PC Engine Screen-shot quiz

_Paul · 07/27/2007, 07:56 AM

I think we need more clues...

ccovell · 07/27/2007, 09:52 AM

Alright! It's an omake in a well-known game! And it's a well-known omake at that!

ParanoiaDragon · 07/27/2007, 10:36 PM

Anearth Fantasy Stories Takeban or however you spell it.

Hehe, apparently not that well known.

Joe Redifer · 07/28/2007, 09:21 AM

Bomberman?

esteban · 07/28/2007, 09:35 AM

Rastan Saga II! OK, now it's my turn to post a picture...

Joe Redifer · 08/02/2007, 06:40 PM

Keith Courage in Alpha Zones?

China Warrior?

ccovell · 08/02/2007, 10:36 PM

Well, I'm glad that my deceptively simple screenshot pic got so much mileage.

I thought the clues would have helped out, but I guess you guys don't play PC-Engine games all that much.

Final clue, I swear: this is from a game involving the zodiac.

awack · 08/02/2007, 11:13 PM

Mesopotamia ?

ccovell · 08/02/2007, 11:15 PM

That's right, the shot is from Mesopotamia / Somer Assault's hidden game!

ParanoiaDragon · 08/03/2007, 03:03 AM

Wait a tick, I don't recall Somer Assault having a hidden game........though, hmmm, I'm not sure

_Paul · 08/03/2007, 04:17 AM

It has a hidden game? Oh well...

CrackTiger · 08/03/2007, 08:10 AM

I guess its not such a well-known omake after all.

At least outside of Japan.

Turbo D · 08/03/2007, 08:19 AM

I could never play far enough to get to that, I get bored in the first level

... It's accessible from the sound test...

Quote from: ccovell on 08/03/2007, 09:41 AM... It's accessible from the sound test...

Splitting Hairs: No it isn't. It's accessible from the seizure screen, which is accessible from the sound test, which is accessible from the birthday selection screen. Input yet another code and you'll be shown a picture of God and instructions for building a cold fusion reactor.

Anyhow, that was a good one ccovell. I'd forgotten all about S.A.'s hidden shmup.

spenoza · 08/03/2007, 11:13 AM

I don't know who's next, but I have one that shouldn't be quite as hard if nobody minds ;)

Well, it is inaccessible from anywhere else but the sound test, isn't it?

That's like saying the upstairs is inaccessible from the kitchen, because there's a foyer between the two.

NecroPhile · 08/03/2007, 12:55 PM

Still Splitting Hairs: That would also make it accessible from the title screen, or while mid-game, or while playing Bomberman, or while making a sandwich in the kitchen, etc.

It's like saying that the upstairs is accessible from the neighbor's basement, because you could conceivably travel from one to the other. Accessibility implies a direct connection, but maybe that's just my opinion (hence the 'splitting hairs').

*whispers* Maybe you should slip it in while they're arguing amongst themselves

Keranu · 08/03/2007, 04:34 PM

Whoa, I've never seen that in my life! I got to try that!

spenoza · 08/03/2007, 06:44 PM

Sneaky ninja-like post! I hereby co-opt this turn in the name of Spain! Why? Because I like it! And they have the comfey chair, and tapas, and other stuff...

Figure this one out, all you smarty-pantses!

Parasol Stars.

Quote from: ccovell on 08/03/2007, 10:19 PMParasol Stars.

Goddammit, I bet you're right.

Tangent: Gurus, here's a question about Parasol Stars and the music... in the (North American) game, I thought they repeated the same music over and over, yet when you go to the sound test, there were tons of songs that I didn't remember hearing in the game.

Granted, I haven't played Parasol Stars in years, so I might be mistaken. Am I? I've asked this question a bunch of times over the years and I don't think anyone has offered a definitive response. Help!

Joe Redifer · 08/04/2007, 01:14 AM

OK, how about this one:

If you can't guess this one within one minute, you hate PC Engine games!

ParanoiaDragon · 08/04/2007, 01:16 AM

In Parasol Stars, when you get the rainbow necklace I believe, you get 3 more worlds to play, all with they're own theme songs, plus, a real ending song.

Ordyne ?

Joe Redifer · 08/04/2007, 04:06 AM

Wrong! You may have to rumble your mind with this one.

spenoza · 08/04/2007, 06:07 PM

Darnit... If Chris didn't get it, would any of the rest of you have?

Joe Redifer · 08/04/2007, 06:51 PM

Shit. You mean I posted a pic before the previous one has been guessed? Damn it!

ccovell · 08/04/2007, 07:26 PM

I get no respect. No respect at all.

_Paul · 08/05/2007, 04:05 AM

Joe seems to suffer from premature posting.

Joe Redifer · 08/05/2007, 05:16 AM

Probably because the people who posted the last time never seem to come back (unless it's Covell).

spenoza · 08/05/2007, 08:39 AM

I noted that Chris got it. So it's his turn to do with as he pleases.

ccovell · 08/05/2007, 08:42 AM

Well, I'd like to see what Joe's screenshot turns out to be (unless it's a gag.)

Can you give us some sort of hint for this criminally sparse picture?

Tatsujin · 08/05/2007, 08:54 AM

at least it seems that nobody has to worry about hating pc engine games.

Wonder Momo!

Joe Redifer · 08/05/2007, 07:27 PM

It's not a gag shot. I did give a hint in response to the first guess. The only other hint I'll give is that this is in the first stage.

And no, it's not Wonder Momo. It's not Toilet Kids, either (everyone probably expects me to post something from that game). And Spenoza, my previous post about people who posted not coming back for awhile is based mainly on the NOT another screenshot thread.

Joe meant that you may have to rumble your mind the way that Jackie Chan caused a Rumble in the Bronx.

The hints usually throw me off completely instead of just trying to identify the game by the image.

This may ruin my chances of guessing any more of Joe's posts, but I always expect him to pick U.S. games.

Joe Redifer · 08/05/2007, 10:06 PM

Sorry, I picked the Japanese version of Jackie Chan's Action Kung-Fu (fo' realz, it was da PC Engine ROM yo). So you'll have to guess again.

Bitch, bitch, bitch. Why don't you cry me a frickin' river, or at least make a damn guess at the answer?

So... where's the next one Black Tiger?

Joe Redifer · 08/06/2007, 02:15 AM

Just to piss you off, my friend. Just to piss you off.

Magical Dinosaur Tour! The mini-game where the dinos fight in the ring

. OK, my turn...

_Paul · 08/08/2007, 04:05 AM

And....?

CrackTiger · 08/08/2007, 07:46 AM

No, its not the fighting mini-game from Magical Dinosaur Tour.

_Paul · 08/08/2007, 07:47 AM

Is it Tsuppari Dai Sumo?

ccovell · 08/08/2007, 08:54 AM

It's Battle Royale.

I didn't want to give it away! It's fun when folks get a few more chances to guess... especially when I give hints
