Chuck D. Head Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Winner, winner, seagull dinner! Actually the pink clouds are good, but when they turn to grey; no bueno! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Atari_Warlord Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Here's one based entirely on the box art: 1. Is that Batman on the roof? Probably not. 2. Who stole Catwoman's weapon? 3. Red, Blonde .... what's the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Atari_Warlord Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 No, it does meet one of the clues but not the other two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateway Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 gotta be Ghost Manor Dracula runs along the top of the house on the second screen and later, on the top floor on the last screen. The boy wears a red hat, or switch to the girl with blonde hair. Not sure about the last clue as I don't see a whip in the game. The closest thing is when shooting a spear outside the porch to the house on the second screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Atari_Warlord Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Good guess but still not it. All the clues refer to the box art and not the game play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gateway Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Assuming I am right, here is the next one : 1. The more green lights, the better. 2. The author of this game goes by a different name now. 3. RE: Marketing: The publisher made game patches available up to nearly 18 months after this game's initial release. Interest in the game heated up twice as fast, though some consumers still were missing the point(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gateway Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Nope and nope. Assuming I am right, here is the next one : 1. The more green lights, the better. 2. The author of this game goes by a different name now. 3. RE: Marketing: The publisher made game patches available up to nearly 18 months after this game's initial release. Interest in the game "heated up twice as fast", though some consumers still were missing the point(s). Okay I went back to look at the new ammendments to see if I followed them correctly. The First and Second clues have to do with the Game's Manuel. I rephrased the Third clue. The part in quotations refers to the controls for the game, and the rest is still about how the game was advertised. Here is a Fourth clue: 4. What did one ocean say to the other ocean?

Gateway Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Nope, not Dolphin. The answer to the riddle in clue #4 has to do with the gameplay, not necessarily the theme. Edited August 12, 2012 by Gateway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gateway Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Great Job, thegoldenband! You are correct! Assuming I am right, here is the next one : 1. The more green lights, the better. 2. The author of this game goes by a different name now. 3. RE: Marketing: The publisher made game patches available up to nearly 18 months after this game's initial release. Interest in the game "heated up twice as fast", though some consumers still were missing the point(s). Okay I went back to look at the new ammendments to see if I followed them correctly. The First and Second clues have to do with the Game's Manuel. I rephrased the Third clue. The part in quotations refers to the controls for the game, and the rest is still about how the game was advertised. Here is a Fourth clue: 4. What did one ocean say to the other ocean? Clue #1 is in the manual, and refers to your cockpit screen with the 6 green squares on top that change to red when you are hit by enemy fire. Clue #2 refers to programmer Manuel Rotsckar, who went by Manuel Polik when this game was released. I also alluded to this with my follow -up post here: "The First and Second clues have to do with the Game's Manuel." Clue #3 refers to the Elite Squadron patches that were awarded to the first 50 players who submitted scores higher than 3500 points. The game was released near the end of 2003 and the 50th winner was awarded in January 2005, IIRC. Clue #4: What did one ocean say to the other ocean? The answer I was looking for is: "Nothing. It just waved". The gameplay has WAVE 1, WAVE 2, etc. Again, good job, thegoldenband! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Thanks, Gateway! Clue #2 refers to programmer Manuel Rotsckar, who went by Manuel Polik when this game was released. I also alluded to this with my follow -up post here: "The First and Second clues have to do with the Game's Manuel." Yes, that was a good one. I originally thought it was a typo, and was going to post a picture of the guy from Fawlty Towers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 1) Blue and floaty? I thought they were white and hungry. 2) Control can make or break a game...if you know what I mean. 3) Under the right circumstances, this game can reveal if you're a jerk.
