Animan Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 An idea I had for a contest. Basically, I give you three things (Image, Sound, Video, Writing, Etc.) that have a clue somewhere in them, and you have to figure out what 2600 game the clues a referring to. The clue could be in the title, something in the thing, or something more cryptic. The contest ends until someone figures it out, where I then pick a new game with new clues. This one shouldn't be too hard, but it won't be a cakewalk. The prize is... Nothing, but bragging rights. Your three clues... 1. Clue 1 (The word that it shouted before "stop them, you must stop them!) 2. Clue 2 3. Clue 3 Now, what game are these three clue's referring too. Hopefully this isn't too hard (or easy).

BDW Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I wasnt able to listen to the entire first clue without crapping myself..... What is that from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animan Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 I wasnt able to listen to the entire first clue without crapping myself..... What is that from? It was an old record that Data Age made to advertise it's initial line up of games (except Sssnake). It was a freebie at certain game stores. It's a collectible nowadays. Ironically, the record, in my opinion, is better than the actual games (besides L5 and Bugs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, thanks for responding Sorry, I seem to find Bugs as a very good game. It's one of those games that takes time to get used too. Not a perfect game, but way better than the other crap Data Age made (Sssnake, Airlock, etc.) Anyway, were getting off topic. KEEP GUESSING PEOPLE!

ericwierson Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Centipede or Millipede. It has bugs. It has a lazer (ray of light). Not sure what the third clue means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's by the same company, though. (Oh gee...oops!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Random Terrain Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Now that I think about it, it could also be Krull or maybe Raiders of the Lost Ark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempy Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I think it's Yar's Revenge too; but if it's not - Galaxian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animan Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 My first guess is BurgerTime. (hot dogs, Bally Midway, Easter eggs) No. Maybe i should give honorable mention for connecting the three clues to another game. I should be more careful with these clues...
