Guess the game

I recently stumbled across this online, and it's pretty fun, I have done the first 50, guessing every single game correctly with the exception of game 28! (Genuinely had no clue at all, what it was)

Anyone else played this?
It is a pretty fun/novel time killer.

You have 6 guesses to guess the game from the pictures shown, it sometimes gives clues like platforms, metacritic score & genre.

Hopefully some of my fellow GAF members have some fun with this too :)

Oh I get it. You have 6 chances to guess what 1 game is. I tried one and I thought I was wrong about 4 games when I got the 5th guess right.

I guess not bad since I never played the game. NFI how a normal person would look at a cropped image of 2 toucans, do they really just go "oh yeah, that's definitely x game"

I guess I could try the first 50 while I have my coffee(s)

Sorry, I should've explained better, I'll update my post :) I hope you have fun with it!
 
This game is great, thanks for sharing! Really cool how it shakes memories loose.

No Google or outside references used...yet. #19, #35, #50, #72, and #115 nearly got me!

Okay managed to get them all so far but that's only 20. Got work to do but I'll try to do at least the first 50 today

I think the balance is very cool of hints and screens getting more helpful right as you start to run out of guesses

Curious to see what 28 is

I'm awful at this. I'm picking random ones and jumping around. Usually the first two pictures are useless.

This quiz has taught me that I have played way too many damn JRPGs to guess this accurate, lol.




It's .. THE .. Jrpg.

i'll spoiler tag it if you want the answer
Chrono Trigger
I literally went through every FF game and DQ game and then the final picture came up and showed the protag from the back and I knew straight away haha

That was fun. Did really well on any game that wasn't a ps3 or ps4 Japanese produced exclusive. That's definitely a blind spot of mine.

I only tried this site a handful of times and didn't come close. If the site is skewed to JRPGs forget it. Aside from maybe some old Phantasy Star games, I'd get zero.

I got a bit addicted and did the 130 they got up there. There were 4 of them I got wrong, didn't look anything up.

But, there seems to be some sort of minor hint system or a bug or something, because when you find the right game and spell the first 3 words, it has a tendency to pop up on the top of the list of the games you can choose.

I want to thank my mom, dad, friends and family for always supporting me in my endless pursuit of video game knowledge. Some say that the brain real estate being taken up by random video game images could be better used serving a higher purpose such as solving world hunger. To them I humbly posit: "UNDEFEATED 134 IN A ROW AT AN AVERAGE 2.5 GUESSES (MEDIAN 2 GUESSES) PER GAME BAYBAYYYYYYY!"

I'm quite enjoying this, great way for someone to objectively test their gaming knowledge. It's funny that some of the games I got in 1 guess are ones I've never even played while a couple of my fave games took multiple guesses but a lot comes down to what they arbitrarily chose as that first pic. Anyway, good times 👌

Anyone still doing this? I started again recently. Had no clue on today's game.

I got it, annoyingly typing it in as Un-railed lost me a go, I knew what it was as soon as I got the ducks clue, never played it, but saw my partner's sisters kid playing it one time

I did horrible on today's game too.

The graphics betrayed me and I had no idea that's what the original looked like lol

Considering this was my childhood I’m very disappointed in myself lol. I kinda skipped through it too fast. If I had taken a second I would have gotten it

I have nothing to add but it’s always funny to me that the OP on basically any old thread that gets a necro bump is almost always banned. Even ones like this that are relatively young. People are wild.

Haha, that's true. In this case though, the OP requested for a year ban.
