Sweet!

This one should be SUPER easy.

Forget emulators and roms, I broke out the REAL GAME SYSTEM AND CARTRIDGE at a friend's house recently, and we had a RIDICULOUS amount of fun playing this game.

ROCK!

The last 5 or so rounds have been a complete SHAM!

Yeah, from this point on: it is probably only right to post a new screenshot when you have correctly guessed a game, and the person who posted it has confirmed that you are correct.

Scoreboard:

Albatross = 2
Anti-M = 1
Glenn Case = 2
Jute Gyte = 1
Niveous = 6
Sausage Boy = 2
Treachjuris = 1? (Challenged)
Weaselslayer = 1

ROCK!

Didn't I just get one?
edit: oh, nevermind. I'm shortsighted. It says challenged.
reedit: http://images.google.fr/images?hl=en&q=qfg4&sa=N&tab=wi you'll see it in the third row. It's definitely the opening shot of the game, narrated by Gimle. It is awsome. Shadows of Darkness, all the way.

The research I am doing makes me think that you DID get that game right, and in doing so? Everything from Crystal Castles onward probably should not have been posted, as Monkey Island would have been an incorrect response. Should those points be redacted from my scoreboard? Possibly.

No concrete rules have really been established, but it seems like it was supposed to be "If you guess the game correctly, then you get to post a screenshot" (EDIT: That's more or less what Sausage Boy said when he started this thread.)

Sausage Boy wrote:I'll post a screenshot from an old game, the person who knows it and names it can then post a screenshot for an old game, and so on. ANY platform, ANY title. The obscurer the better!

If/when Jute confirms it, it would be your turn. My screenshot should be considered a bonus at this point. It's not your turn if you guess my most recent screenshot. You know... THIS one:

It's safe to say that you are correct, so get your screenshot ready. I know that we haven't really established any concrete rules to this thread (if there should be any rules for posting screenshots when you answered incorrectly/keeping of points, etc.), but we should probably give Jute the courtesy of stating that you are correct.

ROCK!

Oh, I'm ready.

People who participated in this thread may not have anticipated points being kept, and rules being put into place. For that reason, I have started a seperate thread for a version of this game with points, rules, and a scoreboard for those who wish to compete in said game. Points will not be transferred from this game to the new one.

My recommended set of rules:

Glossary:

POSTER refers to the person who posted the screenshot
CONTESTANT refers to the people who are guessing which game is in the screenshot
POINTS are awarded for correct guesses, and taken away for violating the rules.
I will update the SCOREBOARD as my time permits. I am also volunteering to be the REFEREE in case of any in-game disagreements. I probably should not compete in the thread, as a result.

1. A POSTER is chosen to start the thread.
2. A video game screenshot is posted by the POSTER.
3. The CONTESTANTS guess which game it is.
4. The first CONTESTANT to correctly guess the game is awarded 1 point by the POSTER, and becomes the new POSTER after a correct guess has been confirmed.
5. The POSTER is obligated to confirm a correct guess within 24 hours of the guess being posted. Failure to do so results in a deduction of 1 point from the POSTER's score, and the REFEREE will chose a new POSTER at his discretion.
6. Posting a screenshot when it is not your turn results in a deduction of 1 point from your score. No points will be awarded for correctly guessed games that are out of turn
7. Since the REFEREE is not allowed to compete, they get to post BONUS SCREENSHOTS at their discretion, worth 1 point for the first correct guess. Guessing a BONUS SCREENSHOT correctly does not make you the new POSTER

Thoughts? Suggestions? Willing to take suggestions here.

ROCK!

Heh! Yeah, see? That's how it gets when you add a bunch of un-necessary rules and points. It gets.... um.... lame.

Being that this was your thread to begin with, I was particularly interested in your input on the points/rules idea. I could be reading too much into the whole thing. Wouldn't be the first time. That's why I haven't invested much time into the other thread quite yet. Wanted to see if we could get the primary players who are interested on the same page.

ROCK!

Well, i suppose at its simplest, 1 correct guess means 1 point. The person who posts the game has to confirm the correct guess before the correct guesser gets their point and can post their screenshot.

In the event of a disagreement, we settle it Cage Match style!

I am beginning to think that you and I played the same games as kids.

For shits and giggles, (and no control of the board... I am thinking that it is going to be Egg's turn...), I bet you would know this one too, Albatross:

I spent way too much time playing Bruce Lee as a kid. I even beat it a few times, though I think I needed infinite-life cheats to do so.

I thought I'd usurp this thread cos it was loads more fun than the new one even though I never managed to get any of the games anyway

anyhoo, in the spirit of disorganised free-for-all-ness, here's a game which probably contributed a lot to my current social inadequacy. This should be hella easy.

Also, the name of it IS in the url so feel free to check if you want to ruin you whole life!
