Re: Video Game Riddles

Ohhh...

See, I never actually owned Contra 1, and I haven't played any of the Contra games in years, so I didn't know the characters' names at all. Well then, I guess I'll have to come up with a riddle now.

I think I'll go with a game that was both obscure and pretty crappy.


Little pink dragon found in the road.
Looks to the east to its tower abode.
A brave knight sets forth in armor of blue
He and his dolls, plus his fairy friend too.

He travels along, roaming both far and wide.
He encounters a merc, dragon sister at side.
At long last comes he to his goal; to the tower.
He delivers the babe, then is faced with dark power.

Now in his way stands a god of the dark
(This bastard's bite is as strong as his bark).
The merc and his sis arrive to defeat
The dark god but fail to prevent his retreat.

On our hero goes to collect mighty gear
To fight the last battle, a monster of fear.
This beast, great and tall, by the dark god unsealed,
It goes to display the great power it wields.

While little babe dragon and knight fight the fiend,
The merc fights the god with great sword most keen.
A terrible turn, the knight and babe fall,
The dark monster's magic has conquered them all!

But then, by a miracle, the two do revive.
They weaken the fiend, his power survive!
The dark god is slain, as is his great demon.
Our story has ended (or so it is seemin').

Oh yeah, and the fairy becomes a full-sized woman.



Sorry it's so long. The game is, as I said, a bit obscure, but more importantly, as an RPG it's just so friggin' generic that I figured I'd give as much detail as possible to improve the chances that at least SOMEBODY will know what game I'm talking about. =P

Re: Video Game Riddles

The only thing I can think of is Ghosts n' Ghouls, but that's not even an RPG...

Re: Video Game Riddles

My guess would be Hydlide. Old NES RPG, part of the plot involved some key female getting turned into a fairy, if memory serves...

Re: Video Game Riddles

No correct answers yet, I'm afraid. Thanks for bringing my attention to Dragon Knight, though. It looks interesting.

I guess if nobody gets it by Saturday, I'll give you guys a hint.

...ARGH! Damnit, I remember seeing the game you mean (I think) in a Playstation magazine years ago, but I can't remember the damn name. =/

Re: Video Game Riddles

Yeah, I got nothing, and that's odd, especially if it's a Playstation RPG...

Haven't played Dragon Knight myself (there's a series, I guess) and there's two anime that go with it. The first anime is kinda...meh. Could've done a lot more if it'd been longer. The second one is quite a bit better, though I've only seen the edited version, which, in it's own right, is still a good fantasy story. You just lose a lot of the sex...

Re: Video Game Riddles

Well then, my hint is that it is, indeed, a Playstation RPG. Like I said, it's kind of obscure. I only even know about it because my brother got it for me for my birthday...

Okay, we'll try this one, but I really have no clue.

No, sorry.

I guess if nobody can get it by the end of Thursday, I'll tell you all the answer and try again. Unless you all want to keep guessing, that is.

Re: Video Game Riddles

Well, we let Toxic's, was it, go for a while, but I've got no clue, so I wouldn't be adverse to either the answer or another clue.

Re: Video Game Riddles

Is the game "Beyond the Beyond"?
Shit, I remember that game. I actually have a copy of it sitting in my little game cabinet. I have to say that it seems to fit the riddle too...

Of course, there's another game that seems similar, but..Well, I can't remember its name.

Sorry, that's not what I was thinking of either. It was a pretty generic RPG with only a couple "original" points though, so I can see how there would be a lot of wrong answers.

And by popular demand, I shall not reveal the answer until asked.

What if we demand the answer? What then? XD. I'm gonna have to start looking and see if I can find the name of the game I'm remembering, it seems very likely that that's it.

Re: Video Game Riddles

I remember Beyond the Beyond, too. I also remember not really liking it. And come to think of it, I think there *was* something similiar I played around the same time that came out...*thinks*

*pokes Raimei* HINT!

Or not...

Re: Video Game Riddles

Guardians Crusade FUCKING RAWKS! I have it on my PSP at the moment, cant remember where I am in it though, I've been playing with my DS since I got FFTA2.

I'm not sure on the answer but I have a riddle too. Though its not in the form of words because Im retarded like that, instead its a picture riddle;



Knowing my luck this'll be easy.

Yup, that's the one! Though honestly, I wonder if anybody would have ever gotten it if I hadn't essentially given the Cliff's Notes version of the game. =)
