Guess That Game!

No, #3 is not a Simpsons game, but you're actually on the right track... the main character IS yellow.

(#1 and #2 have been guessed correctly--specifically #2 is Ecco the Tides of Time, but like I said having the correct franchise counts as well)

I'm starting to think #3 is Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures.

RP2A03... That's sounding like a lot of Kong clones to think through... my knee jerk reaction was Imagic's Beauty and the Beast, but I don't recall falling octopi.

Beat me to it by what? Like 10 seconds?

Heh, that was freaking close!

I was too busy looking at gameplay videos and the wikipedia article to verify...

The player instead takes the role of an observer, and, instead of directly interacting with the world by a standard click interface, is armed with a slingshot that can be used to indirectly affect or strike objects in the world, including Pac-Man himself.

Matches the given clue perfectly.

Nope. No hairy apes in this one.

Yep. #3 is definitely Pac-Man 2: the New Adventures, one of the most underrated games out there.

I have no idea what RP2A03's game is.

Anyway, here's a few more from me:

#4 - I always wondered why the ship can only take one hit but these attached tentacles (which must be made of the same material) are basically invincible and can even block shots. They're good against eyeballs though.

#5 - Never Forget Me. The Moon is Your Friend. W-E-E-B-L-E F-A-L-L-S D-O-W-N

#6 - Somehow this suit can use its occupant to swing around and yet he survives despite that its apparently the suit that depends on said occupant rather than the other way around. Probably best if you don't take it seriously. The creators clearly didn't.

#6-Earthworm Jim

[Edmond Dantes]

Yup, its EWJ.

And seriously its whack how Jim himself is used as a tool and weapon despite it being the suit that's supposed to be the source of his power.

I'll give you all a hint for the other two since they seem to have stumped people:

#4 didn't get a home console release until much later, in a two-game set only released in Japan for the Saturn and Playstation... both being incredibly 'spensive.

#5 never got any sort of home console release at all. It's arcade-only.

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?
