Name the Game: Refrankensteined - 09/26/08 07:29 PM
The time has come to start up (once again) our favorite adventure guessing game. These are the rules:
One person (hereinafter known as "It") posts a clue to an adventure game. The clue can be simple or difficult or creative or dastardly or even poetic. Clues can be information about characters or events or puzzles or more (though we do try to stay away from outright puzzle spoilers). When thinking up clues, a good place to look for possible ideas is the GameBoomers collection of adventure walkthroughs (plenty of inspiration there). You can also look up adventure game titles and information in
the PAGODA Game Database for more ideas.
Everyone who wishes to participate posts the name of the game that best matches the clue. If no one has guessed after a few attempts, "It" gives another clue. The person who guesses correctly then becomes "It" and posts a clue for a different game, and so on.
Sometimes people who think they've guessed the game but don't wish to name it will also post a clue -- please do this only if "It," along with the first clue, posts "Extra Clues are Welcome." Of course, keep in mind that sometimes the "Extra Clues" may be "red herrings."
****************************************************
I'm starting off this round so here goes:
Clue 1 -- Mmmmm. Chocolate! (Extra Clues are Welcome.)
Title Subject:
Name the Game:
Reinstated
Resuscitated
Refreshed
Reconditioned
Redeployed
Respawned
Rejiggered
Rezoomed
Retrofatted
Reemergified
Reskankified
Refrankensteined

Second clue: every time you come back from a "World" using the portal that took you there, you come back to Tomb..
Posted By: chrissie
Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 09/27/08 09:14 PM

Posted By: Chief
Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 09/27/08 09:19 PM
Nope, not that game.
Clue #3: in every world (there are 7 of them) you visit using the portals, you meet the same woman.

Posted By: Chief
Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 09/28/08 04:02 PM
Benedict, in Bully's office, on a desk, you have different model ships. One of them is missing a part.
A very good clue by the way.

Posted By: HandsFree
Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 09/30/08 02:09 PM
Not TLJ.
It's a tale about a snake, a bird and a gemstone.
edit: it's about a small snake, a bird, a gemstone and a female snake.
Posted By: chrissie
Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 10/01/08 06:45 PM
Hi HandsFree
I think we need another clue please!
N.B. Thank you Chief for explaining the 'fleet of ships'!
Posted By: HandsFree
Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 10/01/08 09:35 PM
OK, I'll put all my cards on the table then
It's about a small snake, a female snake, a bird, a gemstone and seven firestones.
The villain of the story is the top of the mountain, or maybe he looks like a mountain, I'm not sure
Oh, and there are also three rabbits.
Posted By: HandsFree
Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 10/02/08 10:16 AM
I'm running out of hints
The above clues all refer to people in the game...
Posted By: Becky
Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 10/02/08 12:38 PM
Hands free -- the only adventure game I can think of off hand with animals as main characters is Inherit the Wind. But you didn't mention foxes.

Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 10/02/08 01:36 PM
Shany:
The hints were about people not animals.
For who doesn't know the game, the human characters have the following unusual names: Little Serpent, Woman Serpent, Bird, Turquoise, Seven Flint, Mountain Head and Three Rabbit.

Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 10/02/08 03:18 PM
Dastardly clues!

Look at it as a rebus. What you see in the picture spells out a game title.

Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 10/17/08 08:26 PM
Woodruff has to get an ID picture to get a work permit, but are not dressed correctly.
So he has to find stuff to look better - in the end he just needs a nice smile, so he finds a corn (or is it corncob???), lol.
First then can he go into the factory, where he has to catch hats and put them in a box

Bernard -- could you explain the clues?
Posted By: Bernard
Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 10/28/08 05:14 PM
Sure Becky,
Cobra, the cobra in the house of the thieve in Cairo.
Graveyard Shift, the shifting of the gravestone to enter the house in London.
The Third Man, this bonus clue is a bit more tricky, the story of the film is set in Vienna and its sewers. No sunlight there either!
Your clue is also appliable in more than one way e.g. Dracula not being human.
Posted By: Becky
Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 10/28/08 05:37 PM
Why I thought it was Culpa Innata: Cobra -- the supremacist group that wanted to eliminate the weak (according to the plot description in Wikipedia). Graveyard Shift -- the Graveyard next to Phoenix's office where she first sees the butterfly image.
Misslilo -- great "reading" of the clues!
I guess, like The Thing, Drac is very hard to kill.

Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 10/28/08 07:06 PM

Oh and Bernard, I actually already thought of it from the first clue
Ok, next clue:
Two in one - but still a pair.
Hmm, think I have to clearify it - also this one doesn't refer to the title...lol
So it will be:
Only one - but still a pair!Notice: It's time for me to hit the sack, so I won't be able to respond the next 18 hours, sorry.

Becky got it!
Only one - but still a pair = the twins (one body two heads)
"Fly me to the moon" - by Crash Bandico = the crashed moonbus
Good or bad - it's all up to you! = Multiple endings - one where you can go with the "bad" guys.
The sun never shines on this old future - or so it seems = Selfexplanatory right?
A world of "copy" kills... or live to be 4 years old = Cops kill out-of-this-world-replicas, who only live for 4 years.
"Maggie - here girl" - by KIA = McCoys calls his dog Maggie - always next to the computer and police database KIA in his livingroom.

Ai, I made a wild guess there and now I don't have a clever clue for another title.
So just a straight question then.
In most games, if you click on a closed door, it is assumed you want to open it.
But what game doesn't assume anything and provides the following actionlist to choose from when clicking on a door:
look at, open, unlock, kick in, jiggle, pound on, remove hinges from, burn down, Jimmy, Cheddar, slide under, gnaw, chip away at, deliberately ignore, talk to, walk through.

A similar meaning to the first three words in the last sentence of dialog.

Hmm.. The game I had in mind has an aka title, it fits with your second clue. However the publication year is just outside the
norms you provided.

Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 11/07/08 07:40 PM
I took the date of publication from
the PAGODA game database.

Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 11/07/08 08:29 PM
That ruled out Normality Inc I guess.
I'll try a clue for another game:
A head warmer?
Posted By: Becky
Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 11/08/08 10:09 AM
Not Inherit the Earth, sorry.
Clue three about a third word in the title.
This is a three syllable word. For the first syllable:
A recent US TV series: "I know you know that I'm not telling the truth."

Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 11/08/08 07:29 PM
High Bernard - yes it is! Did you catch me while I was having a little trouble?
Over to you!
N.B. Just want to ask - if I want to post a link & hide the info of the title - how do I do it?
EDIT Thank you Bernard that's what I was trying to do but I didn't want the full title on the link! It defeats the object really!

Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 11/08/08 07:44 PM
Lovely clues, chrissie!
The easiest way to do it, Switch to Full Reply Screen, click the 'Create a link to a website' button (the one on the left), add the URL, click OK, type what you want the link to show, click OK and presto, it is done!
A new clue will be posted soon!

I haven't got a clue what the game is yet Bernard - it's late Saturday night now so had a few too many glasses of wine with my partner - but thank you! - I will have a think about the images tomorrow!

An extra clue. Why? Because it's the weekend!
Posted By: chrissie
Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 11/09/08 09:16 AM
I'll have a wild guess at Phantom of Venice because of the wig, ice-cream flavors & it was sunny!
N.B. Even with a clear head this morning I can't think how you do those images?
Just finished another game where the clues fit just as perfectly!
Posted By: Bernard
Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 11/09/08 10:40 PM
Those images? You can even use smileys!
Perhaps you're closing in....?
Edit: I again forgot to mention that Extra Clues Are Welcome (ECAW)!

Oh dear, so many games and so many bugs! Guess you have to throw in another clue Mad, .... please?
Posted By: Becky
Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 11/11/08 08:05 PM
Nancy Drew: Creature of Kapu Cave?
(Bugs always makes me think of the bunny, but I'm resisting this because there aren't that many games with cheeky rabbits in them.)
Posted By: misslilo
Re: Name the Game: Reinstated - 11/11/08 08:07 PM
Hmm, could also just mean a game, where the main character says that with a frightened look, lol
Although, can't say such game pops right into my head...

Clue 1b: you're probably looking for the title of a game you have not played, cause that first clue was a giveaway, I thought.
Clue 2 is a homophonic reference to the gametitle (pronounced the same, spelled differently).
Clue 3 refers to a famous(?) interactive object.
