redsteakraw Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 So here is the game, guess the games first to guess two out of three wins. The three carts are a Dactar pirate cart of a game from an popular atari publisher. The second is a m-network game and the third is an Activision game. So here is the picture of the Mystery games.

jhd Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Ridiculous request. It's a combination of 1/60 1/20 and 1/95. The probability of guessing all three correctly is roughly .000085. So, assuming completely random chance, it will take slightly more than 10,000 guesses to get all three correct. An analysis of the relative rarity of games by these three publishers could significantly improve those odds, but computing that is beyond my capability.

I will be periodically updating to show the number of correct guesses so far, beyond that all I will say is there are no prototypes in this mix and no bad/boring games. Happy hunting!

M-Network: International Soccer Activision: Laser Blast It is a top selling / producing publisher I will narrow it down to the top 3 Activision, Atari and iMagic. This game also isn't bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Dactar:E.T.(I guess Atari gave some of the already produced left over circuit board to a mystery buyer to recoup some cost).M-Network:Bump N Jump. Burgertime would be way too expensive to produce due to it unique memory designActivision: Enduro(It's a guess.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the games aren't bad, ET therefore is disqualified. Also on M-Network price isn't necessarily an issue Burgertime is a Scarce M-Network game Edited April 23, 2018 by redsteakraw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+KaeruYojimbo Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) no bad/boring games. That's not subjective or anything...

redsteakraw Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 That's not subjective or anything... There are some games most people know are garbage, and some games that simply are known to be good games. That being said that doesn't trim down much of Activision or iMagic games. ET was never know to be a great game, there are few people that would take a pass on Kaboom or Tapper for ET. This isn't anything too controversial here, most people would know a bad game from a good game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are about as many members of this forum who will profess their undying love for E.T. as there are who will bash it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was ET okay given the ambition and limited time maybe is it really fun heck no and to claim it is a great game is a known controversial statement. People know that that is a disputed claim.

Flojomojo Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I reject the question! Those are just cartridges. The GAME needs to be plugged in and turned on to be identified. :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
