

[Zeugma 440]

Lance> Is it Warrio Ware ? That game defintely rocks with 4 players on it :rofl:

[Lance Alvein]

I did state that it was a SNES game... as far as I know, Wario Ware is for Gamecube and handheld systems only.

Clue 3: There are no Mario characters in this game'

That might help you out a bit :p

[Kilu]

Monopoly? :D

No idea really.

[Raven]

Okay I'm gonna make a guess that it's: EVO - The Search for Eden

http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/confused.gif

[Locke]

Nope, not EVO, but a good guess (Got it covered Lance).

And Lance, give a less generic clue. Your first three there really didn't narrow it down at all.

[Lance Alvein]

Hmmm... more clues:

Clue 4: You fight in battles like a normal RPG
Clue 5: This game is an offshoot of a popular Japanese only RPG series

lets see if these clues are more help...

[Yuffie]

Gah, if it's only in Japanese there's no way I'd play it anyway. :rofl:

Unless it's translated in a bad but amusing way.

[pikatsu]

Mother? Or what was that name...

[Locke]

I'd say give it another day or so Lance, and if nobody gets it by then I'll give another one a whirl :p

[kai]

treasure hunter g?
or that rudras one?

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
you sent me both games but I never got around to playing them before I moved so I throw them at you as guesses.

[Kilu]

I would have guessed a lot of games, but none of them are really *party* games. But ofcourse your definition might be different :D

Seiken Densetsu 3

[Locke]

Nope to all 3 guesses :p. Remember, while those are Japanese games, this one hasn't been fully translated yet, I believe.

[Lance Alvein]

I don't think that I have ever seen a patch for this game, but as its easy, there's no need for one :p

Next clue:
Clue 6: The game has a 3 word name, the last of which is Kids. :p

see if that'll help anyone

[kai]

Ok then here I guess again :
Scramble Saber Kids
moster maker kids

Should those both be wrong I'll try again later today.

[Lance Alvein]

And Kai names the game... It was Monster Maker Kids.

[kai]

MWAH HA HA HA :evilgrin:

ummm here's an easy one :

Clue 1 : It's a strategy based game for snes
Clue 2 : You can conrol each unit individually

[Lance Alvein]

is it.... Ogre Battle?

[kai]

I'm sorry Lance but the game is not ogre batte. I'll expand upon one of my clues (not really a new clue) :

Clue A : Looking on from an isometric perspective you control an army of men and you have to follow orders and complete missions.

[Zeugma 440]

Front Mission ? (well, it's not technically men but hey, there are humans inside those gears ;) )

[kai]

Sorry, it's not Front Mission

Clue 3 : When your units die they scream and fly into the air before hitting the ground and fading away.

[Lance Alvein]

Sounds like Warsong to me... but thats on the Genesis... I guess any SNES version of Warsong

[Yuffie]

So it's pretty much like every other RTS game in general? :p

The only SNES games I've ever played are on an emulator. :rofl:

The real thing is before my time....well....sorta. :D

[Locke]

I say the game is Cannon Fodder.

[kai]

yep yep . . . . ooo I wonder how you figured it out. :emlaugh: It really was a fun game, though the screams did tend to eat at one's nerves.

[Locke]

Alrighty, time for yet another SNES game.

Hint Number 1 - Every character in the game is mechanical.

Hint Number 2 - The game has a western setting.

Kai, Lance, Blade, anybody else that played it at my place, let's let other people give it a go first.

[Lance Alvein]

Why is it that every game you choose, is one that I own? :p

[Locke]

Because every game that I own is a kickass RPG pretty well, and everybody knows them. You've got the odd obscure ones.

[Raven]

I'm pretty sure its: The Great Battle V

Western setting with Gundams wearing ponchos and using revolvers. Lol
Loved this game as a kid.

[Locke]

Nope. It's not that at all.

Hint Number 3 - The entire game takes place over the course of a week.

Hint Number 4 - At the beginning of each day you play a bonus level where you shoot bottles repeatedly into the air until they get red hot and break or hit the ground and break.

[kai]

hmmm . . . . sounds like Lone Star to me.

[Locke]

Nope, not quite, but I know you know the game and that name should be a clue.

It's fairly close.

[kai]

woops . . . sorry I meant Tinstar . . . meh all those ol' western names sound alike I suppose.

ok this may be a little too easy but seeing as how it is such a good game I will post the clues anyways.

CLUE 1 : Action RPG for snes

CLUE 2 : The midget mallet is an item in the game

[Locke]

I say Earthbound :p (Not right I do believe, but I'll toss that in as my first guess.)

[kai]

Sorry locke that's not it (you of all people should get this one eventually). I'd post more clues but I think I'll wait til tomorrow.

[Lance Alvein]

Secret of Mana

[Locke]

I was giving it time, shame on you Lance http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/shame.gif

[kai]

I knew that was way too easy . . . . . . that and the midget mallet kind of gave it away. :D

[Locke]

Yeah, I was giving it time. I knew that one as soon as I saw midgit mallet. Lance, you should be ashamed of throwing that out so quickly :shame:

[Lance Alvein]

But I wanted to win :p and besides - I waited one day...

Clue #1: This is an RPG for SNES

Clue #2: You have a choice of 6 characters, you choose 3 of them.

Clue #3: This is the 3rd game in a popular Japanese series, the second of which was a very popular SNES game

[Locke]

Seiken Densetsu 3.

[Lance Alvein]

i think that one was too easy :p

[Locke]

Figured I'd hit you back for guessing Kai's way to fast. I don't have a game ready right now, so if somebody wants to jump in with one, feel free. I open the floor (but not to Lance or Kai, lets give somebody else a shot at posting a game)

[kai]

ANYBODY!?!?!? :dotsign:

[Blade Tanaka]

I've got nothing for now...

[helldragon]

since i new at this ill make a easy one
clue 1: its a shooter for the genesis that didnt go so well

[Locke]

.... Any and all shooters on the Genesis :p

[helldragon]

its a vauge clue but sumbody will get it ill put a new clue tommorw

[Lance Alvein]

I don't think anyone will be able to guess it with only those clues to go on... you should give us at least one more clue now...

[DonQuixote]

/me thinks he forgot

[trip]

Contra? Gunstar Heroes? I dunno if Vectorman counts

[Locke]

/me thinks he forgotMethinks you be right my dancing friend.

[trip]

I'll take his turn then =D


scratch that I have a better question.

This game made it law in Japan that large anticipated games must be released on a holiday or weekend.

[Lance Alvein]

I believe that it was one of the Dragon Quest games... I think it was DQ VII

[trip]

damn... I didn't think anyone would get it so quickly...

[Lance Alvein]

I read it in an EGM :p

Clue #1 - This is a little known (as far as I can tell) strategy game for the SNES.

Clue #2 - It is part of a series by NCS, originating on the Genesis.

[Kilu]

Der Langrisser

[Lance Alvein]

Correct. :p

[Kilu]

Someone can take my turn, I can't think of any good hints on any game right now.

[Lance Alvein]

Neither could I... so Ijust went to gamefaqs and picked out an obscure game that I had on the computer... I guess the clues were too good though :p
