Video Game Quiz V3.0

Those colours and symbols... Dwarven Fortress?

(No, I don't play, but I know someone that does... I play Nethack as my only roguelike)

 

[Rheinmetall]

Teh Dwarf Fortress. I can see trees marked for cutting, and a dog in there. It's probabaly winter since there's lots of snow on the ground. Someone has carried rocks out of the fortress on to a storage area. There's also two horses roaming around.

Well this was fast..

kcwong, post your question.

I can see they aven't yet dismantlet their wagons so it must be the first winter?

 

[Maniacal]

It's pretty much the beginning. I took it from someone's AAR on another forum as I accidently deleted Df on this comp earlier this week and havn't gotten around to downloading it again. Which I guess I'll do now.

It has Sinister surroundings. So far skeletal deer and cougars have been attacking.

We seem to have plenty of run ins with cougars in these forts.

Yaaaay! I won a question on the first day of the year of the pig! This is a good new year indeed!

*Ahem*

Okay, here's the question:

You board the ship to Tropical Paradise Island, but as soon as it leaves port, a freak storm blows it off course and then sinks it. You wake up a few days later, on the shore of a deserted island. Which is also a desert island. What's conspicuously missing, however, is any dessert.

After spending a few days on the island, with no dessert, it really starts to wear on you, because you were only allowed to bring 3 CDs with you, and though you spent a LONG time choosing them, you're really getting sick of them.

Luckily, a raft soon washes ashore, and atop the raft sits a beautiful supermodel.

"Hello there," she says in a sultry voice. "Looks like you and I will be spending quite a bit of time together..."

Your heart races.

This is the moment you've been waiting for.

You cast a spell on her which puts her to sleep, steal her raft, and paddle back to the mainland. What did you think this was? Some kind of a joke?

Guess the name of the game.

 

[TheBladeRoden]

Misdirection?

 

[kcwong]

Nope... there's a video game called "Misdirection"?

 

[Raisin Bran]

Leisure suit larry

 

[kcwong]

No, not Leisure suit larry... it's something quite different from the usual video games...

 

[Rheinmetall]

Text adventure of some kind? I don't know too many of them. I used to play one on C=.

 

[kcwong]

Well... let's say this game supports many different "platforms"...

 

[TheBladeRoden]

Is it a Choose Your Own Adventure book?

 

[Till]

Is it an online text based parody on the RPG genre? I think i've played it, but the name escapes me at the moment.

 

[kcwong]

@TheBladeRoden: No, it's not a book! This is a video game quiz so I wouldn't put a book in here.

@Till: You almost have it.

 

[Till]

I recalled the name of the game: Kingdom of Loathing?

 

[Nerdking]

I have played much Kingdom of Loathing, and the writing style is similar, but I don't recall that particular mishap. (and wouldn't it be followed by something like moxie +2)

 

[Till]

Well, i played very little of it (never made it beyond the noob mountain), but it is the only thing i could think of, besides possibly one of the Discworld games.

 

[kcwong]

Till is correct.

 

[Hitti-Litti]

(No, I don't play, but I know someone that does... I play Nethack as my only roguelike)

Me too.

Now we have questions based on pics, videos, music and now description!

 

[Till]

The next one is from waaaay back:

 

[Rheinmetall]

Good old sierra adventures. Could it be goldrush, judging from the wagons.
