+Atari_Warlord Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I guess I made it too hard, or everyone is busy. I thought the 3rd clue would give it away but maybe the first two really throw people off. Let me know if I need to add a hint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Atari_Warlord Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Not yet. Here is a hint on the second clue: it is a reference to something the programmer did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck D. Head Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Mountain King? Hmm you could be onto something... 1- Merv griffin was on CBS and CBS produced Mountain King 2 - The diamonds you are collecting are worth 25 points each 3 - uhhhhh, it has Mountain in the title......

+thegoldenband Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 The first thing I think of with "I miss the mountains" is Defender, but I can't connect the other clues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck D. Head Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Well I just spent wayyyyyy too much time researching any connection between Merv Griffin and Atari; turns out Merv and Ted Dabney went to the same high school. Then I got sucked into a game show wiki and barely made it out alive. I will sit the rest of this one out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Atari_Warlord Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 thegoldenband is correct, it's Defender. It was one of my favorite arcade games that I would go to the local 7-11 to play. I still remember how surprised I was when it showed up on Merv Griffin and was shown for the 2600. The second clue refers to the easter egg of the programmers initials which is on the 25th level holding a human below the 25th scan line. The last clue is a reference to changing the mountains to a city scape for the 2600 version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigO Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Aww, I thought this was going to be one of those fake personality tests with a series of questions that makes a profound determination such as, "You are Berzerk" or "You are Crack'ed". I was hoping to be Circus. Edited August 9, 2012 by BigO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mxyzptlk Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 The first thing I think of with "I miss the mountains" is Defender, but I can't connect the other clues. Nice one, the only clue that made sense to me was "miss the mountains" and I thought as you went further in Space Invaders you have no protection from the things that I guess could be considered "mountains" . I KNOW I was reaching, but I have not got any right for awhile now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I am pretty sure the "Merv Griffin show" is just a sketch from sctv? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I KNOW I was reaching, but I have not got any right for awhile now. Space Invaders was one of my guesses too for the same reason. I also guessed Mountain King and Defender. I just didn't say anything because I wanted to find a clip of the show and figure out the number 25. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+thegoldenband Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 1. The one in the middle doesn't belong. 2. The first two letters are all wrong. 3. Lots of tones, but hardly a song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
