Post by: AvengerUK on Mar 04, 2007, 18:27:34
Objective: Guess the game from a max. of two pictures. If the guess is correct, then post another picture. A clue may be given if you think its rather hard.

Scoring: A forum game with a difference! - ill update the thread now and again with scores, (if anyone bothers to play  ;) )

Guessing the game: 1 point
Guessing the game AND publisher: 2 points
Guessing the game AND publisher, along with year of realse: 3 points
All the above, and the "console" it was released on: 5 points

Rules: MUST be a game from 1998 or below - two pictures at most. No "offensive" pictures etc.

Ill start us off...

I'd join in if I had any ideas about games whatsoever, but as I don't I'll keep quiet, except to say thanks for a new challenge for everyone else. :)

Correct; Batman Returns to be exact. It's a shot of the Sega Mega System version, released in 1993. :P
