+Karl G Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 This is the same game as last round: one letter in an Atari 2600 title has been changed to make a whole new game. The descriptions of the new games are below. You must guess the title of the new game, and the original title as well. The difference this time is that these are based off of homebrew titles instead of original library titles. To narrow it down, they are all 2600 titles currently available in the AA store. Example: You are a rancher on a space colony, in charge of all of the livestock. A strange malady is infecting your herds, making them go feral, and try to attack the colony. Can you neutralize the sick animals while maintaining control of the remainder of your herd? Answer: Star Cattle Arcade -> Star Castle Arcade. Here are the alternative homebrew game titles: 1 - Your goal in this game is to lead your zero-gravity polo team to victory against rival teams. 2 - Humans have accumulated so much trash that it evolves into a sentient life form. You must defend your city against marauding smelly but sentient trash piles on a mission of destruction. 3 - Stranded in the middle of a desert, you must find your way home, and find enough water along the way to survive the journey. 4 - You are the judge of an Interstellar beauty pageant focused on finding the best legs in the galaxy. 5 - Princess, a well-loved dog has become separated from her owner. You must help her navigate the hazards of the city to help her return to her comfortable home. 6 - The Ice King and his terrible minions have returned from exile to take over your kingdom. It is up to you to take up arms and defeat this terrible usurper, and free your people. 7 - With no weapons to be found, you are forced to learn hand-to-hand combat skills as the beginning step to defend yourself against attacking monsters. 8 - On your way to Mars with your fellow althletes for this year's Solar Olympics, you must train for the competition throughout the long journey. 9 - You are a sentient bolt of lightning that must find the nearest power grid before your charge is completely depleted. Avoid obstacles that can ground you, and only use your sparking power to defend yourself when your need is dire! 10 - On the run from predators of the jungle, you must find safe places to rest on your way back to civilization, lest you pass out and become a meal for your pursuers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not "Jungle Hut", I know, but it could. Quote 8 - On your way to Mars with your fellow althletes for this year's Solar Olympics, you must train for the competition throughout the long journey. Perhaps "a Coach in Space" ?? Quote 2 - Humans have accumulated so much trash that it evolves into a sentient life form. You must defend your city against marauding smelly but sentient trash piles on a mission of destruction. Let's say "Junk First". Quote 5 - Princess, a well-loved dog has become separated from her owner. You must help her navigate the hazards of the city to help her return to her comfortable home. I think "Lady Pug". Quote 3 - Stranded in the middle of a desert, you must find your way home, and find enough water along the way to survive the journey. Maybe "Saloon Trip". Quote 1 - Your goal in this game is to lead your zero-gravity polo team to victory against rival teams. Why not "Slip Football" ? ("Crazy Palet" could work in some countries, where "Puck" is not used) Quote 4 - You are the judge of an Interstellar beauty pageant focused on finding the best legs in the galaxy. I drop "Contest of Mars". Edited March 30, 2020 by Rastignac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark-aleph Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 A Coach in Space must be no. 1, then. Funny that the solution works for two descriptions! Some clever answers there from @Rastignac ? No. 8 could be Space Jocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark-aleph Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Changing the name to Space Jocks seems to invert the aim of @SpiceWare's game. Space Jocks protect your asteroids from destruction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
