meany!

i was thinking of a 'Jinxter' type of game, but it involved Fish and a text+graphic adventure.

the name of the game is Fish! by magnetic scrolls(did Jinxter too). I never played it, which was why i was struggling; but i could see the cover of the game in my mind.

EDIT: kinda too obvious a name to just guess outright, still heres the moby info:
http://www.mobygames.com/game/fish

The game didn't make me want to buy it, but the cover was odd enough to be memorable.

The moby info mentions the 'seven deadly fins' so i go ahead and post a long clue1 to keep you happy for 7days.

	Put an end to popups!

Clue1:

"A simple game that had part of its name rhyme with ‘icky’
Birdseye fishfingers give a clue if your not too picky

Old world platforms on this machine it was made
Collect what? To ensure you get paid?

To be fair, that last game guessed did offer me
the name of this game - so now tis down to thee."

Came out on a few(not all) of the 8bits during the 80's from a company that for a number of years produced many titles on these systems.

It has an underwater theme like the preivious game.

Happy guessing and see you in 7.

Congrats CoT it is indeed Fish!. A text adventure game by Magnetic Scrolls. A pretty good one at that because it you had to start off with 3 mini adventures.


But first you had to figure a way to get out of the goldfish bowl.

you can do it ZargonX

ok Spaced - but due to the obvious sophistication of the game its getting hard to post more clues.

Clue6:

Birdseye is a brand of frozen food in the uk, with a famous tv advertising campaign for thier fishfingers featuring whom? This will give you the first word(one only) of the game.

wow! the gold+silver placed guessers seem to be out!

damn wish i could guess it

So you all got the first word for the name i suspect?

Clue7:

the last word in this games title rhyms with 'old' and is very valuable.

now all you need is the final word that fits between Clue6+7 and ryhms with 'icky'

someone must get this now - even if they dont know the game.
