Site Remembers Forgotten Games For You, Wholesale

Posted by simoniker on from the help-the-aged dept.

Anonymous Howard writes "Just found a new webpage called WhatWasThatGame.com - it has the potential to be very, very useful for everyone who wants to play a game from the past, but can't find it until they can remember its name. Basically, you tell the site what you remember about the game, and then readers tell you what the game was! I've been using it for a few days and it hasn't let me down yet, no matter what obscure game I've thrown at it." The site's still early in development, but help them out on their unsolved games if you can.

    I find it funny half the posts are wondering if it'll go down, or if its down yet. Some poor new service comes around and everyone sits on the main page hitting 'refresh' screaming "WHY WON'T IT DIE" as the poor victums bandwidth costs go threw the roof.

    More on topic, kickass site, I actually came upon it doing a search on /. for enders game looking for a particular story, ended up posting something about an obscure sega game i've been searching for for years.

    Kinda off topic but /. should really start posting the google caches of links in the stories or something to take the edge off.

    Does really someone ask about Pacman not knowing it's name?
