Guess a Game
By: Shane Date: August 5, 2015, 6:37 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
[member=1]Kim[/member] started this game at the Vresun forums,
so… I guess I'm just exporting it here or something? :P
So, anyway. Here's how this forum game works:
A member posts a screenshot, or part of a screenshot, from a
video game that he/she has played before. Members have to guess
what it is. If the answer is correct, then the first person who
guessed correctly will have a turn to post a screenshot, which
other members then have to guess, and so on.
The screenshot must not contain the game's name or the title bar
(that thing with the "minimize" and "maximize" and "close"
buttons at the top-right corner). If it's a game that has two
versions (such as Pokémon), then either version will be correct
if the area appears in the same game(s). Screenshots must not be
from cutscenes.
When asked, the screenshot poster is allowed to give one hint,
up to a maximum of three. Below the screenshot, a "hints
remaining" counter must also be posted, to keep track of how
many hints are left. The screenshot poster must wait exactly 24
hours after posting the screenshot before they can say if
someone is correct or incorrect. (Both are enforced.)
If a week has gone by since the first screenshot was posted, a
second one will be allowed. If, after another week, the game
still hasn't been guessed, then the screenshot poster is to say
that game's name and pick a different game (thus, it would still
be their turn).
You must not use Google Images or any other search engines to
find out which game the screenshot came from.
If the current screenshot poster hasn't posted a screenshot in a
month's time, then their turn is skipped and a random forum
member (who has posted in this thread) will be selected.

I will be posting an example, here:
[list][li]Shane posts a screenshot of a platformer video game
that he has played. Alexis guesses La-Mulana (8-bit version).
Kim guesses the La-Mulana 2 Kickstarter demo. Ellen guesses Cave
Story. The screenshot that Shane had posted was from Cave Story,
so it is now Ellen's turn.[/li][li]Ellen posts a screenshot of
an action RPG. Pteriforever guesses Kingdom Hearts I. Raus
guesses Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Echoes of Time. The
screenshot Ellen had posted was from Kingdom Hearts I, so it is
Pteriforever's turn.[/li][li]And so on.[/li][/list]Right, so let
this forum game begin for real!

Hints remaining: 3
[s](At the moment, my Internet connection is really messed up,
since I can't even access Google or TV Tropes or Vresun. I'll
post a screenshot later; until then, if you guys have questions,
feel free to ask and Kim or I will answer them.)[/s]

So, there's a pic now. It's from a video game. Also the first
post was horribly mangled (everything linked to Kim's profile,
instead of just her name :o ).

Shane. Not to offence but this is kind of a cheap move. I
understand the "part of a screenshot" thing, but trying to guess
a game by the generic face of anime character will result in
discouragement :-\ . The only one to actually guess it right
is a super fan of the game. And I bet his face is from a
cutscene. Not trying to make you sad or something but that is no
fun. And a game must be fun. :)
And if I would guess, I would guess Final Fantasy Tactics, just
because it's the first thing that came to mind.

[/quote]Actually, I had hoped that someone would point that out.
;)
Now there's an example of what not to post as a screenshot.
I kinda had no idea how to phrase it when I made this thread,
though ^^;
Now, though, I guess that ought to be "screenshots must not be
from cutscenes".
Also, Ariana seems to be a super fan :o
(She is correct.)

You are one hell of admin, Shane. I have to give you props for
that.
