    Name the Game - Part 4 Support Apolyton


    ... and here's the fourth part...


    I start out, by writing a little about a game, the first one who guess's the game, may post some new game info, for others to guess...

    Game rules:
    - Games are not allowed to be newer than Amiga games, but anything before that is allowed (No matter on which computer it was played on)
    - you shall write information about which computer you played it on
    - Don't write part of the name in the game info, unless there's no way to avoid it
    - Write as little as possible, if nobody can guess, write some more later
    - Try to keep games, to be from computers, most people have had...
    - If you're the first one to guess a game, and you're certain you're right, feel free to post your game info (In case you know you'll be leaving soon)... but other players are not allowed to start guessing, before the poster of the first question has approved the answer, or most other players approve the answer

    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.

      Not to try and remove my meagre lead over you Cap, but I don't think it's fair to give me a point for the game no one got, if that is indeed what you did.

        Now that is sportsmanship! Shared first place for CapTVK and Dr Spike it is then!

        Dr Spike's score changed back to 14

          Cap, heck of a job going through all that....but I know that I did six of those games (clue side) so I should have more wins.

          I did:
          Crusade in Europe
          Dragon Wars
          Imperium Galactum
          MULE
          Nueromancer
          Questron

          And actually you only have me listed twice on top, not three times. I remember one of those being a gimme, that is, someone let me start a game without being the perwon that guessed it. Also I did change my user name in the process (RPM_is_Cool).
          We're sorry, the voices in my head are not available at this time. Please try back again soon.

            And now on with the game. See how long it takes. Late 80's, appeared on 16-bit homecomputers (Amiga, Atari ST) and 8-bit as well.


            After all this rhyming methinks its time for sports.
            So got to the stadium and put on some shorts...
            But when I got on the field I was in for quite a shocker.
            Because I was for a very quaint game of one-man soccer...

                Sorry if I got some scores mixed up. I used the first post on part 3 as a starting point. Is there anyone else who I may have missed?

                      I was saying that I was on the clue side of those games. I did not guess them.

                        I think he means he set 6, which probably means he guessed more than 3.

                        For yours how about World Cup Italia '90?

                          Hmmmmmm, I only guessed one correctly, I knew the answer to Dragon Wars but don't remember if that was the one I guessed or not.

                          EDIT: yeah I think that was the one I guessed first because I remember having my wife go through the box looking for it.

                              Ah, he meant he got 6 right earlier. I'll change the list accordingly

                              P.S
                              Ghengis Farb, you did Guess dragon Wars correctly.
