    The challenge list:
    These titles I consider challenging, Ive yet to think of great examples, so try these out. 1st one to make a good puzzle will get your name added after the particular challenge for recognition

    1. Baldur's Gate (Best one so far: Prydeless)
    2. Bionic Commando
    3. Final Fantasy
    4. The Sims
    5. Command and Conquer
    6. Fable the Lost Chapters
    7. Oblivion (Yes skip the elder scrolls IV part)
    8. Total Annihilation



    Gamers, we have a pretty unique life. On the one hand some of our favorite games were forged through blood and tears, there is a lot of physical and emotional toil that goes with the best experiences, hours and hours of right clicking, keyboard macroing tonned out our index finger, but whats more, our perception has sharpened. Memories forged, and thats how that favorite game of yours became a classic.

    Anyways we all have a few, but the shame of it all, we don't play some of them anymore. So Im creating a thread, to make a game of recalling old favorites or just any game in general

    Name That Game

    Rules:
    Its like pictionary
    simple, think of a game title, and you can only use images to 'spell out' the title, so other people can guess the game you're thinking about.

    There is a range: easy, medium, difficult. You decide, but start with an easy, then medium, then move to a difficult one.

    Chances are, you'll have as much difficulty coming up with the puzzle than those trying to solve it.

    I'll start:

    Easy

    I think the images should be way smaller especially if this thread is going to be picture heavy

    My guesses:
    Easy: Starcraft or Red Alert (but the macaroni wouldn't make sense)
    Medium: I dunno, is that second pic a sperm going into the egg?
    Hard: Gears of War

    I'll try to come up with some of my own and post 'em later.

    I think Prydeless is right with the first and third. I'm also stuck on the second one.

    Shouldn't this be in OT?

    your easy and hard guesses are right:
    Star + Craft (Kraft Mac and Cheese lol)
    medium +think (sperm and egg =?)
    hint: medium is 3 separate words (kind of) but its really 2

    nice one! the sperm + egg = life, good connection there

    these are so easy to make: but try to go for direct word-picture association

    like this one

    anyways, direct association might be the easier examples, try indirect association for hard ones.

    I can't make sense of the first pic, but the second one seems to be Opposing Force (HL expansion pack?).

    Is the first one Crysis? (I thought of Cry through the first pics)
    The second one must be Fallout
    Nice try, it's Freedom Force, my favourite also!

    I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it. At a quick glance it looks like someone in a straight jacket. I didn't even notice myself that it was something from 9/11 until you brought it up.

    The stairs one is obviously fallout.

    I say the apple one is Appleseed Card Tactics, even though it's already been answered. (Apple + Seed + Cards)

    I'm surprised it took you guys so long to get Donkey Kong, I mean come on, Donkey + Kahn?

    Here's one I came up with, shouldn't be too hard.

    (when posting your answer, just refer to the puzzle as problem A., and please number or letter future puzzles so it's easier to answer them without having to quote the images)

    Team Fortress 2? This is a half witted guess but that last picture is too hilarious for me to make anything of it.

    Anyways, do people like it better to requote the picture or just quote the puzzle number.

    I feel like quoting pictures save skipping back to find references, especially if this thread grows bigger.
