Name that Game Screenshot or Hardware Pic

Post by markeconrad »

Edit: Newly titled on CRTGAMER's suggestion for clarity sake.

I used to be regular at the Netjak (may it rest in peace) forums and occasional vintage game reviewer for them. Anyway, we had a game going on where someone would post a screenshot, the first person to correctly guess the game that the screenshot came from would get a point. Then the person that got the point then posts a screenshot of their own. Rinse, wash, repeat.

Get it? I'll get us started:

So post your answers, and then I will check back and confirm and give control of the board to the correct answer.

We've had Name That Game contests before FYI. Not that I'm dissuading you from doing one sort of.

Use a pic that doesn't have the answer in it! Perhaps a saved and renamed off Google Images attachment?

A great idea, slightly different form of older contests. I like the idea of the correct answer gets the opportunity to post the next guessing pic. This brings out interest and sharing of games at another level. :mrgreen:

A couple of suggestions
1. Perhaps set a time limit to say a day or two. If no correct answers then the current pic holder can post another pic?

2. This one is good. Why just screenshots? Anything that is game related. Some ideas such as an obscure controller or unusual console? Just no partial pics say of just a fire button. An entire Arcade panel might be interesting to guess at. Rename the OP appropriately.

Anyway I'm in, waiting for Hobie to decide. :D

If you look at the ones Sevin and I did, there are screenshots, sounds, pictured of equipment, letter jumbles, etc.

it's probably been a while since there was a Name that Game here and people forgot already.
