Never played this one or heard of it . Another one to add to the list.

[moycon]

Yeah I'll admit, I'd never heard of that game either!

[thegoldenband]

I actually hadn't either!  I was going through my ROMs in Stella trying to remember which game played the version of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" I was thinking of.  I happened to randomly try Nightmare, and...aha!

I ended up playing it for a little bit, actually -- what a strange little game.

Check out the YouTube link. I am pretty sure he got it right.

1) Why do the Rolling Stones want the AC turned on?
2) "You'd think they'd want Ronnie," said Keith.
3) "If you start me up / I'll never stop", as long as every so often you're "gonna drive to...", or else "this could be the last time".

Actually you got it wrong so, wait your turn. Just kidding. Great job.

Pole Position?

[Schizophretard]

Or maybe Enduro?

[thegoldenband]

Interesting guesses, but nope!

Windows 95

When I first read "AC" I thought of AC-DC, which makes me think "DC" = Driving Controller =

Indy 500

[thegoldenband]

Nope, and let me add a minor hint: it's not a driving game.

[Cortat G]

Squeeze Box?

[Schizophretard]

I wish I was a Rolling Stones fan. I'm reading the song lyrics and reading up on the band. I can't figure out any of the clues.

[Schizophretard]

River Raid?

[thegoldenband]

Nope! Lemme see if I can offer another hint: one of the clues is a pun; one is a reference to the manual's backstory; and one is a reference to a key part of the gameplay.

[LarcenTyler]

Dodge 'Em?

[Gateway]

Jungle Hunt is the only game I can think of that has rolling stones in it, and if you don't hurry, your girlfriend will get "boiled" (why the Stones want the AC turned on)

[thegoldenband]

Nope, and nope!  I do like the Jungle Hunt guess, but there are no rolling stones in this game.

Hint: What was he "gonna drive to..."? (Admittedly a much less well-known song than the other two.)

[Cortat G]

I'm going to say SwordQuest: Fireworld.

[Gateway]

Street Racer

I give up...

[thegoldenband]

Nope, not Fireworld or Street Racer (the game doesn't involve cars in any way).  Let's see...why would "they" want Ronnie?

To the edge of the world.

To keep rhythm.
