The time has once again arrived to start a new Name The Game thread.

Quote:
...so many replies, so little space!!! Rules, for those who haven't participated before, the person who is IT gives clues to an Adventure game, the person who guesses correctly becomes IT. This is an ongoing game, relax, guess and enjoy!!!
Flotsam is IT, having supplied the following clue:

Quote:
Look for the gilt sea dweller.

I've just guessed that the game referred to is The Secret of the Golden Dolphin, which turned out to be correct.

(If anyone wishes to see the last page of the Elbow-Greased Send-off of Name The Game thread, it's here. )

Special Note: Clues of course don't have to be in poetic form (or answers, either). laugh The thread title is merely a doffing of the hat to those who choose poetic clues.

Here's the clue (after this one I'm afraid I'll be all poetried out):

Was the maid afraid?
Who put strictures on her pictures?

Hi flotsam smile

I remember a game that was solely based on postcards and letters etc - but I think it was more a puzzle game than an adventure - and I can't remember the name of it any way !! lol

Still, if nothin' else, I've sent this thread further up the page wink

Cheers.

Another simile clue, methinks. woozy (Becky wonders if it's cheating to look at the games flotsam has reviewed at Quandary.)
