(3 points, but should really be 4! :lol:)

 

A classic if there ever were one. Written by none other than our own Rick Koenig, a BSR. How's that for an Intellivision angle! :)

Fun trivial fact: When I was a kid, I thought the Electronic Arts logo looked so cool on my C=64 screen. However, since I never owned any boxed games (*ahem* we used to get the games off of german BBS's and trade them at school), I've only ever saw it in its computer-rendered form, like this:

To me it looked very high-tech, like a futuristic "E.O.A." I knew that the "E" and "A" were obviously for "Electronic Arts," but for the life of me couldn't figure out what that "O" was for! :lol: I really thought hard about it, trying to figure out what the "real" name of the company was.

 

"Electronic Of Arts"? ...Nah, that makes no sense.

"Electronic Online Arts"? ...Silly!

"Electronic Open Arts"? ...Hmm, no.

"Electr-Onic-Arts"? ...What the heck?

 

So then I started thinking, it may be a "C" instead of an "O," and tried again:

 

"Electronic Commercial Arts"? ...Maybe...

"Electronic Computer Arts"? ...That must be it!

"Electronic Cybernetic Arts"? ...Now we're talking!

 

It wasn't until much, much later, during the late 1990s, when I got back into computers, when I saw an ad or a poster of the company and realized that the logo was a stylized picture of a cube, a sphere, and a pyramid. DOH! :dunce:

 

I still like "Electronic Cybernetic Arts" better. I wonder if I should write to them. :):lol:

 

 

P.S. Heck yeah! I was sort of nerdy back then. :P

Rules are similar to the Song Game, but here we have to post 1) a game name, 2) its brand and 3) the score as follows:

for those who find a matching word of the game name = 3 points

for those who find a matching word of the game brand = 1 point

 

After exactly one month from now there will be the winner

 

 

 

Only five days left!
