Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 All of the quotes listed here are the FIRST LINE of a classic SUPER NINTENDO game. That means either the first line of the prologue, or if there is no mandatory prologue the first text you see when playing the game. If you have a guess at the answer to one or more questions, post them! I'll strike out the quotes as they are correctly guessed. There is only one rule: Do not use Google to find the answers. Seriously, this just takes the fun out of it for other people. NAME THAT CLASSIC SUPER NES GAME BY ITS FIRST LINE 1. THE YEAR IS 2050. And the megaplexes are monsters casting long shadows. (Shadowrun; found by Lilith) 2. BIG MAN is strong and has great endurance. His boomerang axe is powerful but slow. 3. A voice came from above. "My follower, since you will be able to speak with all living things, you should have a name." (Soul Blazer; found by Lilith) 4. Long ago, the War of the Magi reduced the world to a scorched wasteland, and magic simply ceased to exist. (Final Fantasy 6 AKA Final Fantasy III in the US; found by Nikki) 5. This is the story of Harley: genius, scientist, and all-around cool dude. Whether he is flying his jetpack or inventing an experimental shrinker machine, he is in total control. Until one day... 6. Without warning, the island suddenly appeared in the sky. Four foul and wicked beings claimed it for themselves. (Lufia: The Fortress of Doom; Lilith was close; found by Alorael) 7. Hiiiiiiii kids! Some pesky rats have infested my lovely fun house and I need your help to get rid of them! (Krusty's Super Fun House; found by Lilith; yes, oh god) 8. Every one hundred years the forces of good mysteriously start to weaken. Thus, the power of Dracula starts to revive itself. His power grows stronger and stronger every one hundred years. (Cabadath was close) (Super Castlevania; found by Alorael) 9. ......, I don't have enough strength ......, Give yourself to God Pray to God! Praise God! You must become God's strength ...... (Breath of Fire II; found by Lilith; MAN that was a great game) 10. Help me... Please help me... I am a prisoner in the dungeon of the castle. (The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past; found by Nikki) 11. About 4.6 billion years ago, the "Sun" had nine smaller stars and named the third one "Gaia" 12. We, the Lords of Waterdeep, have gathered to purge our city of an ancient evil. (Eye of the Beholder; found by Ephesos) 13. NOM ENGINEER WORK SYSTEM Model CPS-9204 Copyright © 2105, 2109, 2114 NOM Corporation All Rights Reserved (Mega Man X; found by Lilith; om nom nom) 14. Actually, he's already here.... 15. Podunk, U.S.A. Fall, 1965. An experiment is about to conclude... "My friends, prepare to be a part of history!" (Secret of Evermore; found by Alorael) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Ouroboros Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Just a random guessing but, is 8 is Castlevania? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 A couple of these look familiar - more than in the NES game, but the only one I'll hazard a guess at now is #10 - probably my favourite Zelda game evar (OoT comes a very close second): The Legend Of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 OH DUH! 4 is FF6!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 1) Is it Shadowrun? Gotta be Shadowrun. The Genesis version was better, though. 3) Soulblazer. I can recognise that awkward Enix dialogue anywhere. 4) Pretty sure this is Final Fantasy 6. NIKKIIIII 6) Lufia 2. I think it's 2, anyway. 7) Krusty's Super Fun House. Oh God. 9) Breath of Fire 2. Way too easy. 11) Is it Illusion of Gaia? Here's where we see if I can make good on my boast about recognising awkward Enix dialogue. 15) This has to be Earthbound, right? There can't be more than one game with a Podunk in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 11 -- No, but it IS an Enix game. It's a much better game than Illusion of Gaia, too. 15 -- Actually, there is no Podunk in Earthbound AKA Mother 2. Podunk is in Earthbound Zero AKA Mother. But yeah -- I very nearly put down "name the other game with Podunk" as a bonus question. P.S. Aren't you amazed that I made a list of SNES games and managed not to mention Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, Super Mario Kart, or Super Metroid? I know I'm amazed.

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Also, taking a bit of a shot in the dark here, but is 13 Mega Man X? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Shot in the dark. 8. Wolfenstein Edit: Nevermind, I should make sure 1) the game is about the implied subject 2) the game was available for the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Wolfenstein was TOTALLY available on the SNES. Not #8, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Still doesn't have to do with dracula though. How about a more obvious shot in the dark: 8. Dracula (with some variations such as Count Dracula, Dracula: Scary Story, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 6. No, it's Lufia I. Lufia II doesn't start with the Sinistrals around. 8. Some Castlevania. Super Castlevania? 11. Uh. Not Terranigma, I don't think. Soul Blazer? 15. Oh, Secret of Evermore. You poor red-headed stepchild to Secret of Mana. —Alorael, who didn't know there were Forgotten Realms games for SNES. Learn something new every day!

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 #6 is from the original Lufia, although it IS describing events that actually took place DURING Lufia II. The thing is, Secret of Evermore is way better than Secret of Mana could ever hope to be. (SoM / SD 2, anyway. SD 3 was pretty good.)

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Is #12 Dungeons and Dragons: Eye of the Beholder? I ask because I recall something near-identical as the intro of a later GBA title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 2. This is kind of a wild guess, but I remember a Mortal Combat-like fighting game where the Shao Khan figure was a fat guy with a shark mouth on his belly, sort of like a Snapping Turk from Yellow Submarine, but more naked. I vaguely recall it not really having any sort of intro or exhibition and just sort of getting right into the game, which would make the fighter description first text fit the game, but I can't remember the title of the game. Do I get half credit at least? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Monroe Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 #2 is more likely a Mega Man. [insert Anything Here] Man usually is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
