Name that GAME Thread

Alright, I don't want this thread to go into arrest, so you can have one more whack at it and hopefully breathe some life back into it.

Relive?

That's it.

Went down a rabbit hole to figure that out. Free game sponsored by a health company to raise awareness about CPR. Ooookay, wasn't expecting that.

New game:

Fortune/Boom Street.

It's called Boom Street somewhere? Huh

Correct!

It sure is. Regional naming conventions are something else.

Here's another relatively easy one:

No Man's Sky!

I can't figure out what in the hell that UI is supposed to represent.

I think it's pretty obvious, it represents feather 305322 to 200000.

Can't be - the graphics look too good. Journey, perhaps?

Alright, maybe not so easy. The UI is a little weird because the score hit a limit for upgrades, but kept counting for posterity.

On my phone, so I'll post another shot in just a moment.

Edit: This should explain the UI, at least.

Godus?

No, this is a good game.

Black and White?

I guess the perspective is similar...

But no, it's not Black & White.

One last shot:

This thread makes me feel like I have a bad gamer history yet I've been playing stuff since the commodore days lol

This is clearly a newer game, but I've never seen it.

Edit: To be clear, there are SO many games out anymore that this doesn't mean anything. I cheated and figured this out and don't recall ever reading anything about it, even though it was talked about a lil on the forums.

I think difficulty balance can be tough in guessing-game threads like this.

I've been in-it-to-win-it since Pong and I still think I've only gotten like 3 correct answers in this whole thread.

It reminds me of the really nice balance Jeopardy on TV has. For example, they can ask tough science questions in say Anatomy & Physiology, but the answers are going to be something that armchair science/med people will get, not something only MCAT / USMLE students would know.

So even though you could really turn the screws with niche/obscure game submissions, that doesn't necessarily mean you should, in service of fun guessing-game flow.

Modern indie games are probably ill-advised for this purpose, but I'm fine with it being a dud. More people should know about Epistory - Typing Chronicles (hello, video game title, you're always welcome around here). It's lovely.

The Name That Movie thread has carried on, despite Slumberland's repeated attempts to kill it.

Wow.. I actually have that game, played it, and I still didn't recognize it. Guess I didn't play enough for it to stick.

I'll bite and try one. This is one of the few sports games I truly loved.

Super Baseball 2020? I think that's the correct title.

It's actually Base Wars. I think it has a longer official title, but no one ever uses it.

You're up because SB2020 is a different game (Neo Geo and SNES).

If it's the NES version, it's Base Wars.
