Google can help with reverse questions, but not so much with sheep questions. Sheepish answers are based on what the general consensus thinks. Basically sheepish answers are gut reactions of the first thing you think of when asked a question. It doesn't require deep analysis, and deep analysis would actually hurt you. For example, Super Mario Bros is the biggest game of all time, but that doesn't mean people are going to instantly think of it as a spin-off of Donkey Kong. That's not a gut reaction to think of Mario as a spin-off. You would have to actually sit and think about it for a moment before you realize it is.

You should have gone with another, easier to answer question like :

S: : What number am I thinking of?

While I probably would have said SMB, Donkey Jong Jr is not an obscure game.

Decker

Not for me!

Jr. just happened to be one of the NES games I had when I was a kid. I actually never cared much for the game and barely played it.

I had no idea. I also thought more that didn't know would have simply put 'starman.' Idiots.

Drexl

I was really close to saying Jeff Bridges, but then I wondered about the origin of the username.

Speaking of usernames, I'm a bit surprised that Taffer has 3 questions in the game and nothing about Thief: The Dark Project.

It might be obscure to someone who wasn't a kid in the 80s.

I didn't care much for the NES port either. In a much earlier post I showed a picture of that Coleco Mini-Arcade, and I loved that port of DK Jr. I played the heck out of that little machine. All this talk makes me still wish I had it because now I have the itch to play it again.

I thought about it, but I figured the Thief series was too obscure. I guess it couldn't have been any worse than the Earthbound question though.

Hey, are we going to do part 2 today? I'm dying to see what happens and what "The Controversy" will be (and am pretty fearful it pertains to me somehow).

taffer

The controversy is probably question #21. Everyone voted for starman9000 and slam dunked it too.
