Luscious Muddle of Name the Game

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

I am IT, and I am supplying following clue, including an option Hang Man clue:

Clue: So many underground structures.


***: **** ** *** ****** *******

If you would like to take a look at the previous Marshy Mallows of Name the Game thread, click here.

Heavens to Becky, only 3 letters in the first word? What could it be, even Zork has 4 letters! So how about an "E" as that always seems to be a good, even terrific, guess.

What about Qin: Tomb of the Middle Kingdom?

Mikael -- you got it! Over to you. (And I thought this one would be tough.)

It was tough for me and only one little "e" in it, so that would not have helped me any!

Sierramindy -- I chose it for its lack of "e"s. Yet Mikael solved it with ease.

Yep, he's not only good,but fast - I just mailed the game to my sister , so I thought "finally! one I 've played "and lo',there was the answer !

OK. This (magnificent) game begins at Runciter's Animals.

Mikael

Is it Blade Runner?

Yes!

Impressive.

I rememberered the animal shop at the beginning and just guessed!

Ok, rocks and fog promise a tricky start


btw, how do you type spaces for a hangman? When I submit they just all run together.

Flotsam, when I did it, I had to put an Asterick between the words.

Hi flotsam

I was thinking maybe "And Then There Were None" but I'm actually not too sure

Cheers.

Mad

Hi : I'll guess "Atlantis Evolution".

Barrow Hill?

Lights Out?

Thanks L4L, will try that next time.

Lights Out it is!

Whoooo hooo !
Thanks,Flotsam!


You'll need a few buckets of water in this game.

Carrots too? Is it Wanted, A Wild Western Adventure niteowl?

Simon the Sorceror?

oh no,Chrissie - not THAT much water !

and sorry,Flotsam , not Simon either.


Just make sure you're not high on the "weed" this dude is smoking !

There was a smoking chicken (not be confused with the smoking gun) in UFO/Gnap, and there was at least one bucket of water, but other than that I am stumped.

Runaway: A Road Adventure?

NiBiRu?


Bernard

Shany got it

Thanks.
This guy seems pretty depressed. Maybe he'll cheer up if I free him from his cage...

Ring II

Paradise?

No, sorry.
This yet another game where you have to disguise yourself to solve a puzzle. You disguise doesn't need to work, though.

Atlantis: The Lost Tales?

Hi

I don't know about anyone else but I am stumped and need another clue

Cheers.

Mad

Alright.
Someone close to you has been kidnapped. You spend most of the game trying to find and rescue that someone.

Broken Sword 2? I think

Sorry, no.

The key to making this character happy is to let him make someone else happy.

How about...

Moment of Silence???

No, sorry.
This mouse is really annoying, but it can lead you to interesting places.

Disney's Mickey Mouse Kindergarten

Hi

Haven't a clue .... so just going for one of the many games with a mouse in it

Tony Tough ??

Cheers.

Mad

Correct, Mad!
The problem was I didn't remember too much of the game so my clues were a little vague...
Tony Tough and the Night of Roasted Moths it is.
Your turn Mad.

Really good clues. How'd I miss it?

Those clues were great ,Shany.



Hi Becky!
Yep - how did we ? lol

Thanks, Becky and niteowl!

Hi

That was a surprise !!

Right ....

"An orb for messages can be pretty useful"

Cheers.

Mad

Want to return to Zork? Course you do!


Bernard

Hi

Only with some RYE !!!!

Your turn Bernard

Cheers.

Mad

Well, maybe I'm the catcher OF the rye!

I don't want this one to be to easy!
What about starting with:

How now brown cow?


Bernard

Bone: The Great Cow Race.

Hi

Toonstruck ??

Cheers.

Mad

I told you I didn't want this one to be easy! Sorry Becky and Mad, those answers are not the ones I was thinking about!
Feel free to retry though!


Bernard

Hi

Stupid Invaders ??

Cheers.

Mad

I just had the hope that this one would last some time!
Well Mad you guessed right. Next time I will make it a LOT tougher!


Bernard

The members are great adventure gamers and Mad is one special gamer.

Hi

I bet that's not what goes through your mind when I'm whining for hints, MaG !!

OK then .... The clue ....

"What a rigmarole this character has to go through just so he can get himself a shave"

Cheers.

Mad

Ankh: Heart of Osiris was the first game that came to my mind.


Bernard

Hi

Right again, Bernard !!

So I guess we're in for a really tough one now ??

Cheers.

Mad

Oh yeah! My first clue is the title of a song by Supertramp.


Bernard

Dreamfall?

Nice guess, but Dreamer is not the song. In fact the clue has nothing in common with the name of the game!


Bernard

There's so many. I'll just pull one out of the hat.

Goodbye Stranger?

Game....Paradise? (taking a word from the lyrics, if that's what you're after???)

The Longest Journey ?

Hi

Defintely a toughie !!

Cheers.

Mad

Adventure at Chateau d'Or?
I was thinking about the song School. This game made me feel like I was back in school because you had to learn the entire history of France. And I remember the first lyrics of the song were something like: I can see you in the morning when you go to school. Don’t forget your books, you know, you have to learn the golden rule… But perhaps I’m making it to difficult.
Greetings,
sAndFloo

Hmm. School is out? Keepsake?

Well, The Logical Song could be just about any adventure game!!
I'm going with Black Mirror and "It;s Raining Again".

Sorry Zookeeper and Niteowl07, Goodbye Stranger and Take the Long Way Home are not the song I have in mind! But I have to admit these answers are very creative! Mad when I say it will be tough it's going to be tough!

Here's the good news, a new day deserves a new clue:

The name of the girl group that sang "One Wonderful Night".

Now it's really easy


Bernard

Still Life?

EDIT: For anyone who's confused - the band name I got was Cookies.

Some goodies for you flotsam that is the song I looked for!
Let's go to the second clue and go back to the 60's. She don't deserve you was another song by the same group!

Bernard

" The Honey Bees" song group
Possible game :The Bee Movie Game".

Kings Quest 5?

Hi

I'm definitely not with this set of clues

I hope all will be explained when someone guesses the game ??

Cheers.

Mad

Goodies for you too Ellimay The Honey Bees is the group I have in mind.
The clues so far:
1 It's raining again.
2 The honey bees.

It's Sunday and I'm in a good mood, so I'll give you an easy one Here we go: The Swedish rock band Europe had a huge hit in 1987 with this song.


Bernard

Bees and rain? Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None?

I think you might be onto something there Becky! as the song I think is 'The Final Countdown'!

Song " The Final Countdown" Game= "Secret Files of Tunguska"

OOPS! Chrissie didn't see you got the song too. LOL
Gee from the 60's to the 80"s I'm starting to feel old.

Becky that's the GAME I was thinking off1
Extra points for you Chrissie you guessed the last hint.
I turn over the stick to you Becky.


Bernard


P.S. do I really have to explain the clues Mad?

It's Magic.

*** ****** ** ******** **** ***: ****** * ******

I will guess an "e" and the first word has 1 while the second word has 2, but the rest of the words I have no idea of what they could be! Nothing I've ever played, I'm pretty sure, although lately I haven't even been close to guessing games I have played.

After some searching - I think it's "The legend of kyrandia book one: fables & fiends"

I'll bet you are right, Shany, although I was thinking the second word was *Secret* not *Legend" but it does have 2 "e's" in it, so I was sort of right, right?

Shany -- you got it!

Maybe I should try an easy one, since the ones I think will be hard apparently aren't.

Frustrating, isn't it!


Bernard

At one point in this game you can become either a prisoner or a prison guard.

The Chronicles of Riddick ????

No, sorry.

At first you may think you're playing Doom, but this is a pure adventure.

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion ??

Hi

Now, now !! Tripping down that action road again, Ellimay



Cheers.

Mad

This is yet another game where you have to navigate a maze-like sewer.

Traitors Gate?

Nope, sorry.
One of the objectives you have in this game is finding a brain.

It really sounds odd! Have I played this one and forgotten all this stuff?

Hi Becky

If you have, you have joined my club !!

I'm absolutely stumped ....

Cheers.

Mad

It's an obscure game, so maybe you never played it.
So let's try an easy clue:

The interface looks like an action figure of the character you're controlling, which is good, since this game is played in 1st person.

Dreamfall



ETA: Well, I know it's definitely not Dreamfall now after that last hint. But it would've worked for the hints before that.

hmm ,was going to say Frankenstein , eotm , but ...?

Hi

I think Full Throttle had an interface like that ??

And I know I have played another also.
Now it's driving me mad trying to remember what it was

You have a lot to answer for, Shany !!

Cheers.

Mad

It's an objective I have every morning when I wake up!

Is it The Space Bar?

No, sorry.
I hope all my clues are correct, I played this game such a long time ago

Your first task in this game is to watch TV. Or to pretend you're watching TV, at least.

I remember watching TV in Buried in Time.

It's not Zork: Grand Inquisitor? (Counting the Coconut of Quendor as a brain?)

Neither of these, sorry.

This game reminds me of 1984, but it was released in 1996.

Blade Runner.

Sorry, no.

Although you find a large hammer, you will need to use a guitar to smash through walls.

Bad Mojo Redux
OOPs I dont think so, but, what the heck lol

game: Normality??

I reckon thats it Elli! Fingers crossed.

Hi

Ooooh !! And maybe the Lustrous Medal will be awarded !!!!



Cheers.

Mad

I hope so Haven't been able to guess one in awhile.

System Shock

Ellimay got it! It was Normality.

Ok Here's my clue#1

Am with a peer, water is near ,but not so clear.

Hi

OK. For my first guess .............

Day of the Tentacle ??

Cheers.

Mad

WOW You got it MAd. Back to you :YAY:

Hi

Here goes then ....

Another game where you get to use a sewing machine - and NO - you are NOT sewing a red dress !!

Cheers.

Mad

Thank heavens !

Faust?

Hi

So, you're a secret sewer, eh, Shany ??

Yes. You are correct

Cheers.

Mad

Thanks Mad.
I am the sewer of the house, though I'm not too good at it.

Next clue:
Another game that requires getting honey from a beehive. But this puzzle isn't as simple as it looks.

Then there were none?

No, sorry, it's not 'And then there were none'.

Since it's a new page I'll give a new clue:

Your character is quite the charmer. He flirts with nearly every woman he meets.

It can't be Secrets of Da Vinci - there's only 1 woman.....

thinking - this sounds oh-so- familiar....

Secrets of Atlantis.

Right, it's 'Secrets of Atlantis'.
Over to you, Zookeeper.

Thanks

Ok...this will probably be too easy but here goes...

Start a fire to scare the bad guys.

No bites? Another clue then...

Start a fire, scare the bad guys, then RUN to the jeep.

Hi

Martin Mystere ??

Cheers.

Mad

Broken sword III?

That's it sAndFloo Your turn.

Oops, ok
I don't think this one will be too difficult:

You are not accused - you are excused!

Good luck!

Hm, another clue?

Perhaps this one will make it easier:

A repulsive murderer has been murdered repulsively, and, perhaps, deservedly

Sounds like a CSI or Law and Order game. But I don't know which.

Nope.
But it’s definitely a detective game. The two clues above are words spoken by the second most important character in the game. So is the next one:

Use your little gray cells...

AC- Murder on the Orient Express

That's it!

Over to you, Nightowl.

Thanks !



Getting past this dog is a snap...

Are you sure you haven't played Limbo of the Lost before its release?

Broken Sword 1.

No wait, that was a goat.

Hi

Flight of the Amazon Queen ??

Cheers.

Mad

Sherlock Holmes-Silver Earring?

nooo, not those.

#2 - follow a crow ...

Hi

I remember a crow in The Longest Journey .... so I'll guess at that .... but I can't think if there was a dog !!

[Sometimes my mind and I part company ]

Cheers.

Mad

King's Quest 7?

There is a crow in Jack the Ripper but was there a dog?

Is it Broken Sword 3? (Can't remember a crow though!)

noo,not those.

#3 - there are a lot of ..ahem...women here and there

Hi

Women, a crow and a dog ?? Can't think of that combination in a game. Definitely stumped !!

There are plenty of women near the start of Paradise so I'll guess that, this time .... and as you can see, my guesses are getting wilder

Cheers.

Mad

Space Cowboys ???

Dreamfall?

none of those,either.

#4 - your job is dangerous ,but Dad's house is a good place to unwind...

Resident Evil??

Still Life? It fits with dads house but not sure about the other clues.

Shady Brook? Can't remember a dog, crow & lots of women but it did have a house with dad in it - don't know whether it was his or not!

It does sound like Still Life - there's a dog in the junkyard and the crow who steals the ring...

Zookeeper !

it is indeed Still Life.Over to you....

Lucky guess!

First clue-

I really need to get into that cabin, but that darn henchman is in the way.

Runaway , the 1st one ?

Not Runaway.

I have this sling shot. I wonder if I could use it to distract that guy.

The Adventures of Willy Beamish?

No, not that one.

Someone told me that the locals use slingshots to hunt birds near the lake...maybe the commotion will get that guy away from the cabin.....Yes, that works! Now to get inside.

Dracula Resurrection?

Good one Barry! Your turn.

How many times have you heard that old saying from your parents and used on your kids if you have any ,"money doesn't grow on trees you know" But then again HMMMM

Hi

Return to Zork ??

Cheers.

Mad

Ya got it Mad, your turn

Happy Gaming,
Barry

Hi

Thanks, Barry So here we go again ....

"Start this game in the Chinese guest Room."

Cheers.

Mad

ND Message in the Haunted Mansion??

Hi Ellimay

That's the one

Cheers.

Mad

Oh! I forgot to check whether I guest it.

OK Clue #1

Marvelous mosaics and murals

Pompeii: The Legend of Vesuvius

Sorry not Quite.

Clue#2 Getting out of this house is a chore.

I think we need another clue please Ellimay!

The word chore makes me think of a Nancy Drew game. Maybe Curse of Blackmoor Manor?

Sorry not ND
Clue #3

I can't get out of this house. A clue I need.

So where is everybody? No guesses, no more clues. Clue #3 isn't much help to me because it is almost the same as the second clue!

Clue #4
Not much to see in the rooms, but I love the atrium and the pool.

Clue#5 Figure out how to open the chest in the vestibule.

Hi

One of my wild guesses ....

The Watchmaker ??

Cheers.

Mad

Hi
Sorry not that one

Clue#6 Adrian has a very fragile constitution...

Jerusalem? (The game after Pompeii?)

You're getting hotter Becky, but, not quite.Hope this game hasn't more than one name I know it by.

Clue#7 Find Harpocrates....

Timescape: Journey to Pompeii is the same game as Pompeii: The Legend of Vesuvious. Am I there yet? (The volcano's gonna blow any minute now.)

LOL Yay Becky you got it. So Sorry I didn't know they were one and the same. Too many names for some.
You go girl . Off to you. Thx for telling me.

Thanks Ellimay -- the difference in titles is definitely confusing.

A dead end job.

**** ********

Grim Fandango?

Was it THAT obvious?

Hi

Not to me !!!!

Cheers.

Mad

You rule, Shany.

Thanks

At some point in this game you get a knife - a very useful item - only to give it away about five minutes later.

Hi

Oh, Shany !!

I know about five hundred game characters who get a knife at some point !!

'Course, the trick is remembering which one gave it away like that

Cheers.

Mad

Let's make it easier, then.

You are also given an axe.

The Egyptian Prophecy??

Escape from Monkey Island??


Bernard

No, sorry.

These animals will help me get across - even if they're not real animals.

Lions and tigers and bears, oh... wait, there's no tigers.

Hi

Echo : Secrets of the Lost Cavern ??

Cheers.

Mad

You got it, Mad! Echo it is.

Hi and Shany

Clue :

Have a read of the Daily Moose newspaper in this game

Cheers.

Mad

Nancy Drew: The White Wolf of Icicle Creek?


Bernard

Hi Bernard

Yes .... That's it !!

EDIT :
Hah !! Just spotted the new thread title

Cheers.

Mad

The first three clues are the names of musicals!

1. Musical composed by former members of ABBA.
.....

2. Musical composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber in 1981.
....

3. Musical about flower power, love, peace and sex (1969).
....

Have fun


Bernard

Gabriel Knight 3?

Road to India? (Am I way off base with clue 3?)

Very good Shany !

The clues were: 1.Chess 2. Cats 3. Hair


Bernard

Up Up and Away

Great clues!

Our main character is quite the liar - first she claims she knows nothing about science, then she goes to identify rare flowers by their scientific name.

Bioscopia?

Secret files of Tungusta

Nancy Drew and the Creature of Kapu Cave?

Old Lady got it! It was Tunguska.

Calling Old Lady, Calling Old Lady, where are you................

I had to search for this thread and why is it on page 21? I did try up to page 4 and when I didn't find it I tried the SEARCH feature. The first time for me and it worked!

Sierramindy -- it's pn page 1 for me. (With 14 pages within the thread.)

It's on page 1 for me now, too, with 22 pages in my thread. But it wasn't there before and that page 21 was at the end of the title pages, not the thread. I went to 4 of the pages and was into September posts already so I didn't look any farther than that. I looked very carefully and I always follow Name the Game so I'm sure I didn't just overlook it accidentally. Even with those name changes I always found it before, sometimes on page 2 if it was a busy day for posts.

Not sure what happened. I'm glad it's back where it should be now, though.

Sorry for the delay folks. I was cooking Sunday supper, then family TV time then bed. Then the morning housework. We are 8 hrs ahead.

Oh my goodness, I should have thought of a new clue before I made my guess at the answer.

Clue 1, that coconut just missed me

Return to Mysterious Island ?

Very, very good niteowl07. Congrats you have a hole in one.

Becky, I'm on page 22???
Happy thanks giving to any of my partners relitives who are on line :Canada:

Hmmm. Old lady, maybe I'm the one who customized the number of posts per page. We literally aren't on the same page, are we? Is this a problem, or just a symptom of exuberant individuality?

No problem Becky - just thought you would like to know. Maybe we have shorter pages over here

I'm only on page 11, but that's because a few months ago I went into my Gameboomers preferences, located "Total posts to show on one page," and changed it from the default of 15 to 20...

Thanks,oldlady ! I remember jumping over that coconut !


You will find that accompanying this lady as she sings is puzzling at first,but fairly easy.

no guesses ?

Clue #2- hmm - the house is surrounded...

Syberia 2
I doubt it, just taking a stab in the dark.

Bone: Out from Boneville?

Paradise?

ignore, there is no singing in Paradise...

Secrets of Da Vinci.

yes,Shany ,that's the one!

In order to get this woman to talk to us we need to convince her that we arrested her boyfriend.
Hmmm... I wonder what kind of cigarettes he smokes...

Time for a bump

It sounds like this man is in Russia. It sounds like he's near a church. It sounds like...

Hi

Well, I can't come up with an answer to your clue but I quite fancy a drink of Becky's new beverage

Cheers.

Mad

You do???

Hi Becky

Why not ??

I Like licquorice and mead is made from wholesome ingredients

Granted they are not ingredients I have ever tried "together" before .... but what's the worst that could happen ??



Cheers.

Mad .... Being naughtily OFF TOPIC

Hi
Tsarevna: A Midieval Russia Quest ????

I never even heard of that one, Ellimay.

We must find the killer. To do that we need to idenify his face and his voice.

Mad -- I agree, that is the worst that could happen.

Shany -- your clues seem so familiar, yet I can't name the game as usual. A possibly unfair question -- is it one of the Law & Order games?

Hmmmm! a Max Payne game???

Not one of the Law and Order games, Becky, but you're getting closer...

Not Max Payne, Ellimay. Which brings me to my next clue...

You do shoot things in this game, but only for a short while.
There is plenty of other gun action in this game - watch an assassination, get threatened in an alley, examine the pieces of a gun, order a swat team around...

You get to order a SWAT team around? Now it's really getting interesting.

Could it be Police Quest: SWAT?

licquorice . Yuckity yuck. Can we call it the Reeses peanut butter cups name of the game next time?

It's a thought.

Oh my! I'm not sure I could stand that. I once got so addicted to those peanut butter cups that I had to quit, cold turkey, as I couldn't control the craving any other way. Haven't tried any since.

Hmmm... I may be mixing up my terms. Not sure if it's actually SWAT, but it is something similar.

Either way, it's none of the games mentioned so far, sorry.

Let's try a more technical clue:
To go from the US to Russia all you need to do is change the CD.

Wild guess!: Missing since January!

Spycraft?

You got it, Becky!

Spycraft had some awesome puzzles - like finding a man's location through a short audio recording, or faking a man's picture by both getting the items he would have with him right, and getting the proportions and shadows right.
I would love to see another game with those puzzles. They were fun and challenging.

Well Shany, your clues are so expert that I never guess the game you're giving clues for if I've played it. I think the reason I guessed Spycraft correctly is that it's one I haven't played yet.

Clue: is this family's break-up symbolic of what is happening in their country?

Paradise ?

You got it niteowl!

You are making me blush, Becky.

Well, when I post clues I think are difficult, people guess them right away. Next time I think I'll try posting an easy clue.

Hi

Oh, Becky .... Don't do that !!

Just have a sip of that special Mead and you'll discover a whole new world of clues popping into your head in no time.

Where do you think everyone ELSE's clues come from ??

Cheers.

Mad

I didn't know that. (Becky looks around for licorice extract to add to the Honey Mead.)

Cheers. Mad

Aww, Becky - I think it's cuzz we think alike sometimes ,and Benoit's topics are interesting , not that the clue was easy - just good.

Anyway - #1 -there are some government shenanigans in this game ,too.
Kidnapping included !

#2 - icky ! you have to think to get this disguise...

Zork Grand Inquisitor? (I think Mead was in the game too.)

Hi
Prince of Persia : The Sands of Time ??

Gabriel Knight 3?

Sorry , not those.

#3- Travel by train,someplace cold
Travel again,someplace warm
crisscross the globe....

Hi

This is an utter guess because I never played the game .... But I know there was plenty of globe trotting

80 Days ??

Cheers.

Mad

Syberia

no,neither of those...

#4 - this rather unsavory character doesn't make it , and the supposed good guy isn't , in the end....



#5 - thank goodness for that cutie you met at the museum - he turned out to be a real lifesaver...

Tunguska????

Yes, that's the one , L4L !

"It's so dark in here. I wonder where I am? I wonder how I got here"

Is this the game where it begins and you are in the dark and you cant remember how you got there .The name aludes me if it is .Maybe a little clue for some one else of I am right

Did Dark Fall start like that??

was it scratchs

Not one of those, sorry.

"Maybe this journal will help me figure out what is going on."

Okay, time for a another clue.


"If I can get these wheels lined up correctly, maybe I'll find a secret passage. "

Destination: Treasure Island, maybe???



Bernard

Good guess Bernard, but not quite, though there is treasure involved.

"Look, I found a boat. I think I'll get in it and see if I can find my way out of this swamp"

Another wild guess: Last Half of Darkness : Beyond the Spirit's Eye??


Bernard

Not so wild Bernard! That's the one

You are up

Mmmmm, I'm not as wild as I thought to be then

Well Agatha Christie stories are hot at the moment! There's not only "Evil under the Sun".

the first clue is the title of a Hercule Poirot story in which wax flowers are an important clue:

1. ..... ... .......


Have fun,


Bernard

Black Mirror

Going strong Becky
(For the curious: the title was "After the Funeral".)
Over to you.


Bernard

He screams. He burps. But can he speak?

Another clue. He appears to be one. But his name indicates many.

Hi Becky

I can't come up with anything at ALL !!

Cheers.

Mad

not a clue .The name Lot means a lot but I don t know of a game with any one with that name in it .Is this an old game

Yes, it's an old game.

The music and messages on the radio are odd. And how does the postman get to the mailbox?

Is it a scary one like Shivers

No. If you leave him alone too long, your player character will remove his head and wave at it.

Your character has feet of clay. Okay, a whole body of clay.

The Neverhood??


Bernard

You got it!

Hi Becky !!

Hehehe !! I'd completely forgotten that bit with the "head"

Cheers.

Mad

Clue #1:
The title of a James Bond movie with Tanya Roberts and Grace Jones.


Bernard

Is it, "Missing?"

Broken Sword 1?

Sorry, those are not the game I have in mind.


Bernard

A view to a kill??

Bernard -- I think we need another creative cultural clue!

Ok, another clue.

Clue#2: A movie with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers (1935).


Bernard

Two of those. I'm going with the lesser known one and guessing:

The Colonel's Bequest

Oops, a little glitch in that clue! I will make it up to you with the third one.

Clue#3: A horror movie by Gore Verbinski (2002).


Bernard

Is it "The Ring"???

Bernard -- should we ignore Clue 2?

Elli, "The Ring" is indeed clue number 3.

Don't ignore clue#2, BTW it is not "Roberta".

Clue#4: The movie debut of Bette Midler.


Bernard

Roberta was such a good clue though! Oh well.

If it is her uncredited movie debut, then I will guess:

The Creature of Kapu Cave

Becky, I will keep Roberta in mind for a next time.

Orchgamer, sorry wrong guess.

I think the little grey cells are not at their best this weekend, hence another clue.

Clue#5: A movie based on a comic book series, starring Jim Carrey.


Bernard

4 - the rose ?
5- batman ,the riddler ?
and we have a view to a kill , a top hat ,and a ring ?


still life ?

4 out of 5 ain't bad Niteowl, just clue#5 isn't right!


Bernard

aaah - you're making me think too hard tonight ! LOL

I'll bet that movie was The Mask???

Your bet was right L4L! The question for me is now, should I give another clue or let this clues simmer for a while?

I decided to wait a little!


Bernard

Well I'm going to guess " Fable : the Lost Chapter??"

Hi

I have to say these are not my favourite type of clues ....

Are we guessing game titles or film titles

Cheers.

Mad

It sounds like it should be Phantom of the Opera, but that was never made into an adventure game as far as I know.

How about Sherlock Holmes: Silver Earring?

Mad -- Bernard is adding a layer of challenge, which I like. You first guess the name of the movie/cultural reference. Then from that you guess the name of the game.

Was it the one Mystery of the hermits .Some thing like that any way .Got a pic on the front of a monk .Its on the tip of my tongue .Got it Mystery of the Druids

Hi Becky

I'm glad you, and obviously others, are enjoying the format

Just not my particular cup of tea

Cheers.

Mad

Cheers, Mad!

keeps the grey matter going

Oh gee, poor me, I haven't been able to guess either film titles or game titles. I'm completely in the dark, just right for Halloween.

Bernard -- is it cheating to Google or Wikipedia the film titles in your cultural clues? (If so, I've been cheating.)

I call that using your head Becky

Me to Becky .

Could it be Jack the Ripper? It would fit with 'View to a Kill', a tophat & a mask! - can't remember where a rose & ring would come in

Sherlock Holmes: Rose Tattoo?

Good evening and good night ladies and gentlemen. First I would like to thank Becky for her kind words, It's always nice to hear that someone likes the little games you construct. As for using Google and Wikipedia I say please do, I use them too. I try to give enough keywords in every clue to find the name it's pointing at using the Net. Niteowl07 did give the right answer (Still Life) but please Niteowl, next time time don't edit a previous reply, make a new one! I just saw a few minutes ago reviewing the previous replies!

Well it's up to you now Niteowl!


Bernard

P.S. I hesitated with clue #2, because the name Roberta has something in common with the names of most of the female characters in 'Still Life'. Bonus points for the one who tells me what I'm hinting at.

Bernard - not that I'm nit picking , but the post was edited before you responded , not after. Perhaps it had more to do with my lack of capitals or placement , that you did not see the guess.

At any rate ,I give my turn to Becky , as time prevents me from playing for this week. Have fun , everyone !

After flailing and failing, I get to give a clue? Life just isn't fair all the time, is it?

I hope you're doing something very enjoyable for the next week, niteowl!

Clue (directly for the game): this is not where I'd expect to find three different kinds of holy water.

Three holy waters? Yhat points me to India.
India, what adventure games are situated there?
My guess would be 80 days, altough I never played this game.


Bernard

Wow! You got it, Bernard.

Never thought I had this one!
I have a lot to do at the moment and not much time, so I will give s short clue.

Clue#1: a clean break in.


Bernard

Traitor's Gate?

Sorry orchgamer.
Time for a second clue I think.

Clue#2: Sirens distract men, something already known in Greek mytholigy!


Bernard

like mermaids

Hi

Well I could try with Odyssey: The Search for Ulysses.

[Don't know about the "clean break in" though ;)]

Cheers.

Mad

Don't get tangled in the web of extra info I add!

Clue#3: Like UB40 sang, 'There's a rat in the kitchen'.


Bernard

Ankh

A "rat in the kitchen"? Well, that should be right up my caterer's alley, wouldn't ya think, but actually I am completely stumped.

Bad Mojo?

Monkey Island 2?

The only one I can think of is Ratoulie, based on the movie, but I have no idea if it's been made into a game.

Sorry everyone!

Clue#4: 'Diamonds are a girl's best friend' according to Marilyn, for this girl however a pair of stockings will do.


Bernard

Tunguska??

undercover

Bull's eye dragonuk44, your game now.


Bernard

This one comes from a very popular tv program

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (game)?

Hi

CSI ??

Cheers.

Mad

Law and Order?

Hi and thank you, dragonuk44

Here we go then ....

"Annoying a person of such status could have disastrous results "

Cheers.

Mad

I'm thinking Culpa Innata here, Mad. That game is still really fresh in my memory!

Hi

'Fraid not Rushes

OK. Another clue ....

"It would help if I could get out of the house !!"

Cheers.

Mad

Mad

How bout the first Ankh

Hi looney4labs

Yep !! That's the one

Cheers.

Mad

Thanks Mad

"I'll leave my journal here as a map in case someone follows"

Is it Dead Reefs?

Good guess, LadyK, but that's not the one I was thinking of.

Eye spy a cat!

Argon

Another good guess, Dragon, but that's not it either.

What a strange and deadly spider Eye see.

is it a new game or an old one

Not brand new, but newish

Would it be Nancy Drew: Legend of the Crystal Skull?

st john delaware

Hi Rushes, not that one, though I can see why you might think that.

Dragon, keep guessing

Clue:

I need a brain. Where can I get one?

Dreamfall, maybe?


Bernard

There you go, Bernard You got it

Well here we go:

A new colleague for Al Bundy?


Bernard

Another clue:

Small doors have to be opened to unlock this door.


Bernard

I just googled Al Bundy to find out who he is. He has colleagues?

I don't know which Al Bundy you found, I mean Al Bundy in the sitcom 'Married...with children'.


Bernard

I guess I should stop gaming and watch a little television.

I might be wrong but I don't think we get Al Bundy over here Bernard - does that make that an internationally unfair clue? Can we have another? ....please!

Alright, Al Bundy is shoe salesman in a shop called Gary's shoe store in Chicago.

BTW, this is the third game in which I've met a mr. Ackerman who is connected to the art business.


Bernard

culpa innata

Strike! You're the top bowler now dragon.


Bernard

In this game a proffessor turned into a detective .

Indiana Jones: Fate of Atlantis?

Our Name the Game thread has once again reached 25 pages! It's time to start a new thread, which you can find by clicking here. We will continue with dragonuk44's clue on the Stuffed Turkey of Name the Game thread, the title of which is my personal homage to Thanksgiving.
