Cleopatra in action game? Sounds cool! But that's not the game.

So many robots! And they are all so helpful.

Perry Rhodan?

Yes.

I'm also thinking of a more recent game.

Clues will be quotations -- each quote will contain one word that is part of the story in the game.

Clue 1: "Should I speak ill of him that is my husband?"

No, I don't think she should speak ill if she can avoid it, but unfortunately that doesn't help me with the name!

Clue #2 -- one word in this quotation refers to something else in the plot of this game:

"When he crosses the slow moving clouds
And sails upon the heart of the wind."

I haven't played it, but it sounds like "Heaven" in the words that I have heard others talk of when talking of the game.

Not Heaven, sorry! No husbands in it, for instance.

Clue #3 -- one word in this quotation refers to something that is part of the gameworld.

"No,'t is not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church-door; but 't is enough."

Clue # 4 -- one word in this quotation refers to something that is used early in the game.

"Will you pluck your sword out of his pitcher
by the ears?"

I see the quotation innovation is too obscure. I've gone back and put the clues within the quotations into boldface.

Clue #5 --

"O that I were a glove upon that hand"

I haven't got a clue really but I'll have a guess at Rhiannon?

Not Rhiannon, sorry!

Clue #6 --

"A plague o' both your houses" or a modernization of the quote: "A pox on both your houses"

Ah, Tales of Monkey Island (the first episode?)

Yes, you got it, Shany. I guess the quotations idea is too, err, out there.

The quotations are from Romeo and Juliet. Originally I was going to quote something about the balcony (because De Singe stands on his balcony) but was surprised that "balcony" is never actually mentioned in the text of Romeo and Juliet.

So much for innovation.

I thought that "glove upon the hand" sounded like Romeo, but I couldn't think of a game that had him in it. So much for that clue.
