Name that Game

[B.J.]

Found it, but I ain't telling. (Boardgamegeek makes it way too easy.)

 

[Davros]

I have to say the computer version was a disappointment. It had one of the dumbest AIs I ever saw.

 

[Davros]

Since nobody named it I'll give ya another one.

Dude, enough with the board games. This topic is clearly about video games and going out of your way to post obscure table top games that about 10 people in this world have played isn't exactly making this game fun for anyone but you.

No place in the title or first post restricts this to only video games. If you want to exclude old school gamers from these threads in the future put the word video in the title.

Yes, you play board games. You're an actual gamer. You're cooler than us. We good? Okay.

Now post something other people have a chance in hell at figuring out.

I apologize, I should have said old school gamer.

B.J. claims to have gotten the first one already. he just said they were not telling.
Games and Puzzles magazine [Dec 1973] called it "the greatest indoor board game invented this century"

The second one is from the last couple of years and recently had an expansion pack. Shards of the Throne iirc. It's like a boardgame version of Master Of Orion.

Diplomacy is the first one! (I'm quite sure)

The second one looks like Twilight Imperium?

(I've never even played either, but how are those obscure...?)

Right on both counts. I strongly recommend both, If I wanted to go obscure, I could go really obscure.

 

[AdAstra]

Yay

I'm not able to post anything for the moment or in the coming 36h or so, so I'll let someone else do the honours. B.J.?

 

[B.J.]

Okay, here goes:

Had to find a screenshot that wouldn't completely give it away to those who haven't played it.

 

[Robert Maxwell]

The visual style makes me think it's Psychonauts. Is it?

 

[B.J.]

Nope!

 

[AdAstra]

Uhhhh....

Wild, wild guess... American McGee's Alice?

(plans changed, I'm here, haha)

 

[B.J.]

Nope!

 

[Yoda]

Epic Mickey?

 

[OdoWanKenobi]

Max Payne 2?

Probably wrong. Been a while since I played it but, I remember a funhouse level.

 

[B.J.]

Epic Mickey?

Yes! I love the fact that you're fighting a twisted version of the clock tower from the "It's a Small World" ride!

Obviously some Hax. It's Abobo swimming in Mario's pool.
