Reverse Sheep, a video game message board game

[The Bus]

Round 2: Reverse Sheep

A short game where you try to out-think other forum posters.

Rules:
<ul><li>You want to give the answer that you think will be given <i>least</i> often by other people. For example, if the question is "Name a game that has Mario in it", a terrible answer would probably be Super Mario Bros. A good answer would probably be Dr. Mario.
<li>You get one point for every person that gives the same answer as you, including yourself. For example, if you and ten other people said Super Mario Bros, all eleven of you would get 11 points. No points are given if you are the only person to say an answer.
<li>Lowest score wins.
<li>No using Google, Gamefaqs, Wikipedia, etc if you don't have to. Try to remain moral in this.
<li>Private message me your answers. Do not post them in this thread or tell anyone else.
<li>To make it easier for me to score the results, please list your answers one per line and don't number the items.
<li>Incorrect answers in reverse sheep get the number of points for the answer with the most votes + 1, making it worse than giving the worst correct answer.
<li><b>Answers are due by Wednesday, November 19th at 3PM EST</b>.</ul>

Remember, you want the answer that you think nobody will give!

Questions:
<ol><li>Name a playable character in Super Street Fighter II - The New Challengers.
<li>Name a Nintendo handheld or system that has been announced or released in North America.
<li>Name a weapon or item used in the Mario Kart series.
<li>Name a Final Fantasy game that was released in the US.
<li>Name a console series that used an official NFL or NBA license: teams, league name, players, etc. (Note: Name a specific game only if it's not part of a specific series. Madden 2005 is a wrong answer. "Madden series" is not.)
<li>Name a weapon used in Goldeneye for the N64.
<li>Name a US launch title on a Playstation system or portable.
<li>Name a released movie that is based on a video game.
<li>Name a LucasArts adventure game released between 1986 and 2000.
<li>Name a currently-announced or past Guitar Hero or Rock Band game or expansion. (Track Packs do not count).
<li>Name a Robot Master (boss villain) from the first three Mega Man games on the NES (Example: Snake Man from Mega Man 3).
<li>Name an XBLA or PSN game that has had its own thread on this forum (before today!).
<li>Name a Sonic the Hedgehog game.
<li>Name a US-released game that requires a specific controller or attachment and/or was sold with one.
<li>Name an already-released game developed by Blizzard.</ol>

Answers are due by 3PM EST, Wednesday 11/19/2008. All rules stand as decided by Jeremy. PM me for answers, obviously. (I added a day because I didn't realize Jeremy's ran over an entire weekend).

BTW - Thanks Bus for starting this thread. Any hope of resurecting the Video Game Draft now that we are a couple of years into this generation?

[lordzeppelin]

Number 14 is slightly unclear, the more I think about it. There are games that "ship" with a controller in one edition, but are still playable with the regular controller. This definitely affected my answer, as what I wanted to put 'shipped' with a controller, but didn't require it, and could be purchased without it. If the question is literal, and the controller is 'required', then it's a different story, because the rest of the question nullifies it.

For example...and I don't think anyone is using this one since it's the most obvious answer, let's say Guitar Hero. The game doesn't 'require' the guitar controller, it's available without it, and the controller is available separately. There are only a few games that 'require' a specific controller...it's just worded oddly.

I think that any game that shipped w/ a non-standard controller or must be played with a non-standard controller would count. You could probably come up with at least 20 different titles if you thought about it for a little while.

[Michael Corvin]

Yeah, my answer is definitely 'off the beaten' path, on that one.

[redbill]

hmm, I read the "or" as: a game that was sold with a specific controller.

[lordwow]

The question means two completely different things depending on where you consider the And/Or to break the sentence.

Name a US-released game that (1)requires a specific controller or attachment AND (2)was sold with one (AND = requires both to be true, both 1 and 2 must be true)

Name a US-released game that (1)requires a specific controller or attachment OR (2)was sold with one [a specific controller or attachment]. (OR means only one value must be true, either 1 or 2 must be true)

Thus a game that included a controller/attachment but did not require one is true under the OR.

[rabbit77]

submitted my answers, but sorry, I missed the bullet point about not numbering the answers.

[lordzeppelin]

I can come up with a ton, the question is whether the game REQUIRES it to be played, as in the guitar hero example. LordWow is on the right path...

[Tarantino]

In.

As for the other question, just answer it. We're not playing for money.

[Breakfast with Girls]

submitted my answers, but sorry, I missed the bullet point about not numbering the answers.Oops, same here. Sorry.

[lordzeppelin]

As for the other question, just answer it. We're not playing for money.

Oh, I already did, yesterday, before I even posted that thought today...just discussing, you know? Once the answers are revealed, I think it would be cool to discuss the different games and controllers that people put in for it...

[orangecrush]

Oh, I already did, yesterday, before I even posted that thought today...just discussing, you know? Once the answers are revealed, I think it would be cool to discuss the different games and controllers that people put in for it...
I am betting that Pong will receive the most votes ;)

[orangecrush]

I can come up with a ton, the question is whether the game REQUIRES it to be played, as in the guitar hero example. LordWow is on the right path...
I always thought most of the rhythm games allowed for play with a traditional controller. Can Guitar hero be played this way?

[lordwow]

Yes.

[Jeremy517]

Name a US-released game that (1)requires a specific controller or attachment AND (2)was sold with one (AND = requires both to be true, both 1 and 2 must be true)

Name a US-released game that (1)requires a specific controller or attachment OR (2)was sold with one [a specific controller or attachment]. (OR means only one value must be true, either 1 or 2 must be true)


The second is correct, I think.

[lordwow]

The second is correct, I think.

Well, they would both be correct since it's AND/OR.

[lordzeppelin]

Hmm...see, i changed my answer to that question like 5 times before submitting the PM. I came up with like 10 different ones that I felt would be more "forgotten" but all of them can be played with the standard controller, except for one, which fit the "required" part...

I can't wait until the deadline so we can start discussing. I'm dying to know what other people put for that one...and then there's the "attachment" part, which added a whole other category...

[pinata242]

Deadline was over an hour and a half ago.

Haven't seen The Bus today. Hopefully he didn't crash.

[orangecrush]

I didn't have the balls to go with steel battalion as I thought it was the most obvious choice for internet nerds like us. So, I went with Donkey Konga 2.

[JasonF]

All of my answers seemed like the incredibly obvious choice. I was completely second-guessing myself: "I'm going to say M. Bison. But everyone else will say M. Bison, so I'm going to say Ryu because he's so obvious. But everyone else will come to the same conclusion, so I'm going to switch to Sagat. But everyone else will ..."

I couldn't remember if the bosses were playable in that version, so I was stuck going with one of the main guys.

[fumanstan]

I took it as just sold with one, not requires one. :shrug:

[nickdawgy]

Bison, so I'm going to say Ryu because he's so obvious. But everyone else will come to the same conclusion, so I'm going to switch to Sagat. But everyone else will ..."

I didn't say either of them.

[lordzeppelin]

I didn't have the balls to go with steel battalion as I thought it was the most obvious choice for internet nerds like us. So, I went with Donkey Konga 2.

I initially thought of going with Taiko Drum Master. Then I thought of...in no particular order...Now, some of these don't 'require' the controller it came with.

Donkey Konga
Mario Paint
Odama
Buzz
Scene It
Samba De Amigo
NiGHTS (the original shipped with the 3d controller)
Ridge Racer with the JogCon
Virtua Cop
Virtual On (Twin Sticks!)
Steel Battalion
NES Track and Field
Diamonds to Demons (atari)
DDR
Sega Bass Fishing
etc etc.


and then settled on...Gyromite. Because it fit the "requires" component.

Then I thought "attachment"...and that started a whole other train of thought, because technically, the Sega 32X or Sega CD were attachments. Which led me to Star Wars Shadows of the Empire 64, which used the memory expansion for the N64, or something like any of the SNK games on the Saturn, which required the RAM cartridge. Also thought about the NEC Turbo-CD add-on, and even the Sega Master system converter for the Original Game Gear and for the original Genesis...and the card reader game for the gameboy...it just went on and on.

Maybe I'm nuts :shrug:

[lordwow]

I don't think it was shadows of the empire that required the expansion pack (wasn't it Rogue sqaud?). Empire was a launch title.

[JasonF]

and then settled on...Gyromite. Because it fit the "requires" component.

First of all, damn you for picking the same answer I did.

Second, technically you don't need to use the robot for Gyromite. You can just press the buttons on the second gamepad to raise and lower the gates.

[orangecrush]

First of all, damn you for picking the same answer I did.

Second, technically you don't need to use the robot for Gyromite. You can just press the buttons on the second gamepad to raise and lower the gates.
The fact that you both picked Gyromite is incredible. I was thinking that of all the questions, this one had the potential for the least overlap.

[The Bus]

I'll post all the answers tomorrow. Going to a sneak of Slumdog Millionaire tonight.

[jdpatri]

The fact that you both picked Gyromite is incredible. I was thinking that of all the questions, this one had the potential for the least overlap.

I picked Gyromite too.

:dance:

[lordzeppelin]

I picked Gyromite too.

:dance:

Awww fuck...I knew I should have gone with something like Doom for the 32X, because the 32X was REQUIRED to play it.

I don't think it was shadows of the empire that required the expansion pack (wasn't it Rogue sqaud?). Empire was a launch title.
Yeah...you're right.

[JasonF]

I picked Gyromite too.

:dance:

:sad: I almost picked Duck Hunt and I almost picked Stack-Up ... but I went with Gyromite.

[rabbit77]

Did anyone else pick Steel Battallion like me?

[rabbit77]

All of my answers seemed like the incredibly obvious choice. I was completely second-guessing myself: "I'm going to say M. Bison. But everyone else will say M. Bison, so I'm going to say Ryu because he's so obvious. But everyone else will come to the same conclusion, so I'm going to switch to Sagat. But everyone else will ..."

well, then I guess I wasn't the only one trying to pick the most obvious choice. I answered with answers like Madden series, Snake Man, etc.

[Michael Corvin]

So make that five of us that picked Gyromite. :lol:

[jdpatri]

Gyromite apparently left lasting impressions on all of us.

:lol:

I didn't think I'd be the only one, but damn. All my brain could come up with was Duck Hunt or Gyromite.

[Michael Corvin]

It just shows how old we all are. :lol

It was a toss up between Gyromite and the Track & Field pad for me. I chose poorly. :(

[orangecrush]

Did anyone else pick Steel Battallion like me?
Whewww...dodged a bullet.

I still can not believe that of all the Dance Dance Revolutions, Guitar Heroes, 3 Congo games for gc, Karaoke games, Mario Parties, etc so many people choose Gyromite.

[rabbit77]

Since The Bus isn't around yet, here are Tarantino's answers - they show up when you click on The Bus' name.

1. Guile
2. N64
3. Red turtle shell
4. Final Fantasy 3
5. NBA Jam
6. RPC90
7. God of War
8. Bloodrayne
9. Star Wars 32X
10. Guitar Hero
11. Rock Man
12. Geometry Wars
13. Sonic & Knuckles
14. Donkey Konga (game with the bongos)
15. Halo 3?

[lordzeppelin]

I think the wording of the question threw a lot of people. And I'm also betting that most of us thought "oh...everyone will pick DDR or something, they won't think that far back into gaming lore" and went to gyromite.

I'm suspecting the same thing went on with the FF game question, and the nintendo portable question (I answered Crystal Chronicles and Virtual Boy, respectively)

[Michael Corvin]

I went with Game & Watch for the handheld question.

[Tarantino]

:lol:

I had no idea for a few of those answers.

= J

[pinata242]

I went with Game & Watch for the handheld question.

Whew. I almost did too. Ended up trying the forgettable Game Boy Micro. :fc:

[orangecrush]

Whew. I almost did too. Ended up trying the forgettable Game Boy Micro. :fc:
Good choice. I went with the gameboy pocket.

[orangecrush]

I went with Game & Watch for the handheld question.
Which one?

[lordzeppelin]

I went with Game & Watch for the handheld question.
Oh shit...maybe I changed my answer to the Game & Watch Mario Bros...I don't remember now. Cause I wasn't sure if the Virtual Boy was considered "portable".

What about the FF question?

[JasonF]

You guys need to read the question better:

"Name a Nintendo handheld or system that has been announced or released in North America."

I went with the Nintendo 64.

[orangecrush]

There are many more choices of handhelds than home systems.

[JasonF]

There are many more choices of handhelds than home systems.

Agreed, but Corvin called it the "handheld question" and zeppelin said he didn't pick the Virtual Boy because he wasn't sure if it would be considered a handheld. :p

[lordzeppelin]

"Name a Nintendo handheld or system that has been announced or released in North America."

Yeah, well maybe the Bus has an epic failure in question wording...so there. :p

Regardless, the N64 was a shit choice.

[The Bus]

Alright, putting together stuff now. Sorry for the delay guys.

[JasonF]

Yeah, well maybe the Bus has an epic failure in question wording...so there. :p

We were trying to avoid the obvious answers ;) BTW - I don't think a generic answer of game and watch should count. The answer should include the actual game like Zelda.

[lordzeppelin]

aww fuck...and I agree with Orange...I specified the Mario Bros. one.

[pinata242]

So, what, like 3 people read the question correctly? :)
Are you suggesting that anyone that answered with a handheld read it incorrectly?

I read it right and tried to go off the beaten path. Clearly I wasn't alone :lol: Should have just gone with DSi like my first instinct (announced). Oh well.

There are eggs in Double Dash. Yoshi and Birdo have eggs.

There are coins...but I'm not sure they are a usable item, and most certainly are not a weapon.

Agreed. Also, not listing them back to back is some nice work-procrastinating crack.

OK, while I'm tabulating next round. I'm counting these as wrong answers unless someone can prove otherwise:

Final Fantasy Tactics II and Final Fantasy Tactics SNES

To my knowledge, neither of these exist.

[pinata242]

FFT Advance 2 exists, but not "FFT2".

I'd call it wrong.

The only reason I remember it is because it was one of the most returned games we ever had for the N64...people would buy that fucker, and be back in my EB 90 minutes later returning it.

Oh, I know, but the first one was such a piece of garbage...Really, at one point, in my store, we had one copy of the game that was bought and returned 9 times. we put a dot on the inside of the box, and tracked it. We couldn't even sell the thing when it was put on clearance for $15 a few weeks before the holiday rush.

haha, yeah. but it's the thought that counts. :lol:

And now, for the final round... Standings before Round 15:

As long as I beat Chibul...
Question 15 really gave me the red ass. I wanted to put R4 cause it came with the Jog-Con, but the controller wasn't 'required'...fuckin Gyromite...

[SomethingMore]

dammit... had I not put "Final Fantasy Tactics (SNES)", and just put "Final Fantasy Tactics", I'd have got 2 points instead of 5. Weak sauce. :)

Starfox 64, DAMN good answer. Who had that one? Which reminds me, which game came with the RAM expansion pak? And no one posted Samba DiAmigo?

I think that was the best question this round.

[The Bus]

I'd be more than happy to help write questions but there's no way I'm doing the results again. :lol:

[fumanstan]

If there was a flexing smiley face icon, i'd be using that one too! :banana:

[rabbit77]

Congrats stan! Wow, my score went to shit. You all need to try harder. :lol:

Nice job, Bus. repped. :D

[lordzeppelin]

Starfox 64, DAMN good answer. Who had that one? Which reminds me, which game came with the RAM expansion pak? And no one posted Samba DiAmigo?

I think that was the best question this round.
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron.

And Samba was my first thought, so I figured it was too obvious. Probably because I still play my Dreamcast...

[fumanstan]

That was fun, thanks for the time and effort The Bus! It was fun watching the updated results show up. Too bad I still have another hour of work. :p

[Michael Corvin]

Thanks for a fun Round 2 Bus!

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron.


That doesn't sound right.

* just checked Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_Pak) and it came with Donkey Kong 64.

I totally thought people would go for Diablo II. Oh well, I would have gotten 2 instead of 3. Very fun game guys.

[Jeremy517]

yeah, thanks Bus. for making me second-to-last!!
;) I kid.
Great game! I can see this spreading to other areas on the forum.

[Chris_D]

Thanks, I'm happy because I did much better than the previous round. Still, so many people really had to pick Sonic Spinball?? booo :p

[lordwow]

Starfox 64, DAMN good answer. Who had that one? Which reminds me, which game came with the RAM expansion pak? And no one posted Samba DiAmigo?

I think that was the best question this round.

That was mine. I think it was the only unique answer I had :lol:

[The Bus]

Didn't it also come with Perfect Dark?

I wonder what the scores would be if people read the questions. ;)

Guys, please read the questions carefully. There's no trick questions, just make sure you're answering what I'm asking!


This was with 33% of the players in so far. :lol:

EDIT: Nevermind.

We doing another?

[Michael Corvin]

Didn't it also come with Perfect Dark?


Not according to the wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_Pak) page.

Also, without the add-on, most of Perfect Dark is inaccessible (including the single player mode). The box for Perfect Dark included the disclaimer, "Expansion Pak Required for Maximum Gameplay!"

It also appears only two games actually required it, Majora's Mask and DK64.

[lordzeppelin]

I'm telling you that Wiki page is not complete. I distinctly remember it being packed with Rogue Squadron, at least for a little while. Cause we had people trying to return it without the expansion pak...

[pinata242]

^ That's how I got it, from Blockbuster, IIRC. I still have the N64 box in my attic should anyone need photo proof.

Oh, and not that I care, but regarding my Goldeneye weapon answer (Watch Laser), I got it from here: http://davidwonn.kontek.net/ge007stats.html

I never played the game much but since it listed damage and ammo, I assumed you could tickle someone with it in game. Maybe not.

[Michael Corvin]

Interesting. IGN (http://retro.ign.com/articles/925/925096p1.html) doesn't recall that either:

The Expansion Pak, which debuted at around $50 in stores during the holiday season of 1998, was not a requirement....

So, Nintendo was smart to not require the Expansion Pak right away. It wasn't until late 1999 the Nintendo finally released a game that required the add-on to play: Donkey Kong 64. And then Nintendo did something even better -- it included the Expansion Pak in the first roll out of DK64 so no player was left behind. That is how you foster good will for an add-on. The 32X used its own series of games, splintering the audience for the add-on. Nintendo's approach was far more inclusive, waiting a year before ever thinking of making the memory booster essential.

The second (and only other) game that required the Expansion Pak was 2000's Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Majora's Mask did not include an Expansion Pak.

The first (only?) pack in was DK64 which came out in November '99. Rogue Squadron came out in December '98.

Even at the end of the Rogue Squadron review (http://ign64.ign.com/articles/153/153964p1.html) you have:
1. Buy the 4MB Expansion Pak. Without it, you won't see Rogue anywhere near its full potential.

Rules:
<li>No using Google, Gamefaqs, Wikipedia, etc if you don't have to. Try to remain moral in this.

[pinata242]

Well, if the OP's not around why don't we organize Reverse Sheep? I would say that Googling or using Wikipedia is OK in this round. I've purposefully tried to make the questions not too open-ended.

Round 2: Reverse Sheep

01) Name a playable character in Super Street Fighter II - The New Challengers.
02) Name a Nintendo handheld or system that has been announced or released in North America.
03) Name a weapon or item used in the Mario Kart series.
04) Name a Final Fantasy game that was released in the US.
05) Name a console series that used an official NFL or NBA license: teams, league name, players, etc. (Note: Name a specific game only if it's not part of a specific series. Madden 2005 is a wrong answer. "Madden series" is not.)
06) Name a weapon used in Goldeneye for the N64.
07) Name a US launch title on a Playstation system or portable.
08) Name a released movie that is based on a video game.
09) Name a LucasArts adventure game released between 1986 and 2000.
10) Name a currently-announced or past Guitar Hero or Rock Band game or expansion. (Track Packs do not count).
11) Name a Robot Master (boss villain) from the first three Mega Man games on the NES (Example: Snake Man from Mega Man 3).
12) Name an XBLA or PSN game that has had its own thread on this forum (before today!).
13) Name a Sonic the Hedgehog game.
14) Name a US-released game that requires a specific controller or attachment and/or was sold with one.
15) Name an already-released game developed by Blizzard.

:lol: Climb up in your attic and get that Star Wars game out so I can tell you the same.

[pinata242]

Well, I'm not going to admit defeat on this, but the 3 boxes I have that indicate expansion pack support (Rogue Squadron, Battle for Naboo, and Majora's Mask) all say they're enhanced for it, but none of them say they include it.

It's possible they were shrink-wrapped together or something, but I can't prove.

Luckily, you can't disprove it so we can both suck it ;)

Look, I'm not saying it was exclusively packed with it, or that it wasn't available separately...I'm just saying there was a packaging of RS with the Pak. It may have just been a holiday thing...We even had 2 different SKUs for the game with or without it at EB...

I used wikipedia and google copiously, since I also read the original post that said it was OK. I certainly don't know enough about video games to participate in something like this, which is why I sat out of the original game.

Damn you guys are defensive. :lol: Just a discussion for a boring Friday.

[lordzeppelin]

I'm just trying to show I'm not making shit up. not like i'm upset or anything...I mean, I placed higher than chibul, and that's a victory for me.

Besides. Wiki isn't exactly accurate for stuff like that. The launch lists don't have Soul calibur listed for the Dreamcast...

I decided to not be an ass and score people who named specific titles in a series as wrong, I just added them to the series total.

No one said: NFL/NBA 2K-series

Hey, nobody else picked it ;)

I had a brain-fart. I was like "everyone will say MAdden or NBA Live, etc. Then I started to think and completely forgot the question was only for NBA or NFL. Until now.
