Gaming artwork, Hall of Shame.

That is a very strange image to use for the game. If the artist only had the games title and nothing else to go by you would never come up with that. From just the name Phalanx the first thing that comes to mind would be historical battles from Rome or something similar, not a hill billy sat in a rocker playing the banjo whilst a space ship zooms by.

The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear Phalanx, is a pr0n game

The 2 Arnie games for amiga also have some hard gay action covers:

That seems like a competition/game that my parents play. It's called dictionary. Basically, you learn some really random words and what they mean. You sit with a group of six or so people and you state the word. Then everyone writes down what they think it means. Then the person that chose the word reads them out one by one and then people vote on which one they think is the correct answer. The more people that don't vote for the correct answer, the more points that person receives. I remember one of the words was 'Torsk'. One of the suggested meanings was ' A Russian issued army torch'. The correct answer was a type of fish. It is an awesome game to play.

Well, I would've gotten that one. So would PG. It's norwegian for cod.

One of the suggested meanings was ' A Russian issued army torch'.

Sounds like a fun game, actually.

There used to be a gameshow on TV in the UK like that called Call my Bluff. It ran for a very long time, but I don't think it's still being made. It consisted of two teams of three players. An obscure English word would be shown and each member of one team would have to give a detailed definition of what the word meant. Each of the three members would give completely different means. The other team would then have to guess which meaning was correct and which two were bluffing.

Hehe.. I agree, Teho, the game actually sounds pretty fun. I would for sure have loved playing that. Torsk can be quite tasty if cooked the right way.

We should do it on here. Of course when you come up with a word people aren't allowed to look it up in the dictionary or online. It would be sweet

Gotta love b3ta, in fact I may have to start a new thread to link to some of the funnier posts and pics there.

I also prefer the middle Homeworld 2 cover, but all in all, the 3 of them are not bad.
