The Game Screenshot Challenge

[Prime Time]

I'm going to repost this. I'm afraid I can't remember who had got what right, so we're going to have to start with a clean slate. Unfair? Most certainly.... but there's not a lot we can do about it. Best get your answers in quick, if you got it first time around.

1)
2) Duke Nukem 3D (SirSam)
3)
4) Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games (The Dude)
5) Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 (Gooner)
6) Streets of Rage (Gooner)
7) TIE Fighter (The Dude)
8)
9) Road Rash (The Dude)

[SirSam]

2) Duke Nukem 3D
7) Star Wars X-Wing or Star Wars Tie Fighter
8) Civilisation

[Prime Time]

2) is right
8) is wrong

and you aren't allowed to guess the way you did in 7)!

[The Dude]

7 is Tie fighter

[Gooner]

6 is Streets of Rage.... 2?

[Prime Time]

No but as I think you know you're pretty damn close. I wonder if this'll get stolen. They usually do!

[SirSam]

Is 7) Road Rash

[Prime Time]

Want to double check your number on that one?

[SirSam]

Sorry is 6 Road Rash?

[Prime Time]

No. Not the number I thought you were going to say.

[SirSam]

Is 5 Road Rash?
If I went any others I'd just be guessing blindly, I meant 6 originally, kind of looks like a poster outside the pub & shop in the kind of lobby area for the game.

[Prime Time]

No, it's not.

As a clue about 5), it's the second most modern game on the board.

[Gooner]

6 is Streets of Rage then?

[SirSam]

Is 4 Banjo Kazooie?

[Prime Time]

Gooner, 6) is right.

Sam, 4) is not. I think it's more recent than that.

[The Dude]

Somebody got 4 before but I can't remember what he said it was... damn!

[Gooner]

Thinking about it now, it looks like Super Smash Bros Melee for 4?

[Prime Time]

Nope, reasonably close though.

[The Dude]

4 is mario sonic Olympics?!

If I get this right I've basically cheated...

[Prime Time]

Five left, two pretty expert level and the rest all very gettable.

[Gooner]

5... Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2?

[Prime Time]

Right, four left.

[The Dude]

9 is Road Rash then? It looks like a racing game of some kind.

[Prime Time]

That leaves the one easier one, and the tough challenging ones left.

[Gooner]

Not confident, but 1 maybe the original Metal Gear?

[Prime Time]

Didn't we have that guess before the reset?!

[The Dude]

Yes. It was me. I nearly said I didn't think it was the right answer.

Is 3. Fire Pro Wrestling?

[Prime Time]

Ah yes, that's right, I remember now.

1) is the most gettable of the ones that are left, I'd say.

And no, but the right ballpark for 3).

[Gooner]

I missed this round before the reset! haha

[Prime Time]

Oh yeah, you were away weren't you? It clearly looks like it if you two came up with it independently of each other.

OK, so one was an NES game, 3) was for the mega drive/genesis, and 8) was PC and people from a certain part of the world can probably get clues if they look very closely at the figures.

[Gooner]

Afraid so, went away on holiday and came back to no LOP Forums!

Let's see.... Nope, I got nothing.

[The Dude]

Is 8. Risk??

That's just a random guess.

[Prime Time]

Nope. Going to repeat this, just in case it's been missed the first time.

people from a certain part of the world can probably get clues if they look very closely at the figures.

Though looking at the thread so far, I don't think we've had a single guess from the right part of the world. You'd have to know your history, then.

[Gooner]

3. is killing me. It's a wrestling game, I know that, but can't put my finger on the name.

[Prime Time]

1) is part of a franchise that spans many different media forms.

3) is a wrestling game and shares it's name with some WCW PPVs

8) is a pretty specialised strategy game that takes it's name from a famous historical figure.

[SirSam]

Number 8, is it a really old game I think I remember one of my mates playing called Napoleon? From the late 90s.

[Prime Time]

No but that's probably the best guess so far. There are other words in the title, not just the guy's name.

[Gooner]

No idea on a title, but is 8 related to Genghis Khan? There's a certain Asian feel from the characters in the screen shot

[Prime Time]

I'll stop you there just to keep you from going down the wrong path - completely the wrong part of the world.

I'm away next week and so will reveal the remaining answers tomorrow, so as not to hold it up. So far Dude has the lead.

[Prime Time]

No more guesses so as promised here's the reveal.

The easier one is 1) which is Teenage Mutant Hero/Ninja Turtles on the NES.

3) is Wrestle War.

And 8) is Robert E. Lee Civil War Generals. If you look at the figures you can see a neat union army in blue and a less organised Rebel army in grey.


Dude is up I believe.
