Name That Game: Nostalgia Strikes Back

Friday, February 5th, 2010

We did this last week and it was so much fun, I decided to do this again. This time the list of pictured games was provided by my brother Ark. We grew up playing the same Amiga games and this is pretty much a list of our favorites (sans the stuff I posted last week). I actually think this is harder than last week, because a few of these games might have been Amiga exclusives and thus might be unknown to the PC crowd. Anyway, let’s see if you can get all of them.

Name that Game: Nostalgia Edition 2

As usual, post your guesses in comments. For full effect, don’t read any comments first and try to guess on your own. Then read the comments and see if you failed to recognize some games that you played but did not recognize from the screen shot.

Enjoy!

Name That Game #1

Friday, September 26th, 2008

New game in the spirit of Name That Movie or TV Show cycle I’ve been doing here. This one is a bit different and possibly more difficult. Or it could be easier. I don’t know.

This version of the game may appeal to slightly different crowd. Instead of identifying movies, I’m asking you to identify video games in the picture below. And instead of random screenshots, I’m actually using the box covers. Naturally since each video game box has the name of the game printed on it, and usually a signature, distinct art I’m adding some Gaussian blur to each of them. I tried to make them fuzzy enough to conceal telltale details (and the title of course) but clear enough to allow you to recognize the box by shape, color and composition.

I tested it on my brother and he immediately identified 5 boxes correctly, 2 incorrectly and had no clue as to the rest. So hopefully this won’t be solved by the first commenter. :P

Name That Game #1

Something tells me I’m making it to easy, but we’ll see. Let me know whether you like this new variation on the game. I will probably continue making “Name that Movie” panels in the future, but this could be another fun distraction. :)
