So this is like "20 questions" except you can ask more than 20.
I am thinking of an amiga game, that wasn't completely obscure. You ask questions, I answer those questions in a yes/no fashion. When you win, well, you are awesome and you can then start over with a game of your own
-
Did it involve a large purple talking mushroom that tasted a bit like yellow and lived in a wee cardboard box in a pink fluffy cloud somewhere near the bottom of the sea near old Mr Shugartys house ??? :)
-
Are you just going to keep changing games whenever someone gets it right? So how do we know you arn't cheating? :confused:
To me this makes as much sense as playing eye spy with my little eyes in a moving car over a lengthy period of time.
Are you at least going to give us a clue in the form of a gut wenching riddle?

Bueh ?
That would make it very hard for the answers to be consistent wouldn't it ?
I'll toss out a hint. The title of the game involves tools and a promise of steady employment.
-
so er, thats a negative :)
Drat... thought I had it there for a minute... :( (or perhaps that was one of my dreams !!!)
Hmm... Tools & steady employment... is this a C64 game by any chance ?
(sorry I should have said was this a C64 game as well... :))
-

Great minds think alike, but no, its not cannon fodder (that one involves vehicles at times)

Yes, though in multiplayer, you can use other control methods too (hey, two answers for one question here :) )
Hey! Bogus answer! You can play with joystick in single player mode.
I hate the mouse controls. I always play with joystick by myself.
-

Really ? I never knew that. My bad then :(
-
Nah... someone else can have a go, it's 5:35am here and I'm just about to have my dinner, catch you later... :)
-
Again? Wow everyone here must be super bored today. I can't go out it's too bloody hot. It's 38 degrees c outside :(
-
You also tricked my by saying "the people you control" when 2 of the units are not people but robots.
The funny thing is I was thinking of firing it up just yesterday to play it again!
-
Ok, I am thinking of a game set in the future.
-
Ok, I am thinking of a game set in the future.
UK publisher or no ?
-
UK publisher or no ?
Yes and No.

Not an adventure game. Not Cannon Fodder.
Obscure clue #2: There is a lot of techno in the game.
-
How many characters / units do you generally control ?
-
How many characters / units do you generally control ?
One.
-
Technomancer?
If not, is it a cyber punkish game?
-
Technomancer?
LOL! No :)
If not, is it a cyber punkish game?
I would not call it that. But I suppose it depends on your precise definition of cyberpunk.
If you give me an exact definition then I can answer in a better way.
-
Chaos Engine
-
Chaos Engine
That is steampunk not cyberpunk :)
And it has 2-player mode.
The game I am thinking of is only a 1 player game.
-
Is the game divided into levels?
-
robocop?
-
what year was it made in? what letter does it start with? :confused:
-
Is the game divided into levels?
Yes
-
robocop?
No but that is good guess! I liked that game.
-
Game starts with a consonant. :)
-
Sometimes you travel on foot. Other times you travel via high-speed vehicle.
-
another clue please. This is going way too slow :)
-
Robocop 3?
-
Batman?
-
another clue please. This is going way too slow :)
If it is going to slow it is because you are not asking the right questions :D
-
Robocop 3?
Another excellent guess! But sadly not the correct guess :)
Obscure clue #3 thereis nocop in the game I am thinkingof.
-
Batman?
Another good guess! I loved that game!
But alas it is not the game I was thinking of.
-
Obscure clue #3 there is no cop in the game I am thinking of.
Dang it! I was going to say Technocop but that clue killed that idea and I was also going to say Killing Cloud but that is ONLY in a vehicle...
Trully trully stumped...
-
Datz knot wat I said!
-
:nervous::nervous::huh::huh:
OK, so what did I miss? IS it Technocop?
-
Yes! uwin! :D
-
Yes! uwin! :D
YEAY!!!!!!!!
:hammer::flame::flak::uzi::destroy::swords::D
Ok, now for my game... Hmmmm....

GOT IT GOT IT!!!
Ok, This is a sports game that is not really a sport you'd see on TV.
Commence the Questions!!!!!
-
Ok, This is a sports game that is not really a sport you'd see on TV.
Commence the Questions!!!!!
Speedball ?
-
Speedball 2! Is it Speedball 2? I know it is :D
-
Nope, sorry guys, it is none of the Speedball games. As much as they are loved, that would have been WAY too easy. ;)
-
Future Basketball?
-
Sorry, but no. That's 3 so going with the flow...
Hint 1 = It takes place in a time period other than the present, near future or near past... and yes, I'm a stinker...:D
-
Defender of the Crown!
-
Defender of the Crown!
Although jousting IS a sport (and the official sport of Maryland, a thank-ya-very-much) it is not the sport, and therefore, the game...
-
psygnosis game?
-
psygnosis game?
No, but it is a better known publisher...
-
Can 4 players play simultaneously?
-
Two-player max.
{EDIT} Thinking about it more, I should say two-players max at one time...
-
Brutal Sports Football?
-
Racing game?
-
Brutal Sports Football?
Well done! Brutal Sports Football IS the game! I still hum the CD music from the CD2 game:) I even found a semi-replacement in the new Blood Bowl games :D
OK, Foleyjo, your up. Try and stump us!
-
WOOHOO!!
Ok just been back to check the rules.
So I'm thinking of an Adventure game that was unique (at the time)
-
Was it a RPG or Action game?
-
I would have to say Neither
-
Faery Tale Adventure?
-
not faery tale.
How 'bout a clue:
CLUE 1 - It was the first part of a trilogy
-
not faery tale.
How 'bout a clue:
CLUE 1 - It was the first part of a trilogy
¡Zork! ¿?
--
-
Not Zork
-
Gobli(ii?)ns ?
-
No but that is good guess! I liked that game.
I had that game on disc for my amstrad cpc. Was gutted in trying to hack the game to copy it, I accidentally wrote of over some of the tracks on the disk and ruined my copy :(
-
not gobliiins
clue: the 2nd game was a prequel in which you were a younger version of the baddy from the 1st
-
Were all 3 games in the trilogy released for Amiga?
-
yes all 3 were Amiga games.
-
Bard's Tale?
-
Is it a point and click game?
-
not bards tale
not point and click
Its joystick controlled
-
Dragon's Lair?
I had already figured out that you meant Dragon's Lair 10 minutes ago but the thing is that Dragon's Lair is not a trilogy! It has 4 games! You lose a point :D Double Points for me :)
-
except.... its not Dragons Lair.....
-
Was it a commercial game?
-
it was a commercial game. Released in 1994
-
Another World? (Out of This World)
If you consider On Escapee the third sequel :D
EDIT: Ah, haven't seen the release date...
-
Valhalla?
-
That's it Koshman
Valhalla and the lord of infinity to give it it's full title
-
Ha, I'm good :D
Btw, are the games any good? I've never played them much, because I wasn't able to understand the voices...
I really liked Time Keepers from Vulcan.
-
Ha, I'm good :D
Btw, are the games any good? I've never played them much, because I wasn't able to understand the voices...
I really liked Time Keepers from Vulcan.
I enjoyed them but they can get repetitive. Some of the puzzles were stupidly hard too. I like time keepers too. Wish I didn't sell it
-
Ok, then.
I'm thinking an RPG game.
No more hints, because I only know famous games well so I don't want to make it too easy for you :)
-
Black Crypt?
-
Is it a Dungeons and Dragons RPG?
-
That's a no and no.
-
Does it start with the letter "E"?
-
Is it in fantasy world with a medieval or past setting or a futuristic one?...
-
It doesn't start with E. Its setting is medieval/fantasy.
Hint - apart from its name the game has a subtitle. I hope that's the right word - like in King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella
-
Is it from the 1990s?
-
Yes, it is.
-
Is it Ishar?
-
Lord of the Rings: Volume I ?
-
Good thinking, but no.
-
2D or 3D?
Dungeon Master II: The Legend of Skullkeep ?
-
No, it isn't LOTR either.
Hint - it has sequels and it is not Amiga exclusive :)
-
Heimdall 2: Into The Hall Of Worlds?
-
It is not DM. It is 3D first person.... most of the time.
Of course, by 3D I don't mean fluent 3D, but the usual "one step at a time" type of movement.
-
No, it isn't Heimdall.
-
Is it part of some sequel type trilogy or similar?
Like Might and Magic?
-
Might and Magic II: Gates to Another World?
-
It is part of a trilogy, so not Might & Magic as that one has many more sequels.
Hint - you start the game with 6 characters, but can hire one more.
-
Bard's Tale III, The: Thief Of Fate?
-
No, it isn't Bard's Tale.
... and I thought this was a relatively easy one :)
-
Ishar series:
Ishar: Legend of the Fortress?
Ishar 2: Messengers of Doom?
Ishar 3: The Seven Gates of Infinity?
-
No, no and no.
Hint - the game came on 8 disks.
-
Trapped 2?
-
No, the game came out before the Commodore demise - so taking into account that it's a nineties game, it means 1990-1994. And it's not a true 3D so it can't be Trapped.
-
Quest For Glory II: Trial By Fire
Hero's Quest: So You Want To Be A Hero
Quest For Glory I: So You Want To Be A Hero
-
Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny? RPG with 8 Disk and 6 characters - I only know that one, but it's not a part of a trilogy
-
Bingo, hardwired. It is the first part of a trilogy, but sadly the sequels are PC only. Sorry, if that misled you.
-
Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny? RPG with 8 Disk and 6 characters - I only know that one, but it's not a part of a trilogy
+1
u stole my guess :)
-
Ok I'm thinking about a sort of management type game...
Ask away and I'll give some hints based on your questions and options!
-
Is it a soccer management game?
-
Nope... Not sport type management - But you read reports...
-
Sim City?
-
Nope...
It's a bit more violent than that - and you can use mouse, keyboard or joystick - although I recommend keyboard...
-
Is it from the 1980s?
-
Did Syndicate have reports?
-
90's... The game is in hires non interlaced.
It's not syndicate - that's mainly a strategy game...
-
Geez, I'm gunna bow out of this one since I never played manager games :(
BUT! Does it deal with planes?
Cuase' I remember that one Areobus bus game/manager's adverts. in all the mags back in the day...
-
Do not bow - It has nothing to do with planes... Other clue (not important) is that you can influence tabloid news...
-
Does it start with the letter A-M?
-
That's hardly fair... But yes - and I can throw in Agriculture in the pot for you to search!...
-
Is it a violent farming game where you must defend your plants from vicious werewolves while simultaneously reading autopsy reports on all your dead farmworkers?
-
Other clue: If you loose you might find what the term defenestration means...
-
Is it a violent farming game where you must defend your plants from vicious werewolves while simultaneously reading autopsy reports on all your dead farmworkers?
You did not answer the above so:
Does it start with the letter A-E?
-
Is it a violent farming game where you must defend your plants from vicious werewolves while simultaneously reading autopsy reports on all your dead farmworkers?
ROTFLOL:laughing:
What are you on? I definitely need that one too!...
I don't know that game for sure - But I'll give you one more clue - Agriculture and Fisheries is only a lie within. So no alien piranhas and that sort of stuff!...
But it can be really violent and it normally is perceived on the reports or news!
-
You did not answer the above so:
Does it start with the letter A-E?
Nope it's not in that range... I won't answer more letter questions!
Ask me about the game itself...
By the way there's some sort of spying involved!
-
You have given lots of really good clues.
The trouble is that all the clues are pointing me toward a game that nobody on Amiga.org has ever played before. :)
Maximum number of simultaneous players?
-
It's 1 player only. BIG CLUES now: Graphics are sort on the grey, the plot is (almost) non linear and very politically incorrect.
-
Is it some type of MULE remake?
-
Was it a commercial game?
-
Is it some type of MULE remake?
This http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.U.L.E.?
Nope and even if not this one - nope. It's rather original for the time.
Another Clue (Important one): You can kill, abduct people and infiltrate several organizations...
-
Is it some sort of stock market / commodities game?
-
Was it a commercial game?
Yes! And It was launched by a big company, also for PC (The PC version has blueish graphics)...
You sit at the desk and decide the fate of a number of people, but you're not the police or any law abiding similar agency - although you can do - arguably - occasionally some good.
You can also discredit people - tell that they worship the devil, that buy the pharmacy entire stock of condoms, etc... Providing you have the dough!
-
My only guesses have already been ruled out:
Big Business
Oil Imperium
Balance of Power 1990 Edition
-
Is it some sort of stock market / commodities game?
Nope - no real big finance involved and resource management is very simple.
You control these departments:
Surveillance - Pursuit - Search – Interrogation – Removal - Heavy Assault - Dis-Information – Infiltration
-
My only guesses have already been ruled out:
Big Business
Oil Imperium
Balance of Power 1990 Edition
Nope...
You control a kind of a Secret State Police, except for all public knowledge it does not exist! The entity itself exists under the cover of the State Secretary of Agriculture and Fisheries - in the UK setting.
Famous quote: The power behind the democracy...
That's it I given pretty much all the clues
-
What Category is the game on HOL?
-
What Category is the game on HOL?
http://hol.abime.net/hol_search.php?N_ref_genre_category=21
I can't give you the subcategory because it's only 3 on those! :hammer:
By the way one more clue:
Here's my review of the game:
GRAPHICS: 6 / 10 HI-RES monochrome graphics is what you get all the way. While not state of the art, they fit nicely the atmosphere, and have a distinct professional look for the time of the release. Lack of animation of nay kind will undoubtly baffle everyone, but for the kind of game, there isn’t really needed much anyway.
Still one could hope that they would put a bit more into it, and add a few more graphical sequences and final touches.
SOUND: 4 / 10 The Amiga music is really different from the PC version, and is very good for the intro and also sets the mood, but that’s it. Silence is what you get all the way into the game, and I believe that this unfortunately deprives of some of the atmosphere that could be enjoyed while playing (look at lost patrol).
No sound effects and no music during gameplay just doesn’t sound like an Amiga game!
PLAYABILITY: 7 / 10 The menu system while comprehensive is somehow shallow, but one gets accustomed (not enjoyable!) – If you’ve played Conflict in Middle East you’ll know user interface it’s pretty similar. Clicking in boxes and more boxes (better use cursor or keypad)…
The plot is presented in a no linear fashion, is always is pretty enjoying, and you really try to get all the things right. Of course the somehow limited control, which is offered to the player, to deal with the cases posed makes the nature of the gameplay limited.
OVERALL: 7 / 10 I guess it’s the underlining subversive nature of the game that appeals me so much! If you’re looking for an exciting game, search elsewhere. This is an old-school management game with a very drab setting both in the sound, graphical and user interface department...
But if you’re able to overcome this initial issue, you’ll find a decent management game with lot of politically incorrect stories, conspiracies and lot of plot twists, skulduggery…
If you love spy novels and games I definitely recommend you play this one!
-
Floor 13?
-
This is the last clue -> Theme: Government - Espionage (http://hol.abime.net/hol_search.php?N_ref_genre_theme=102)
-
Floor 13?
Right ON!!!
-
I have never played that game but wow it sounds wild!
-
Ok the game I am thinking of is Toadally Great!
-
Battletoads? That's not great?!
If its superfrog - then it is!
-
Very good reasoning skills!
Sadly not the game I was thinking of.
-
Something by Bullfrog? :-)
-
Very clever! A bit too clever even :D
Not by Bullfrog.
-
falling asleep... those mushrooms Franko gave me sure make me sleepy.. will continue some hours from now
-
Hint #1: Sometimes you travel under your own power but other times you travel by riding something else.
-
I, it's "Revenge of the Psycho Mutant Toads Vs. Quadruple Dragon"
Or "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"?
PS- Where is Cammy in all this? I'm surprised she isn't taking this by storm...
-
I, it's "Revenge of the Psycho Mutant Toads Vs. Quadruple Dragon"
That game sounds awesome! Too bad it wasn't the game I was thinking of ;)
Hint #2: Death by drowning is quite common in this game.
-
Nebulus?
--
moto
-
Good guess and a really great game! But not the game I was thinking of.
-
I was thinking Frogger until you said travelling by vehicles. Also, although you lose a life in Frogger if you fall in the water, I never really understood why since frogs are amphibious!
Ok, so is the main character a toad?
--
moto
-
Ok, so is the main character a toad?
OMG! Someone finally asked a question! :D
The answer is: The main character is either a frog or a toad (not sure what the difference is). Most ppl would call it a frog.
-
I never said "travelling by vehicles" because the things you ride are not what ppl normally refer to as "machines". In a strict formal sense anything one ever rides is a "machine" and a "vehicle". But in an informal sense, one does not usually refer to riding a horse as "vehicular transportation". No you do NOT ride horses in this game! But you can ride living creatures and inanimate objects in the game I am thinking of.
-
Well, in that case I'll say Frogger cause you DO ride on logs AND alligators!!!
-
Very well-reasoned guess! But as far as I know nobody ever made a game called "Frogger" for the Amiga. :)
-
Ok, rabbit, I'll play your game...
1) IS the game a Frogger Clone?
2) is the game anything Like Frogger?
) If someone played the game you are thinking of, will they say, "Oh my gosh! this reminds me of Frogger!"?
Bring-it!:afro:
-

Yes, Yes and Yes. :)
I will even give you another 2 Hints completely for free!
#3: The game is a remake of a famous arcade game.
#4: You get killed a lot by cars and buses, vans and trucks :D
-
Croak
Did a google search for "Amiga Frogger Clone"
:laughing:
-
Ah yes! I had forgotten about that game! Croak is great! But not what I was thinking of.
-
Ah yes! I had forgotten about that game! Croak is great! But not what I was thinking of.
:eek::eek::shocked::shocked::huh::huh::(:(
Dangit! and here I thought I had bested you...
Hmmm, this wil have to take some more Tech-mancery...
Oh, and is the view top down?
was it PD or Retail?
-
:eek::eek::shocked::shocked::huh::huh::(:(
When I clicked your name a few mins ago it said your activity was "Currently viewing smilies" and I was like WTF?!? I never saw that msg before. Now I know why :D
Dangit! and here I thought I had bested you...
Hmmm, this wil have to take some more Tech-mancery...
Oh, and is the view top down?
Yes of course.
was it PD or Retail?
Neither :p
-
"Currently viewing smiles"... that is AWESOME!!! :lol:
Ok, so it wasn't PD or Retail so how about this...
Was it a Mag. cover disk game?
Was it a Fred Fish Game?
Dangit, I can't remember that other cheap distro. that had nothing but a number and a name on the disk... but was it that one?
-
It was a shareware game many years ago but the author recently released it as freeware.
IMHO 99.9% of all Amigans never heard of the game when it was new.
That is why I picked it, to give it some free publicity.
-
Toado?
-
Motorollin FTW!!!! *** The crowd goes wild! ***
As you see, I gave you enough clues to figure out the name waaaaaaaaay back :D
-
!!!! Do you know how many super cool PD games i'll have to play now JUST to find your game?!?!?!
:angry:
Grrr..
OOORRRR maybe not...
-
I did actually think of Toado as soon as you said about drowning, but the vehicles reference threw me off. I loved your micro-analysis of the semantics of the word "vehicle" :lol:
Ok, I'm thinking of a puzzle game.....

The really funny thing is how u threw urself off after I said you ride things when that should have instantly made u scream "Toado!" :lol:
I guess you forgot about logs and turtles and crocodiles?
Or maybe you were just subconciously trying to give false hope to J-Golden before you crushed all his hopes & dreams of victory? :roflmao:
-
Is it a platform game?
-
Does it play with "tiles"?
-
Delay of game penalty vs. Motorollin :D
5 free questions awarded:
Is it by Rainbow Arts?
Does it start with the letter J?
Was it released in 1990?

Do the puzzles involve words/letters?

Platform: No
Tiles: Yes

Actually I think I did wonder whether travelling was a reference to logs etc, but thought it was too tenuous. Won't make that mistake again ;)
-
Commercial game?
-
Well, That eliminats all the lemmings games and Vital Light (Love that game!) and Tetris...
Is the main character activly in the game or more of a figure head?
-
Commercial game?
I'll answer that with a clue: It was commercial, but was given away on a coverdisk.
-
Well, That eliminats all the lemmings games and Vital Light (Love that game!) and Tetris...
Not Lemmings, Vital Light or Tetris.
Is the main character activly in the game or more of a figure head?
The main character was actually in the game.
-
Bombuzal?
-
Bombuzal?
Yes!!!!! What gave it away? :)
-
Yes!!!!! What gave it away? :)
The fact that J-Golden fell asleep on his keyboard gave me the victory! I could tell by his questions that we were both thinking the same things.
-
I am thinking of a game. Here is the first clue:
"Halt stranger!"
-
Strip Twister?
-
Sword of Sodan I think.
-
+99 points to Motorollin for getting the correct answer!
+50 points to Persia for having an answer that was waaaaay funnier! :roflmao::lol::laughing:

Dang and double DANG!!!
That's TWO that I missed...
Ok, Let's have it. I'm not leaving my keyboard until I get one!!!!:madashell:
-
Hehe, damn now I have to think of another one... Ok, I'm thinking of a game, but I can't give a genre. That is actually a clue.
-
Hehe, damn now I have to think of another one... Ok, I'm thinking of a game, but I can't give a genre. That is actually a clue.
Does the game actually have a genre? Or does it have a whole bunch of genres?
-
Hehe, damn now I have to think of another one... Ok, I'm thinking of a game, but I can't give a genre. That is actually a clue.
D/Generation ? err ok maybe not;)
-
It spans many genres, or maybe creates a new one :) Not D/Generation.
-
Total Chaos?
-
I had a feeling you might say that! But no :razz:
-
I had a feeling u were going to say that :p
Ok so is it a multi-genre game because it has many different subgames?
Is it mult-genre because it has many different "events"?
Is it mult-genre because its core gameplay simply covers a lot of genres?
-
The latter - the core gameplay covers several genres. As for lots of subgames - quite the opposite :)
-
How many players?
Do you control one or more characters?
-
One player. You control one character. Hint: there are quite a few controls to learn.
-
What style of gfx does the game have? Cutesy or serious?
-
Hmm, the original was serious, kind of bland. There was an AGA version which had some cuter elements, but on the whole still not exactly "cutesy".
-
Exile?
-
Yep, it was Exile :)
-
Woohoo! I had already picked Exile as my guess before you even gave me the last clue. I was going to be more sneaky about it and ask "Does the game contain the letter X in the name?" but then your last clue popped up and I decided that Exile had to be it!
-
I am thinking of a game. Your first clue is:
"Prepare to Die!"
-
Mortal Kombat?
-
Good guess! But its not the one I was thinking of.
-
Death Sword?
-
That is not what my version was named (mine was called Barbarian). But its the same game so you finally won! :D
I knew if I thew u an ez one you would get it :D
-
Barbarian?
-
Damn, too slow :lol:
-
WAHOO!!!!:banana::banana::banana::banana:
Ok, I'm thinking of a game that is noting but run 'n' gun action...
-
Turrican?
-
Is it a Team 17 game?
-
No and No.
-
Cannon Fodder?
-
Is it a platform game?
-
Nope, not cannon fodder and is not a platformer.
Hin#1 = Eventhough it isn't Cannon fodder, it IS the same view of the playing area, isometric.
-
Chaos Engine?
-
Chaos Engine?
Good guess and getting warmer but no.
-
Max number of simultaneous players?
-
Max number of simultaneous players?
Two simultaneous players.
-
Which genre? (fantasy, scifi etc)
-
Chaos Engine 2?
-
Very much Sci-Fi
and no, ;) it is not Chaos Engine 2 (I'm not that petty).
Hint #2 = it was made for multiple platforms.
-
Watchtower?
-
Watchtower?
Nope. I'd classify Watch Tower as modern anyway :)
-
Alien Breed
Alien Breed II
Alien Breed Tower Assault
-
Alien Breed
Alien Breed II
Alien Breed Tower Assault
Ah! Your getting colder!
Wrong point-of-view AND you have to think in those games!!!
-
Alien Breed
Alien Breed II
Alien Breed Tower Assault
Nope - my mistake (TEAM 17 not...)
How about these:
Smash TV Williams
Total Carnage
-
Skeleton Krew?
-
Nope - my mistake (TEAM 17 not...)
How about these:
Smash TV Williams
Total Carnage
Much closer! but not the game :(
Hint #3 = There was no sequel, pre-quel or spinoff of this game. VERY much stand alone...
-
Skeleton Krew?
CORRECT!!!!!
:nervous: BUT BUT How did you get that!?!?!?!! I was trying to be as general as possible...
Well, anyway, GOOD JOB MATE!!!! Your up!
-
I would have thought of it sooner but I think I have never actually played that one. I always wanted to tho.
-
I am thinking of a game. Clue #1:
"The biggest unanswered question is 'Where is the money?'"
-
It's alot of fun two-player and on the CD32. It's like Ikari Warriors with a H.G. Geiger motif.
-
Is it ECS, AGA or CD32?
-
ocs/ecs
-
Fantasy, modern or Sci-Fi?
-
Scifi
-
blood money?
-
Innocent until caught
-
ddniUK has the ball!
He shoots........
He scrores!!!!
ddniUK FTW!
You are a true Amiga Man :)
Your turn now
-
Thinking game or action game?
Action Game it is ;)
-
@J-Golden
I am guessing you did not have an Amiga during the 80s?
-
1 for 1 !!! beginners luck ;-)
So this is like "20 questions" except you can ask more than 20.
I am thinking of an amiga game, that wasn't completely obscure. You ask questions, I answer those questions in a yes/no fashion. When you win, well, you are awesome and you can then start over with a game of your own
OK I have chosen my game.

-
Is it a commercial game?
-
Yes
-
Genre?
-
I cant anwer that with Yes or No...
-
Block Shock?
-
not that one
-
@J-Golden
I am guessing you did not have an Amiga during the 80s?
I did, but I never played that Psygnosis game :( loved Killing Game Show though...
-
Is it "The Clue!" ?
-
Is "potential" a reference to electricity?
Or energy of some other kind perhaps?
-
Was it released in the 1990s?
-
Or energy of some other kind perhaps?
Yes
ChaosLord
Yes
-
Does the game have the rope-swinging gameplay mechanic?
-
Or is it some kind of physics puzzle?
-
no
-
Or is it some kind of physics puzzle?
nope
-
Is the potential energy stored inside of catapults/trebuchets?
-
no.
I wouldnt want this potential hanging over my head....
-
Gravity?
-
So the energy is some kind of weight?
-
no and no
-
Was game released in 1991?
-
no
-
Was game released in 1992?
-
lol no it was released before 1992 ;)
-
Was game released in 1990?
-
yes
-
Would u say it is more of a strategy game or more of an action game?
-
hmm neither
-
Trivia game?
-
nope
-
IS the potential energy stored in a gooey form hanging over one's head waiting to fall at a wrong answer?
-
Came on 1 disk?
-
I think we need a clue!
-
IS the potential energy stored in a gooey form hanging over one's head waiting to fall at a wrong answer?
Very close! The title kinda refers to that!
1 Disk = Yes
-
Globdule?
-
not that one
-
Didn't really fit with the other clues... but it was the only game I could think of which referenced any kind of goo in the title :)
-
ah! Goo is not part of nor anything to do with the title...
-
Can we have another clue please? :)
-
ok
Dionysius II
-
Hmm, Damocles?
-
You got it!
The Sword of Damocles hangs waiting to fall. It has POTENTIAL energy!
I knew that clue would help you Google it ;)
-
Google? How very dare you! ;) Ok, I'm thinking of a platform game...
-
Ok I'm going to start with a clue like ddniUK did, as it makes it more fun :) So the clue is: "be careful".
-
Is the first clue a spoken line?
-
Commercial game?
Max number of simultaneous players?
-
Rick Dangerous ?
-
Dangerous Streets? (yes!) :)
-
Just for the record: I love it when ppl give clever clues! It makes the game way better! I almost always give a clever clue or 3 or a riddle or whatever so that there is more than 1 line of reasoning that can be followed to figure out the game name. I used to play this game back in the 90s.

yeah I must say, the sneaky clues does make it a lot more fun, especially when you figure it out and get that "Oh you bastard!" moment :)
-
Back from sleeping too :)
Commercial: yes
Max players: 1
Not Rick Dangerous
Not Dangerous Streets
The first clue is not a spoken line. It's a reference to the abstract meaning of the title ;)
-

*Bonk self in head* I should've guessed that!
Precision Approach: Jet Instrument Trainer?
-
Nope! "Precision approach" is rather a concrete reference to "being careful". Think more abstract; less literal.
-
Game has cutesy gfx or serious?
-
Platform game or racing game?
-
Graphics cutesy. Platform game.
-
Game is from 1990s?
Requires AGA?
Is it Benefactor?
-
Is it Kid Gloves? *Yes!* :)
-
1990s: yes
AGA: no
Benefactor: no
-
Did I win?
You never answered. :confused:
-
Is it Kid Gloves? *Yes!* :)
Ahhh sorry I didn't see this message. Yes, it was Kid Gloves! The initial clue was both a reference to the name (treating things with kid gloves means being careful or cautious) and also the need to play it quite carefully as ISTR some very precise positioning being needed. I loved this game! IIRC it was another AP coverdisk giveaway.
-
Are we still playing?:confused:
I certainly hope so!
-
I was waiting on u to come online. It didn't seem fair for you to miss all the fun :)
We need a bare minimum of 3 participants and preferably 5+
-
I think we can play asynchronously :)
-
I think we can play asynchronously :)

At least my excuse is backed up by the fact that I work in schools :razz:
-

Oh I'm quite often close to a computer when I'm not in school, but often I'm concentrating on analysing a language assessment or writing case notes, so I can't really stop to read clues ;)
-
So? Come on, ChaosLord...
