I guess I'll join in on the word game.

Guess #1 War Arena?

[DrSpike]

We have attracted a new poet I see. :-)

I hope Cap doesn't get too many right whilst I am away and not checking 'Poly too often.

I remember playing something on the Amiga, where you were a robot or a tank or something, and were in a polygonal arena, with different kinds of (extremely blocky) terrain, and had to fight another robot. I suspect that this game is something like that, but I can't remember the name of mine, or anything else other than that I thought it was rubbish.

Guess #2 Robot War?

[Spaced Cowboy]

Sounds like Robot Odyssey, but that was from 1984.

Guess #3 Arena War?

[child of Thor]

I'm thinking of one of those light-cycle type games? I think there was one that you could 'program'......cant remember the name though

Now I have to come up with a game.

Hmmmmm. I'll have to post something after I get off work.

/me starts praying hoping GF wont come up with some ancient game...

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Hmmm, let's see what was available before Robot War came out.............

Heres my pathetic attempt at poetry:

This classic themed game was simple but fun,
Your choice of words could score more than your "gun".
For many of us this game was a thrill,
If your charm was quite good you could gain Miss April.

Secret of Monkey Island?

That's the first one. This guess is solely based upon the use of words, and I think that it was already used, but there we go.

What exactly did the Monkey do to Miss April in that game?

No, that isn't it.

Well I couldn't remember the name of the girl kidnapped by pirates, and you weren't a monkey anyway you prize banana! You were the immortal Guybrush Threepwood!
