Gotta make my hints harder



Signature goes here!

#48. Slugfest (Arcade)

A pinball game based on baseball. Basically one player would pitch, the other would hit the swing button and try to hit the ball into a sensor that wasn't lit "OUT".

Two of the best things about the game are home runs and pinch hits. You have a limited number of pinch hits, and every time you call one up, a ramp lifts in the middle of the playing area, and hitting a ball off of it at the right speed and angle would land the ball in the "bleachers" for a home run. And any time you got the bases loaded, the display would show a heckler and he would start heckling you. The ramp would raise and you could hit a grand slam, which would also nail the heckler with the ball.

But the best part is the game gave out baseball cards for doing well. It's an amazingly simple game that still stands up today. Also, the only really good multiplayer pinball game that I know of, where you are actually in direct active competition and not just watching scores. It's a long drive to the two cities I know of with arcades that still have it but I try to stop by whenever I am near.



#48 - 1080 Snowboarding: Probably my favorite snowboarding game. Most snowboarding games nowadays put a greater emphasis on doing tricks, but 1080 had a greater emphasis on downhill racing, and I totally dig that. It was the most realistic snowboarding game I had played at the time, and I really do like putting it in every now and again to race through Dragon Cave or traverse through the Golden Forest. Love it. It didn't age as well as it could have but it's got a certain nostalgia factor to it.

Hint for #47 - In this game, you are a "commander" that joins a group of bounty hunters. Your landlord mistakenly calls this group "Stale Horse". Customization is the biggest draw of this game. Also, one of your neighbors really likes his toupees.

Ok number 49 was Illusion of Time on the SNES. I guess the hints were that bad... Or maybe I am the only one who liked this game when it came out...

Number 48 is a recent entry of a very famous franchise.

Hint for #48. I don't expect this one to be guessed (though no one guessed my #49 which was easy as hell, but whatever), a racing game where you set up your own racing team.

#47 - this game's title is a nod to the second Star Wars movie (original trilogy).
