What's up everybody? I'm Damon Hasfield and welcome to
2:02
another special episode of Game Scoop. We've got a
2:04
brand new set of 20 questions moments that you
2:06
won't want to miss. Today we're highlighting some of
2:08
the most challenging and hilarious 20 questions moments we've
2:10
ever had. These segments come from episodes 697, 510,
2:12
552, 455, 464, and 503.
2:19
Get ready to laugh and think hard as
2:21
we check out these throwbacks. Let the questioning
2:23
begin! Okay,
2:30
my friends, that brings us to
2:32
video game 20 questions. Oh my
2:34
goodness. Our suggestion this week comes
2:37
from Andy from Sunbury, Pennsylvania. Let
2:40
the questioning begin. There's a horse in
2:42
the studio here as well. Oh my goodness. A
2:44
mighty pig's horse has entered the
2:47
studio. Yeah, it's hard to
2:49
tell from here. It might just be a
2:51
greyhound dog. Anyway,
2:54
hi there. Let the
2:56
questioning begin. Is
2:59
this a spooky game? Oh, good
3:01
one. No, it's not. Oh,
3:03
broke tradition. I don't think we had
3:06
a single spooky game this season then.
3:09
I don't know. I'm not sure. I'd love to ask the stack person.
3:14
Okay, did this come out after
3:16
the year 2000? Yes.
3:21
Is it playable on the Switch? No.
3:26
Is it an exclusive? I forget how I used to ask
3:28
that question with specificity. Console
3:30
exclusive? Yeah. Or
3:33
no, no, no. Is it exclusive to one platform? That
3:35
way we can include easy
3:37
as well. It is not exclusive to
3:40
one platform. Is this based on a
3:42
license? Yes,
3:44
that's five. What does that
3:47
mean? Maybe it's sneak king or something
3:49
like that. It's a great
3:51
game. Are there, well, there are Game of
3:53
Thrones games. Yeah, totally. Is it
3:55
a narrative driven
3:57
game? No. You
4:00
wouldn't say that. It's not the Game of Thrones
4:02
game. Is
4:05
it a license based on TV or movies?
4:10
No. Okay.
4:15
I mean, okay. No.
4:19
Maybe it's a comic-y thing that's become a...
4:24
Yeah, that's tough. We
4:27
don't really know. We're in like a 22-year span that I'd like to narrow
4:29
down. Okay. Did
4:32
this game come out after January
4:34
1, 2010? Yes.
4:41
This is based on a comic-book-y series? No.
4:46
That's why the license might be kind of weird for this then, huh? Well,
4:49
could be sports, technically. Could be... Music.
4:53
Toys. Toys is a good one. Yeah. Yeah.
4:59
Yeah, you know, there's Hot Wheels Unleashed. Totally.
5:02
Totally. Yeah. Should
5:05
we go racing team or... Yeah, exactly.
5:09
I want to know the license. Yeah.
5:11
It might take us a while to get there, but we can try for it. We
5:15
don't have to. No, no, no. It's fine. What else are we going to do? I
5:18
mean, we could though. You go like, is it a sports game, for instance? But
5:21
I doubt that is. Go ahead. Is this
5:23
a licensed off of like a toy or
5:25
a physical object of some kind? A
5:28
toy or a physical object? Yeah.
5:36
I can't wait for the answer to this. I
5:39
want you to rephrase your questions. Like
5:42
a physical product? No, that's salty. That's too
5:44
same. Is this
5:46
a video game based off of... Maybe
5:49
it's a board game. Yeah,
5:52
that's actually a pretty good point. I like that suggestion.
5:56
Is this a digital adaptation of a board game? No. Oh
6:00
no. Have
6:03
we mentioned the category by which the
6:05
license matches to one of what we've
6:07
been talking about? That
6:10
was a weird way of saying it. Yeah, we're in
6:12
trouble. I
6:14
don't know. Have we mentioned the license category? The
6:18
license, like what is? What
6:21
type of license it is, yes.
6:26
So we said toys, we said cars, we said
6:28
sports. We already asked the board
6:30
game one specifically. OK. No,
6:32
you have not mentioned what
6:35
this is licensed from. Could
6:38
be a book. Could be a book. It
6:40
could be like a Lord of the Rings
6:42
game that's not based off of the movies
6:45
or anything like that, or
6:47
maybe even Song of Ice and Sire. Is
6:50
this based on a book? Yes. OK.
6:54
OK, I think we can get this. It's probably
6:56
Shadow of Mordor. Or still Game of Thrones. This
6:58
game, I don't know,
7:00
probably not based on a book. The license is
7:02
from a book. Understood. OK. Yeah,
7:04
Shadow of Mordor is a very credible guess.
7:06
Yeah. Is it
7:08
a fantasy game? No. So
7:12
sci-fi maybe? Yeah.
7:16
Chronicles of Riddick? Technically,
7:21
yeah. Not
7:23
fantasy. What
7:26
other kinds of books were we based on games from? Harry
7:29
Potter? That's fantasy, right? Does
7:31
that count? Yeah. Harry Potter
7:34
is a pretty good guess, although I don't know that
7:36
there's that many Harry Potter games. Isn't that fantasy? There
7:38
are more than you'd probably remember, but yeah, it's fantasy.
7:41
Mm-hmm. OK,
7:45
this is getting interesting. Yeah,
7:47
what else are they making book movies
7:49
about? I was trying to think about
7:51
horror-themed things. Oh, yeah. Like, Stephen King
7:53
games. Dark Tower game.
7:57
I think everything is modeled off of the road. But
7:59
I don't know. I know that there's like
8:01
a direct theme for that. Yeah,
8:03
that's a good point. I was just thinking about
8:05
that book the other day. Is this based off
8:07
a sci-fi? Is this a sci-fi game? No.
8:11
Crazy. Hmm. Crazy,
8:15
crazy, crazy. Not spooky. Kind
8:19
of something that had its origins
8:22
in books, but maybe it's not based on
8:24
it. What
8:26
about the telltale oeuvre? Is there anything in there
8:28
that would apply to this? No,
8:30
because I already asked if it was a narrative-driven
8:32
game. That's not... That's a good
8:34
point. But otherwise, like... Yeah, that's a good point.
8:36
Wolf. You know, one
8:39
of those. No, you're right
8:41
about the narrators. We eliminated all of them.
8:44
Yep. Crud. Because
8:46
my first thought was, oh, what about Winter? Oh, what
8:48
about Winter? No, that's fantasy. Darn it, darn it, darn
8:50
it, darn it. So funny. Or
8:56
cyber-funk. Sci-fi. Yeah.
8:59
Yeah. So
9:02
maybe it's like of Western? Is
9:05
there any Western-y games? Or Godfather
9:07
type stuff? It
9:09
was a Godfather game. Yeah. That's
9:12
it. They made a few of those. I guess Scarface
9:14
was maybe based off the movie, but Godfather is probably not. Yeah.
9:19
Maybe other crime stuff too. There could
9:21
be crime stuff. It
9:24
might be Godfather, because that's why there was
9:26
a little bit of confusion over whether it
9:28
was like a movie license thing. Yeah, I
9:30
don't know. Is it narrative-driven though? I
9:33
mean, it's an open-worldy... It's an action
9:35
game. ...PTA clone, yeah. Well,
9:38
I don't think it is that, but I'm going to ask the
9:40
open-world question. Would that make sense? Sure. Is
9:43
this an open-world game? No. Okay. Would
9:48
it count if it were superhero-based? Could
9:51
this just be a Marvel or a DC game?
9:54
I asked about comics. Yeah.
9:56
Or we mentioned it as part of the licenses
9:58
we were thinking of. Okay. Man,
10:03
this is not going great, but it's pretty interesting.
10:06
So what are we on? Yeah. Oh,
10:10
boy. Do we need...and we just know if it's in 20
10:12
years. Do we need the years better or would that even
10:14
help? We know 2010. I
10:16
guess that's after 2010. After
10:19
2010. Okay. Well, after
10:21
2009. Can we phone a
10:23
friend? Is Paris still in there? Oh, here's my
10:25
dear. Can we phone a skull?
10:29
Wow. As
10:32
a skull, it has no ideas, it turns
10:34
out. I do apologize that Ricardo Skeleton could
10:36
not join us today. Since I'm in San
10:38
Francisco, there was no room in my suitcase
10:40
for that old bag of bones. All
10:43
right. I don't know where to go with this. How
10:45
would you explain that to the TSA? Oh,
10:49
we can hear you, Joe. Yeah.
10:52
We can hear the control room right now. If they have
10:54
any ideas, let us know. Shall
11:00
we do...I don't
11:03
know where we're going wrong with this. Maybe graphic
11:05
style or can you play it as
11:08
a human? We could do that. My
11:10
guess is it's like a light license connection.
11:12
Like maybe a platformer. Well, no, probably not
11:15
a platformer in the last 10 years. I
11:18
mean, what in the world...it's going to be
11:20
some sort of like weird action arcade game
11:22
that has like a kooky license. It's based
11:24
off of like Emily Dickinson, but it's like
11:26
some weird arcade game or
11:29
something like that. Oh,
11:31
smart. Frankenstein or Dracula games would be that.
11:34
Yeah, exactly. Or
11:37
maybe it's not that at all. But I'm confused
11:39
about something that is based off
11:41
the world of a book, but it's not a
11:43
narrative-driven game. That confuses me. It can't be Frankenstein
11:46
or Dracula because it's non-spooky. Yeah,
11:48
it could be Jumanji. But it's
11:50
a good trajectory. I mean... What
11:53
about if it's like a kids series? Should we
11:55
go that direction? Could
11:57
be kids series. Top
12:00
of all with life and fish. Yeah Would
12:05
this be a game directed at children no
12:08
Wow adults II bucks, too Um
12:14
Should we ask it? I bet you play as a human Should
12:17
we ask about crime or I'm
12:19
kind of interested if it's not sci-fi or fantasy. I kind of want
12:22
to know like What
12:24
the deal is, but it could be like just something
12:26
like really basic. Just like this is based on You
12:29
know 50 cent blood and blood in the sand or
12:31
something, right? I mean they made they
12:34
made like digital play said it's not digital
12:36
board game port But they made like remember
12:38
like 80 days like that narrative game they
12:40
made sorcery, although that's very narrative. It's a
12:43
nevermind Thinking
12:45
about like those digital game books That
12:49
way I don't know if he'd ever get a question like that, I
12:51
don't know this is pretty long Yeah,
12:54
I give up three questions and a
12:56
guess what you got. All right, do you play as
12:58
a human? Yes, okay Is
13:06
it I like crime based I like knowing if this
13:08
is like crime Yes,
13:11
it's a crime crime based game like do
13:13
you with the player commit crimes or
13:16
or solve them or what
13:18
either or Yeah,
13:20
you commit or solve crime. Yeah Yeah,
13:23
that's a great more like is it just a
13:25
part of the theme? Is there any crime? Yeah
13:27
going on as a theme in this game. Is
13:29
there any guys a crimey Damon? Come on Okay
13:38
There is I mean I just feel like you don't
13:40
want to okay It's
13:44
not my job to save you from
13:46
yourself When there is there is crime
13:48
that happens in the game. There
13:51
is some crime You
13:56
said like do you commit
13:58
crimes or solve crimes? It's
14:01
the theme of the game. Like is it
14:03
a crime themed game? Yeah like detective-y kind
14:05
of thing. But like think of how many
14:07
games where there's some critical
14:09
like not like parking tickets game and
14:12
like real crime, hard crime. Yeah. Yeah.
14:14
There is hard crime that is happening
14:17
in this game. Based
14:20
on a book. Mm-hmm. It's
14:25
a weird one. Alright. Maybe it's
14:28
not. I mean maybe it's like some huge... Is
14:30
there crime happening in Super Mario Bros.? I
14:33
mean Bowser turned everybody into bricks. That
14:36
must be illegal. If
14:39
not now it's been legislated against... I mean
14:41
they're kingdoms and rules. Kidnapping? Kidnapping,
14:43
right? It is a monarchy though so
14:45
like we don't know what's going on.
14:47
I'm sure the princess outlawed her own
14:49
capture. I just think for
14:52
future... At least that was her first time. Yeah.
14:54
For future tips I don't think they won't. I
14:56
mean I think there are much fewer games that
14:58
don't have crime in them. Why don't you just
15:00
tell us what the fucking game is? Well you
15:02
have one more question and then you can...
15:04
That's the difference between like the godfather and
15:06
like you know like the godfather or GTA.
15:08
Like crime themed game. Yeah. Like heavily reliant.
15:11
Like God of War. Yeah. Like God of
15:13
War. I appreciate everything. Like crimes are being
15:15
committed in God of War but it's not
15:17
a crime themed game. We're not asking for
15:19
technical crimes. We're asking for like overwhelmingly you
15:21
would come away and be like yeah that's
15:23
a bad friend. This is a
15:26
game about criminals or stopping criminals. Yeah.
15:29
But like think of how many games where
15:31
you stop criminals. Okay. Does this game take
15:33
place in the past? No. Is
15:36
that our last question? So not sci-fi. It takes
15:38
place present day. Yeah it's our last question. It's
15:41
a present day game based on somehow
15:43
related to books. That
15:45
wasn't a horrible question though because they made that Pillars of
15:47
the Earth game and a few other historical
15:49
things. Well in all westerns. All
15:52
historical. Like Japanese cool
15:54
games. And all
15:56
that stuff. They
16:01
like want a dream. I can't I can't
16:03
I'm stuck on narrative-based games even though he
16:05
said it wasn't one So yeah, what
16:07
if it's like we should have asked for his man
16:10
Japan But what if it's like a yakuza type game,
16:12
you know or something like from? No,
16:15
those are very crime-based though. I guess Damon did
16:17
say yes All right, like
16:19
head the tip you want to tell us what this game is. All
16:21
right, I can reveal it There's no guess this game is from 2010.
16:24
It was an Xbox 360
16:26
console exclusive although it came to PC
16:29
It is based on Tom Clancy's
16:35
Splinter cell conviction
16:38
and you are stopping criminals. Yeah, definitely
16:40
in this game Shooting
16:44
them in the head when they're not looking This
16:47
one I think this is one where you are you also
16:49
are kind of a criminal like is this the one where
16:51
you're like falsely accused This
16:56
graphics look amazing double agent double Yeah, I love
16:58
so there's this one and then blacklist came after
17:00
it and I love both of these games clancy
17:02
clancy always gets me with the lens There's
17:05
so many of them too. It's a it's you know,
17:07
it's a book license I think at least for us
17:09
is much more ubiquitous in games than it totally. Yeah,
17:11
you know Clancy's not clancy
17:13
made like there's even like an air combat game.
17:15
I think we did. Yeah game Yeah,
17:19
so difficult don't don't quote
17:21
me on this I guess I don't have to say it
17:23
out loud on the show But I think
17:25
that splinter cell was a video game first
17:27
But and then they then they
17:29
made like novels later like I
17:31
think it started as a video game Oh, I
17:33
still has like Tom Clancy's. Yeah, yeah,
17:35
you're brand on it and it's in the Clancy
17:38
verse. Yeah, which is like yeah Spy
17:40
yeah, I guess we could have included 007.
17:43
I didn't think about that either. It could have been a spy
17:45
game. Yeah Anyway
17:47
splinter cell conviction. Thank
17:50
you for the suggestion Andy from Sunbury,
17:52
Pennsylvania Nat
17:58
ladies and gentlemen brings us to Video game
18:00
20 questions. Our suggestion this week comes
18:02
from Ryan Turford. What is
18:05
that medallion? We'll talk about that at the very end.
18:08
Really? You didn't just miss the medallion? That
18:10
was a very thoughtful gift that was sent
18:12
to us. I don't see Mad Libs here
18:14
this year. Ryan Turford sends in our video
18:16
game 20 questions game. Alright, I'm ready. Let
18:20
the questioning begin. Could this
18:22
game have appeared in, what is it, 1996? This issue of EGM.
18:27
It was 1997. It
18:29
could have, probably unlikely though. Got
18:33
it. An old game in other
18:35
words. Did this
18:37
game have, well,
18:40
was this from before 1980? Or was it from 1990? No.
18:44
So, 90 to 97. 90 to 97. Why
18:48
would it have been... We
18:51
always want to pick console. I always want to
18:53
figure console. Did
18:58
we talk about the console in
19:01
this magazine? That's a good
19:03
question. Did we talk about the console that
19:05
this game is on in this magazine? No. Okay.
19:08
That eliminates a lot of the console. Good one, DJ.
19:10
Good one. I mean, this is
19:13
probably a late NES game or just like a
19:15
16-bit game that they're unlikely to be this game.
19:17
Yeah, because now, yeah, we got 90s without 3D.
19:20
Well, you can ask if it's... Yeah,
19:22
go ahead. Yeah, or whatever. Yeah, you
19:24
know, did this game first come out
19:26
on a 16-bit console? No. Was
19:29
this game a cartridge-based game? Yes. That's
19:31
five. Cartridge-based
19:34
game. Not 16-bit. Not 16-bit. So it's either
19:36
late NES. 64 or NES or Game Boy.
19:38
Do we do the handheld yet? Well, it
19:40
can't be 64 because we talked about that
19:42
in the magazine. So it's either handheld or
19:44
NES. Mm-hmm. Or
19:47
Genesis or... Yeah. Sorry, I
19:50
didn't mean that. I mean, Master System or...
19:53
Yeah. And TurboGrafx is 16, so it can't be that... Yep.
19:56
Huh. Neo Geo, I have
19:58
no idea. Yeah. Nobody knows. Um,
20:00
I wanted a Jaguar so bad when I was
20:02
yeah, that marketing worked off Like
20:05
it's more bits. What like that alien. There's
20:07
no argument. So cool-looking That
20:12
eliminates a lot of systems that I mean,
20:14
I don't know how this on the NES
20:16
yes, okay, okay Yeah,
20:22
is this a platformer is this
20:24
a platformer no this game start
20:26
does this game have Yoshi in it no Was
20:29
this based on a license? Yes. All
20:31
right. Okay Late
20:35
NES games are those that fucking As
20:45
warrior woods are like late 90s
20:48
NES games I yeah For
20:51
but it was licensed license game. Is
20:53
this a license based on a movie?
20:56
Yes No, that was always do
20:58
these. I know so there was
21:00
a that was what I was gonna ask
21:02
So so we got like karate kid.
21:04
Yeah Wars, I think
21:07
it's too early the last starfighter. I Like
21:10
I'm trying to think about licensed games. I play Back
21:12
to the Future on the NES. Yeah Home
21:15
Alone I was alone alone home alone
21:17
Really guys if we just mention every
21:19
movie we can think of then we can
21:22
ask if we mentioned the game yet
21:24
Gremlins to also Christmas. There's only Gremlins one Christmas.
21:27
Yeah, Christmas one is exactly what I was thinking
21:29
of Home Alone Yeah, Gremlins to
21:32
I don't know but Gremlins is a Christmas game. I
21:34
think Gremlins to is as well Well, I don't even
21:37
remember if there's a Gremlins. There's not even a Gremlins
21:39
game. There's just Gremlins to anyway We
21:41
also back to the future games.
21:43
We got Ghostbusters games. All right,
21:45
right does is this game? Um Based
21:51
on a good movie. Yes Wow
21:53
have we mentioned the movie yet? No Eliminates
21:59
a lot of That eliminates all that
22:01
garbage. Oh, but it was a
22:03
good movie. So there's some
22:05
weird ones like Batman toxic Avengers
22:08
Based on toxic of a trusted crusaders. I
22:11
think yeah Batman. There you go. Avengers. Yeah,
22:13
Batman I feel like
22:15
we had this on 20 questions a few years ago, but
22:17
that soon Batman 89 You
22:19
know the movie came out in 89, but the
22:21
game didn't come out till after it was later.
22:24
Yeah, Ninja Turtles ninja
22:26
Oh cartoon more
22:28
than a movie What
22:30
was the movie though? Did this game have
22:32
sequels? No
22:35
or after it no no no, not Ninja Turtles
22:37
not bad man could be Batman You know Batman
22:39
has that man's sequel to return
22:41
to the Joker's Okay,
22:44
sorry was that question we talk about
22:46
the franchise movies had had But the movies in
22:48
the time or from way below the hold on
22:50
you didn't ask if the movie has sequels Yes,
22:53
the game at the game has sequels. Yeah, the game does not
22:55
have a sequel Okay. Well game doesn't you might
22:57
need I think that cuz Batman the game has sequels
23:03
That eyebrow says that he knows Oh
23:08
Man, but it was good That
23:11
as a movie was good. Well, I know I'm not sitting
23:13
the game is good But that's what I'm trying to think
23:15
of like good movie IP set. No, I'm thinking I mean
23:18
I didn't ever play like a Terminator game or
23:20
predator game. They probably existed they did both
23:23
those exist Well Terminator
23:25
what became a different game called journey
23:27
to silliest We don't we don't
23:29
know what type of game it was.
23:32
We got platformer eliminated. What did he eliminate? He
23:34
eliminated platformer. Well, yeah, it's really interesting. Yeah, he
23:36
did. I know the second question Does that mean
23:38
it can't be Batman? Yeah a bunch of games.
23:40
Oh That's
23:43
really interesting. Yeah, I was wondering maybe the only thing
23:45
I can think of is like an arcade shooter or
23:47
something like well There's racing games like days of thunder.
23:49
I was gonna do there is why are
23:52
you laughing? He's got
23:54
a pretty good poker face. I'm trying to break him
23:56
here We say the movie was good or the games
23:58
with the movies were good movie sidebars Yeah, do
24:00
you consider days of thunder a
24:02
good movie? Okay It's
24:06
really weird to have a movie based game without
24:08
sequels. It's not a platformer I mean that's all
24:10
exactly but I think Damon wouldn't classify a shooter
24:12
as that so like a Rambo style I'm a
24:15
movie licensed game. That's not a platformer on the
24:17
NES right because all those games Yeah, we're platformers.
24:19
I was even thinking Friday the 13th. I was
24:21
like an RPG Or a
24:24
game last action hero Oh should
24:26
we ask if it's an animated movie like maybe
24:28
something by Disney versus? We didn't
24:31
mention any not many of those I don't mind that it's not Is
24:34
it an animated movie based on an is it
24:36
based on an animated movie? No Rule
24:39
all those out. That's really good. See I like that Wow,
24:42
man See I want
24:45
to ask does this have the best title screen ever because it
24:47
probably does It's all
24:49
it had Does this
24:51
game is this game about you know shooting guns?
24:54
Yes. Okay. That helps me.
24:56
That's 15. That's how plot it's not
24:58
a platformer. Oh I
25:02
Don't know like I didn't play you know, I'm outside
25:04
of my depth on this boy already did that have
25:06
we mentioned the game? Yeah, but that was really we
25:08
could ask if who the movie star like is it
25:10
is so that's just a long movie Yeah,
25:12
that would be die hard That
25:15
would that's a Christmas game at a Christmas
25:17
movie. Was there a die-hard game on it?
25:19
Yes, there is there was There's a glass
25:21
meter for your feet. There was a dope
25:23
ass die-hard arcade game. Mm-hmm. But die-hard is
25:25
about shooting, right? I Didn't
25:27
play the game. I mean think it think of all the
25:30
games on there that are platformers Is this I just can't
25:32
think of any other is this a
25:34
game based off a movie that stars Bruce Willis?
25:36
Well Always
25:38
smiling. Yes It
25:40
is They
25:44
can make sense because it's Christmas right? Yeah, that's
25:46
a good point. Okay, so it does this game
25:48
have a glass meter Yes, is
25:51
it die hard on the NES? It is die. Nice All
25:54
right, go with your gut. That's the thing
25:56
nicely done. I thought about down. What's it
25:58
gonna be the Christmas? Yeah, yeah,
26:00
it's a top-down shooter. We
26:03
have to create a level of the skyscraper the terrorists and
26:05
move up to the next I know that game from my
26:07
video game nerd Yeah, and yes, that's
26:10
a great title screen because it's just a digit
26:12
digitized version of the movie poster of like the
26:14
VHS art Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Nice. Not you told
26:16
me plaza on it and that's right on the
26:19
cut. That's 1990 really 88
26:23
yeah Wow, what a that's what a weird time in which
26:25
games were like we gotta play out more games This
26:28
is possible. Do you think it was an arcade
26:30
game first? I had no Version
26:33
it did come. I think there was a die-hard arcade
26:35
game, but now look that up not that version Published
26:38
by Activision. Yes, but the developer I
26:40
have to look it up. It was
26:42
a Japanese developer called pack in video
26:45
Whoa, that's crazy. I'm glad we didn't
26:47
game. Don't We
26:49
dodged that bullet man Activision. I mean once you
26:51
eliminate platformer That is a lot of games gone
26:53
in that area, right? Yeah, like I remember it
26:56
being top-down, but I couldn't have told you much
26:58
more about it besides the glass meter But I
27:00
own it and I've played it. That's really I was
27:02
hoping you would you would find out it was a Bruce Willis
27:04
game And then nothing end up thinking it was Hudson Hawk. Yeah
27:08
You know what the weirdest game from that era that
27:11
from a movie was was the untouchables Any
27:15
game Roger Abbott Platoon
27:18
is really mentioned platoon It's like a totally
27:20
adult movie that that they made for a
27:23
I was thinking of Roger Rabbit We're talking
27:25
I have a vivid memory of playing that
27:27
game and just being confused and angry. I'm
27:29
like six years old I don't know what's
27:31
going on. No, I'm speaking of confused and
27:33
angry dude that game. Yeah, it's so opaque
27:35
I rented a game, but the Days of Thunder
27:38
was in it when I was a kid Something
27:41
else they gave you the wrong game. So for the whole
27:43
weekend. I had like the worst
27:45
racing game So bad,
27:47
that's so disappointing a Dick Tracy to
27:49
turn the other one we were way
27:52
we're my yeah, Tracy I think Tracy
27:54
now would have been that one. Yeah,
27:56
which one Dick Tracy. Yeah based
27:58
on the movie Yeah,
28:00
that was a big deal so bad. Yeah, I
28:02
was Madonna's in that movie. Yeah, it's
28:04
big Tracy Is that right? Is that how much he
28:06
knows and it's a radio? documentary
28:09
and it's also The
28:11
old-timey one. Yeah. Yeah, it's
28:13
pretty what's the fate. What's the guest face to the
28:15
dumb dick Tracy values? I always think of him as
28:17
good. It was like Al Pacino. I played him in
28:19
there. So what's that? I want
28:22
to say it's like shoe face or just
28:24
something. Yeah, really bad I Warren
28:27
Beatty played Dick Tracy. That's a pretty good cast.
28:30
That's right All right, before
28:32
we go. I want to give a shout out
28:34
to our listener Clark Petrie I hope I'm pronouncing
28:36
that right. He wrote in he's in the military.
28:38
He's career military He
28:41
wanted to show his appreciation for the show, but
28:44
he says it's important to explain the military has
28:46
significant restrictions on gift-giving So
28:48
they came up with the idea of these coins
28:50
that they issue. I guess they're two specific soldiers
28:52
Is that how we're like or members of the
28:54
military? Is that how you understand it? It sounds
28:56
like they can do we have a long history
28:58
of challenge coins being fair game for exchange And
29:01
a culture as rigid as ours coins are an
29:03
area where total freedom of creation exists almost around
29:05
and about the size of a poker Chip some
29:07
are of incredible shapes sizes and artistry. So
29:10
he says I
29:13
regret being able to shake your hands hand it
29:15
to you in person. I hope both of you
29:17
would accept my personal coin I'm presently serving as
29:19
a commanding officer one side has that title
29:22
My rank and name along with the
29:24
commanding officer ashore insignia the other is
29:26
part of teddy Teddy Roosevelt's famous man
29:28
in the arena quote Something I found
29:30
inspiration from my entire life Clark.
29:32
That's very very very cool. So cool. Yeah,
29:34
it's very cool. Very thoughtful We're lucky enough
29:36
in this line of work that we just
29:38
get cool things in the mail sometimes and
29:40
this is definitely up there as Never
29:43
a honored and blessed and
29:45
very thankful that you know, we're able
29:47
to bring people so much You know
29:49
sort of joy in entertainment and it
29:51
really Meant a lot to
29:53
me personally to see that letter coming in awesome.
29:55
Yeah. Thanks for service. It's great. Thank you here
30:03
Our suggestion this week comes from John
30:06
in Baltimore and would you believe it
30:08
he provided two options one
30:10
for normal mode one for hard mode. I don't
30:12
like this I don't like those just why you
30:15
don't like that you have to choose oh
30:18
because it takes the pressure off of you choosing
30:20
and this is like your one job every week
30:22
this is my one job. We
30:27
have no barometer for what heart normal is. All
30:29
right you both know we do hard we don't
30:31
ever get. Well then
30:33
I choose normal when playing
30:35
normal mode. I play on normal because that's what the that's
30:37
what most players would play. That's true. That's
30:40
what a credit should. Yeah. Yeah. All
30:42
right we're playing on normal mode. Let the questioning begin. Was
30:45
the hard game from before. Like
30:50
I do this all the time you guys need to start asking. Did
30:53
this game come out. You got to get the ball roll. Did this
30:55
game come out after January 1st 1990? No.
30:59
And not after. Oh no. Guys it's fine.
31:01
We're beyond. Sam take it away. It's a
31:03
normal mode 80 game. That's easy. The point
31:05
is that Sam take it away. Is
31:09
it Oregon Trail? Is
31:12
this a spooky game. Yes. This
31:15
is a game to have great music. No.
31:19
I don't think that was
31:21
definitive that was. That's
31:23
great. Is this based on a license? No.
31:26
Ooh. Does
31:28
this have monsters in it? Yes. That's
31:31
five. Is it on NES? Yes.
31:33
Is it a monster in the title? Yes.
31:36
What? Is it monster party? Yes. All
31:40
right should we do the hard ones? Is that a
31:42
record or? That's not a record. That was eight questions.
31:44
What's a record for me just only asking new questions.
31:47
I asked the first question. She got the ball roll.
31:49
I think you really helped. That's definitely a Janet record.
31:51
If she if she said. This is the fastest she's
31:53
ever got a 20 question. Yeah. If
31:55
she said. We would
31:57
have gone down this crazy rabbit hole monster party. Mark
32:00
and Janet ever heard of Monster Party? I
32:02
don't think so. No. It
32:04
has bad music. I knew what it was when Damon said
32:06
that about the NES game. What's wrong with the music? I
32:08
don't know. I tried to play it the
32:10
other day and it was just kind of dull. It's probably
32:12
unremarkable. You get the inchworm in that game. You do get
32:15
to do that. Go in your stomach and then you go
32:17
across like this. It's a platformer. It's a
32:19
bad platformer with monsters. Published by
32:21
Bandai. Do you know who developed it? They're no
32:23
longer in business. They're called,
32:25
I think, human entertainment. Yes,
32:27
human. I disagree
32:30
that it's a bad game. I actually think it's fun. I'm
32:33
going to go with fun. But is it good?
32:35
Yeah. It's going to be fun and bad. I think
32:37
it might be fun and bad. But
32:41
it's playable. Let me just
32:43
say that you fight a wishing well that shoots money at
32:45
you in this game as one of the monsters. You
32:48
fight a fried food
32:50
frequently as one of the monsters. Fried
32:53
food? Like onion rings. Oh,
32:55
okay. Good legs. That sounds like my real life.
32:58
You know what a crazy fun fact about this
33:00
game is? Considering how weird the game is in
33:02
that it was developed in Japan, published by Bandai,
33:05
not released in Japan. Really?
33:07
Isn't that insane? I feel like Americans are
33:09
going to love this game. You know what?
33:12
I don't think the kids here are going to like it. Yeah.
33:16
Cool. That was crazy. Are
33:18
you doing hard mode? Sure. Okay.
33:21
Janet, take it away. Do you guys know? Did this
33:23
game come out? Let's reset. Alright. We're
33:25
now in hard mode. I get to take this off.
33:27
20 questions, new game plus. Sam's
33:32
getting ready. You get to keep
33:34
all the stuff you earned in the first round.
33:36
Cool. First playthrough. That's
33:38
really great. Did this game come out after
33:40
January 1, 1990? Yes. Cool.
33:44
Now we're on the board. Well, hold
33:46
on. Hold on. The
33:48
most popular version of this game did. But
33:53
this game straddles, the release of straddles the
33:55
year 1990. Wow.
33:59
Across multiple platforms. NES? Yes. That's
34:01
one of the platforms? Yeah. Good. Uh,
34:05
boy. Okay. Is this a
34:07
spooky game? Yes. Is it based on a
34:09
license? No. Did
34:11
this game come out for
34:13
multiple consoles? Uh,
34:18
I mean... He already
34:20
answered that. No. Does this have sequels? No.
34:23
That's five. Okay. Standalone,
34:26
90s game that was ported
34:28
to the NES. Did this
34:30
have a PC release? Yes. Oh, boy. Is
34:32
it a platformer? That really narrows it down,
34:34
actually. Is it a platformer? No. Spooky,
34:39
PC game that
34:42
came to the NES that's very obscure.
34:44
Is it a point and click
34:47
adventure game? Yes. Oh, we got
34:49
this. Yeah. So is it... The one where
34:51
you can microwave the mouse or whatever? No.
34:53
It's not that one. Because we had that
34:55
like two times before. That's one of Damon's
34:57
favorite games. But
34:59
I think it's a game called like Deadly Towers
35:01
or Dark Towers or something. Deadly Towers? I think
35:03
so. But we can eliminate
35:05
that one if you want. What's it called? It's
35:08
called... Maniac Mansion. Does
35:11
this game have good music? It's
35:14
totally... He loves the Maniac Mansion music. The music
35:16
in this game is not particularly good. I
35:20
think it's this point and click adventure called Deadly Tower, but I'm
35:22
probably wrong about that because I just don't know the name of
35:25
it. I'm never going to get it because I can like see
35:27
this game, but I'm never going to get it. So
35:29
that's okay. Oh
35:31
no, there's also Shadowrun. But I don't know if
35:33
that's spooky. I
35:36
don't know how to narrow this stuff down. Is
35:39
Shadowrun... Oh God. Have
35:42
we mentioned this game yet? No.
35:44
Okay, good. That's ten. Is
35:49
it Princess Tomato and the Salad Kingdom? Are
35:51
you guessing that? Because if you're wrong, you lose. Oh yeah,
35:54
that's true. Can't do that. I
35:57
think I might have to go with that as a joke answer because I don't
35:59
think I'll be able to do that. I'm available to name the PC first
36:02
person point and click adventure on NES that this
36:04
is because I can't picture playing it or what
36:06
the box art would be. Yeah, I wouldn't know.
36:09
I thought it was me. Let me go into my mind palace. Keep
36:11
asking questions. Okay. Hard mode.
36:13
Can I go into Sam's mind palace? Ask
36:16
about genre and monsters and side effects. We already
36:18
know that the point and click event. No, no,
36:20
no, no, the spookiness. Okay. The side
36:22
effect game is at a horror game. Okay, let's see. So
36:25
are there any universal monsters in the game?
36:31
No. Okay. So no, you
36:34
know, Dracula's that kind of deal. Frankenstein
36:38
monsters. So it's a really
36:40
good question. Let's
36:42
see. Let's see. Let's
36:44
see. Is this
36:47
a medieval set game? No. Okay.
36:51
Well, Sam's that is my belt. I gotta
36:54
go into my own mind. Paz is about
36:56
murder. No. I
37:00
think I know what you're going after with that one. Okay, good. About
37:03
murder, like about a murder. That's what you mean?
37:05
No, it's not. Huh.
37:09
Yeah. I would never
37:11
get it because I don't know any point
37:13
in clicking adventure games. Is this set in
37:15
like contemporary times? Yeah,
37:19
I think so. For when
37:21
it was released, I think so. Yeah,
37:23
so at least in, it wasn't like in the
37:26
distant past. Might
37:28
have been a couple decades in the past, but.
37:31
Yeah. Did
37:33
we do we ask the sequel question? Yeah,
37:36
it's the only game in the franchise. Yeah.
37:43
Yeah, I feel like I'm just right on the edge
37:45
of this one. Oh, yeah. It's like, was this a
37:47
Nintendo power cover, Dina? No,
37:49
no, it's not that level away. Yeah.
37:52
And that is 15. I
38:03
said he wanted something spooky. I
38:05
don't know man. Is this zombie
38:07
themed? Not
38:10
zombie themed, no. Can't
38:13
think of a... Does
38:17
this have skeletons in it? Yes.
38:20
That's 17. Wait, there. Man,
38:25
I would go with Ghoul School, but that's a platformer. Man,
38:29
a cool Halloween game. It's terrible. It's a terrible
38:31
game. Is this
38:33
the company that made this still around? No.
38:37
Not the developer. The
38:40
developer is no longer with us. Spooky.
38:42
They're the skeletons. Man,
38:46
it's got skeletons in it. You have a question and a
38:48
guess. That's pretty cool. You might even say...
38:50
All games have skeletons in them. You might even say there's
38:52
a skeleton on the box art. Yeah, that's what I was
38:54
thinking, but now I still can't think of the game. No
38:57
idea. Now
39:00
I'm just picturing a case with a skeleton on it. I
39:03
don't know where else to go with this. Do
39:06
you shoot a gun in this game? No.
39:09
No. Okay. Ready
39:12
to give up the ghost? Yeah. Uninvited.
39:15
Oh yeah. Nope. The NES.
39:18
Stupid game. Oh,
39:20
a haunted house theme. That's cool. In the
39:22
same family of games as not Shadowrun, Shadowgate.
39:26
Shadowgate. Being one of my favorite games of all time.
39:28
And also there's a trilogy of games on the NES.
39:30
Shadowgate Deja Vu, which is the murder mystery
39:32
one. That's on the cover of Nintendo Power.
39:35
And then... That's where I was
39:37
going with that. Uninvited. It has a
39:39
spooky skeleton on the cover. Okay. So
39:41
it's a haunted house so there's skeletons. Okay.
39:44
Yeah. Developed by ICOM software. ICOM. But,
39:47
post by Kimco, which is still around. Really?
39:50
What are they doing? They probably do some
39:54
Japanese medieval fighting
39:56
games or something. So who does this reader
39:58
get to add? It's
40:01
not me because I won. You
40:03
won normal mode but not hard mode. Fine,
40:06
you can have me. That's John from Baltimore. All
40:08
right, John. And that brings
40:10
us to video game 20 questions.
40:18
Our suggestion this week comes from
40:20
Jeff Binson in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.
40:23
Just for mechanics. He
40:26
says, I love games group and I can say
40:28
it is directly responsible for me getting into podcasts.
40:31
It is still my favorite podcast of all
40:33
and it makes mowing my lawn, shoveling my
40:35
driveway and other terrible outdoor chores less terrible.
40:37
Thanks for letting me hang out with a group of game
40:39
junkies for an hour or so every week. Jeff,
40:42
you're more than welcome. Let
40:44
the questioning begin. Do
40:47
you play as a human? I
40:50
think so. I
40:53
think so. Well, in the end of a
40:55
wobble, you get turned into a human. Is
40:57
that true? I think they're dragons. Let us make
40:59
a journey to the cave of Monf. Well, okay,
41:01
you're right. But I mean, they I was just
41:04
joking with. Okay. Yeah, no, they
41:06
did. They do become boys and it's a joke.
41:08
No, the dragon. Oh, you're taking me out of
41:10
real roller coaster here, Sam. The
41:12
war of bubble. We've had this exact conversation before. Is that true? No.
41:16
Okay. Board meeting. Is this from
41:18
before 1990? I don't
41:20
know. I don't know. I don't
41:23
know. I don't know. I don't know. I
41:25
don't know. I don't know. Before
41:28
1990, the game was not released before
41:30
1990. Okay. Was
41:32
this game released before 2000? No.
41:35
Okay. Okay. Ooh.
41:41
Is this a game released on
41:44
multiple platforms? No. Ooh. Okay.
41:47
Nice. Is this on Nintendo platforms or
41:50
a Nintendo platform? Yes. Okay. Five?
41:54
So after 2000. Yeah.
41:56
So GameCube or later?
41:58
Yeah. So many do
42:00
we want to narrow it down to councilman yeah hand-held
42:02
or yeah or year yeah I
42:07
don't know how to do it is this a
42:09
GameCube exclusive. Yes. Oh boy Is
42:12
it finally gonna be Zach and wiki yeah,
42:14
that's a wee exclusive. That's a wee game. Yeah,
42:16
right Okay, wait
42:19
GameCube is this game made by Nintendo? Define
42:22
made by is this game published by
42:24
Nintendo yes That
42:27
question would make me think though develops. Maybe they
42:29
published it in those develops by did Capcom
42:32
self-published like PNO 3 and those games
42:34
the Capcom 5 or did Nintendo publish
42:36
them I Don't
42:38
know. There's that I mean we go a lot of ways of
42:40
this. Yeah, you know three Well,
42:44
that's a good one to keep in mind though, is this like a space
42:47
Style sci-fi because it's a
42:50
futuristic game. No I Was
42:54
the reason I asked that by the way is because he was
42:56
a little ambiguous about what he plays a human So I'm like
42:58
maybe you're a robot of some kind of
43:00
chibi Robo for instance. Yeah, I don't know does
43:03
this game have sequels No, okay
43:07

Rules and restrictions

46:34
GameCube Game Without Sequels, published
46:36
by Nintendo. Oh
46:39
boy. But him asking for clarification about Made
46:41
By makes me think there may be a
46:43
wrinkle in there. Is this
46:45
game a platformer? No. Okay.
46:48
That's 10. I don't know about those Capcom games, but
46:51
they sound like, it's not, I
46:53
mean, it's not any of those, unless it's, we just say,
46:55
was this made by Capcom? Well,
46:58
no. That would never have done
47:00
it. The only, like, it was Resident
47:02
Evil, Beautiful Joe, and PNO3. I
47:04
mean, no, it's not PNO3. Well, there's Killer7. Yeah,
47:07
there was the Capcom Five. And Killer7, but Killer7, you play as
47:09
a person. Yeah, but one of them didn't come out. Yeah, I
47:11
knew it was the other one. Right,
47:13
right, I forgot about that. Not
47:16
a platformer, we just found out, that's
47:18
good. Is it like a fantasy or
47:20
medieval themed game? I
47:23
don't think you would call it that. I'm
47:26
still, mm. Well, you
47:29
wouldn't call it that. I don't
47:31
think so. Going on. What
47:35
about the various RPGs and
47:37
stuff on? Yeah, did
47:39
they publish, they might have published, they might have
47:41
published that in Kaitos. Oh,
47:43
yeah, that's not a bad guy. Is this an
47:45
RPG? No. All right. So
47:48
it's not an RPG, not a platformer. What
47:51
other GameCube genres were popular?
47:53
I mean, GameCube was my jam back then.
47:56
It was my lead console back then. Yeah, I'm just trying to
47:58
think of my library, you know? Like what game? Was
48:01
this game developed in Japan?
48:05
Yes. Yeah,
48:08
maybe we should do developer then because it
48:10
could still be like killing. It
48:13
doesn't sound like it's Nintendo EID but it could
48:15
be one of their... And
48:18
we said Nintendo didn't develop it. They
48:21
had something close to developers. Oh,
48:24
like second party. It's
48:27
internal but like when Sega
48:29
made F0 or Star
48:31
Fox. Is this a
48:33
multiplayer? No.
48:35
It's not like WarioWare or any of those.
48:39
No. We
48:41
have six questions. We
48:43
were doing so well and now it's all on a part.
48:48
So single player. Single player, not a
48:51
platformer. No sequels. No
48:53
sequels, not an RPG. Who's
48:57
producing the show today? Mitchell? Yeah. Mitchell,
49:00
do you have any questions we should ask? Yes.
49:05
That didn't count as his question. Yeah, I'm
49:07
still in business. Japanese
49:11
developer. Is Billy Hatcher a
49:13
platformer? Oh boy. I know.
49:16
Making Nintendo publish it? Say
49:18
it was a publisher then. Yeah. I
49:21
think it's unlikely Nintendo published it. I was
49:23
thinking that. I would also call that a
49:25
platformer. Yeah, that's my thing too. Yeah. Well,
49:27
so we did clarify. It's also very unclear
49:29
whether that weird boy is a human or
49:31
not. Exactly. So there is
49:33
that. Yeah. Nintendo did publish this, you said. Yes.
49:37
Right. Okay. No.
49:41
There's no multiplayer in this. Yeah. That
49:43
kind of narrows it down. It would have been, there
49:45
was the F0. Not fantasy themed, not
49:47
sci-fi themed. What about Pac-Man? No, that was
49:49
multiplayer. I was going to say the Pac-Man games. Was there a
49:51
game that came with a weird microphone peripheral? It
49:56
was Odama. Yeah. I mean.
49:59
Odama's good. On.
50:01
The maria parties came with that. He'll be
50:03
two thousand developed hours me anyway because use
50:05
any as if he gets you get earning
50:07
is a Pokemon games yeah Published by Nintendo.
50:11
Yeah, I've I mean yeah, you do. I put
50:13
them on Xd Gale gender that knows it could
50:15
be yeah, seriously and know yeah, that's very bad.
50:18
Or. Blue Ocean. Was on on. It
50:20
was blue. I thought that was we. And.
50:23
The So Navy Endless Ocean so it's own
50:25
answer to the a blue Ocean as their
50:27
roster has. yeah theres emphasis feather the and
50:29
that came against discuss. Negative
50:32
we want to tread narrow down to the specifics.
50:34
We hims ask if there's pokemon and a and
50:36
that would help but that was a question or
50:38
what it what about I'm do you collect. Ah,
50:42
I mean it's help with anything. Yeah,
50:45
are you human and that in yeah,
50:47
your pokemon trainer and Pokemon Xd? So
50:49
am I allowed that? Oh.
50:53
That's the tricky thing right? If not, develop
50:55
antennas. Definitely published by Nintendo. Yeah. Movies as
50:57
you do play the human or you don't
50:59
said he thinks you do without using either.
51:01
Yes, I mean you're playing as a pokemon
51:03
trainer centrally, but it is not the same
51:06
as like a pokemon rpg. It's like lately,
51:08
different. You know my capture them yell extreme
51:10
Pokemon Yeah, I'm. That's. An option
51:12
I think Damas honestly an often yeah like
51:14
I'm travel now I mean you play as
51:16
like a commander and you're like it's pinball
51:18
game is no Seattle yeah I wouldn't signatures
51:20
the of that other as since he said
51:23
it's not like fantasy or medieval seemed like
51:25
its advil I don't know intend to publish
51:27
that. I think they probably did. I
51:29
don't recall. I think there were two how and
51:31
when Xd games and even as a Maid or.our
51:33
Cats letter. If there's no sequel, there are there.
51:35
I believe that were to. Erm
51:37
against game user a weird gimmicky
51:39
peripheral. Yes, Ah, digits,
51:42
you will have a peek at
51:44
you and yeah no that was.
51:46
And sixty four? Oh yeah yeah
51:49
her. ah. How
51:51
many what we have done for Crush or
51:53
made it and bolland it? Yes, it's it.
51:55
Adama, Yes. furtive
51:58
i guess i wouldn't think of that game is like fantasy
52:00
game because I thought it was like a war
52:02
yeah it's like fantasy shogunate
52:06
yeah but is it like actual historical
52:08
or a fantasy like there are monsters
52:10
well I mean it's really pinball with
52:12
the face like yeah yeah I think
52:16
fantasy I think like Skyrim yeah I don't know
52:18
commies I mean I actually played yeah am I
52:20
the only one did any no I played a
52:22
dumb I know I did not I didn't I
52:24
don't didn't played it I still have it and
52:26
as a microphone it's clear yep you click on
52:28
your yeah and then and then it like works it
52:31
works like 90% of the time which
52:33
is amazing that it works that often but it
52:35
works infrequently enough that like it's just a chore
52:37
and a pain to play and yeah that was
52:40
2006 for GameCube
52:42
like right at the end of
52:44
yeah very April 2006 six months
52:46
before the we would be released
52:48
Nintendo published it yeah and you
52:50
know it was the aquarium which
52:52
is the studio that made semen
52:54
semen for Dreamcat yeah but they've
52:56
been like
52:59
they like merge with another developer and have a different
53:01
also that's another tricky question yeah good work Jonathan
53:03
yeah did they am I imagining
53:05
did I make up that they're kick-starting a
53:07
new semen or do weren't they teasing on
53:09
Twitter there was some bad yeah I
53:12
might have just been would you be interested if another semen happened
53:14
I'm gonna look it up after yeah sure
53:18
IGN gave Odama 6.5 but
53:21
then at the game of the
53:23
year awards that year they gave it like the
53:25
innovative game award hmm yeah that's cool
53:27
6 5 I would probably be
53:29
a flat six it was okay a
53:32
for man I'm just thinking April 2006 is the month I was
53:35
hired yeah do you remember it coming into the office
53:37
I was you remember the big day I spent a
53:39
couple months working from home in
53:41
Chicago okay I did the same but yeah
53:43
it was IGN Nintendo maybe out of LA
53:46
then to probably yes actually no
53:48
they were there because gas machine and both
53:50
are both down there and Craig was up
53:52
here yeah yeah I'm
53:54
glad you guys got there cuz I
53:56
would have felt terrible yeah the fantasy
53:58
question had Turns out we
54:00
all have personal experiences with Thomas. Who knew?
54:03
Yeah. I
54:07
pulled out a little note that I received in
54:09
the mail along with another little
54:12
clicker. This is the second one I received
54:14
in the mail. This is intended for counting
54:16
video game 20 questions. Does
54:19
it have a window in it? Yeah.
54:21
So this comes from Kenton in Michigan.
54:23
And he says, Hi, Damon. I've been enjoying
54:25
the show for years since I got back into
54:27
gaming. My favorite segment is 20 questions. Every
54:29
episode I think you should have one of these.
54:32
And that's kind of you. Like
54:34
I said, someone else sent me this before and I
54:36
used it. And I got a lot of feedback that people
54:38
missed the fingers. People have come to
54:40
expect me to be counting questions on my fingers.
54:42
Well, didn't your wife say that counting on your
54:45
fingers looks stupid too? I'm
54:47
sorry? Didn't your wife say at one point that counting on
54:49
your fingers looks down so you can do it? Yeah. But
54:51
then the viewers, the people, that
54:53
really matter with this show, they like me counting
54:55
on my fingers. Game scoop, not wife scoop. Yeah.
54:58
So Kenton, for
55:01
you, since you were kind enough to send me this, I'll
55:03
use this one time. And then in the new year, 2018,
55:06
I'll probably go back to counting on my fingers. We can see
55:08
how we appeal. And we set up a new counter cam just
55:10
for this. You know about that, right,
55:12
TJ? Yeah. Let's bring up the counter
55:15
cam. He just ran to me.
55:19
Oh, God. Oh, God. No, no, no. Kenton
55:21
also gives us our 20 questions
55:23
suggestion this week. Let
55:25
the questioning begin. Okay.
55:28
Does your character wear a hat? Does
55:30
your character wear a hat? Dammit. I really
55:32
do need to start looking at the hat. Because
55:34
you always look up the hands question and then...
55:37
I'm going to say, I'm going to say, first,
55:39
I'll count your question. I'm
55:42
going to say yes, but it might be controversial.
55:45
No. What? Are
55:48
you going to have to ask the functional hat question? No, I
55:50
don't want to get out of the functional hat question. But it
55:52
might be controversial. That
55:54
makes me think of one immediate thing, but I don't want
55:56
to. Is it Captain Toad? That was exactly what I thought.
56:00
Because it would be controversial, I mean. Well,
56:02
he has a hat and the head. And the
56:04
head. But some people don't want to believe that.
56:07
There's some mixed cannon about whether the toad
56:09
is... Is the mushroom part
56:11
of his head or is it a hat?
56:13
Yeah, is there a vascular system inside there
56:16
carrying blood throughout his mushroom head?
56:19
Alright, let's move on. Sam
56:25
here. Well, we know so far. I think it probably
56:27
works. Is this from before 1990? Was
56:30
this released before the year 1990? No. Okay.
56:36
Sounds like it came out in 1990. Was
56:39
this released before the year 2000? Yes. Okay.
56:43
Was this released on the
56:45
16-bit consoles? No. You
56:48
like it? You're
56:51
coming around on the clicker. Yeah. I've
56:54
got a little new dimension here. So that means,
56:56
Sam, I think you're probably right. I think it's probably a
56:58
late 8-bit game. But we can... Oh, it
57:00
was not 16-bit. I love that. So it's either later
57:02
or earlier? I was like, yeah. I don't know why.
57:05
It's either later or it can't be
57:07
right on the dot. Is
57:09
this a... Was
57:12
this on an Nintendo system? Yes. Okay.
57:15
That's nice. So
57:17
you're thinking it was earlier. My
57:19
brain immediately went to like N64. Go for it. It
57:23
wasn't on an Nintendo system... It's not on Super
57:25
Nintendo. No. So it's either
57:27
on Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo 64, Virtual
57:29
Boy... Or NES. Or
57:32
NES. Was this a handheld game? No. Okay.
57:36
Was this an NES game? No. So
57:38
that's the N64? This
57:40
is the 3D game? Yes. Okay.
57:44
You like the clicker. That
57:46
would have been all the questions we just... What
57:48
question are we on? You've asked
57:50
eight questions so far. Okay. N64
57:53
game. Was
57:56
this game developed by Nintendo? No. Maybe
58:04
it was published by Nintendo. Nah. I
58:07
mean it does look like, I don't think you would do
58:09
it two weeks in a row, but it was like, it
58:11
could be like a Pokemon Snap situation. Yeah, totally. Was
58:14
this critically acclaimed? Critically
58:19
acclaimed. Give me a bar. It's like, what would,
58:21
what would, what score? Do you know the score?
58:23
What score would a game have to get in your eyes
58:26
for it to be critically acclaimed? Eight or better. Eight
58:30
or better. That's what I would have said too. It
58:34
would be right around the low end of that
58:36
critically acclaimed. Maybe
58:39
moderately critically reviewed. Clarifying
58:42
question. He clicked two for that too.
58:44
After all that debate. I said, did
58:47
Nintendo develop this game? Would
58:49
you have counted Rare games in that, in
58:51
that bucket? If
58:54
this, if this game were developed by
58:57
Rare and you asked me, did Nintendo
58:59
develop this game? I
59:01
would have said no. But Nintendo owned Rare. Nintendo
59:04
Rare was Nintendo. I
59:06
can see where David's coming from. Yeah, it's a good
59:09
way to approach the attitude towards the game. Developing things
59:11
on its own. Did Nintendo make Donkey
59:13
Kong Country Tropical Freeze? I
59:16
don't know. Retro made that
59:18
game. Did Nintendo make like, like Metroid
59:21
Prime? If Retro developed Donkey
59:23
Kong Country Tropical Freeze and you
59:25
asked me the question, did Nintendo make this game?
59:27
I would say no. Oh, I protest. So,
59:30
did you just want to ask Rare then? Yeah,
59:33
well, we asked ten questions, by the way.
59:36
I don't know. I'm halfway there.
59:38
Kind of. Does this game have a third person
59:40
camera? Uh, so
59:42
you've already asked if it's a 3D game. Yeah. Now
59:45
you're asking if it has a third person camera. Yes. I
59:48
guess it has. Not Goldeneye or Perfect Dark. Or
59:51
a puzzle game. Yeah. Or A
59:53
puzzle game. I Don't understand what perspective puzzle games
59:55
are played from. That's a good point. We should
59:57
bring back the Mario, Dr. Mario debate right now.
1:00:00
Goodness Gracious. I'll
1:00:02
just ask, is this game developed
1:00:05
by Rare? Yes, know so far
1:00:07
sooner. Rather. Ah, So it's
1:00:09
wow that is controversial. So some of
1:00:11
my anchor has of I've had to
1:00:13
use assess have some I've had one
1:00:16
as we've established and dance to high
1:00:18
school. Of
1:00:20
as a that could be a low
1:00:22
had a secret on your nerves the
1:00:24
hadn't bedroom as if you know usually
1:00:26
as party I think he's thinking of
1:00:28
Kazoo is the hat now but she's
1:00:30
will of the backpacker okay I mean
1:00:32
knowing it's a rare game items Jemima
1:00:34
So as and Aca has Suzette Four
1:00:36
Seven I yeah there's Blast Core. I'm
1:00:39
sending of the lesser know is right for
1:00:41
rare. Yeah, Ma'am. And
1:00:43
I was in his Donkey Kong and
1:00:45
Diageo mail. Young sixty has increased two
1:00:47
thousand says to him business owners good
1:00:49
point and. So.
1:00:52
Can be earlier this rare and out
1:00:54
and I can't be conquer either that
1:00:56
too late you think? you don't ask?
1:01:00
Do you play as a bear? Know.
1:01:05
Except for you do know that one of the drivers and blast
1:01:07
for as a bare. Themselves. sort
1:01:11
of that leave us with some landlords out
1:01:13
for gemini and it can be go my
1:01:15
are perfect dark so her. Is.
1:01:17
Silicon Valley Room know that was ah that was
1:01:19
actually the Gts. That was the i'm a Desire
1:01:22
to ask when they really thought last core was
1:01:24
to and the thing as a class cause rest
1:01:26
I mean I'm and can be on an exercise
1:01:28
bike him. Yes, Sir
1:01:30
Four Sigma Do you do? Please aren't you
1:01:32
like weird rabbits in that game? Now years
1:01:35
Iran's doing them year than you rescue you.
1:01:37
August A Do you play as a
1:01:39
set of twins rescuing weird rabbit people in
1:01:41
this game. Is. set
1:01:44
for it would have been i present to
1:01:46
make your engine answer for some it is
1:01:49
therefore assume i ask is was is do
1:01:51
so and i and a half thing it
1:01:53
takes place in the outer space i assume
1:01:55
they're wearing protective headgear like a spacesuit is
1:01:58
how they to helmet satisfy her Where
1:02:00
did I replay man? I
1:02:02
know I talked about this a lot on
1:02:04
scoop But I'm really fascinated by the games
1:02:06
that were like there's two games They're excellent
1:02:09
when they come out and then one is
1:02:11
excellent a decade later and then once crap
1:02:13
a decade later And it's not like crap
1:02:15
games fault. They just aged differently jet force
1:02:17
Gemini is so awful I played it in
1:02:19
I must have played every rare replay and
1:02:21
it is I'm like man I love this
1:02:23
game like I put it right up there with the other
1:02:25
rare classics at the time. I couldn't
1:02:27
play it No, so
1:02:30
I think so disappointed the critically acclaimed question
1:02:32
I feel like there was like a sevens
1:02:34
name seven or eight people probably gave out I Jim
1:02:36
probably gave it a high seven or an eight. I
1:02:39
don't really know that we probably gave it a nine
1:02:41
though. Yeah There's
1:02:44
a There's multiplayer in that
1:02:46
game and you can I think in the multiplayer you
1:02:48
can play as the dog Okay,
1:02:51
is there something weird where the camera
1:02:53
only moves on the x-axis? Like doesn't
1:02:55
move on the y-axis. We gave an
1:02:57
8.1 a point Matt kasmacy. You're right.
1:03:00
Yeah, maybe I'm incorrect about that
1:03:02
But I have I have that memory I don't
1:03:04
know I remember also you could have you could
1:03:06
give the controller to a second person and you
1:03:08
have this like kind of Droid that hovers around
1:03:10
you and they can just kind of like zap
1:03:12
on the n64 that game ran at like 11
1:03:14
frames per second So it's like even fixing that
1:03:16
in rare replay. I still they fix that. We're
1:03:18
really say yeah, I Want
1:03:20
to play that again? Yeah, I kind of play
1:03:22
it to you. I'm like multiplayer so much I
1:03:25
mean, I encourage you to fire it up golden eyes the
1:03:27
same way you can't play it man Yeah, original golden. I
1:03:29
also don't know if go back to last course rare. We
1:03:31
have to look that up Yeah, I'll check. I don't remember
1:03:33
if that was actually rare or not. I think it's the
1:03:35
same people that in silicon I think it's DMA. Yeah, you
1:03:38
might be right Yeah,
1:03:41
jet force Jimin it was like, you know
1:03:43
a highly anticipated game along with you know Golden
1:03:46
eye and banjo kazooie and like all of those
1:03:48
yeah coming from air. It was right blast course.
1:03:50
Yep Okay, it's blast core. I
1:03:52
guess blast course probably in rare replay, right?
1:03:54
Yes Okay, last core holds up much better
1:03:56
than Jeff force Gemini never played out.
1:03:58
It gets so hard. It starts out I've never seen
1:04:00
a game like for the first six
1:04:02
or eight missions. You're like this game's great Why don't people talk
1:04:05
about this game more then you get to the midpoint and you're
1:04:07
like, oh this is impossible Like
1:04:10
it requires like pinpoint precision. Yeah
1:04:13
Shooting just like the way
1:04:15
each vehicle is different and like oh no blast
1:04:17
core. Yeah. Okay. Yeah And then
1:04:19
did rare do Star Fox adventures? Mm-hmm. I was
1:04:21
rare. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that was for GameCube though
1:04:23
Yeah for game. Yeah, but I just think of
1:04:25
I think of I'm trying to think of the
1:04:27
rare misses started as dinosaur planet I mean they
1:04:29
started to miss they got more common. Am I
1:04:31
right? Do you remember it was like the biggest
1:04:34
controversy? Misses
1:04:38
got more common got
1:04:40
more coming. Yeah, the upcoming rare
1:04:43
games. I was like The
1:04:46
rare missus got more common. That's you.
1:04:48
That's your connective play on words It
1:04:50
was like a top ten controversy when
1:04:52
Nintendo sold rare, but they obviously like
1:04:55
Nintendo saw something that we did Guly
1:04:58
well, they had like They
1:05:01
didn't sell rare for a long time until after grab by
1:05:03
the goose. I don't think so I think that was her
1:05:05
next game wasn't it what for that was like their first
1:05:07
Microsoft. I think so Yep,
1:05:09
and the other bunker loaded and then Banjo Kazooie
1:05:11
nuts and bolts and connect them all I don't
1:05:14
know the exact timeline the grab by the police
1:05:16
was same generation That was axe box and they
1:05:18
released a fact adventures on GameCube Banjo Kazooie nuts
1:05:20
and bolts underrated Yeah, I think I like that
1:05:22
game a lot. I did too I'm a lot
1:05:25
of fun thing in it so I could never
1:05:27
get past it But I love the open areas
1:05:29
and stuff and I thought that really yeah and
1:05:31
the building different machines the like different parts Yeah,
1:05:33
that was really fun really clever. It's
1:05:36
also in rare replay Wow. Yeah, every
1:05:38
rare replay has everything. Yeah, it's incredible It
1:05:40
has all those old rare computer games that
1:05:42
never played a wolf and all those weird
1:05:44
games It's a Viva pinata. It does and
1:05:46
even trouble in Paris. Yeah, that's like DS
1:05:49
one No, it's a sequel, but it's
1:05:51
seek. It's like sequel sash pseudo remake
1:05:53
Like it's basically like a 1.5 version
1:05:55
of even pinata it like will completely
1:05:57
replaces the original Alright
1:06:02
ladies and
1:06:04
gentlemen, that brings
1:06:06
us to video game 20
1:06:08
questions this week. Our suggestion comes
1:06:11
from Rob in Rochester, New
1:06:13
York, Omega Cops. Let
1:06:16
the questioning begin. Can you see
1:06:18
your character's hands? Yes. What?
1:06:22
That's an oddly specific question. Well
1:06:24
now you know. Alright. You can see
1:06:26
your character's hands. Great. They're
1:06:30
not wearing gloves. The Mega Man's new to this game apparently.
1:06:34
Is this from before 1990? No.
1:06:38
Is it uh, current
1:06:41
gen consoles? No. Somewhere
1:06:43
in between. We
1:06:46
never get these. Is this
1:06:49
from before the, did this come out before
1:06:51
January 1st, 2000? No. This
1:06:53
is a 3D game. Yes. Aw man.
1:06:56
I bet it's gonna be
1:06:59
Halloween themed. Is it one of the, is
1:07:02
it published by one of the
1:07:04
main, like Microsoft Nintendo Sony? A
1:07:07
first party game? First party, yeah sorry. No.
1:07:10
Okay. Was this game developed in the United
1:07:12
States? Or North America? Yes.
1:07:15
Is this game spooky? Yes. Yeah!
1:07:18
Yeah! Spooky game!
1:07:20
And it's from the 2000s but not modern day
1:07:22
consoles. Alright. And it's multi, and I guess we
1:07:25
don't know it's multi platform but it's not first
1:07:27
party. No. Wait
1:07:29
did we get multi platform? Well no, I'm
1:07:31
sorry it was just not made by Sony
1:07:33
Nintendo Microsoft. Eternal darkness? Sanity's Requiem?
1:07:35
That's a good guess. That's a good guess.
1:07:37
Is it multi platform? Um.
1:07:41
Yes. Eternal
1:07:44
darkness is still in the running here. Why is
1:07:46
that? Did it come out with
1:07:48
something else? I don't, I think maybe, I don't think
1:07:50
it stayed on GameCube forever did it? I don't think
1:07:52
it's ever been re-released. Yeah maybe you're right. I like
1:07:54
getting hung up on that though. Um, is this game
1:07:56
part of a franchise? No. That's
1:07:59
ten. It's a standalone spooky game
1:08:01
not evil within like
1:08:04
ps2 3d made in not
1:08:06
in Japan Oh, yeah, yes, dude. Yeah made
1:08:08
in America 3d Can
1:08:11
you play as a woman in this game? No not
1:08:14
eternal? Not dead rising? Oh, that was made in Japan
1:08:16
Anyway, do you play the woman in the
1:08:18
eternal black? Oh you switch around between you're mainly Alex I
1:08:21
think this is a woman's name is it
1:08:23
made by Capcom. No. All right. Well,
1:08:25
we already hands made in America. Don't make a
1:08:30
I Almost
1:08:32
moved cover the hero
1:08:34
we don't need Man
1:08:38
used to solving murders not video and
1:08:40
trivia, I mean I don't like spooky games
1:08:42
Um, is this game take
1:08:45
place in in
1:08:47
contemporary times yet? Well, yeah
1:08:49
in the largest sense. Yes Yeah, so it's not
1:08:52
a past game or future game All
1:08:54
right, so I mean 3d
1:08:58
That's not like Chronicles of Riddick. He could
1:09:00
be first person What
1:09:02
questions are we on? We're at 13. Yeah,
1:09:04
does this have zombies in it? Yes. Ooh,
1:09:06
so zombie spooky game Could
1:09:09
be left for dead. Yeah, I got a sequel though and
1:09:12
we said no sequels. Well, we said not part of a
1:09:14
franchise Not
1:09:16
part of French fries. Yeah left for dead's a good

established? We said made in North America though
1:09:39
And wasn't that game developed in Europe? I
1:09:41

1:09:45

1:09:47
Justin asked America specific. Okay. Yes, it was
1:09:49
developed in North American Interesting. Okay cool North

1:10:07
dead island that
1:10:09
kind of sequel well did it ever release the
1:10:13
secret yeah I don't think that is
1:10:15
that that island you never did but
1:10:17
they still made the dead island something
1:10:19
something yeah exactly yeah the
1:10:22
one-off zombie game hmm
1:10:27
and I still don't know what
1:10:29
error this is so that makes
1:10:31
it really yeah it would state
1:10:33
of decay fight what's the goofy square
1:10:38
oh it's not current gen either can be could
1:10:40
be Red Dead Redemption undead nightmare totally that's a
1:10:42
good one that's a good one but it's part of
1:10:44
a franchise it's true what's what's
1:10:48
what's rare is zombie game oh yeah
1:10:50
they may grabbed by the goulies by
1:10:53
the ghoul oh stubs a zombie there's
1:10:55
stubs zombie oddworld that's part of it
1:10:57
yeah should we ask if it's like
1:10:59
more of a light-hearted zombie game I
1:11:02
think that's a good one that could is this a
1:11:04
light-hearted zombie game yes does
1:11:07
this game is it cheating ask that
1:11:09
as zombie in the title that's
1:11:12
great I don't know if that's against the rules
1:11:15
Damon we need a judgment well how would
1:11:17
that be cheating cuz okay does this game have zombie
1:11:19
in the title yes it's done what is stubs the
1:11:21
zombie that was this game
1:11:27
where you could like rip off your hand and throw it and
1:11:29
then track you play as you
1:11:31
play as the zombie and it's sort
1:11:33
of like just a third-person adventure e
1:11:35
game where mostly light-hearted Xbox exclusive to
1:11:37
Xbox wasn't
1:11:41
made by Microsoft yeah I don't know if it ever
1:11:43
got ported that question so it was actually made by
1:11:45
the same guy that created halo that's
1:11:47
right that was it's the claim to fame didn't
1:11:50
you didn't you weren't you like a detective in
1:11:52
life and then when you died you're trying to
1:11:54
solve something was this on the Xbox yes okay
1:11:56
let's let's go for it all right if it's
1:11:58
not a mega man well We'll make
1:12:00
man do the honors. I'll guess stubs zombie. That's
1:12:03
correct 2005
1:12:08
release on Xbox NPC. Ah,
1:12:10
but only in game spook would we ever
1:12:12
choose that game? Yeah 20 questions. That's true
1:12:14
I feel like there's a pretty well-known like
1:12:16
xox game from the time and considering it's
1:12:19
made by the guy who made halo That's
1:12:21
really cool. I didn't know we could have
1:12:23
just asked that and you know developed by
1:12:25
wide load Okay, wide load games

no longer around who's the halo person out of
1:12:29

1:12:32
by aspire and they are still around
1:12:34
there is a single and multiplayer modes Multiplayer.
1:12:36
Yeah, and then the contemporary setting threw me off cuz
1:12:39
I think it might be set in the 50s. That's
1:12:41
fine I was like, yeah, it's in the larger scale
1:12:43
things. It's in the Contemporary this reminds
1:12:45
me of the destroy all humans one. That was
1:12:47
so hard. Oh, yeah Down
1:12:49
