I just can't think of the name and don't want to cheat by going to Google $:-\$
Google isn't cheating in the rules, just using Google's advanced search tool where you search with an image and it finds websites with similar ones.

Yeah if you recognise the game but just can't remember what it's called, I think it's fair enough to search with a few descriptors. Just don't image search the pic!

Oh, ok then it's The Battle of Olympus. Somebody else can have my turn. If somebody wants to post a screenshot of Soul Blazer though that would be cool, cuz I love that game. Soul Blazer.

Damn kids, too lazy to post their own screenshots...

*not Soul Blazer

That must be a Monster Hunter, I wouldn't be able to guess it though.

yorost · « **Reply #108 on:** February 22, 2013, 11:30:06 AM »

Probably the Wii's Monster Hunter if you're right. Looks like a good guess, to me.

Close enough.

It's Monster Hunter Tri.

...Dream Theater alert!

I wanted to post this game, but figured nobody would know it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFyJYFklNY0

It's been a LONG time, but that has to be River Raid.

Stumped already? Where's Crowley at? He'll get this one for sure.

Ħ · « **Reply #117 on:** February 22, 2013, 02:19:30 PM »

That looks so familiar.

XJDenton · « **Reply #118 on:** February 22, 2013, 02:46:30 PM »

Myst?

bosk1 · « **Reply #119 on:** February 22, 2013, 02:47:53 PM »

No, but you are oh so VERY close!

Elite · « **Reply #120 on:** February 22, 2013, 02:51:22 PM »

Morrowind?

Morrowind?

YES!

Okay, actually, no. I've never even heard of that game.

Keep guessing.

Elite · « **Reply #122 on:** February 22, 2013, 02:57:02 PM »

It looks too old to be Morrowind actually, but since you said it was close to Myst, I had to give it a go.

bosk1 · « **Reply #123 on:** February 22, 2013, 03:03:09 PM »

It was definitely created with Myst in mind, and the advertisements even came right out and said so.

XJDenton · « **Reply #124 on:** February 22, 2013, 03:09:05 PM »

Riven: The sequel to Myst?

bosk1 · « **Reply #125 on:** February 22, 2013, 03:12:37 PM »

GREAT guess!

But no.

bosk1 · « **Reply #126 on:** February 22, 2013, 03:21:15 PM »

Hint: List Myst, there is a log "cabin" on an island. The island (and the "cabin") is modeled after a place in the San Juan Islands.

That's enough to find the answer on Google, but you will still probably need a pretty discerning eye to pick up on the clues Google will give you.

Cool Chris · « **Reply #127 on:** February 22, 2013, 03:38:39 PM »

My extended back yard. Too bad the islands are replete with cabins.

bosk1 · « **Reply #128 on:** February 22, 2013, 03:39:22 PM »

Chris, you KNOW the answer to this one. I know you do.

theseoafs · « **Reply #129 on:** February 22, 2013, 04:01:27 PM »

Couldn't tell what it was, so I googled the image. Pretty good.

bosk1 · « **Reply #130 on:** February 22, 2013, 04:01:59 PM »

How? I changed the file name.

Fuzzboy · « **Reply #131 on:** February 22, 2013, 04:05:02 PM »

google.com/images, to the left of the blue search button there is a camera, click on it and enter the file url and it will do a reverse image search

Elite · « **Reply #132 on:** February 22, 2013, 04:11:26 PM »

Wow, that renders this whole thread pretty useless

Cool Chris · « **Reply #133 on:** February 22, 2013, 04:11:37 PM »

Wow #1: Never knew you could do that.

Wow #2: Never knew that was a game. Bosk, I am pretty late to the party regarding the subject, despite my area of residence.

That's why the OP stated that people should not do this, as it would pointless.

Whoa! I never knew that.

Not sure what the time limit is supposed to be on this, but should I drop some more hints to keep it moving, or just let it lie until someone gets it?

TioJorge · « **Reply #137 on:** February 22, 2013, 04:25:17 PM »

I'm gonna feel so stupid if this isn't it...because I keep going back to Myst/Riven and the only game that looks that Myst-like and isn't...and with that friggin' log cabin is..

Promised Land?

bosk1 · « **Reply #138 on:** February 22, 2013, 04:27:12 PM »

YES!

Did you really know it, or did you have to cheat? #notjudgingu

TioJorge · « **Reply #139 on:** February 22, 2013, 04:29:19 PM »

I'm far too lazy to do all that Google stuff, which I just found out on this page. I knew it because my dad is a huge Queensryche fan and got me this game whenever he saw me playing Myst one day.
