We occasionally get random people asking a very specific question about very specific games where they forget to mention the name of the game they're playing. The fun part is trying to figure out what they're referring to. What if we turned it into a game?

Rules: try to strike a balance between obscure and transparent without mentioning the title of the game. First one to guess right goes next.

I'll go first with something simple:

How do I spit farther? I have all these drinks to use but no matter what I try, my spit doesn't get far enough.

Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge

Great idea, btw. :)

Your turn!

I have to duck under and jump over lots of javelins, I have to evade lots of cubes, and no matter how good I am - I'll inevitably die, if I have the wrong kind of monitor attached.

Edit: changed a word, to make the description more accurate.

That should be Aztec Challenge. There was one level that couldn't be done on a B&W monitor IIRC.

If it's right, it's up for grabs, since I gotta run in a few minutes :-)

That's the one... :)

As I wrote, someone else may take the turn.

Since no one else wants to...

"I talk to myself while I'm stalking through the night."

Heavy Rain?

Me? :P

"I talk to myself while I'm stalking through the night." Not the one I have in mind, sorry.

Only if they made a videogame out of your life. And even then you'd still have to tell me the name of the game. ;)

Ok, another hint seems to be necessary:

I made bow and arrow cool, long before Lara.

Am surprised (unless I'm wrong).

Thief.
(But not Thi4f.)

You are not wrong. :)

It is indeed "Thief - the Dark Project"

Your turn.

Edit: typo

"This bird on my head keeps preventing me from jumping into deadly chasms."
