I see what you are thinking, but neither is correct.
One guess was previously relatively close.
I think I know what my next guess is gonna be.
The Pandora Directive?
Close Combat 2 A bridge too far?
Well done! Kinda surprised this took as long to be honest.
Was that your ânext guessâ or did the latest image change your thought?
1- How do you guys even remember the box cover of games you played 5,10 or 25 years ago?
2- How the heck do you match the bespeckled image to the box?
Squint.
This is literally what I do.
That wasnât me, that was @anymunym ;)
In this particular case, I had that manual with me for my whole time servicing the military, hoping it would help me XD
That being said, I personally hate the mosaics: really canât see a thing. Also I prefer when the game is focused on remembering details from boxes we were drooling over whence we couldnât afford all the games we wanted - well, at least that was my case.
Speaking of which, back to black-boxing!
For Pool of Radiance, it was entirely due to the shade of gold it happened to be. And that was the only goldbox game that was predominantly âblackâ on the interior image (Azure Bonds having more blues/purples, etc.).
Mass Effect?
Starflight.
Yep, that would have been my next guess as well.
As for the new one: Star Ocean?
Iâm terrible at the crystallise thing. The CC2 box is burned into my brain, but like every other crystal one I an only âseeâ it (even with squinting) after I know what it is. Most of the time I just see giant pandas or owls etc. Itâs kind of like looking at clouds.
As for this box:
age of empires 2: age of kings
1- I have clear images of my favorites that will always be in my head.
2- I canât. But itâs fun to try and throw out a guess once in a while.
I havenât gotten a single one correct yet, and it is amazing that these guys can do it.
It looks dreamcasty.
Sonic 5?
Space Crusade
