2:00

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

Rules and restrictions

46:28

may apply. So

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

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

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

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

1:12:32

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

1:12:51
