Video Game Hangman

[IAAW]

I'm bored... and it's time for Guess That Game! This is Season 1 of the GTG series! Guess letters and words!

• You may guess one letter per post. You may not guess another letter until another person has guessed a letter.
• You may guess the word if you feel you have the correct answer.
• There are bonus questions for each word that give a bonus of 5 questions if answered correctly. But, it must be answered along with the word. If you fail to get the correct word, and fail to get the correct answer, the bonus question will stay. If you get the correct word, but don't get the correct answer, you won't get the bonus points, and we will move on to the next word. If you fail to get the correct word, but get the correct answer for the bonus question, you won't get the bonus points, and the bonus question will be automatically "debited", aka the bonus points are un-gainable by anyone.
• No flaming/trolling. Don't spam either.
• A scoreboard will list everyone's ranking and points.
• Flaming/Trolling and/or spamming will disqualify you.
• There are 50 words per season.
• There are "trophies" for the top 3 ranking winners. They will be able to bestow it proudly in their sig. =D

Finally, the subject, is, of course, Video Games. Some words will be names of a game, some words will be items of a game, and so on. Bonus questions will often relate to the game and how it works. Anyways, each word is 5 points, along with an extra 5 points if you answer the bonus question correctly with your answer.

The first word shall begin after this post.

[eagleboy]

Sure, I'll give it a go.

You get the answer, but you don't get the proper answer for the bonus question. I was talking about the NES Zelda... I should be more clearer about stuff like that. Anyways, you still get five points for guessing the word. NEXT WORD! By the way, you were looking for 5, 10 if you counted the Second Quest hearts.

You start with 3 hearts, and you get 5 more in the overworld, and 8 from dungeons, for a total of 13, which was the number I thought you were looking for, but whatever. Anyway,

Doug is technically right; you didn't count the 8 Heart Containers from the dungeons. But only half right, as that would make 26 counting the Second Quest which, by the way, you can sneak to by entering "ZELDA" as your name.

[Doug31]

Doh, metroid, I should have gotten that. Stupid google search didn't bring that up from "armored space-traveling heroine."

Not to mention that in the Second Quest, at certain rooms of two(?) dungeons, you can choose to sacrifice a Heart Container.

DOH! Gah, I KNEW I forgot some hearts. But yeah, I never counted the dungeon heart containers. Silly me. So doug gets the bonus points for the issue. Also, eagleboy, you get the second word, along with the bonus points. Good job!

The Word is "Mega Man."

His Japanese Name was Rokkuman, or, in English, "Rock Man."

His Nickname is the "Blue Bomber."

Not too bad of a guess, ya? I had the right no. of letters.

I believe you mean:

"Dance Dance Revolution."

Bonus:
In The Groove
Pump It Up
Dancing Stage

[IAAW]

Theeere you go. 10 points for getting the answer. Now... it's gonna get somewhat tougher now. The words are now gonna be more unique, and bonus questions will be harder.


5) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _

Bonus Question: This shooting game was based off of a different shooting game. What was that shooting game, what was the starring character of that shooting game, and how many stages are there in that shooting game?

[Squeek]

Gonna say Perfect Dark, which was based on Goldeneye 007. That main character was obviously James Bond, and there were 11 multiplayer stages and 18 single player stages, not counting Aztec or Egyptian.

ps - you should change this from hangman to just "guess the game".

[IAAW]

Correct and correct. And yes, I should do that. It's mostly guessing the game, but I'll keep it hangman-ish, so there's still some guessing involved.
