well it would be nice if there was an easy way to make a bigger space between words on a line of text. when i did the origonal list i made a nice formated word doc to copy/paste onto here! bye bye formatting and i was left witha big unreadable mess, so using the bold function became the only way i knew to make an easy to read distinction between the game guessed and the guesser.

i tend to do one set of "[ b ] + [/b]" ing and then copy/paste each one onto each line, where needed.

How about an html table? Like we do in NW ... a simple one, anywho ...

[DrSpike]

Nope.

I'll do Clue 3 as soon as I can think of one.

[DrSpike]

Clue 3: Arcade classic, though under a different name.

[CapTVK]

Nemesis? These days it is called the gradius series I believe...

[DrSpike]

Damn he's good.

Correct.

[child of Thor]

He is isn't he! - makes me wonder if you'd still be the champ if he hadn't dissapeared for a while (feel the pressure! he's only a few behind!)

Nice one Cap I was miles away from guessing that one.

[DrSpike]

Hey! I'm decent too.

[CapTVK]

Thanks CoT, it helps if you actually played the original in the good 'ol days. Otherwise i wouldn't have known either. This game wouldn't be so much fun without some decent competition for Dr.Spike and I'm glad to oblige.


Trouble is that the further you come the harder it becomes to find a new game to name. I'll have to think a bit for the next one.

your kidding right? I got thousands of games i've played over the years we haven't done yet - i can pm you some suggestions if you want

Finding difficult ones to guess can be difficult sometimes, but dont despair we've got decades of games left for the naming

Now working out a ryhmn - thats difficult every time

@ Dr.Spike - off course, you are King of Name the Game Cap is just getting closer to your crown

Me too.

Still, if you give it a few minutes thought something usually comes to mind.

I think you've got more games as you've won less.

And I too think Cap would be a worthy champ. I'm still going to try and stop him though.

"got thousands"!? Shouldn't you be in the lead then?

Coming with just a game isn't that difficult but I want to be a really good or special game. "Electronic Junior Angling" doesn't have the same ring as "Alter ego", "Zork Zero" or "Portal" to it.

that depends, maybe i'm just not very good at guessing before other people do

I currently have a games catalogue of +300 games approx, which covers amiga,pc,gamecube+xbox and spans the last 6 years of my hobby. I have been a gamer since 1980 though, and am not in possesion of games anymore for my ZX81, Atari800,AtariST or my first Amiga
I probably have played over a thousand games in my life(that sounds sad!)

Yes the 'classics' are getting more difficult to pick, although i'm surprised at some of the ommisions on our list(and we definately have lost a few in the process of the game so far).

you thought of one yet?
It's fun watching you and Spikey duel for the crown.

[DrSpike]

Best part of when Cap sets is he can't get it.

[child of Thor]

but the downside(for you) is that it means he's added a +1 to his score already
