Name that Game

[Aldo]

The game it kind of looks like is Faxandu.

Well, you're certainly on the right console. Nintendo Power reviewed this game in 1991, so it's more on the tail end of NES-dom. Though somehow I keep forgetting that the NES didn't just instantly die when the SNES hit the market like it did in my world.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Yeah. They launched the top loader with the doggie-bone controllers. Which, I seriously need to look into picking-up off eBay.

 

[Kelthaz]

So, how about another screenshot?

 

[Yoda]

Sure:

A hint from another game:

 

[Saturn0660]

well crap, i know i've played that game.. I just can't remember.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Is it a breadbox?

 

[Kelthaz]

I know the answer due to the magic of google, but I'll wait a day to see if someone can guess it without cheating.

 

[Saturn0660]

You might as well post your answer.... cuz I just couldn't find it..

 

[Kelthaz]

The game is Sword Master. Sorry for googling, but we've been on this game for too long. Clever clue though, Yoda.

 

[Yoda]

My initial guess was Excerpt from ESRB press release explaining new "M" rating ca. 1994

Then I just returned the favor and went Google-fu on it. That's right... I'm just sitting here... with the answer.. waiting to hop in and end it at any moment!!! Mwahahahhahaha

Seriously though I think this is going to be a pretty tough one to get legit. Very interesting though, I'm considering hunting down a copy

 

[Itisnotlogical]

I think I saw this game once in a Cracked article. Gonna have to hunt that article down again...

 

[Kelthaz]

Oh, it's an absolutely terrible game. I think it's the worst game I own and I have E.T. and Pacman. But I've owned the game for as long as I can remember, so it has a special place in the nostalgic part of my heart.

 

[Yoda]

You could have Nostalgia, or you could get like 40 bucks on Ebay for it

 

[Aldo]

The damnedest thing is I know that game, but I just can't remember the name of it

 

[CorporalClegg]

Oh, it's an absolutely terrible game. I think it's the worst game I own and I have E.T. and Pacman.

Are you implying Pacman is a bad game?

 

[Kelthaz]

Yeah, I've been thinking about selling some of my old games. I like having a collection, but I would rather it not include some of the worst games ever. For $40 I could get a couple of better games to replace it.

It's a bad game on the Atari 2600. The system wasn't powerful enough to handle it and/or the programmers were idiots, and it was a porting disaster.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Oh. That's what you meant.

Sorry. Brain-fart on my part.

 

[Robert Maxwell]

Since Kelthaz has it, can we just have the name already so we can do another? I know what game it is, but someone who owns it should probably get the benefit here.

 

[Aldo]

I figured it out too, but I think it'd be pretty shitty to jump in and answer it when other's already have the answer, and legitimately too.
