The Poorly Described Game... um, game.

[DeadPoolX]

DPX ... yep, it's a sports game.

Tawm ... er, no. The game is not just played in Europe, but world-wide.

Which console generation does this game belong to?

[Tawmis]

While DPX narrows down console, I will try to narrow down the game -

Was the game on the console, a tennis game?

[Rath Darkblade]

DPX ... second.

Tawm ... nope, not tennis!

[DeadPoolX]

Is this an individual or team-based sport?

(BTW, you're supposed to provide a clue when some guesses incorrectly, so telling Tawmis that "no, it's not Tennis" isn't particularly useful.)

[Tawmis]

DPX is correct - guesses, even if not the game title specifically - are supposed to yield hints; typically about the guess, as if we're jarring your memory.

Like you might say:

"No, it wasn't Tennis. I do remember that each team has eleven people on each side."

(Which would give a clue that maybe this was a [American] football game)

[Rath Darkblade]

Oops. *blush* Sorry.

DPX ... no, it is not a team-based sport. But I think two people could play.

[DeadPoolX]

Oops. *blush* Sorry.

DPX ... no, it is not a team-based sport. But I think two people could play.

Golf?

[Rath Darkblade]

No, it isn't golf.

Hint: there is a time element.

[DeadPoolX]

No, it isn't golf.

Hint: there is a time element.

Okay... since most sports have some sort of time element involved, let's try something else: You said this is a second generation console, so would the console in question be the Atari 2600?

[Tawmis]

Is it on one of the ATARI systems (2600 or 5200)?

[Rath Darkblade]

DPX and Tawm ... hmm. Wiki sez it was originally released for Atari 8-bit and later for Atari 7800, but I played it on my old Atari 2600 with no issues.

Hint: sometimes, the game has to be stopped for cleaning.

[Tawmis]

Would the game in question be Ballblazer?

[Rath Darkblade]

Never heard of it ... no, it's not that.

[DeadPoolX]

One on One: Dr. J vs. Larry Bird?

I remember playing that game on my Apple II, but it was also available on both the Atari 8-bit and Atari 7800.

[Rath Darkblade]

DPX is correct! Your turn.
