O.K, Here's something to boggle your minds at:

http://eastsdomain.com/site/games/lettergame/index.php

See if you can figure them all out. The crew in the FAI have 24 so far.

Edit: Only lacking answers to E,V. And dang is it hard.

It is hard indeed. I will have to spend some more time on it later today. Once this post has run for a while we might think of posting the correct answers.

Agreed. I wont post the answers, that I have, for a few days. Gives people a chance to scream in frustration.

I got like two. Sheesh.

Yeah, it's sure hard... At least I got the A!

/me swells with pride

I don't even know 26 "new-ish" games...

I have answers to five of them only.

I'll let you all know, all the games are from the 90s. The newest is 1999, and oldest 1993. The rest are spread around 94-96

I can't get any........

Harbourboy, you gotta be kidding. At least the 'D" should ring a bell?!

You know, I hate to say it HB, but maybe guessing games arent your forte. Quote games... this... :grin: :lol: :roll:

Aye, "D"'s a classic. I suppose many others are as well, but so far i've only ramembered 3 of them :confused:
And that "Y"!! I know it, just cant remember, sheesh!

4! :)
5! :)
6! :D

Finaly, 7 with "J".

The 'D' looks like 'Daredevil' to me, but that's not a game.

Guessing games are my forte, but only ones where I know the answers.

:(

I got 5, and that Y looks familiar, but the rest of them, I have no idea about

The "Z" is way older than 90's, guys. I think I had it for my Apple II+ in 1983 or 1984. Certainly by the late '80's in any event.

Tsss...
Only got the D and the y.
The L and W look pretty awsomely familiar too.

I got three.
C'mon people, the D is a must-know for any gamer.
I is a both a classic and an ancient too.
That's one of the first 'challenging' games I ever played...
:borg:

I got 10 (or was it 11?) before I went to the chat and got help on most other. Only lacking those Takara does now :grin:

5 :p and at least 3-4 more that look strikingly familiar.

Kudos to the FAI crew for 22 so far. I bet you beat the last four, too :thumb:

Woohoo! I have got 1 so far.....

13 at a glance. None of the ones yet-unknown in the chatroom, though.

Man, the Q is going to be the death of me! ARG!

I have 3, 4 after asking what Y was in the Chat.

Hah! Multiple answers are possible. At least with the Y.

Hah! Multiple answers are possible. At least with the Y. Mmmh, now I am getting curious what other games there are for Y? I hope you don't mean different parts of the same game, like in BG1 and BG2.

I only got D,F, and I so far.

Please! Someone tell me what S is! I'm sure I've seen it somewhere...

So far I've gotten D, F, J, L, T, and U. So 6. :D

I have six now with D,F,T,H,L and Y. Damn this is hard, couple of them seems familiar but I can't figure out where I've seen them. I haven't even cheated and looked at my game collection yet :D

wohoo, got the J so 7 now.

Wee, Z right too. I have actually never played the game but there aren't that many famous titles beginning with Z so I was able to guess it ;)

MORE MORE MORE! Now I have 9 with C guessed and done. Really ebarassing for me not to remember such a glorious game from my favorite genre.

Yup yup, now the number is 13 with G,B and W guessed right. I'll get them all soon enough :D

And X it is. 14 now, I guessed that damn game severeal times but wrote it the wrong way (well the right way actually) and the letter game just would not accept it.

Yay! One more for me. K this time. I thought about it a long time but then thought that they would have only truly legendary games here. Boy was I wrong... 15 letters now. I'll get through this all by myself even if it took my health. I am more than slightly irritated with M,A,I and U which all look familiar.

[ July 24, 2004, 01:59: Message edited by: Morgoroth ]

D,G,I,J,L,Y, so far

F, woohoo

Uhh, I got 19 so far, but I want to take the game home where I can think better, and I don't know how to get it... (yes, I already saved as, but doesn't work)

So far, I've got 7 letters:

C, D, F, J, L, P and T.

D, F, H, I, L, T and U.

More to come ;)

I have actually never played the game but there aren't that many famous titles beginning with Z so I was able to guess it Some of the letters can be anywhere in the title, which makes it even more difficult, e.g. the E. Others like the W and B look so familiar that you feel the title forming on you tongue...

B, C, D, I, J, K, L, T, U and Y so far.

I'm SO sure I've seen that "S" before...

Bah, I've tried the names of loads of games (Space Invaders, Frogger, Pacman, Ms Pacman, Defender, Hyper-Olympics, Moon Patrol, Asteroids etc) and I've still only got 1 so far (D).......

@ Harbourboy:

Some of the games aren't that old...and actually don't run on my machine.

Wahey! I got 'T' after spotting the part of the letter before it. That's 2 now. (D,T).

Thanks be to Zarakinthis, we now have S and Q. :roll:

When he told me S I was like :doh: I'd tried it on some of the others.

Only V, and E to get now. :bang:

Somebody PM me and tell me what Q was, for the love of God!

Well, I've only managed the D and the I so far, but then I'm not really that widely-experienced in gaming.

Aldazar - I only have D and T so far so don't feel too bad. I'll swap your I for my T if you like.

WooHoo! I've got the V! Only E to get and I have them all!

Harbourboy... guessed D?
Try, say after me... Hindo's D....!

Who's Hindo? Anyway, I still only have D, T, and now I.

Hindo. Had a scimitar in TOB IIRC. Called Hindo's DOOOOOOOOOOOM.

No scimitar. Twas a katana called Hindo's Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!

ah yes. my mistake.

Yeah! Day Of The Tentacle was there! I also new Doom and Zork but that is where it ended for me :p

woohoo got 2 more, now i only need 21 more

to more again. so fare D,F,H,J,L, O,T, W, Z

[ July 25, 2004, 19:22: Message edited by: Equester ]

What? I can't believe this? They don't have "Daikatana" in there! tis madness! Woe are they!

A first glance I got D right away. Then L. Y and Z took me some time. The rest, I must be getting old... I just can't to remember.

I'll post the answers that I have for this game tomorrow evening. I think that it has been running a while, and I'd like to know if anyone has the answer to E.

Got 6; no more, no less.

D is obvious.

I actually think I know J :D

And I feel like I should know S, but I'm drawing a blank. :(
