Had no idea what most the indie games were. And maybe I missed it but it doesnt seem to tell you the names of the games you missed. Lam.e

I gave it a shot when it was mentioned in the other thread. As Ack (?) mentioned there are lots of issues with the way it accepts answers. There was a picture of Blastoise (? the blue cannon turtle) and I put simply 'Pokemon' and it took it. Yet a few questions later it was a DKC game of some kind and it wanted a really specific answer for that one. I just stopped at that point the other day.

I went ahead and gave it another try and got to a Duke Nukem screen and couldn't get it to take any permutations. Then I looked away to try and figure out some more cockamamie variations and it decided my game was over even though I had at least 30 seconds left. It also told me my score was "7." even though I was probably at 7 thousand something at that point. So yeah, twice it screwed me. I'm done.

I got stuck on quite a bit of the newer games. Newer games, mainly the shooter/1st person shooter games.... like fucking Halo. Can you believe that? Halo?? Yeah, I know it's sad.
I don't play shooter games really. (it's okay, I eventually got the damn thing.)

I feel like I should. Anyways.
I think my highest was around 95,000-ish.

Level 168 ish. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island... nope... yoshi's island... nope ... super mario world 2: yoshis island... nope... mario world 2 yoshi's island ... nope ... super mario world 2 ... nope ... super mario world... correct ... wtf... It was clearly Yoshi's Island. I didn't have enough time to get the next one. Arse.

Seriously, this game needs to be coded better.

it's super mario world. They have it labeled wrong.

Some of them you don't have to give numbers. Saddly I could only get around 9300 points max. Too many newer games on there I don't know.
Thanks everyone...

I think the best I saw was 4900. Is it bad that of all the games I couldn't recognize, Leisure Suit Larry was one I could?
