I can't see your avatar any more!
Btw, do you think the Jonah one was too obtuse / difficult? It's hard to judge sometimes...

It seems to be broken on my phone's browser but displays fine on my PC I'll try to re-upload it, thanks!
I think the Jonah clue was exactly as tough as it should have been, I'd like to think I would've been able to solve it if I had any knowledge of the game. Had it on my Lovefilm rental list for years and the bastards never sent it to me

Re: number 6.
That’s a great guess and an excellent game to boot

The closest thing I can define as an "iconic Egyptian helmet" would be a Khepresh, and I can't think of a single game that features one prominently.

...Oh.
Well, then it must be either

That's exactly why I guessed that one! Similar structure and everything! I'm at my wit's end, I'll let the two world-class intellectuals take a crack at it.

Oh okay. I actually hadn’t played that game, so I wasn’t familiar. Here’s another hint that may be more helpful:

Re: I'll Name That Game In 5! (Part 3: Electric Boogaloo)
I'm currently in a really awkward position, because I think I have a pretty decent guess for #6, but that's actually a game I haven't played to completion (yet), and I'd rather not confirm my guess and get spoiled on it if that's indeed the one!
I'll say this, if my guess is correct, then Simon should have this one in the bag!

Re: I'll Name That Game In 5! (Part 3: Electric Boogaloo)
I’m going to be honest with you. I just read one of the endings for the game you guessed for # 6...and that’s a better answer than the one I had...in fact, it’s almost exactly the same as Memento. Can we retroactively change the correct answer to yours? Lol mine still kind of fits (in a very surface level way) but not nearly as well as yours I don’t think. SubZero, you managed to answer my clue better than I did!KSubzero1000 wrote: ↑April 13th, 2020, 6:33 pm I'm currently in a really awkward position, because I think I have a pretty decent guess for #6, but that's actually a game I haven't played to completion (yet), and I'd rather not confirm my guess and get spoiled on it if that's indeed the one!

In terms of your second guess, this is a reveal that I’m pretty sure you’re aware of, even if you haven’t played the game. It’s pretty famous at this point. But again, the clue may not fit as well as I thought...so maybe that’s what’s causing the confusion. I tried to make sure my clues only fit one game really well (as a good clue should), but this one really slipped through the cracks unfortunately. My bad.

Re: I'll Name That Game In 5! (Part 3: Electric Boogaloo)
Ah, it's absolutely no problem! It happens. My first go at this game I came up with a few atrocious clues that only made any sense in my head but without any logical thread that would organically lead others to the correct conclusion. I'm just glad somebody decided to join in and play this with us!
But by all means, Simon can have this one! I'll brainstorm the other ones in the meantime...
Re: I'll Name That Game In 5! (Part 3: Electric Boogaloo)
Given the exchange that just took place and the realization that clue # 6 was not as clever as initially thought, I am going to give myself a mulligan and change 20% of the clue...Hopefully this will help clarify some things. My apologies for the clue not being fantastic in its initial form:
So, without further adieu:
6. (Revised) Memento(ish): the “monster” is you.
If this doesn’t help, then we can ignore this clue in our pursuit of this round’s completion...or I can change the clue completely. Either way is good with me.
