God, Jonnas. Don't scare me like that. I thought someone had already guessed Dune 2 and I'd missed it somehow. That would have been so embarrassing. :p

 

Anyway, gaming history time! Dune II is actually not a sequel to the first Dune game. From this interview:

 

Alper’s comments to Sperry had been made with the understanding that work by French developer Cryo on a Dune-themed adventure/strategy hybrid had already been cancelled. As Sperry later found out, however, Cryo hadn’t taken no for an answer. “They rushed to finish their game before ours,” he reveals. “The result was a branding nightmare – the Cryo game had nothing to do with ours and yet it was published first because Virgin was anxious for the revenue. Against my violent protests our game was called Dune II: The Building Of A Dynasty [battle For Arrakis in Europe and for the Mega Drive version] and the rest is history.”

 

So that's where the 2 comes from! :smile:

Grr...I was misled by the internets, then! (Wikipedia wasn't the only site I checked)

 

But you still lied: there is no "2" in the title, only a "II"! [/hissy fit]

 

So, does this make the first time that nobody actually managed to guess a picture correctly?

10: Minish Cap

 

Correct sir

 

Guessing Skyward Sword for number 2 but I don't think I'm right

 

That's true. You're not right :p

 

2 is Xenoblade.

 

It isn't.

 

1. Super Castlevania IV

2. Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

7. Metal Gear Solid

8. Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

9. Vagrant Story

10. Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons

12. Pokémon Gold/Silver

 

All correct. And by correct, I actually mean wrong :heh:

 

Wow, without cheating I really don't know. Good choices Dog-amoto!

 

Complete guesses:

3. Turok 2

4. Sonic the Hedgehog

5. Shinobi

6. Grim Fandango

 

Like I said, no idea! But worth a guess anyway! :-)

 

Always worth a guess, but sadly all wrong. But one of your answers is close to one of the other screenshots ;)

 

1 is Lemmings.

 

It is. Have awarded your points accordingly :p
