PC Engine Screen-shot quiz

Grasping at straws here, but how about Sol Bianca or Nekketsu Legend Baseball?

I think it should be decreed that Arkhan is no longer allowed to play, aside from making guesses. 

Could you have picked a more generic rpg, or more importantly, could you have picked a more generic place to grab a small sample of pixels from?  If you wanted to take a snap of Sol Bianca, why in a generic grassy field, (a quickly forgettable place in almost any rpg) that for even those that played are not likely to recall.

Is it any wonder why the reason anyone got it was through process of elimination and some wild guesses? The point was to take a snap of something RECOGNIZABLE without the need of hints, and to provide (good) hints if people were having trouble remembering. In most of the previous examples the snap was instantly recognized by many (ie that looks "familiar") but it took awhile for people to remember exactly which game it came from. In you example, NOTHING was recognizable about it. People had to rely almost 100% on your beating around the bush hints. It's no fun when you do it that way.

Yes I have looked nec, though vague many were, at least they didn't drag their feet with hints (in this case enlarging the picture was not helpful in any way) and they still managed to have something identifiable about them, tell me what was identifiable about Ark's original pic or expansions? I still say up to the full shot it could have been any number of games.

Yes the hints were crappy at best, but some peeps have figured it out with less;

Yet you ignore the part of my post pointing out:

Perhaps I should have said generic screenshot that came from what looks like a generic rpg. I can think of many other rpgs I have played or seen screenshots of that look far too similar to this one: ie grassy field with mountains and a town. I only meant generic in the way the game is portrayed in this single snapshot. That doesn't necessarily mean it IS generic, but I certainly don't have high hopes.

So its Necromancers turn, right?

I don't think banning someone for stumping everyone is a good idea.

I mean it was annoying and the hints were a little off (Just the one about it not being fantasy) but it was good show, Arkhan. So on to the next one eh?

Lol I wasn't serious....or was I?! 

[Joe Redifer]

So should I ban him?  I can even ban his IP and make it so he can't even see the forums.  I will also ban him from Sega-16 and the-magicbox.com just for good measure.  Or not.

[Arkhan]

No offense Zeon, and possibly anyone else....

its a "quiz"!  That was kind of the point.  I clipped the picture so it WOULD look like a racing game just to see who was on their toes.  Giving an easy to recognize screen shot doesn't make it a quiz.  It makes it a race to see who posts first.  There have been some other stumpers in here too.  

You don't play a lot of RPGs ( I don't think ).  Its not hard to pick out grassy fields and scenery from games by looking once you re familiar with them.

Sorry if the hints were a little off, but I figured when I said no one was warm with their racing and shooting guesses, and then said it was an RPG, it nudged everyone in the right direction.  Maybe part of the problem is that pcengine.co.uk doesn't have screen shots of Sol Bianca :-D

Sol Bianca is sci-fi! But it definitely pulls a Cosmic Fantasy and has a lot of fantasy-like elements to it... not because its a "generic RPG" with "forgettable scenery", but because in the future they STILL HAVE GRASS AND MOUNTAINS!  Why limit that to just fantasy games?

and maybe no one got it because not alot of people have played Sol Bianca.  This means people should play it!  Its pretty fun.

generic? Eh. Debatable.   Obscure/not popular? I think so.

No reason to whine just because you couldn't get it Zeon   Maybe next time I will make a really easy one just for you.  Like a full screenshot of the first level of Bonk.  :-"

[Joe Redifer]

in the future they STILL HAVE GRASS AND MOUNTAINS!

No, the future is 100% metallic.  There can be grass and mountains, yes... but they would be metal grass and mountains.
