PC Engine Screen-shot quiz

NecroPhile · 04/24/2008, 03:31 PM

Since it's been four weeks and I'm still retarded, can I have another hint, pretty please with a cherry on top?

ccovell · 04/24/2008, 09:39 PM

Gah, here's the complete screenshot! No cropping at all. This'll make it super-easy, but hey...

/MysteryS.png

Joe Redifer · 04/24/2008, 10:11 PM

What game has a resolution of 288 pixels high? No standard TV can support that unless it interlaces. And no PCE game interlaces, to my knowledge. Also, are the graphics really that blocky?

EDIT: That shot is no different than the previous one you posted.

EDIT 2: OK you fixed your post.

Reload your browser. The image is 256x224, but your browser has the size of the previous picture cached.

Joe Redifer · 04/25/2008, 01:30 AM

No, you had a different image up first. It was the same image of your previous post. Both MysteryS.png and MysteryS-1.png are the same exact file. I then reloaded and the image changed and so did the one for your previous post. There would be no reason for my browser to cache an image it's never seen unless you just change the picture and never the URL (which is what you did).

ccovell · 04/25/2008, 06:48 AM

I never named anything MysteryS-1.png. Joe, give it up.

On topic, now. Nope, it's not Bari Bari Densetsu.

NecroPhile · 04/25/2008, 10:43 AM

Motoroader MC or Racing Spirits?

ccovell · 04/25/2008, 10:54 AM

Racing Spirits it is! I guess noone's ever pressed RUN past the title screen on this one.

/MysteryS.png ---> /MysterySa.png

Also the fact that the game is usually seen in 1st-person perspective was the intentional red herring for this one.

Sinistron · 04/25/2008, 10:56 AM

gawddamn I have this game too.

Same here (it's my lone loose title), yet I've never played it 'cause it looked lame. I don't have anything ready to go, so my turn's up for grabs if anyone wants it.

Joe Redifer · 04/25/2008, 04:03 PM

You're right, it was my OS adding the "-1" to the file as I dragged them to the desktop. I opened them both up in PS to see what you "uncropped" from your previous post at the top of the page (which has the exact same image). No amount of refreshing can make the two images different.

kid_rondeau · 04/25/2008, 05:47 PM

Because I'm a chump sometimes, I just wanted to be the 20000th person to view this thread.

NecroPhile · 04/30/2008, 01:18 PM

Since nobody took me up on my magnanimous offer, here's a nail biter for all y'all:

PC Genjin

NecroPhile · 04/30/2008, 05:25 PM

Incorrect, good sir.

awack · 05/01/2008, 04:20 AM

Godzilla?

NecroPhile · 05/01/2008, 09:58 AM

We have a winner! That's from Battra's level, if anybody really cares.

awack · 05/02/2008, 12:48 PM

OK. here is about 60% of a screenshot.

guyjin · 05/02/2008, 02:37 PM

ghost house!

Tokimeki Memorial?

awack · 05/03/2008, 05:02 AM

Wow, i took this shot further in the game than any screenshot Ive seen floating around the net, i also didn't think any one would recognize that character,Tokimeki Memorial it is...very good.

The art and graphic style combined with the size of the screenshot is the give away.

Joe Redifer · 05/03/2008, 07:34 PM

Dude almost looks like he has the nose of a pig. What a fantastic art style!

nat · 05/03/2008, 07:39 PM

The background art in that image is really, really nice. I need to pick up a copy of this game if for no other reason than to look at the artwork....

Agreed; I need to give my copy a spin for the same reason. As an added bonus, I'll get to use the ol' mouse again.

CrackTiger · 05/04/2008, 01:51 PM

I've never even played Tokimeki Memorial.

Here's the next one-

Arjak · 05/04/2008, 01:58 PM

Looks like a statue from Ys Book I & II.

OceanBlueKirby · 05/08/2008, 01:40 AM

Dungeon Explorer II?
Exile: Wicked Phenomeon?

Those are the only two guesses I have for this one. I have a pretty strong feeling that it is from a CD-ROM title

.

Alt-Nintega · 05/08/2008, 02:02 PM

Looks like Valkyrie form Legend of Valkyrie.

If not Ys I&II or Ys III, I have these guesses.

Xak I&II
Xak III
Xak Gaiden

Alt-Nintega · 05/08/2008, 02:04 PM

Or maybe that was taken from the 4th Stage of Altered Beast?

Sinistron · 05/08/2008, 02:13 PM

Is it just me or is it incredibly lame for people to take 7 guesses on one turn? If you happen to stumble on it from wildly taking multiple guesses- does that give a sense of accomplishment? Also entirely undermines the current quizmaster. If it was me asking and some rube listed off ten games and one of them was right- I wouldn't want to bother playing anymore. Maybe it's just me though.

Lord Thag · 05/08/2008, 02:25 PM

Since I know absolutely nothing about PCE games or imports, I'm going to guess that it is probably called something like Super Shiburbinakamurohaniryuken Man Special Blade Jack, or Donkey Picnic.

At least, that seems to be the usual Japanese style of naming

CrackTiger · 05/08/2008, 10:27 PM

No one has guessed it yet. Here's some more of the screenshot-

Sinistron · 05/08/2008, 11:15 PM

Fray? Did someone already say that?

esteban · 05/08/2008, 11:24 PM

PC Genjin 2

spenoza · 05/09/2008, 05:02 PM

Almost looks like it could have come from one of the Valis games.

CrackTiger · 05/09/2008, 07:05 PM

Still no correct guesses.

esteban · 05/10/2008, 09:48 PM

Quote from: guest on 05/09/2008, 07:05 PMStill no correct guesses.

PC Genjin 3.

OceanBlueKirby · 05/10/2008, 10:47 PM

The original Exile, then? That's all I can think of

.

CrackTiger · 05/11/2008, 07:13 PM

Hint + larger piece:

Its a Super CD game.

Joe Redifer · 05/11/2008, 07:14 PM

For some odd reason I almost want to say Lords of Thunder. Am I right?

kid_rondeau · 05/11/2008, 07:25 PM

Yes! Joe is right...even though it's not my question to answer.

Joe Redifer · 05/11/2008, 07:33 PM

It's not the statue that gives it away, it's the blue grainy stuff on the top and the bottom.

I figured that that would be enough.

Joe Redifer · 05/11/2008, 09:01 PM

Alright!

Time for a new screen shot:

CrackTiger · 05/11/2008, 11:45 PM

Looks like a bat from Dracula X or something.

Joe Redifer · 05/12/2008, 12:50 AM

Bingo!

The ball is back in your court!

Tatsujin · 05/14/2008, 08:43 AM

this quiz is gettin' easier and easier by every riddle.

Ceti Alpha · 05/14/2008, 08:47 AM

Woa! That was quick! I need to build up my collection more so I can start guessing these. lol
