OK, here's one. It's super easy but I couldn't help but mention it. I had this game when I was a kid and didn't quite understand how it worked (because I never had the instructions). When I was a teenager, I fixed up my old system and was pleased to find this game still worked, and happily beat the game that day.

ROCK!

Argh, how did I miss this thread??

Okay, I think we need a hint to which game that is featuring good ol' Nick Fury.

Posted: **Fri Jul 07, 2006 8:09 am**

Ha, it's not actually Nick Fury, but ok I don't know if this is a good hint or not: I've mentioned this game and used this screenshot before (as well as another) in a review before.

Spaceship Warlock.
(I'm good at hunting info.)

My turn again.

I played all sorts of video games but the ones I've posted each have some significance to me. I already said the story about me & ET. Rescue is one of my favorite games and a game that I accidentally never returned to Blockbuster and eventually had to pay for. This new one is a game I shared with my kids and led to much hilarity to this day.

Wow, I kill threads dead....Okay, here's a hint. In the picture, the main character is defeating a boss through a game of rock, paper, scissors.

Posted: **Mon Jul 10, 2006 10:10 pm**

not Alex Kidd is it? Didn't they do rock-paper-scissor in that? I know they do in Miracle World, but I don't know if the rock-paper-scissors thing is a staple of the Alex Kidd universe.

Posted: **Tue Jul 11, 2006 4:17 am**

Yep, Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle. Me and the kids found nothing sillier than beating bosses through Roshambo.

OMG - I TOTALLY knew that was Alex Kidd. Jan Gen PO!
hee.

K - Niv, I need help with production re: Mean to Me. She rocks, but muddy. PM me.

Hint: You could play it on a Tandy in 1984.

And this one, you'd better get. 1989 - and OMG they re-made it for DS!!!!

Posted: **Tue Jul 11, 2006 10:26 am**

okay I know the latter one is "A Boy & His Blob" but I have no clue about the former one.

Posted: **Tue Jul 11, 2006 10:40 am**

we didn't get a tandy until xmas 1986 so i can't help here either.

Posted: **Tue Jul 11, 2006 2:34 pm**

K. It's "Below the Root" where you live in a tree and float around on a Shuba.

Posted: **Tue Jul 11, 2006 5:00 pm**

It looked like Treasure Island Dizzy... but with a man instead of an egg.

Posted: **Wed Jul 12, 2006 8:29 pm**

Ok, here we go

And heres a clue. The intro animation was done by Eric Schwartz.

Posted: **Wed Jul 12, 2006 11:03 pm**

I know it

but only through google.

Posted: **Thu Jul 13, 2006 8:15 pm**

is it pacman.

Posted: **Sun Jul 16, 2006 2:15 pm**

Okay, since no one else is answering, it's Superfrog.

Have you ever seen Superbfrog?

Guess it's my turn again. This is super simple but I just wanted to post it:

Posted: **Sun Jul 16, 2006 4:23 pm**

I have zero chance of getting this. I'm on a wing and a prayer here.

Posted: **Mon Jul 17, 2006 1:35 pm**

I love the Laziest Men on Mars song that uses that game's intro. It's awesome.
