Title: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on July 11, 2004, 07:27:56 PM: Another oldie revived. I'll reiterate the rules for the new folks:

1. The person who guesses the game correctly can either submit their own, or if they can't be arsed, nominate another person (assuming they want to)
2. Any media relating to the game, whether that be screenshots, videos, audio files etc. can be used - if it's an audio or video file, though, keep a reasonable filesize; for audio, I'd recommend a monaural MP3 file with a bitrate of 24kb/s or thereabouts, and for video, a 320x240 150kb/s monaural WMV, MPEG or AVI file should be okay. Length for either should be kept to a minute maximum.

Anyhow, on with the show...

The first game, with a soundtrack which should go down as one of the best ever. (http://www.ldine91.freeserve.co.uk/misc/Game.mp3)

And no, it's not listed in my "Other Games" list ;P

Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on July 12, 2004, 06:18:33 PM: Funny, it's just a normal MP3... Windows Media Player 7 upwards or Winamp should handle it no problem.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Liebatron on July 13, 2004, 02:47:17 AM: what game is it from. :???: :???: :???:........oh yeah...guess the game... >:(
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on July 14, 2004, 04:03:46 PM: Well, seeing as how nobody knows it (hell, nobody even attempted, you lazy people >=/), I may as well post the answer: it was Konami's Sparkster, released for the SNES in 1994.

Next one, this should hopefully be a lot easier. (http://www.ldine91.freeserve.co.uk/misc/Game.JPG) It's another Konami SNES game, by the way.

EDIT: And ignore the "59/60" at the bottom, that's just the emulator's framerate counter.

Post by: Andi on July 14, 2004, 05:44:28 PM: Contra III - The Alien wars! :D
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Lemika on July 14, 2004, 05:53:36 PM: Ah, that explains it. I have an outdated version of that and I've never bothered to upgrade it, since times like this are the only times I ever use the thing.

And I have no idea about the second one, except that it sounds like Andi is right to me.

Contra III - The Alien wars! :D

Correct, even though I already told you over MSN :D
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Andi on July 14, 2004, 08:17:36 PM: Now what's that (http://people.freenet.de/lemmings/misc/game.png)?

I had to censor it, because then it would be too easy. ;P
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Lemika on July 15, 2004, 06:45:42 PM: Spiderman or something? I have no idea.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on July 16, 2004, 05:27:02 PM: My guess is an X-Men game of some kind, judging by the dude on the left... give us a couple of hints =P
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Lemika on July 16, 2004, 05:29:35 PM: Maybe some sort of 'superhero showdown' thing?
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Andi on July 16, 2004, 07:34:12 PM: It has a bit of spiderman, a bit of superheroshowdownthing and the world's famost hedgehog is part of the name.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Lemika on July 16, 2004, 07:51:58 PM: Well, that would be Sonic, right? Unfortunately, I still don't know what it is :P
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on July 16, 2004, 08:46:16 PM: Sonic Blastman?
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Andi on July 16, 2004, 10:02:18 PM: G3K is almost right. It is Sonic Blastman 2. So it's now your turn.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on July 16, 2004, 10:18:16 PM: Have a stab at this one. (http://www.ldine91.freeserve.co.uk/misc/Game.JPG)
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Lemeri on July 17, 2004, 12:23:12 AM: I'd say some kind of Sonic game...
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Lemika on July 17, 2004, 12:24:16 AM: Is that a rabbit or something? Ehr... maybe I'll figure it out in a while.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on July 17, 2004, 11:02:22 AM: Lemeri> Nope, however Sonic Team was the reason this game didn't get the exposure it deserved.

L'K> Again, nope, not a rabbit =P
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Lemika on July 17, 2004, 12:25:24 PM: True, it seems to have a tail. Unfortunately, I'm drawing a complete blank on what else it could be right now.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Andi on July 17, 2004, 05:35:04 PM: Could be a mouse. Is it a sonic clone?
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on July 17, 2004, 05:49:14 PM: Nope, not a clone, completely different game.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Lemika on July 17, 2004, 07:26:15 PM: Okay, so it may or may not be a mouse, it has a jetpack, and you seem to need to find crystals.
Urg. I have no clue. Well, actually, I probably have several clues - I'm just putting them together wrong.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on July 19, 2004, 03:06:25 PM: Okay, seeing as how nobody's getting that one... it's Sparkster 2 : Rocket Knight Adventures, released by Konami in 1994 for the Sega Megadrive. And just to clear up the species argument, Sparkster is an Australian possum.

Anyway, new game, and this time it's a Sega Megadrive release title... this lad was Sega's mascot before Sonic showed up. Here's the pic. (http://www.ldine91.freeserve.co.uk/misc/Game.JPG)
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Lemika on July 19, 2004, 04:09:09 PM: Is it that vampire-thing? Or was that not even Sega?
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on July 19, 2004, 04:12:00 PM: ...vampire? XD

Well, yeah, it's the little dude in the red with the mullet.

Another hint: His initials are AK.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Lemika on July 19, 2004, 04:14:47 PM: So it's not the vampire. Garn, I have no idea...
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Andi on July 19, 2004, 06:49:16 PM: AK? Hm... AK-47. XD

Maybe his name is Achmed Kalashnikov or so. Anyway this game looks really weird. :P
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Lemeri on July 19, 2004, 09:05:22 PM: I'm stumped.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Liebatron on July 19, 2004, 09:14:34 PM: i can't get to the picture. links aren't working on my computer or something.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Timballisto on July 21, 2004, 01:51:23 AM: !!!!!!!WT........... O_O That's.......an odd game.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Liebatron on July 22, 2004, 04:27:38 AM: what's the game about?
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on July 22, 2004, 10:51:50 AM: A game description taken from MobyGames...

A*** K***, resident of planet Aries, is the brother to the king. One day he comes across a rumor that his long lost father, King Thor, is alive and somewhere on the planet Paperock.

Now Paperock is a place where you have to be good at the game of 'Paper, Rock and Scissors' to get anywhere. With that knowledge you must take control of A***, guide him through the odd natured, unfriendly planet and help him find his father.

It's a side-scrolling platformer, like Mario.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Lemeri on July 22, 2004, 04:14:34 PM: It sounds kinda stupid, but I still down't know.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on July 22, 2004, 05:24:25 PM: Seeing as how absolutely nobody is getting it... Alex Kidd And The Enchanted Castle, released in 1989 for the Sega Megadrive. Moving on, and it's a Master System game now.

Here it is. (http://www.ldine91.freeserve.co.uk/misc/Game.JPG)
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Andi on July 22, 2004, 08:04:55 PM: Hm. The guy in the mi9ddle of the screen rememinds me to Banjo-Kazooi (or however it is spelled). But I know that's not the name. XD
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Lemeri on July 24, 2004, 03:33:43 PM: Well, it looks kinda like a fox, so I guess it could be Starfox.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on July 24, 2004, 05:15:28 PM: Correct, it is a fox, but it's not Starfox.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Lemeri on July 24, 2004, 10:10:15 PM: Well, I got kind of close.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Timballisto on July 25, 2004, 12:46:23 AM: The only Starfoxes I know of are for SNES, N64 (Now THAT version RULES ALL!!!), and Gamecube (Heard that one sucked).
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Liebatron on July 26, 2004, 03:14:18 AM: i got starfox snes and it's actually pretty good.

(starfox 64 rules all)
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Lemeri on July 28, 2004, 04:34:53 PM: None of this has to do with guessing the game.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on July 28, 2004, 04:39:20 PM: omg u ppl liek suk at thiz :<

That was Psycho Fox for the Sega Master System.

Someone should at LEAST be able to get the character. (http://www.ldine91.freeserve.co.uk/misc/Game.JPG)
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on August 01, 2004, 09:56:11 PM: Seeing as how nobody's going to bother their arse even TRYING, I'm going to make the next one obvious as possible. The last one was Megaman VII for SNES.

Which game's had its music buggered thanks to incorrect emulation? (http://www.ldine91.freeserve.co.uk/misc/Game.mp3)
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Andi on August 02, 2004, 09:16:52 AM: Hm, the one above I must have overred, :???: I can't remember that post.

The mp3,... is it one of the kirby games?
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on August 02, 2004, 11:16:51 AM: Nope, not a Kirby game; it's for the Megadrive.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Andi on August 02, 2004, 12:47:52 PM: Lemmings for the megadrive? :D
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Lemeri on August 02, 2004, 02:20:06 PM: I can't get the music clip. It says one or more files are missing.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on August 02, 2004, 04:57:23 PM: Funny, I can access it just fine... you might be missing a codec or something, try getting Winamp.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Andi on August 06, 2004, 07:40:17 AM: Hm, what kind of game is it?
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on August 06, 2004, 10:44:33 AM: Platformer.

:EDIT: Remember, since I've modified the sound emulation, it'll sound a bit different in the actual game.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Andi on August 06, 2004, 12:58:11 PM: Rainbow Islands?
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on August 06, 2004, 01:46:11 PM: Nope, although that is a pretty damn good game in its own right from what I've heard.

:EDIT: I'd give you a hint... but that'd make it too obvious. Hell, that last sentence might've even given it away!

:EDIT 2: Quick puzzle time, folks! Mario is to Nintendo what OMGWTFBBQ is to Sega.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Andi on August 06, 2004, 03:10:30 PM: Sonic Pinball? (it just flew into my mind.)

//edit1: Argh! Sonic Pinball is no platform game! Is it a Sonic game?

//edit 2: Wait! It could be Sonic 3 and Knuckles and the music is from the Egyptian Theme!

//edit 3: But Sonic is no puzzle game. X_X
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on August 06, 2004, 03:21:01 PM: You've got the right idea, but nope, it's not Spinball, 3 or Knuckles.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Ice_Eagle91 on August 14, 2004, 12:25:23 AM: I think this topic should be moved to the Other Games board, because it's a games topic.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: namida on August 14, 2004, 04:22:38 AM: Yep, it should ^_^
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on September 02, 2004, 03:55:47 PM: Okay, I've concluded that you people are rubbish at this o_o

Anyway, on with the next one.

Keep listening to the end and you may recognise it as the soundtrack to a certain famous DisasterLabs Flash. (http://www.ldine91.freeserve.co.uk/misc/Game.mp3)
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Andi on September 02, 2004, 04:44:50 PM: Arfenhouse 2?
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on September 02, 2004, 04:47:31 PM: Right movie, but what's the game it's from?

Hint: Capcom.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Andi on September 02, 2004, 05:08:50 PM: Is Mega-Man from Capcom?
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on September 02, 2004, 05:13:01 PM: Yep... it's close enough, so I'll give you it; Megaman 2, specifically.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Liebatron on January 15, 2005, 12:20:15 AM: I've got one, (Andi, you may intervene at any time during this guess because you really did get the last one.) &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; quote "once i am finished with you, the seal will open between the two worlds." unquote,
Guess what game that's from. HINT:Chain link

(the quote may be a bit off) it's either dark world and light world, or the two worlds.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: G3K on January 15, 2005, 12:43:54 AM: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes?
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Liebatron on January 15, 2005, 05:09:25 AM: nope.
If you knew the answer then you would know why that seems like a really wierd answer.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Timballisto on January 26, 2005, 11:22:00 PM: Ax, your quote was off enough to make the answer more hidden. It was: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Timballisto on March 05, 2005, 10:12:13 PM: Here's a game descript. Guess from this.

This 1989 game pits a good god against an evil one. You must level land for your people to settle on and destroy your opponent's people. You can use spells such as swamp, knight, volcano, earthquake, flood, and armageddon. Each side has a unit called a priest, who lets you do things on the map even though you are not there (you are playing a god, so you aren't there). Only the priest can be directly controlled.

hint: think D.angerously M.orose A.ugers.

Post by: Lemeri on March 06, 2005, 12:35:03 AM: Uh... It sounds sorta like one of the early Populous games, but I don't have any idea.
Title: Re: Guess The Game
Post by: Timballisto on March 06, 2005, 06:30:14 AM: Wow. Okay, Lemeri, it was THE Populous. Your turn I guess.
