+Atari_Warlord Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Swordquest Earthworld? Samuel Clemens = Mark Twain Mark Twain wrote parody lyrics for the song, The Battle Hymn of the Republic The first line is, "Mine eyes have seen the orgy of the launching of the Sword;" The song is basically about greed, which fits the series pretty well.

+Nathan Strum Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Not Raft Rider, nor Swordquest Earthworld. That's an impressive guess, but no. Figuring out Mark Twain is just the first step. Where to go after that will lead in a different direction. More clues, which may help you figure out the other clues (but maybe not the game itself): 78. http://www.frys.com/product/6515023 80. http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/12/tech/innovation/cassette-tape-50th-birthday/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Atari_Warlord Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 The Official Frogger from Starpath? Mark Twain wrote "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" and the game was released on cassette tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Both good guesses (one much more than the other), but no. Need more help? 100. I was going to post this clue, but it may have just been a myth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+McCallister Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Secret Quest? Steve Defrisco programmed it in secret, kind of like using a pseudonym. It is on Atari's Greatest Hits vol. 2, which I think is the source for the bibliography clue. It used a passcode feature, with the only other game being Survival Island, which is a Starpath tape. Finally, it is an rpg type game, so kind of like a myth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Not Secret Quest. The game isn't the myth, the clue is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+thegoldenband Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I was thinking that some sort of lisp-ish pun about "hit" and "myth" was going on. I assume protos aren't in play, otherwise I might've guessed Thwocker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Guess I'll have to give another hint. 9999. It wasn't an Atari game, twice. Then it was. Now it's not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mxyzptlk Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) I think it is Sir Lancelot. -Clemens started the book (King Arthur) in 1885, his 50th birthday, the 50th b-day of the cassette, and 50 games for the DS.

+Nathan Strum Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Not Codebreaker or Sir Lancelot. Looking at Mark Twain's bibliography is just a starting point. Maybe a detective would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
