So after sleeping on it, I’ve decided that ONE lucky winner will get the entire Humble Indie Bundle 4! This includes 12 games and game soundtracks! Sound good to you? All you have to do to win this amazing prize is guess which game I’m talking about! I’ll start off by giving you three clues, then adding another clue every hour or so (excluding time I’m asleep 
) starting from when someone makes their first guess. If you manage to get it before Xmas, I’ll send it to you on Xmas day. If nobody has got it by then, the clues will become ridiculously easy on Xmas day, guaranteeing that somebody will receive a copy of the Humble Indie Bundle 4 on Xmas day!

P.S. This also counts as a 60,000 hits party. ;D

The King of Dragons?
December 22, 2011 at 9:01 pm |
CONGRATULATIONS!
You’ve earned another hint.
December 22, 2011 at 10:15 pm
Wait was I right?
December 23, 2011 at 12:23 am
No.
I just gave you a hint for getting it wrong.
Have another hint!
December 23, 2011 at 1:59 am |
I don’t even know what to guess. I’ll just wait for another hint.
December 23, 2011 at 2:01 am |
I just found the hidden hint. Could it be 1941: Counter Attack?
December 23, 2011 at 2:09 am |
Nope, but I’ll add one more hint before I hit the sack.
December 23, 2011 at 2:14 am |
Could it be Breath of Fire lll?
December 23, 2011 at 2:15 am |
That’d be too obvious!
December 23, 2011 at 2:58 am |
Yea, I know. But this picture reminded me somehow of it. So I just thought I’d give it a try.
December 23, 2011 at 2:59 am |
Oh well, have a clue for trying!
…yes. I ended up staying up longer than expected. Don’t judge me!
December 24, 2011 at 3:57 am |
Wait, one of the characters is synonymous with arachnids? Could it be… Alien vs. Predator? I didn’t check most of the clues if they are right, but I still decided to give this a try. I mean, the Alien Queen looks a lot like an arachnid.
December 24, 2011 at 12:01 pm |
Please, have as many tries as you want! You’re not right, but you’ve earned another hint!
December 24, 2011 at 6:35 pm |
Ok, I can recognize a guy and some big red thingy (I guess it’s alive). I also can recognize game bars so I’ll say it’s some fighting game. Now, which one, I don’t know. Gotta think a bit.
December 24, 2011 at 6:38 pm |
Interesting deductions…
Here’s another clue to help you think!
December 24, 2011 at 6:40 pm |
Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter??
December 24, 2011 at 6:43 pm |
I KNOW! SUPER GEM FIGHTER MINI MIX!! Right? Or am I wrong again?

Keep trying though.
December 24, 2011 at 6:46 pm |
-_- Damn… And I was so sure…
December 24, 2011 at 6:47 pm |
Keep reading the clues and I’m sure you’ll get it. ;D
December 24, 2011 at 6:49 pm |
Lol, that’s what my mother tells me when I’m stuck with my math homework. “Just keep reading, you’ll get it sometime.”
December 24, 2011 at 6:51 pm |
Pfft, this is different to maths.
I’m certainly hoping it’s more fun than maths too. But one of these clues will eventually click, then all the hints will add up and the answer will reveal itself!
December 24, 2011 at 7:07 pm |
Yeah, it is funnier than maths. But it’s still hard. I still think it’s a fighter game… I mean, after that new picture, I can’t be wrong. Health bars, power bars and two things fighting. And lets add that there are always at least 2 characters on the screen, it must be a fighter. The cover art looks like there are many characters on the picture (and in most fighter cover arts they put it like that), I know Street Fighter is a multiplatform (doesn’t have to be SF), also, I know it’s damn old so a character could be made already in 1941. I know there a lots of Street Fighters and I know one has been released soon. I don’t remember if the X button has been used for Special Attacks, but I do know that in the one I played the boss looked like an arachnid. Also, Marvel heroes have been in movies. Is it Marvel vs. Capcom?
December 24, 2011 at 7:13 pm |
Good to see you thinking outside the box. Your assumptions are logical, so keep re-reading and double checking against the clues (including this new one).
December 24, 2011 at 7:19 pm |
Nah, I’ll take a little break. I’ll come back later. Bye!
December 25, 2011 at 3:41 am |
The King of Fighters Xlll???
December 25, 2011 at 10:14 am |
Nope, but it should be easy to guess today.
December 25, 2011 at 11:03 pm |
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3?
December 25, 2011 at 11:04 pm |

WE HAVE A WINNER!!! Congratulations, I’ll send you the link to your prize now!
