The Discussion Thread - The 14th Annual Greatest Games Event

[drbunnig]

Adding final clues for #40 and #39 which should make guessing them simpler.

40 - Crash Bandicoot 2
- If you go against one of the main conventions of the game in the first level, you’ll be rewarded.
- Your foe is now your friend… or is he?...
- …Your sister certainly doesn’t believe him
- This was her first appearance in the franchise. She would become playable in the following game.
- The first clue refers to the destruction of boxes / crates

39 (incorrect guesses - Castlevania: Rondo of Blood)
- A launch title for the first system it released on, it was sometimes criticised for having dark visuals that made it difficult to play on original hardware (subsequent hardware revisions remedied this issue). This is supposedly the reason the next game had brighter graphics.
- There are four unlockable modes, each of which give your character a boost on one specific attribute at the expense of others - magic, strength, subweapons, and luck.
- In some regions, this game shared the same name as the very first game in this series (other regions added a subtitle). Funnily enough, that first game was later released on the same system, as one of a number of classic games that were reissued.
- The most recent re-release of this game was on multiple platforms, as part of a collection with three other games from the same series.
- Your character carries one of the series’ most iconic weapons as he aims to vanquish a familiar vampiric foe.

37 - Resident Evil Remake
- What once got you access to the garden, now allows you to collect a powerful weapon.
- What was once permanently dead, may now rise again should you not take the necessary steps to prevent this.
- What once prompted a neat little cut scene, now allows an enemy to enter the room.
