Lost Sword of Name the Game - 09/12/12 07:32 PM
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:
Better than cheap

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.
Posted By: Becky
Re: Lost Souls of Name the Game - 09/14/12 12:18 AM

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

Posted By: Mad
Re: Lost Tales of Name the Game - 09/29/12 04:36 PM
Hi Becky
I don't
remember Vimes appearing as a character in the games - but it's quite a while now since I re-played any Discworlds so I can't be sure.
Maybe someone with more brain cells still in play will drop by and tell us !!

I'm stepping in with a clue!
I'm providing individual clues, each clue is a hint indicating one word in the title of the game. The game was released between 1995 and 2000. You can have a look at the adventure games released during that period
at the Pagoda Game Database.Clue #1 for one word in the title:
Associated with another dollar.

Okay, I'm getting gold and mine out of this. But for clue 2, I'm not sure if we're talking about the resurgence or the city. Rome? Venice? Renaissance? Sigh. I should go look under the Pagoda.
At least, I can cross Al Emmo off the list.

OK, in this game if the player (especially one who tends to try everything with everything LOL) tries to give a can of beer to a monkey the game chastises the player on the subject of animal cruelty.
If someone guesses and or I don't reply it's because I've lost power due to the nor'easter.
