Me neither... but if Gribbler hasn't played it, obviously it doesn't actually exist.

Gribbler · Tue 01/04/2014 10:58:40

Err... yeah yeah... This is OD's April Fools joke, obviously!

He's just quick off the mark.

I kind of wish I had played whatever game that is... having a "think" verb intrigues me.

I feel like I missed an opportunity there.

I thought this game was semi-well known, maybe not. OK, hint time:

Spoiler

It's a SNES/Super Famicom game.

[close]

Spoiler

It was only released in Japan, but it got a fan translation several years later.

[close]

Spoiler

It's a remake of a Famicom game.

[close]

Spoiler

It's the 2nd part of a series of games, but is actually a prequel to the original game's story.

[close]

Still don't know the game, but just like CaptainD is intrigued... I WANT a think verb in one of my games!

Gribbler · Tue 01/04/2014 15:44:16

I know next to nothing about old SNES games, I never had that console. But using my extraordinary deductive skills (and your hints

) I think it's one of Famicom Tantei Club games.

OneDollar · Tue 01/04/2014 19:37:44

...maybe? Any idea which one?

Gribbler · Tue 01/04/2014 20:45:41

Part II

Mouth for war · Tue 01/04/2014 21:19:33

Cyber Knight 2 ?

OneDollar · Tue 01/04/2014 21:35:42

Correct, it's Famicom Tantei Club Part II: Ushiro ni Tatsu ShÅ Âjo a.k.a. Famicom Detective Club Part II: The Girl who Stands Behind

It's more of a visual novel than a standard puzzle solving adventure game, but I remember the story being really good.

I'm not suggesting you go downloading ROMs and emulators, but if you were to find yourself with a ROM of the game and you happened to download the fan translation patch, place it in the same directory as the ROM and give it the same name, you might find yourself playing a fun detective game with a great story and a think verb. Or you could learn Japanese and buy the original cartridge, I guess.

Anyway, Gribbler, your turn.

That's Apollo Justice, part of the Phoenix Wright series!

Gribbler · Wed 02/04/2014 00:57:20

Correct!

Scavenger · Wed 02/04/2014 01:11:30

Here's an easy one.

AprilSkies · Wed 02/04/2014 09:15:25

It's the old uncomplete Amiga game "Limbo of the Lost"... but pretty sure never released as full game :/

abstauber · Wed 02/04/2014 09:20:47

You call an unreleased A1200/CD32 game easy? I would have never guessed that and I wasted lots of hours/days/years in front of commodore's electronics
