The Name That Game Thread!!!
Okay so here's the deal with this thread: Give the general concept (but not too obvious if it's a well known game, and don't mention any character names or location names) to one of your favorite games, and the first person to get the answer right makes their own.If no one answers for a day or two, I'll start a new question.I'll start out with an easy one:
You are in a research lab.Catastrophy has struck and you're one of the only ones left.It's your job to make it out alive and stop this madness, and figure out what caused it.
If this is too hard I will give a few more hints to it, but it shouldn't be.

Were you serious about that or just joking?
either that or Portal
You got it!
There are missles about to be launched on a usually-peaceful island.The people behind the organization who is launching these missles will go to drastic measures to kill you, and you, your partner (player 2 in co-op, CPU in 1-player), and a character you meet later in the game are the only ones fighting against it.In the game you fight through the lush landscapes of this island, fight a helicopter full of baddies on the boardwalk, and eventually work your way to the site and stop the launch.
nice.Your turn.
As far back as your race can remember, your home has always been this desert planet, where the climate is so harsh that civilization can only thrive in the planet's temperate polar regions. Shortly after your race develops the technology to send satellites into orbit, the wreckage of an ancient starship is discovered in the desert wastes. Deep within the wreckage is a galactic map, etched in stone. A marker on the map points towards a system in the galaxy's inner core, and the label, written in a script older than civilization itself, is a single word, "Home."
Bonus Hint: You're also listening to Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings.
See if you can guess the game!
You are a convicted murderer, taken against your will into the world of snuff videos by a sadistic film maker. All you have to do is provide him with some choice footage. But as far as you're concerned, it's his turn to be the star.
Now he has to rely on the competence of the inhabitants, which he seems to posses some kind of control over. Using these poor creatures, he tries to recover the lost parts of his broken spaceship.
I was going to do Pikmin 2 but lazily closed the window a half hour ago.
An anthropomorphic dog and rabbity-thing.....
....No.....
....You're a Peasant with tight pants, who must get revenge for his thatched-roof cottage getting burninated--
...No. =p
My REAL all-time favorite game, is THIS:
You start out on a boat, freed from imprisonment and finding yourself on your way to this island province thanks to the request of the Emperor. You're given nothing but your freedom and a package to deliver to a man living in one of the larger cities in the province.
At this point, you find yourself able to do any number of things, from getting heavily involved with local politics, becoming the errand boy of dark Gods, becoming a pilgrim for the Chapel, thieving every person in sight, or simply looting for treasure in many underground dungeons.
Or, if you're willing, you can take that package to the man in the city. And should you continue down this path, you will set off a chain of events that will have you realize your destiny, leading you to take down a malevolent demigod that has blighted the landscape.
Name.
That.
Game.
I only happen to know (or think I know) this because I walked in on my bro watching a speedrun of it the other day d:
Here's another game, but I can only say so much before it becomes blatantly obvious...
You awaken in your bedroom, and the light is off. Almost every attempt to leave the dark room results in the wall jostling you rather rudely. The real adventure begins when you realize you need to turn the light on in order to do anything. You also have no tea.
Name that game!
You keep thinking... right or something... yep!
Next game!
The space race was actually a coverup for a massive military campaign in space. The Soviets and the Americans have launched fleets of hovering tanks and bombers into space to be deployed on the surfaces of the moon, Mars, Venus, and other planets in our solar system. They're searching for alien relics, left behind by a race of beings whose planet's destruction resulted in the asteroid belt.
Name that game!
my turn!
youre under arrest and you must get out. find stinky stupid objects. and a effigy will be burned.
name that game!
Afraid not, and seeing as how nobody else has guessed since then, the answer is Battlezone. Your turn!
you manage a small patch of land where you can grow plants, and breed animals, mexican treats are involved, and no money is involved, besides who needs money when you have chocolate.
go on then.
correct
A space station 'zoo' containing robotic animals which disappeared years ago has suddenly returned... on a collision course with Earth! It's up to a lazy slob who never leaves the comfort of his spaceship and his robot pal to solve bizarre puzzles and prevent the destruction of Earth! Name that game!
i know it but ive got to go to a lecture like now
Oh, Oh! I know! Its "Space Station Silicon Valley!"
Congrats! That's correct! I'll go again, because I love this game!
The old king who had ruled an entire continent has died, and the king's two sons each vie for the crown. The chaotic son orchestrates a series of events that lead to the exiling of the lawful son, who then begins a rebellion to take back the crown and unite the continent under a lawful rule. Regardless of whose banner you choose to fly, you'll control armies of mystical creatures, under the command of roving heroes. Choosing to serve the chaotic son allows you to control the three "evil" town alignments, while choosing the lawful son allows you to control the three "good" town alignments. The canonical ending is the victory of lawful son over the chaotic son.
Name that game!
I want to say Ogre Battle but I don't know which one.
Good, because I'm gonna need some funding to.......you know........keep this thread running.......So you can send the money in small bills to my doorstep.
A good guess, but unfortunately wrong. You're in the right genre, just the wrong game series. (I love Ogre Battle by the way...)
