PC Classics (2nd Edition)
Today's Theme: PC Classics (2nd Edition)
Compeltely forgot to put this out yesterday. But maybe with a weekend version, some people who wouldn't normally play will get a shot. Today's has some old PC classics on it- some kindof easy, others a bit harder. Like Wednesday, I've actually not played a majority of the games but I do know of all of them. So another hodgepodge, just like the last one, only these are PC. FYI: Standings and game list have not been updated after Wednesday but they will be after today's game. Status: Complete Game Rank: GSB Only Bronze 1. Bronze 2. Bronze 3. Silver 1. Silver 2. Gold. Correct Answers B1. Tomb Raider 2 (Katon) B2. Virtual Pool (MattJones4Heisman) B3. Master of Orion (Katon) S1. Alone in the Dark (Calis) S2. Silent Hunter (Raven Hawk) G. Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers (TazFTW) SI

Been too long, and I'm not for sure if it's the original, but it sure looks like it. |

Well, bronze 1 is a Lara Croft game, but which? Since it is "classics", I'll go with the original "Tomb Raider".

Dang, yeah- should have thought of that. But again, like Mega Man X yesterday, I thought Tomb Raider would be too easy so it's not the original.

Yes, you can guess once per day. And, yes, that's correct so the PC Classics (2nd Edition) category is done. Last week was a system week so this week is a theme week. We've got an NES theme later today or tomorrow and a PSX theme for Wednesday/Thursday. Then, time to test out a new game Friday and see how that goes. Standings have been updated. SI

NES Baseball
Today's Theme: NES Baseball
Back when sports games weren't just about putting out a new one every year and putting a fresh coat of paint on them, there were lots of unique choices for baseball games. Here's just a small sampling of some of the more popular and unique ones for the NES. Bronze 1 was a favorite of mine, both silvers are quite good tho one more for it's uniqueness since it was kindof unbalanced, and I thought the gold was kindof fun. There's a freebie if anyone new wants to join. Again, Friday we have a new game that I'll explain when we get there. Tomorrow's theme is PSX based. Status: Complete Game Rank: GSB and Freebies Freebie 1. Bronze 1. Bronze 2. Bronze 3. Silver 1. Silver 2. Gold. Correct Answers F1. Baseball (BillyNYC) B1. R.B.I. Baseball (j51) B2. Tecmo Baseball (GoldenEagle) B3. Bases Loaded (Raven Hawk) S1. Base Wars (TazFTW) S2. Baseball Simulator 1.000 (NevStar) G. Little League Baseballl, Championship Series (Coffee Warlord) SI

Wow. That was quick. I remember renting that game one time when I was sick. Couldn't hit in it to save my life. The one time I was winning, it was 1-0 through about 6 innings and there was a freak power blink and my game died

They had a great pitcher but I can't remember his name. That was Canada's weakness. They had a decent workhorse type to start, a junkballer, and a straight pitch fastballer. If the game went long and the SP got tired, things were going to get ugly. SI

The overwhelming majority of "old school" game critics seem to think that Baseball Sim 1.000 was the best overall package for an NES baseball game. Never played it much, myself.

Heh, now that Base Wars has been called out, I gotta say that was the most *fun* I had with an NES baseball game. When we were kids, we had great fun, but it really game into its own in college. Busted that game out and had and absolute BLAST. |

Freebie 1 is not Baseball Stars but the others are correct. That said, it's a new day so you can get a new guess if you want in on the game

Billy's in the game. Freebie 1 is just plain old Baseball by Nintendo. Bronze 1 is still on the board.

Playstation RPGs
Today's Theme: Playstation RPGs
Definitely one of the genres that had a good showing on the original Playstation was the RPG. There lots of quality ones and they weren't just all by Squaresoft. Here's a few notable ones for the discerning eye. A couple of FMVs and some regular gameplay. Remember to name the Playstation version of the game. Status: Incomplete Game Rank: GSB Only Bronze 1. Bronze 2. Bronze 3. Silver 1. Silver 2. Gold. Correct Answers B1. Chrono Cross (Coffee Warlord) B2. Grandia (Coffee Warlord) B3. S1. Xenogears (NevStar) S2. Vagrant Story (NevStar) G. Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure (TazFTW) SI

All three are correct. Anyone else might want to get in a guess in the next few minutes since guesses reset at midnight (CT) and then you can get another one. And, TazFTW, you scare me.

Both correct. Anyone got a stab at the FMV in Bronze 3? A little later today, I'll detail the game for tomorrow.

Still one on the board from today but it's time to talk about tomorrow's game. It's the lamely named "Fuzzy Friday".
It's similar to the normal game in that I'll take a shot from a game and people will guess. The difference is that I'll start with a really small part of the screen. Then, a little bit later, expand out to a larger one, then a larger one, etc, until it's guessed. Everyone gets 1 guess per picture (ie you can guess after the small one then after the next one then after the larger one, etc). I think I'm going to make this worth 7 points since it should be worth more than a normal gold but not a ton. We'll see how this works out. SI

Fuzzy Friday
Time to try out a new game. As I said in the above post, I'll post a small portion of a screenshot and people can guess. Then I'll show a larger shot, more guesses. Larger, more guesses, etc until it's guessed. Here we go: Image 1: SI

Had to rename the pics since you probably could have just looked at the future pics to get the name. No answer yet so here's image 2. I'm worried this could be a dead giveaway but maybe not:
