Hint please.

Hmm, Glenn, do you want to submit a suitable hint?

How about which system it's for? It looks like something early-80s, but doesn't have any of the earmarks of any particular system. I want to say it looks like Intellivision though I think it had blockier sprites than that.

Hmm, you might be onto something there...

I would say, but I don't want to spoil the game. I will give a suitable hint, however. You have finally hit an era where I was playing video games.

You could also play, Spud, even if you don't get any more besides this one you have triumphed over all those other guys

Well then. Sharp Shot for Intellivision. Circa 1982.

Heh, actually that is incorrect.

I know the answer to this one. I don't know if I can hang with you guys over the long run, but I'll throw my hat in if that's okay.

Looks like Sharp Shot to me:

never played sharp shot, and i logged many hours playing the aforepictured game. go ahead jimt-

ps that screenshot makes it look like they did re-use some of the graphics though!

I own both games. It is not Sharp Shot. It looks similar, yes.

Sharp Shot does not have a scrolling screen, and our mystery game does.

Go ahead and throw your hat in the ring, Jim. Put this one out of it's misery.

ROCK!

Ok then. How about Dungeons And Dragons, on the Intellivision system?

They used the same graphics as Sharp Shot! Cutting corners on a licensed game....I shouldn't be surprised.

JimT is correct - technically it's ADVANCED DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS but you know, close enough! Actually this game was not cutting corners at all - it's a lot more complex than most or possibly any other Intellivision game of the time. See this site:
http://www.intellivisionlives.com/blues ... tml#cloudy
" Because of its complexity, this was the first cartridge to go over the 4K size limit; it was allocated a whopping 6K."

Little bit of personal history relating to this - back in the early 1980s, I was about 10, and my dad worked for TRW, fixing bank mainframes, cash registers, ATMs, and the like. For some reason his office was also a distributor for Intellivision and cartridges, and so we were able to get a system and games very cheaply and therefore begin my fascination with video games. No idea why his office had them but I was very pleased! The system still works, 25 years later, and my niece and nephew play it with me when I visit my family. Cool!
Anyway, your turn JimT.

K. This was one of my favorites.

Can I state my guess? I know the answer.

Oh I see, anyone can enter.

Peter Packrat!

Huzzah! That is correct. Man, I played the hell out of this game at Stop 'N Play in Plymouth, NH. Never got very good at it though.

Fluffy's up, right?

That is correct.

I was initially thinking that a maximum of 10 players was a good idea, but I changed that. If you can guess it? You're in. First to 10 points, wins, and a new round is started.

ROCK!

Oh drat! I actually knew that one! Alas, I spaced out on checking this thread. That may have been my last chance to correctly guess another game... I'm pretty pathetic as a games nerd. -M
