Let's play a game, guys! Post pictures to spell out the name of a game. An example:

http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/metawars/Space/earth.jpghttp://i32.tinypic.com/10hvwpc.jpg

Earth + bound hands = Earthbound.

Make sure you pop back into the thread to let people know when they got your puzzle right. You can post as many puzzles or answers as you like. Feel free to ask for hints if you need them. If people have fun with this, I'll start threads like this up in some other forums.

And, to kick things off, something slightly harder:

Star Ocean: Til the End of Time?

I just got the "till" part. That's sneaky.

Bingo! I was a cashier for years, so that's the first thing I think of when I hear till.

New one:

I can get Legacy of Kain, but I can't get the rest.

The only thing I can think of is Blood Omen for the bottom two pictures.

Got it! Last two pics are blood cells and The Omen dvd cover.

Space Station Silicon Valley

Yup! Haven't played that game in forever.

Devil May Cry 4?

Awesome thread btw :D

Yup! Glad people are having fun, I'm trying to make them a little harder since you guys are awesome at this. If anyone else wants to post some I'd love to try guessing.

Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons

yup yup yup!

My hat goes off to you, BP. :) Awesome thread.

Psychonauts

Psychonauts

Simultaneous post gloty. gj AG~

Is it ok if I throw a puzzle up as well?

You're both right!



If this one is too hard, I'm sorry.

Please do, doomjockey!

First, Iron Sword: Wizards and Warriors 2 ;D

Second, hope I'm doing it right:

Man, I thought that one was super hard!

I am pretty sure yours is a Shin Megami Tensei game but I haven't figured out which.

You are on the right track, sir :)

You're both right!



If this one is too hard, I'm sorry.

Please do, doomjockey!

Iron Sword: Wizards and Warriors II

EDIT: Didn't see that DoomJockey already got it.


First, Iron Sword: Wizards and Warriors 2 ;D

Second, hope I'm doing it right:



Shin Megami Tensei III: Lucifer's Call

Shin Megami Tensei III: Lucifer's Call. And beat! Good Job, that one took me a while.

ToeJam and Earl

YES, SMT 3: Lucifer's Call. Good eyes both of you :D

Another, if I may:

ToeJam and Earl

Yup!



And now to try and guess doomjockey's!

@Bearded Princess: Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom

@doomjockey: BioShock

Here's one. This might be really difficult...

Kid Niki: Radical Ninja

Maybe it wasn't so difficult. =)

Let's try this one.

Max Payne

Correct. How about this?

Call Of Duty 4 : Modern warfare?

Bioshock ftw

For arthur's puzzle: I'm guessing Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies.

And I might as well let this play:

Yeah - you gotta be right - I had "4" and weather "..fair" hence the question mark

Dr. Mid-nite! JSA is my favorite, do you read it?



If anyone not only gets this but has played the game I will make them some kind of certificate of awesomeness.

For doomjockey's

Guilty Gear XX # Reload: The Midnight Carnival (?)

For Bearded Princess's...

Ever17: Out of Infinity

Yup! Have you played it? I need to know whether or not I should get certificate makin'!

baw beaten by a minute :(

Yup! Have you played it? I need to know whether or not I should get certificate makin'!

Nope, and I've never even heard of it before I saw your visual clue.

Guilty Gear XX # Reload: The Midnight Carnival (?)
avilsare, right on the money! I wasn't sure if anyone would get the OJ thing. Sorry if I screwed up the title, I wasn't sure where 'Reload' went, but GJGJ :)

Dr. Mid-nite! JSA is my favorite, do you read it?

I'm a bit of a DC noob in general, but I do my best. Starting so late means I get to catch up though :D

Last puzzle you had was tough, man. What's that game about?

Last puzzle you had was tough, man. What's that game about?


Two boys and five girls are trapped in a huge water amusement park after a terrible accident. The danger increases as they face a mysterious virus that could kill them. In order to find out what is happening and why, you must unravel the many mysteries of the game by controlling a boy named Takeshi, and another boy who has amnesia and can't remember his own name.

For doomjockey's last clue...

Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits

I think the English version of Ever 17 might be out of print, the company that released it went under. It's up on Demonoid, though! I highly recommend it.

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (?)

Yep, Arc the Lad. Thx for the description , avil.

bp, thanks a bunch, I was just about to ask. I'll have to check it out asap :)

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (?)

Correct!



Think I might make this in the TV/Movie forum when I have time, unless anyone has ideas for takin' it to GD.

super smash brothers ... melee(?)

geez you guys are good at guessing/making these. This is an entertaining thread to watch even if you're absolutely clueless like me D:

SOUP EMERGENCY OFFSPRING ARMY??

Yeah, the Super Smash Bros. Melee one blew my mind.

Here's mine.

Here's another one.

Arc the Lad? lol I dunno.

Ha. Nope. Think phonetically. Also, the two pictures are pushed together for a reason.

ark-ed. hmm...arcade?

Orchid?

Maybe this will make it easier. The character in the second picture is unimportant to the puzzle. What is important is the state of mind. Or emotion.

Ed has emotions other than stupid?
hmm...i guess that would be angry, so ark-angry or ark-anger
archangel?

You're on the right track...Sort of.

Arkanoid! :D

Arkanoid, (ark-annoyed) amirite?

Harhar double-timed, jalv :P

wait, the ark is filled with holes... holy archangel?

ah crap, that seems so obvious now!

Yes!

All right. Let's try this one.

Here's mine.


bump

For that one, I have no idea. Hokuto no ken?

perhaps i used something a little too obscure, the wrestler girl's name is Gami.
although perhaps i used a game that's too obscure?
eh, this one should be easy.

Final Fantasy

oh good, right after posting i was somewhat afraid nobody would get the "fine" part.

oh good, right after posting i was somewhat afraid nobody would get the "fine" part.

I'll admit that the first thing I thought was "bill", but after I figured out "Fantasy", final just fit.

here's another one.

ok, i'm done staring that yours now, neg. it didn't make sense at first, and it won't no matter how long i stare at those aol trials. when did they jump to 1099 free hours anyway?

It's not hard. Someone'll get it. Especially if they know me.

Here's mine.



ok, i'm done staring that yours now, neg. it didn't make sense at first, and it won't no matter how long i stare at those aol trials. when did they jump to 1099 free hours anyway?

So what's the answer to this one?

alright, I suppose I'll give the answer now. THERE ISN'T ONE!
No, kidding. I'm surprized nobody knew Shiki from The World Ends With You, which would make it Shiki-Gami. You got the No part right, and the dog is from Ginga Nagareboshi Gin (Ok, maybe too much obscurity?) and is named Shiro.
Shikigami No Shiro (A.K.A. Castle Shikigami or Mobile Light Force 2)

hahah i would never have gotten that :(

You should be able to get mine, Duo. Or, that thievin' girl you know could, at any rate ;)

TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS

We have a winrar~

Wow. Knowing the answer to that one convinces me I'll never get this one...


here's another one.


Also, we still don't have any guesses on this...

Hey, that one is a specific game an incredibly popular game series that pretty much everyone who plays games (and many who haven't) here in the states has heard of, so you can git it if you just start from the begining.
Also, there's a hint for the first picture in this post somewhere. :P

here's another one.



Guitar Hero: Aerosmith?

You are correct! And I no longer have games in my direct line of sight to think of more for this.

Silent Hill Homecoming

I'm a very predictable person~

ok, here's another easy one.

Gears of War

Maybe that was too easy?

Meh, they're all fun, no matter the degree of difficulty. No worries.

This one might be easy.

I'm still at your "Rosebud" puzzle. Hints?

Still got a bunch lying around from this morning...

Heroes of Might and Magic

I'm still at your "Rosebud" puzzle. Hints?


The first two images are different representations of the same word. That word appears twice in succession in the game's title.

Also, is yours City of Heroes and City of Villains?

Neg scores :D

�����Ok so Clu Clu Land?????

Yep! Sorry if that was too confusing.

I think the other one I posted should be a lot easier.

Np. Challenge is good fun. It was just the Rosebud part for me. I was thinking everything from 'sled' to irony'... Over thinking, more likely. Good puzzles though

super smash brothers ... melee(?)

Little late to answer here, but you are right. I say melee may-lay so that might not have been clear to people who pronounce it differently.

Soul Nomad and the World Eaters

I'll throw a second one in the mix. This will probably be it for me tonight.

Rambo?

You got it. There's also an earlier one that still hasn't been figured out.

Cool. I'll look into that.

Here's mine.



simple looking, but looks can be deceiving.

this one is pretty easy, i think

Rule of Rose I believe

yup!

This one might be easy.



Jordan Versus Bird: one on one. Versus took me a while to figure out because It's been a while since I've seen the movie and I couldn't remember the name for the life of me.

possibly easy.

Maple Story!

yep.

Btw, the rosebud one is clearly a Legacy of Kain game. Clearly.

ok here's an easier one from me. I'm just testing to see if I got the system right.

rockin' kats. i think it was spelled with a k, anyway.

All of my old ones have been figured out now. Here's the next one.

and this time my handicap is i don't recognize these people in the slightest. yay for being uncultured outside video games!

and this time my handicap is i don't recognize these people in the slightest. yay for being uncultured outside video games!

The basketball player's name is Yao Ming. I have no idea who the first guy is. also, you are correct on my puzzle. Still looking to see if anyone can get my first one without some help

I'll hold off on clues for a little while. Somebody's bound to know the person in the first picture. Although, if you understand the second half, you can work backwards and probably figure out the answer.

For your map one, would you at least tell us how many words we're supposed to decode from it?

For your map one, would you at least tell us how many words we're supposed to decode from it?

It's one word. there are two syllables contained in the picture to decode.

X-Com?

Like, X + Compass?

on the right track but that's not it

and this time my handicap is i don't recognize these people in the slightest. yay for being uncultured outside video games!

The man's name is Lemmy and he is the lead singer of the band Motorhead. I still can't figure it out though.

I'll hold off on clues for a little while. Somebody's bound to know the person in the first picture. Although, if you understand the second half, you can work backwards and probably figure out the answer.


Lem + Yao Ming = Lemyowming ???

Lemmings! i would guess

multiple mings and all

Brim doesn't know Lemmy? o_O

Lemmings is correct.

Here's another.

on the right track but that's not it

Is it Exile?

Like, X + isle (instead of island)?

ok here's an easier one from me. I'm just testing to see if I got the system right.



Megaman and Bass. I think Cause "all your base are belong to us now". But I think it's pronounced b-ass.

Megaman and Zerowing.

This is Jeopardy. Before + After XD

OOH Megaman and Zero then. lol thanks neg ;p

Is it Exile?

Like, X + isle (instead of island)?

You got it! I could not find a picture of a regular map with an Island and x marking the spot without all the pirate symbols to distract people. though in hindsight I could have photoshopped my own. Exile was a very interesting if obscure game for the Turbo Duo.

Also, Jesus Christ! I can't believe how many fricking games you can come up with that "Rock N cats" puzzle! I didn't even think about megaman and Bass and Megaman zero. I should pick my pictures better I guess.

Edit: I don't listen to very much Motorhead Neg. it's not my favorite band.

Death by Degrees

Took me forever


Neg (7:35:51 PM): well take out the note
Rob (7:35:59 PM): what note?
Neg (7:36:09 PM): the one where you underlined spend
Rob (7:36:12 PM): well
Rob (7:36:21 PM): that's the only way someone would get it
Rob (7:36:27 PM): you obviously didn't
Neg (7:36:35 PM): well yeah, but that means it's hard and that's good

Kudos AG, for getting it without spend being underlined ;)

rofl, it took you longer than that.

damn AG, you got it fast. nice job.

Thanks. =)

Lemmings is correct.

Here's another.



rush n' attack

You got it. Here's the last one I made the other day. It may be too regional, but let's give it a whirl.

edit lol didnt see new page ;-(

A little late, but yes...


Lemmings is correct.;)

You got it. Here's the last one I made the other day. It may be too regional, but let's give it a whirl.



Unless my knowledge decives me that is Rygar. Also I don't know how I missed Rush'n attack as I used to play that game to death on the NES back in the day.

You got it! That's all from the ones I made.

Maybe some more tomorrow, if people want to keep this going.

Yeah, bring on the trivia!

Here you guys go then.




Oh the irony of this picture set up.

Viewtiful Joe?

man that was fast. Yeah you're right! You just solved Blues Clues!



Sorry. It's late over here. I'm in a silly mood, and I couldn't resist.

@Lord Brimstone: Thanks. =)

Give this a try.

Axelay. One of my favorite shoot'em ups for the SNES. Short but sweet and tough as nails

That's an easy one!

Beaten to it by the Rocket Knight, no surprise

This one might be a little tougher.

Here's one from me.



(breaks out stopwatch.) OK. Let's see if you AG or anyone else can break your record of 2 minutes on one of my puzzles.

Einhander?

I'm not going to break any records on this one. I've gotta run, but this is as far as my guesses got:

dog/Shiro/wolf/fox
doe/deer/reindeer/game
ziggurat/zig/temple/pyramid/step/colossus

Is it any combination of those? =)

DoomJockey got it. The dog's name is Ein, The name for a young deer is called a hind, and the name of that particular Ziggurat is The Great Ziggurat of Ur. I was thinking about using a Hind D instead of a deer but that would have been too obvious.

Edit: Yeah I realized that I screwed up on the spelling of the game and I should have used a hand of some sort. I have always gotten einh�nder confused with Einhinder. My mistake. The reason for this is because of the opening sequence of the game, the voice pronounces the name as " Ein-Hind-er". The � has a umlaut on it so I don't know if it's supposed to be pronounced as a I.

This one might be a little tougher.



I'll go for a double, Barkley Shut Up and Jam.

Shadow Hearts Covenant.

Yep! Hey if you can do a Silent Hill puzzle, then I have to do a Shadow Hearts Puzzle in return. This one should be fun though:



Last one from me for a while.

Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim

i would think the na-fish-tim might've given that one away.

Yeah, that's how I got it.

Yeah you got it. No fair bypassing the Ark 2 picture though! :whatever:

Oh well. What to do next?

I'll go for a double, Barkley Shut Up and Jam.

Yep yep. Probably another easy one:

Biker Mice from Mars

That didn't take long...

biker mice from mars?

is that a game? i thought it was a tv show

ok i made one, i think its easy!



edit: why am i always too late? :|

oh god, too much math!


biker mice from mars?

is that a game? i thought it was a tv show

i thought it was only a game, i'd never heard of the show until now.

biker mice from mars?

is that a game? i thought it was a tv show

Biker Mice from Mars (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGXN8t5T0Nk). Gotta know your 16-bit racers. =)

There was quite a few cartoon shows of the early nineties that got the video game treatment.I would name some but that may kill some of your guys ideas for this game later.

Is it Grim Fandango?

yep :3

Nice red herring with the algebra there Duo. Very nicely done.

I still don't understand what the parentheses is supposed to be.

Is it Grimm Adventures of Billy and Mandy, minus Billy and Mandy?

reaper?

That didn't take long...



chrono trigger

Yeah, but how?

Girl with snake + George Clooney = 0?

yeah the parentheses are supposed to be reaper, i did not know the character was called grimm!

the first picture is from the movie the reaping, the second is george clooney = ER (didnt want to repeat mandi's hosptial shot)

edit: never mind I'm wrong.

yeah the parentheses are supposed to be reaper, i did not know the character was called grimm!

the first picture is from the movie the reaping, the second is george clooney = ER (didnt want to repeat mandi's hosptial shot)

Nice. Sneaky.

Here's another one. This is from something that has the same name as a video game. If no one can get this, I'll give you a clue.

this one should be fun

maniac mansion

yep. that one was way too fun to make, too.
did i get the chrono trigger one right, btw?

Yep!

this one might be challenging

Culdcept Saga ?

you are correct!

Nice job, avilslare. I didn't know any of those characters.

Do people want a clue on mine?

first picture was just a cold guy (culd) the second was a cepter, from Culdcept Saga itself, -ter (the t was a typo) (cept), the third was Excel Saga, - the fourth, excel (saga)

and yes, a hint would be nice

For the puzzle above, the picture is from a music video promoting a song with the same name as the game. The game's title is three words. The first word starts with the letter B.

If you're stuck, here's another one:

Bust-A-Move? My guess for the black and white one.

E.V.O. Search for Eden

Both "Bust a Move" and "E.V.O. Search for Eden" are correct. Here's another one:

sonic blast man?

Shouldn't be too hard. :)

Yep. You got it. Here's the last one from me for today.

terranigma
or however it's spelled, i can never remember

terranigma

You got it!


Shouldn't be too hard. :)



This one was a little difficult. But I think I got it.

Stella Deus: The Gate of Eternity?

man, you guys are quite intelligent, i could not figure out any of these!

Stella Deus: The Gate of Eternity?

Yep :D

Italian star = Stella
God = Deus
Brandenburg Gate = Gate
caryatid of Eternity = Eternity

Ok, maybe that was a bit too symbolic. :(

It took me a really long time to get Stella, but once I had that and Gate I was able to figure out the rest. =)

Soul Nomad and the World Eaters

Forgot to confirm this was right!

I made a similar thread over in TV/Movies (Thread 67560) if you guys would want to play there too.

here's another (should be) easy one

X-blades I assume.

btw, here's an incredibly simple one from me.



and no, it is NOT Black.

here's another (should be) easy one


Megaman X4 my first and favorite Megaman X game/

X-blades I assume.

btw, here's an incredibly simple one from me.



and no, it is NOT Black.

Google tells me there's a game called Whoopee. Never heard of it, but is that it?

Correct, Brimstone.

Let's see how long this lasts.

where in the world is carmen san diego

Sorry, Catastrophe. That's incorrect.

where in time is carmen sandiego
tricky, there

You got it, BNX.

Google tells me there's a game called Whoopee. Never heard of it, but is that it?

Yeah that's it. It's an old and bizarre arcade game.

Long one. =)

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth II: Rise of the Lich King

Sorry, Eshvoide. That's incorrect.

Why did I put Lich? The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth II, The Rise of the Witch-King

beaten to it. geh.

Why did I put Lich? The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth II, The Rise of the Witch-King

Correct, except for the punctuation. =)

Shining Force

yes. i've got another coming up, i just need to find a good picture for the last word

yay, algebra!

Deus Ex: Invisible War

quick, aren't you? yeah, you got it again.

here's another couple easy ones


and



and lastly

The Elder Scrolls: Arena for the last one?

A new one :)

yep.

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines for doomjockey's

@BNX: Is the first one Gun Nac? And is the second one River City Ransom?

@DoomJockey: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
EDIT: Beaten to the punch.

yep, you got mine

forgot to post this one

Mirror's Edge

that's it! i don't know what i would've done if anyone needed help on that one...

Spot on :)

Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram?

*clap clap*

I'm all out for now.

weren't those guys called V.R. Troopers, though?

I killed about 20 minutes on that one. Nice work, BNX.

weren't those guys called V.R. Troopers, though?

Yeah, I thought that one might be kind of iffy, but you got it. :)

I get the feeling pure symbolism may be too hard/annoying though. :o

EDIT: I cropped this down. It should be smaller than this. Working on it...

Bottom of the 9th ?

this one should prove difficult, as it was a japan-only release

Yumeria?

gah, now i'm going to have to think of another one. here i was hoping i stumped y'all again...

Donkey Kong

Gotcha Force

not Donkey Kong (close), but yes Gotcha Force
