I just remember her from the '80's.

I leave the floor open to whoever wants to. ;)

I've seen Santa & the Martians (whatever it was called), but there's no way I would have known who she was!

Volfied!

Well done that man.

Digital Angel!
Avenger!
Lemonade Stand!

I have no clue

. Why is it that I can't think of more than 5 titles when I'm trying to solve these? Yet, when I'm in other threads, tons of titles are percolating my grey cells?

Nazi NecroPhile · 08/10/2007, 04:08 PM

Golden Axe?

ParanoiaDragon · 08/10/2007, 04:09 PM

Hmm, Golden Axe is a great guess, I'm betting on that one!

ccovell · 08/10/2007, 05:48 PM

Yup, Golden Axe it is. I guess that was a bit too easy.

Nazi NecroPhile · 08/10/2007, 06:06 PM

Must've been, since this slack-jawed yokel fingered it out. Do you (or anyone else) have a new enigma that needs deciphering?

Bonanza Brothers

[edit:] So, Sunteam_Paul, am I correct on this one?
(I decided to be courteous and wait this time...)

hahaha, that was a good one

Screw it - time's up! I'm pretty sure that you're right anyway.

td741 · 08/14/2007, 03:27 PM

Ultra Box?

esteban · 08/14/2007, 03:48 PM

Vistar 64?

Nazi NecroPhile · 08/14/2007, 03:53 PM

Methinks you're correct, td741. If not, Kato & Ken Chan and Toilet Kids are the only titles that I can think of that are synonymous with poop.

Oop sorry I assumed it was obvious you were correct!

Joe Redifer · 08/14/2007, 07:47 PM

Is there a PC Engine game that has to do with poop? Toilet Kids?

ccovell · 08/15/2007, 04:57 AM

Yes, it was Ultra Box!

td741 · 08/15/2007, 10:36 AM

Hopefully this one is challenging but not too cryptic.

td741 · 08/15/2007, 10:55 AM

Nope

Nazi NecroPhile · 08/15/2007, 11:21 AM

Uh... Hellfire S - The Another Story? (Ha-ha, gotta love the second title

)

Well, some peeps think Ebay is evil and straight outta hell anyway.

td741 · 08/15/2007, 11:29 AM

Err... no...

ccovell · 08/15/2007, 12:10 PM

Takin' it to the hoop?

td741 · 08/15/2007, 12:15 PM

*Ding* *Ding*... Yes...

Using the "eBay" was referencing their commercials: "You can find *IT* on eBay." ;)

Turbo D · 08/15/2007, 12:19 PM

haha, that was a good one

Hhahhahahhahahaaa. That's great.

Nazi NecroPhile · 08/15/2007, 01:07 PM

Nice one indeed.

ccovell · 08/16/2007, 05:36 AM

I didn't get the ebay reference (been away for too long), but I did guess that it was a person taking something to a hoop/ring of fire, so it was easy enough. For my next trick...:

Joe Redifer · 08/16/2007, 05:58 AM

Kato & Ken?

Cotton?

awack · 08/16/2007, 07:31 AM

Is it zipang?

ccovell · 08/16/2007, 07:43 AM

Yup, "Zip" - "Pang". Zipang it is!

Joe Redifer · 08/16/2007, 10:03 PM

Curious, what is a "pang"?

ccovell · 08/16/2007, 11:09 PM

Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1)
pang [pang]
–noun 1. a sudden feeling of mental or emotional distress or longing: a pang of remorse; a pang of desire.
2. a sudden, brief, sharp pain or physical sensation; spasm: hunger pangs.

[Origin: 1495–1505; orig. uncert.]

—Synonyms 1, 2. twinge, ache, throb, prick, stab.

Meaning 2 is what I was aiming at -- the sharp pain you get when doing up your zipper too fast.

Joe Redifer · 08/17/2007, 12:45 AM

Ah, I thought it was a Chinese word. Looks Asian.

Very informative, thanks! (No really, I was curious too! What exactly does the Zip part mean in that game?)

Turbo D · 08/17/2007, 01:19 AM

I thought maybe he zipped his wang, haha.

ccovell · 08/17/2007, 02:29 AM

Jeez, do I have to do all the legwork for you?

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipang

QuoteThe English word for Japan came to the West from early trade routes. The early Mandarin Chinese or possibly Wu Chinese word for Japan was recorded by Marco Polo as Cipangu. The modern Shanghainese (a Wu Chinese dialect 呉語) pronunciation of characters 日本 (Japan) is still Zeppen [zəʔpən]. The Malay word for Japan, Jepang (modern spelling Jepun), was borrowed from a Chinese language, and this Malay word was encountered by Portuguese traders in Malacca in the 16th century. It is thought the Portuguese traders were the first to bring the word to Europe. It was first recorded in English in 1577 spelled Giapan.
...
The modern Shanghainese pronunciation of Japan is Zeppen [zəʔpən]. In modern Japanese, Cipangu is transliterated as ジパング which in turn can be transliterated into English as Jipangu, Zipangu, Jipang, or Zipang. Jipangu (ジパング) as an obfuscated name for Japan has recently come into vogue for Japanese films, anime, video games, etc.

Joe Redifer · 08/17/2007, 04:50 AM

That's from Wikipedia, so none of it can be believed. At least that's the trend on the internet, anyway.

Nazi NecroPhile · 08/17/2007, 10:37 AM

Pretty good one, Chris. Did he get the beans above the frank?

@ Joe - Blah, blah, blah. Quit worrying about a pang in your wang and post a new pic already.

Joe Redifer · 08/17/2007, 08:09 PM

I was joking by giving the same response everyone else on the internet does when someone links to Wikipedia as a source!

Anyway it's not my turn.

awack · 08/17/2007, 11:26 PM

This is another super difficult one from me, it's going to go on for days before anyone gets it.

Turbo D · 08/17/2007, 11:28 PM

dragon spirit

MrFulci · 08/17/2007, 11:32 PM

Though not my turn, I've been sitting on this one for a while:

/screenshotguess.jpg

awack · 08/17/2007, 11:34 PM

No, its not dragon spirit.

MrFulci · 08/17/2007, 11:36 PM

Emerald Dragon

awack · 08/17/2007, 11:37 PM

yep, emerald dragon,
