The Poorly Described Game... um, game.

[Tawmis]

OK. Was this game made before 1990?

[Rath Darkblade]

Hmm. Is it a Sierra game?

[Tawmis]

I'd asked if it was from Sierra (or there in)

[DeadPoolX]

OK. Was this game made before 1990?

Yes, it was definitely created and released before 1990.

[Rath Darkblade]

Oops. Is it a Capcom game?

[DeadPoolX]

Oops. Is it a Capcom game?

No, it's not a Capcom game. In fact, the company that created this game was well-known for its computer games, not console titles.

[Rath Darkblade]

Sorry -- I'm just trying to think what company it can possibly be, and Capcom is the only one that popped to mind, seeing as they make action-related games. *shrug*

Let's try it another way. Does the name of the company start with a letter between A and M?

If you include the letters "A" and "M," then yes, the name of the company begins with a letter between A and M.

[Rath Darkblade]

OK... does the company's name start with a letter between A and H (inclusive)?

[DeadPoolX]

OK... does the company's name start with a letter between A and H (inclusive)?

No, it does not. The company that made this game was extremely well-known for this particular genre, and it's a genre you guys know I'm quite fond of.

[Rath Darkblade]

So the company is from H-M. Hmm.

Does the company's name start with a letter from H-J? (H, I, J)

[DeadPoolX]

So the company is from H-M. Hmm.

Does the company's name start with a letter from H-J? (H, I, J)

No, the company's name begins with the letter "M".

[Rath Darkblade]

My first thought was "Uh-oh, there are lots of companies that begin with 'M'", but then I realised that not many of them started in the 80s or earlier. That should make things easier.

Does the company's name begin with "Mi"?

Does the company's name begin with "Mi"?

Yes. This game also had a very specific identification form of copy protection.

[Rath Darkblade]

OK -- I looked up all the games companies that started before the 80s, and whose name start with Mi. I narrowed it down to three.

Is the company MicroProse Software?
