There was a pretty awsome game my parents bought me for christmas about 7 or
8 years ago called say what.
The game has five plastic balls about the size of a tennis ball which fit
in holes at the top, each round it'll give you a famous phrase scrambled in
five chunks each chunk represented by one of the balls. for example,the
balls might read "Power, the, of, grayskull, by"
What you then need to do is rearrange the balls to make the correct phrase,
so in the above example you'd take the fourth ball representing "Grayskull"
and stick it at the end in position 5, while you took the fifth representing
"by" and stuck it at the start in position one.
This probably sounds more involved than it is, when working with the game
it's pretty instinctive.
All controls of the game are voiced menus, and you have various modes of
difficulty, for example a limited number of guesses or a limited time.
I will confess I cracked the thing in about the first half hour, but I do
enjoy the challenge from time to time, particularly sinse while it has a
limited number of phrases there are a good amount, about 200, and you don't
know which way they'll be scrambled.
There used to be a podcast review of the game for blind cool tech I believe,
but goodness knows what happened to that.
I also like the fact that there were different regional models, or at least
a Uk and Us one, sinse the one I heard on the blind cool tech podcast had an
american voice and different phrases, while the one I have has an english
voice and some phrases that are somewhat Uk specific, for example it
includes "I have a cunning plan" from Blackadder, and "who's line is it
anyway", which is a rather famous comedy program, as well as obviously lines
from generic bits of Pop culture such as the above mentioned heman.
Actually this is making me want to get the thing out and have another play
with it, which I will likely do next week when I'm back at my flat.
All the best,
Dark.
