+thegoldenband Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Five clues this time! 1. No Christmas story: just a weak hint of Hanukkah. 2. No Hollywood Squares: and no Hunter either. 3. No easy embrace for us: just friendly hugs & kisses for now. 4. No easy success: it usually backfires. 5. No pastel blue skies: paint it black, 'cause we're having a fine time.

Gateway Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 No Escape! ? Haven't figured out the first 3 clues yet, but I am guessing #4 refers to having to kill the furies indirectly with the bricks otherwise a direct hit causes them to multiply! And #5 I think refers to the gamescreen being black yet the label art suggests the sun hasn't set in the sky yet( or it is dusk ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Alas, it's not No Escape. EDIT: But your thought on #5 is somewhat in the ballpark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Atari_Warlord Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm not sure I can come up with a way to make this fit all the clues, but the blue/black sky made me think of Glacier Patrol, which is blue on the box but black on the game screen.

+thegoldenband Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Not Glacier Patrol, though there's a way in which you're close! This will probably be a tough one for folks to get, but hopefully someone will get to the source of my inspiration... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck D. Head Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 It looks like maybe it is clues that lead to five games again and then to one game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+thegoldenband Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 None of the above, though Chuck D. Head is on to something when he mentions that other games are implicated in the clues.

Pioneer4x4 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 And assuming those are wrong as well, I have 1 more. Private Eye And I am not just shotgunning it, they make sense to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck D. Head Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Well this one is fun; a lot to think about. I need to be done with this madness till later tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 It's none of the above, Pioneer4x4, alas...let me say that I appreciate that you're not tactically shotgunning crazy guesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pioneer4x4 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Ooh, wait, Firefighter or Towering Inferno! On this I was thinking from Paint it black - Red Door (great song!) Backfire - (truck noise) and hanukkah candles - Fire Hugs and Kisses - Rescued! All pointed to a Firetruck (Which is the only work in the dictionary that starts with "F" and ends with "uck") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) I was thinking Dragonfire, but can't make it fit all the clues. It does have a candelabra you can collect (Hanukkah), rushing out of the door into the dragon's den usually backfires, the sky on the box has some blue in it but it's black in-game. Can't figure out the other clues though. I think "hugs and kisses" refers to "X's and O's"... but if it's not 3-D Tic-Tac-Toe (which fits the Hollywood Squares clue, too), then what? Does it point to something else 3-D-ish? Edited September 13, 2012 by Nathan Strum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+thegoldenband Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Not E.T. or Dragonfire, though Nathan's correct about the meaning of "hugs and kisses" and has the right idea about the blue/black thing. I think it'll help when, for a start, people are looking exclusively at, let's say, the source of certain games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Atari_Warlord Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 It seems the clues might be pointing to Imagic games. Maybe Shootin' Gallery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
