I didn't say "US only"!

Hint: This game is not world famous, however it might be famous among us due to hatred. Well, maybe not outright hatred... maybe just...

EGM reviewed it.

I wouldn't mind owning it since I had fun renting it.

guyjin · 02/06/2008, 01:40 AM

kato & ken / JJ & Jeff?

Joe Redifer · 02/06/2008, 03:13 AM

No, it isn't that "popular".

Tatsujin · 02/06/2008, 03:15 AM

taito came also up to my mind while watching to it the first time

NecroPhile · 02/06/2008, 09:32 AM

Drop Off?

CrackTiger · 02/06/2008, 07:40 PM

Rastan Saga II.

Joe Redifer · 02/06/2008, 07:49 PM

Curious why you all think it's Taito.

Drop Off = No.

esteban · 02/06/2008, 09:41 PM

I, too, thought that "All Right" had smell of the "Taito font" !

OK, I'm going to guess this image is from the US release of VolfieV.

Joe Redifer · 02/06/2008, 09:44 PM

It's not Taito.

spenoza · 02/06/2008, 09:50 PM

It has the smell of "system font" or "too lazy to create graphics or interesting new fonts". Double Dungeons?

Joe Redifer · 02/06/2008, 10:35 PM

Nope, but one of the prominent letters in your guess is only 2 letters away from a prominent letter in the real game!

guyjin · 02/06/2008, 10:54 PM

Buster Brothers?

Joe Redifer · 02/06/2008, 11:02 PM

Hmmm... close, but only alphabetically.

ccovell · 02/07/2008, 09:11 AM

Ordyne?

Joe Redifer · 02/07/2008, 03:06 PM

Close... in a way.

NecroPhile · 02/07/2008, 05:54 PM

Bravoman?

nat · 02/07/2008, 05:57 PM

Damn, NecroPhile beat me to it. It's Bravoman.

Tatsujin · 02/07/2008, 07:14 PM

beraboman?

Joe Redifer · 02/07/2008, 07:31 PM

Yup!

Ceti Alpha · 02/07/2008, 08:06 PM

haha. That was just pure evil Joe...pure, unadulterated evil.

And I thought covell was bad. lol

Tatsujin · 02/07/2008, 09:45 PM

i might be wrong, but could it be that joes riddle gives more than just one solution, since namcot used this text in almost any of their games on the title, and sometimes even with black BG^^

Joe Redifer · 02/07/2008, 10:02 PM

Nope, since I stole the image from Bravoman, then that is the answer which MUST be guessed.

Tatsujin · 02/07/2008, 10:33 PM

yeah..that sounds plausible!

NecroPhile · 02/11/2008, 12:14 PM

Sorry for the delay folks. Here's an easy one; not one of those tiny, cropped to hell and back, mystery pics. It's nearly fullscreen, hardcore porn!!!

_Paul · 03/28/2008, 05:36 AM

An obscure Mah Jong game perhaps? Or maybe a Cosmic Fantasy.

Joe Redifer · 03/28/2008, 05:54 AM

Snatcher.

ccovell · 03/28/2008, 08:16 AM

Oh, Joe, you and your dirty double-entendres!

Is it one of those Shinsetsu Shiawase Usagi games?

guyjin · 03/28/2008, 09:31 AM

sailor moon?

NecroPhile · 03/28/2008, 10:57 AM

No to all the above guesses. Here's a couple o' hints: it's from an official HuCard game and it's the only nudity in the game (I think).

ccovell · 03/28/2008, 01:32 PM

Maison Ikkoku, perhaps?

failing that, Bubblegum Crash?

NecroPhile · 03/28/2008, 02:56 PM

Quote from: ccovell on 03/28/2008, 01:32 PMBubblegum Crash?

Indeed, that's Rinna in the shower.

ccovell · 03/28/2008, 09:46 PM

OK, here's my next one:

Oh, I should have looked at this thread early. I knew right off the bat where that pic was from.

Turbo D · 03/29/2008, 03:53 AM

motoroader?

_Paul · 03/29/2008, 04:54 AM

I think you want people to guess an F1 Circus game, but I bet that screen is from something like a shoot 'em up.

esteban · 03/29/2008, 11:05 AM

Exactly! Mr. C. is tricky like that.

My guess goes for Rastan Saga II, second loop, final boss battle.

Yeah, I probably should've disqualified you from guessing, yet I got lucky and you overlooked it anyway.

*edit* - Oops, forgot to take a stab at this one. Like Paul said, F1 is probably too obvious for sneaky Chris. Those look like the umbrellas in F1 Circus Special, so I'll guess that Nichibutsu recycled some tiles and put them in some mahjong game or maybe Terra Cresta II.

ccovell · 04/03/2008, 10:16 PM

Nope so far.

_Paul · 04/08/2008, 12:54 PM

Toy Shop Boys or maybe God Panic?

NecroPhile · 04/10/2008, 04:06 PM

After two weeks, I think it's time for a hint (unless Paul guessed correctly already).

ccovell · 04/10/2008, 10:03 PM

Well, I'm only being a little tricky. Big hint: It is from a racing game, no doubt about that.

awack · 04/11/2008, 08:17 AM

It does look like its from a f1 circus game so ill say f1 circus special.

NecroPhile · 04/11/2008, 10:00 AM

F1 Team Simulation Project F or World Circuit?

ccovell · 04/11/2008, 10:23 AM

Nope.

awack · 04/11/2008, 10:51 AM

championship rally or rally championship?

ccovell · 04/17/2008, 10:10 AM

Hahahahahaha... because I am feeling generous, I've expanded the view of the screenshot considerably.

/MysteryS.png

_Paul · 04/17/2008, 10:53 AM

It looks annoyingly familiar, but I still can't place it.

awack · 04/17/2008, 04:32 PM

That has to be from either f1 circus 91, f1 circus 92 or world circuit, if not, I'm going to buy this site from the owner and ban every one so that i will be the only person posting screenshots, that way ill be sure to get most of them right

ccovell · 04/17/2008, 10:32 PM

Better start saving up now, awack, 'cuz you're wrong!
