Guess That Game!

Number 4 would be the Capcom Dungeon and Dragons arcade games.

Nah. Only arcade game with tentacles mounted to a ship I can think of is X-Multiply.

#5 made me look through my shit. It did get a PS2 release in Japan on the Oretachi Game Center line. Trio the Punch, right?

Celerystalker is good at this. Yes #4 is X-Multiply and #5 is Trio the Punch (I didn't know about the PS2 release).

I kinda wondered how Dungeons and Dragons fits #4 at all until I realized Cloud must've thought I was describing a Beholder.

AND NOW FOR THREE MORE!

#7 is also not Dungeons and Dragons, but it IS by Capcom and involves a fantasy setting and rolling dice.... and characters who somehow know about Earth things like sports, TV shows, famous authors...

#8 is probably the only game ever made where you find out what time period you're in by glancing up at the status bar. Said bar gives a game title rather than a year, because its that kind of game.

#9 is a game that never existed and yet was somehow still responsible for the events in the game #8 refers to.

EDIT: It seems people forgot the "guessing the franchise is good enough" rule anyway but in case you haven't, for those last two it only counts if you name the exact game.

#7 is Quiz & Dragons. There's a fun alternate version on Capcom Classics 2 that's all about Capcom video games.

I'll have to give the other two some thought. At first, I thought Time Soldiers, as it does tell you your time period on the status bar, but #9 negates that, so back to bed and letting it ruminate.

#8 Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers
#9 Space Quest XII: Vohaul's Revenge II

#8 Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers
#9 Space Quest XII: Vohaul's Revenge II

Nice! Classic PC gaming is a massive blind spot for me.

Celerystalker - your guess is correct for Quiz and Dragons... so how exactly do you get that alternate version? I played it on CCC Volume 2 (PS2 version) and it was general trivia.

jb142 - You've got #8 correct but not #9. Think about what you learn in the sewers, and what floppy disk Roger actually acquires later in the game.

Then the only other option would be Space Quest X: Latex Babes of Estros

I just assumed XII because that's where IV starts out.

It's in the Extras menu. I don't believe it had to be unlocked, but I'll slap it in when I get a chance and confirm.

Edit:

Yep, on the main menu, highlight "Extras." You'll see that if you press circle, it will launch "Capcom Quiz," which is a modified version of Quiz & Dragonz that replaces the original question set with all new questions about Capcom video games, their designers, etc.
