  • Sherlock Holmes? Hey, I still have that game somewhere in my "Treasures of Infocom" collection.
    Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

    • I guess it's my turn then.

      1986/7

      It is the Age of Chivalry. A time of maidens in distress and black hearted villains. King Richard has been murdered and all of England is engaged in a civil war. Amidst the growing chaos, the Saxon Lords have rallied around your banner and chosen you to lead them in the fight against the hated Normans. Victory will not come easily. Your skills with sword and lance will be thoroughly tested. Your ability to inspire your men in the dark times ahead could be the difference between victory and defeat.

      • Wild guess: Lord of the Realms?

        I haven't played the game, only seen my brother play it... Don't remember when though...
        This space is empty... or is it?

            • The most successful video game put out by Cinemaware. Originally created by Master Designer Software and published by Mindscape.
              Made available on most computer platforms of the time by various companies and distributors.
              The most ported game in history (according to the website I googled )

              • if it starts out in 1149 AD with an intro by Robin of Locksley, i think i know I think I'll let someone else give it a shot first (I've always liked the movie Ivanhoe )
                Insert witty phrase here

                • I know it now. I'll give SCG a few hours to claim glory before I snatch it cruelly from him.

                    • /me thinks they are both bluffing!

                      Yeah, I know it too...
                      I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                        Right I'm not taking that!

                        It's Defenders of the Crown.

                          If that's the one, then I did at least get 50% of the words right

                            Well done! Perhaps we should share the glory 50/50?

                              • Next game:

                                Platform: PC.

                                Some colourful creatures created by a scientist are taking a stroll around a large house. One decides that it is thirsty and takes a gulp of water from a nearby toxic waste pipe. Unexpectedly, it grows smarter and becomes more aggressive and decides to take over the world.
