Name the game - part 4

Name the Game - Part 4 Support Apolyton

... and here's the fourth part...

I start out, by writing a little about a game, the first one who guess's the game, may post some new game info, for others to guess...

Game rules:
- Games are not allowed to be newer than Amiga games, but anything before that is allowed (No matter on which computer it was played on)
- you shall write information about which computer you played it on
- Don't write part of the name in the game info, unless there's no way to avoid it
- Write as little as possible, if nobody can guess, write some more later
- Try to keep games, to be from computers, most people have had...
- If you're the first one to guess a game, and you're certain you're right, feel free to post your game info (In case you know you'll be leaving soon)... but other players are not allowed to start guessing, before the poster of the first question has approved the answer, or most other players approve the answer

Ummmmmmmm.

Is it Pirates!

DrSpike · January 7, 2004, 15:59

Not to try and remove my meagre lead over you Cap, but I don't think it's fair to give me a point for the game no one got, if that is indeed what you did.

Now that is sportsmanship! Shared first place for CapTVK and Dr Spike it is then!

Dr Spike's score changed back to 14

Spaced Cowboy · January 7, 2004, 16:25

Cap, heck of a job going through all that....but I know that I did six of those games (clue side) so I should have more wins.

I did:
Crusade in Europe
Dragon Wars
Imperium Galactum
MULE
Nueromancer
Questron

And actually you only have me listed twice on top, not three times. I remember one of those being a gimme, that is, someone let me start a game without being the perwon that guessed it. Also I did change my user name in the process (RPM_is_Cool).

CapTVK · January 7, 2004, 16:32

And now on with the game. See how long it takes. Late 80's, appeared on 16-bit homecomputers (Amiga, Atari ST) and 8-bit as well.

After all this rhyming methinks its time for sports.
So got to the stadium and put on some shorts...
But when I got on the field I was in for quite a shocker.
Because I was for a very quaint game of one-man soccer...

DrSpike · January 7, 2004, 16:36

Kick off?

Sorry if I got some scores mixed up. I used the first post on part 3 as a starting point. Is there anyone else who I may have missed?

Didn't Ghengis Farb guess Dragon Wars?

Spaced Cowboy · January 7, 2004, 16:46

I was saying that I was on the clue side of those games. I did not guess them.

DrSpike · January 7, 2004, 16:47

I think he means he set 6, which probably means he guessed more than 3.

For yours how about World Cup Italia '90?

Hmmmmmm, I only guessed one correctly, I knew the answer to Dragon Wars but don't remember if that was the one I guessed or not.

EDIT: yeah I think that was the one I guessed first because I remember having my wife go through the box looking for it.

Spaced Cowboy · January 7, 2004, 16:50

Soccer challenge

CapTVK · January 7, 2004, 16:56

Ah, he meant he got 6 right earlier. I'll change the list accordingly

P.S
Ghengis Farb, you did Guess dragon Wars correctly.

CapTVK · January 7, 2004, 17:01

Nope, none of the above.

Another clue then?

Buck Birdseed · January 7, 2004, 17:14

One-man soccer? Damn, I remember a game of one-on-one basketball but not one-on-one soccer...

Maybe it's some other meaning of one-man? (Like a game named after someone... There usually is one every now and then.)

child of Thor · January 7, 2004, 17:35

Its not 'Arkanoid' is it CapTVK?

CapTVK · January 7, 2004, 18:31

Not really on both counts, but you're moving in the right direction.

At first I thought my eyes were kind of blurry
But all the balls had eyes and kind furry...

Buck Birdseed · January 7, 2004, 18:35

Wizball? Oh wait, no fur.

CapTVK · January 7, 2004, 19:19

No, not Wizball.

Buck Birdseed · January 8, 2004, 11:44

I've got a vague idea of what I think it is but I've got absolutely no recollection of what it's called or what the gameplay is like.

I'll pass.

DrSpike · January 8, 2004, 11:51

What's the matter? Google doesn't like poetry?

Only kidding ya.

CapTVK · January 8, 2004, 17:14

Now, I could start to recite the third clue but is there anyone else who would like to try?

DrSpike · January 8, 2004, 17:32

Get on with it Wordsworth.

Spaced Cowboy · January 8, 2004, 17:40

I liked Rhymey Rhymerton, and yes another clue would probably help.

CapTVK · January 8, 2004, 18:45

Yeah, yeah...here it comes.

As I stood on the field I quickly learned the game
These creatures were meant to be kicked, across the field, and even had a name*...

* name withheld for obvious reasons (Google!)

child of Thor · January 8, 2004, 19:11

Brutal Sports football?

GhengisFarb™ · January 8, 2004, 20:42

Kick the Frenchie Poodles?

Nothing but Poodles?

/me doesn't know if they ever made a game like that but they sure as heck ought to!
