We've reached 20 pages on the previous Name the Game thread, and so I'm starting another one. If anyone would like to view the previous Name the Game thread, you'll find Page 1 of the thread here.


For those who are joining us for the first time for Name the Game, this is the procedure:


One person (hereinafter known as "It") posts a clue to an adventure game. The clue can be simple or difficult or straightforward or creative. Clues can be information about characters or events or puzzles or more (though we do try to stay away from outright puzzle spoilers).

Everyone who wishes to participate can post the name of the game that best matches the clue. If no one has guessed after an attempt or two (or if a day passes with no guesses), "It" gives another clue. The person who guesses correctly then becomes "It" and posts a clue for a different game, and so on. If you've posted a guess, or if you are "It," check back every day to see if you've guessed right or if you need to identify the correct guesser, so the game continues smoothly!

(When thinking up clues, a good place to look for possible ideas is the GameBoomers collection of adventure walkthroughs -- plenty of inspiration there.)


I am currently IT.

Clue #1 Refers to One Word in the Title of the Game I'm Thinking Of:

HINT: ONE OF THESE IS NOT PART OF AN ADVENTURE GAME TITLE

Lost Souls of Name the Game
Lost Tales of Name the Game
Lost Files of Name the Game
Lost Kingdom of Name the Game
Lost Cavern of Name the Game
Lost Garden of Name the Game
Lost Keys of Name the Game

All I can think of is license plates and lions. Unless it's Freedy Pharkas?

Gil.

I've been trying to think of a game with "Free" in the title - but if one exists I don't own it !!

Got one with 'gratis' in the title, Mad?

Gil.

Nope, I don't think so - but I'll go check

TSL?

Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron - Forever Free

Good guesses! But none so far are correct.

Clue #2 Refers to Another Word in the Title of the Game I'm Thinking Of:

Not so hot.

Cool. Cool game? Strong Bad's Cool Game for....
Oh, well, maybe not.




Gil.

So far so good. Episode, please?

Clue #3 Refers to Another Word in the Title of the Game I'm Thinking Of that hasn't yet been mentioned:

Barbara sings soulfully of these.

Really, this is a guess. I haven't played it so I didn't know there were episodes.

Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People?

But if that's right, I don't get where "better than cheap" comes in. Would you mind elucidating?


Gil.

"Better than cheap" is a word in the title of the particular episode.

Clue #4: The Episode's title also includes a word that is in the title of this thread.

Am I being too demanding???

Lol! No, not at all. But I'm a Lost Soul, for sure. I'm retiring now.


Gil.

Episode 2: Strong Badia the Free?

You got it Salar -- over to you!
