Name the Game.... "Ahh...She went thatta way"

[Adultery]

Another hint: You can't jump.

"I can't dance".  -Genesis

Is it some obscure game, like a contemporary reboot of Centipede or Space Invaders with a story line?  (I'm trying to factor in that no-jump hint).

[stigzler]

You could jump on the arcade but not on the remakes?

[Adultery]

I didn't say that.

Not obscure at all.

Another hint: You play as Nathan "Rad" Spencer.

[Adultery]

?

[Draco1962]

I know the answer but it took about 30 or less seconds worth of Googling to get the answer, so I won't.

[stigzler]

wolfenstein?

[Adultery]

Yikes... Nah. Good guess though.

What happens if no one guesses? I can't really give out any more clues without giving the answer.

How about this.. It was a Capcom game. released as an arcade cabinet but also #9 on the top 10 best NES games of all time according to IGN.

Yeah, I had to look it up too. I've not played the game, but most anyone on this forum would certainly know it (ie it's not an obscure game). You may have to give up the answer on this one. 

[hansolo77]

Pick a different one Adultery.  I had to google it too..  I'm like RedDog, I've never played it.  Shame nobody could guess it.  I think it was even remade a second time for Xbox Arcade, but that might just be a fancier way of playing the NES version.

[Adultery]

Well we all know it's Bionic Commando then?

I'll pass it to Drac.

[stigzler]

Damn - I used to like Bionic Commando on the C64. I'll plop the video down here as nice to see a pic/vid to a game. Just noticed what a great machine the NES was for an 8-bit machine.

Here goes...

"Now the gate has been unlatched, headstones pushed aside, corpses shift and offer room, a fate you must ABIDE!"

[hansolo77]

Diablo?

[Draco1962]

Very cold.. try again?

[hansolo77]

Bayonetta?

[Draco1962]

Even colder! A few more guesses and I will give a hint.

[stigzler]

Devil May Cry

[Draco1962]

Nope!

[Draco1962]

I will give a nudge (and probably eliminate a few things in the process)...

..think console.

[hansolo77]

Heh a nudge he says...  Diablo, Bayonetta, and Devil May Cry were all console games. `\o/` (<-that's me shrugging)

Dante's Inferno?

[Draco1962]

7th generation console... 

[stigzler]

Demon Souls?

[Draco1962]

Let me know if you guys need another clue...
