_You are lost in deep space and place yourself in suspended animation._ **Flashback** for the Genesis and SNES. What an _awesome_ game. ---

_-A load of wind up rabbits cross the road_ Is that **Full Throttle**? I could have sworn that wind-up rabbits were involved somewhere in that game. ---

He initially feeds you some BS so you go off and get your punk self killed challenging an immortal. To get the spirit’s real name from the vampire, you have to wave a stake at him. ---

Hey you guys have gotten the ones your guessed right so far and a golf clap for the one that guessed Full Throttle…if you turned off the game during the long credits you would have missed the wind up bunnies. ---

Now I need to find a SNES, and that game. You know what would be cool? A version for PS2 \*\* Have to do a bit more than wave the stake. First you need to get the strobe light from the club (Is it The Jagged Nails club? I can’t remember, the one Kitsune is in) and then use it to blind him. A PS2 version would be pretty cool. Just imagine what the decking bits would be like! ---

Through skill at weapons, spells, sheer willpower, use of an oxymoronic weapon, tattoo, or quick-talking abilities, you convince the person who has been trying to kill you since before the start of the game to do so. You die, and go off to undertake actions that will likely unbalance the multiverse. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Greyson3 \* > \*\* > > Earthbound. I love that game. \*\* Is that the game with Ness? I only know of him via Super Smash Bros. (love that jump). The curtain falls. The Princess apparently kisses you (how disappointing. I waited 7 years for grumble, grumble…) You get into Miranda’s clubhouse. Your opponet says something with dots, the credits roll, and he disappears. (Hint: 3 answers.) Your opponet lands, cries and runs away with you following behind trying to console him. You disappear into the tides of time. (Big hint) ---

Jeez… I don’t know my console games at all, and everyone else has already gotten all the PC games (I think). So, here’s a few of my own. One is really old, one is sort of old, and two are (relatively) new. One’s _really_ easy too. PC - A young neuroscientist is disconnected from the colony ship. She is the last to set foot on the planet of the colony’s origin. - Drink a cup of _real_ tea and step (most improbably) out of your starship onto the surface of an ancient world. - Your character beheads one guy who is already dead, kills a distinctly Lovecraftian creature, and your stone is taken by someone you’ve already killed. Sega (multiple platforms) - You rescue your family from a bunch of aliens and get them back to the oceans of Earth. ---

> [@](#): > > 2)Which old PC game ends with the line “Tell me \ have you ever heard of Cthulhu?” Wild guess, but “Shadow of the Comet: Call of Cthulhu?” I have this CD right here, but I was never able to get too far in the game. ---
