Guess the Game!

[Isaac Sauvage]

Yeah, we should have all gotten it with that first picture

I thought it might be fun to get you thinking about themes as a little variation on the usual image-matching approach. A mermaid-like woman rising from the sea will get you halfway to Atlantis, or at least that was my thinking back in 1994.

Anyway, I thought the sample above might have been from Earthshaker, Cyclone or Whirlwind, but I guess not. I'm guessing the game's a bit earlier than that.

XXX & X

XXX & X

Okay, since you say it's later than all those tables,
then how about Bally/Williams 90's?

 

[Popotte]

Funhouse - Williams

 

[Popotte]

A little rarer...

Hello @Pop Bumper Pete, why XXX & X
I know "Feel the power" is a reference to previous Whirlwind.

Big Bang Bar (Capcom, 1996).

Here is next pic...

 

[Popotte]

Pinbot - Williams

 

[Isaac Sauvage]

As much as a pinball dunce as I am, I instantly knew that was "BBB," above.

But riddle me this-- "Funhouse" is one of the ones I looked at and previously rejected, so--

WHERE oh WHERE on the PF are you seeing the "Kansas" section Pete shared?

 

[Popotte]

Maybe one of my future releases...

Fortunately for me, I never played Funhouse when stripped down to the bare PF. Must be nice, huh?

I don't know how you wild ones could possibly identify semi-hidden art like that, but I salute your ability to do so!

Thanks for letting me play the last round.

Hello @Pop Bumper Pete, why XXX & X

Isaac had nominated Earthshaker, Wrong (X), Cyclone, Wrong (X), Whirlwind, Wrong (X), and then suggested it was a game older than those, Wrong (X)

I told you the first time that I'd ruled out the first three games.

Is Straya-Anglais not the same as Americaine? Do I need to repeat something 3x if necessary, Pete?

In that case, thanks, guv!

 

[Pop Bumper Pete]

In that case, thanks, guv!

As if I could type with a Peruvian accent

Oh god, that would be disastrously hilarious.

Please proceed, mssr.

 

[Isaac Sauvage]

Oh c'mon Pete, let's get to whatever the hell's bothering you.

Honestly-- you were right and I was wrong about the "Pacdude" situation. Let's just say it.

I was wrong, and you were right.

 

[Pop Bumper Pete]

Nothing is bothering me

This is a great thread, it has people engaged. What more could I want?

Popotte asked a question. I have noticed before that humor does not translate all the time, so I was explaining my 'XXX & X'

 

[StevOz]

Here's me just thinking the xxxx's were a term of affection?

Haha, there we go!

Oh... Pete!

Maybe one of my future releases...

At first I thought it was Wild Fyre, but Popotte recreating a Solid State, and a Stern? No
