The Incredible Machine?

This is a very good guess! It is also not right!

Good eye for those of you who recognized this as Epyx. Bonus reveal due to that.

Silent Running: The Game

The term “Chips n Bits” is popping into my brain for some reason, but I can’t remember if that’s a game or a retail store.

I’m sure everyone is shocked, shocked, that I picked another programming game.

Wait - does this mean I’m next? Hmm - how is everyone doing the unmasking? I usually don’t do much in the way of art manipulation.

If you know how to use layers in e.g. GIMP, you can make a full black layer, and delete bits.

If not, with a little planning, you can just use black rectangles in e.g. MS Paint and take the shots in reverse order.

Or use paint.net and create a second layer that you paint all black, and cut ‘holes’ in to reveal (my method)

Got it - I’m using a pixelbook right now at work so I don’t think I have much in the way of tools. I’ll post something when I get home later tonight.

Take the game box off your shelf, lay it on the floor, and place a sheet of black construction paper over it. Cut a small rectangle in the construction paper to reveal a portion of the box art. Take a photo. Voila!

I thought everyone did it this way?

Ex-SWoo · 2019-03-19T22:48:09.857Z

Alright, let’s give this a shot! (my reveals are in circles since I couldn’t figure out how to be square)

That feeling when you are positive you know what the game is but don’t want to guess because you literally just did a round and can’t deal with the stress.
