Chuck D. Head Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 To put each clue in some kind of context: 1 - Don't forget to drink your ovaltine - Refers to the theme / purpose of the game 2 - Going once, going twice, sold! - Refers to the name of the game 3 - King me! - Refers to a graphical element of the game, cart, packaging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Atari_Warlord Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I'm not sure how this would fit the first clue, but when I put Highest Bidder in a scrabble word finder one of the words is Bridge and there is a King on the packaging.

Chuck D. Head Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Look at you Waggie, good use of research tools, but, no on Bridge. And Auctionauts actually sounds more interesting.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer4x4 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Video Checkers! 1 - Don't forget to drink your ovaltine - Refers to the theme / purpose of the game got me, I can't make up one for that clue 2 - Going once, going twice, sold! - Refers to the name of the game There is a song "Sold" about a girl at an auction "Checker" out (check her out...) 3 - King me! - Refers to a graphical element of the game, cart, packaging Creepy dude with a crown on the box.

+Nathan Strum Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I was going to guess that, but thought it was too obvious (and I still do...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorTat-G Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Codebreaker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck D. Head Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Not Video Checkers or Codebreaker. (that's funny, it seems like almost every game I think maybe it is Codebreaker). OK, maybe I overdid it this time. I will start refining things a bit; 1 - Don't forget to drink your ovaltine - Refers to the theme / purpose of the game - Just follow the dialogue, guys, you should have this movie burned into your brain by now. 2 - Going once, going twice, sold! - Refers to the name of the game - 3 - King me! - Refers to a graphical element of the game, cart, packaging - Reminicent of a touchdown in Knoxville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mxyzptlk Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Reindeer Rescue?, last of the Christmas based games that I can think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck D. Head Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Nope. The game is not Christmas themed in any way. Think of the next line of dialogue after "don't forget to drink your Ovaltine" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Doesn't ring a bell. If it's from A Christmas Story, I've never seen it. But I'll guess Skeet Shoot, since I know it involves BB guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateway Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Mean Santa ? It looks like the kid is "presenting" the gift to Santa like to royalty (albeit at gunpoint, LOL) EDIT: I see Christmas games are out, but I will post it anyway, because the artwork for the game is awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Mouse Trap? (The next line in A Christmas Story is "A crummy commercial? Son of a bitch!" You change into a dog in Mouse Trap and every dog, after all, is a son of a bitch. "King me", well, Checkers was a famous dog. And the mouse on the cover of Mouse Trap looks like an auctioneer, or a conductor, though you said it was a title clue...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck D. Head Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Not Mouse Trap, Mean Santa, or Skeet Shoot. To hone in on the clue answered by thegoldenband: 1 - Don't forget to drink your ovaltine - Refers to the theme / purpose of the game - "A Crummy Commercial?" 2 - Going once, going twice, sold! - Refers to the name of the game - 3 - King me! - Refers to a graphical element of the game, cart, packaging - A pattern reminiscent of a touchdown in Knoxville, TN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Cookie Monster Munch? I dunno, I figured the first clue was "A crummy comercial" , but had no clue how that would relate to any games gameplay though. Cookies have crumbs though, so there ya go. I figured touchdown in TN might refer to a tornado. I think maybe that's not right thought. Stumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+thegoldenband Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Chase the Chuckwagon almost works, since it's a crummy commercial (of a game) and used to be the name of GameGavel (an auction site). I can't figure out the tornado/"king me" element, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't figure out the tornado/"king me" element, though. Chase the Chuckwagon is correct! 1 - Don't forget to drink your ovaltine - Refers to the theme / purpose of the game - a crummy commercial? - The game is basically a commercial for dogfood 2 - Going once, going twice, sold! - Refers to the name of the game - The original name of Gamegavel was Chase the Chuckwagon 3 - King me! - Refers to a graphical element of the game, cart, packaging - Pattern reminiscent of a touchdown in Knoxville TN - The endzones of the Tennessee Volunteers stadium are painted in a checkerboard pattern. This pattern is seen on the Chuckwagon in the game, box and cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
