This is a game of kings. Try to pick something iconic or recognizable on the cover, a grey splotch from CoD Ghost probably won’t be much fun for anyone to guess. If the guess is right I’d recommend a macro shot so people can marvel at the full art work together. You know the drill, help your boys and girls out if they’re struggling. What I’ll do, or anyone can do, is if it’s been a day or two without guesses, post in here asking if someone wants to take a crack at it. If not, feel free to post another image. We aren’t keeping score or anything. If the poster wants it guessed on, they’ll probably be posting hints. Also if someone guessed it and hasn’t posted the next one, again, tag them and see if they want to post an image, if non responsive jump in if you like.

Me too until he gave the hint. That made me look more closely.

Brute Force?

Nope, those are not Brutus' balls.

This is the worst hint of all-time, but I got a free copy of this game from Game Fan magazine for submitting Sega CD FIFA codes. At least that tells you the rough era.

Gex for 3DO - Gex’ balls?

Edit: Nevermind, not the right shade of green for Gex balls.

You're getting hot with the timeframe. Gex released the following year but had one less dimension and two less playable species.

I'd prefer to give a hint versus just give up.

I?m not getting anywhere. Maybe a bigger slice could help

If that doesn't do it, I'll do a different crop when back at my PC.

If you're going to put a clue in what is seemingly an unrelated sentence, it needs to be much more obvious than that.

I'm going to double guess, Clay Fighters or Killer Instinct?

Lol I’m an idiot, I was looking at it and was like but what alien game did Atari do in that era…?

These choice crops are getting impossible lol

In retrospect the clues were pretty good if not a bit vague

Oy! My last choice crop for Gun.Smoke (Nintendo Entertainment System) was suuuper easy. Y'all just be slackin' on that one.

I had it after I got it wrong.

Well, on this one if I don't do a choice crop it will be super obvious. It might be obvious anyways. :D

Choice crops don't bother me. Most games would be super obvious without a choice crop.

The googly eyes on the ladder gave it away. That's A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia (Nintendo Entertainment System): a surprisingly fun title that I came late to the party with when I first played the

installment.

It's one of my favorite NES games. Unique puzzle platformer.

Correct!

See? A choice crop doesn't always have to be crazy-hard. What beautiful cover art to such a fun and iconic video game!
