Joel Schultz Posted September 28, 2001 Report Posted September 28, 2001 Sung to the tune of "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window?"What gen-re is that game in the win-dow? The one with the pret-ty blue box? What gen-re is that game in the win-dow? What-ev-er it is, it sure rocks!(Where's a bouncing ball when you need one? )[ 09-28-2001: Message edited by: Joel Schultz ]
Guest Macon De'Witt Posted September 28, 2001 Report Posted September 28, 2001 *** SPECIAL OFFER *** If you guys convince the SC to pick one of my sugestions I will send you all and autographed digital photo of me playing the autographed copy of the game!btw WISHBAG is a double acronym forWith Industry Software Hype Being All Garbage Why It Should Habitually Be About Gaming
Menchise Posted September 29, 2001 Report Posted September 29, 2001 MultiView Combat and Trade Simulation
Menchise Posted September 30, 2001 Report Posted September 30, 2001 MultiView Combat and Trade Strategy SimulationMultiView Real Time Combat and Trade Strategy Simulation
Menchise Posted September 30, 2001 Report Posted September 30, 2001 Thinking overtime now. Looking at the different elements... --------------------------------------- Perspective = MultiView (First Person and 3D) Time = Real Time Environment Base = MultiBased (Land, Naval, Air, Space) It has strategic combat and trade --------------------------------------- Hmm...MultiView Real Time MultiBased Strategic Combat and Trade Simulation (MVRTMBSCTS)More to come (probably).
Real_Lucas Posted September 30, 2001 Report Posted September 30, 2001 is there an actual deadline for the SC to pick a winner? just wondering. Dynamic Environment Combat Simulator (DECS)okay my brain is fully wracked. I can't think of any more....and I have always considered myself good at things like this....I hope I win, I've never won anything before.

Real_Lucas Posted September 30, 2001 Report Posted September 30, 2001 *sigh*I was just wondering. I am the most patient man in the world....at least my own world.
Supreme Cmdr Posted September 30, 2001 Report Posted September 30, 2001 LOL!! Man, this is just as bad as that Gone Gold thread.So far, my top pick is STILL, Multi Environment Combat Simulator, MECSI smell an autographed boxed copy and wall poster map in Luc's future....unless of course someone tops that one.I'll pick a winner on 10/15oh, and Joel gets a free autographed copy for keeping track of these nonsensical listings.

SpotSD Posted September 30, 2001 Report Posted September 30, 2001 Quad Environment Immersive Galaxy SimulatorQEIGSWhen I say quad (four) I'm referring to land, water, air, and space.
Real_Lucas Posted October 1, 2001 Report Posted October 1, 2001 LOLokay and now some Red Dwarf; Simulation, Multi Environment Game (SMEG)
Pedro Pablo Laracuente Posted October 1, 2001 Report Posted October 1, 2001 Futuristic Advanced Stratagic multi environment epic simulation.
Urza Posted October 1, 2001 Report Posted October 1, 2001 Hmmm, I'm going to have to go with:Complete Seamless Galactic Warfare Simulator, CSGWS.
Pedro Pablo Laracuente Posted October 1, 2001 Report Posted October 1, 2001 Total Inmersion Epic War Simulation (TIEWS)
Menchise Posted October 1, 2001 Report Posted October 1, 2001 quote: The game thats about to make you it's ***** genre! LOL! Anyway, here are my final answers (I think).MultiBased Strategic Combat Simulation (MBSCS) Strategic Multi-Combat Simulation (SMCS) Multi-Combat Strategy Simulation (MCSS) Multi-Combat Simulation (MCS)[ 10-01-2001: Message edited by: Menchise ]
Põdi Posted October 1, 2001 Report Posted October 1, 2001 OK, have to go with '42'because it is the answer.
Scotty Posted October 1, 2001 Report Posted October 1, 2001 THIS is the Game Your Mother Warned You About!Luc & SC ÔÇô I like MECS too, but I think it is too narrow. ... an example or two: - MECTES ÔÇô Multi Environment Combat, Trading and Exploration SimulationMEMS ÔÇô Multi Environment Military SimulationI think that MEMS sums it up a little better, as there is more to the military than just shooting everything in sight, just like the game.- I am not trying to steal LucÔÇÖs original idea, so MECTES and MEMS should go to him, not me. I will take the assist though. Scotty
Joel Schultz Posted October 1, 2001 Report Posted October 1, 2001 quote:oh, and Joel gets a free autographed copy for keeping track of these nonsensical listings. Jaw drops to the floor and rolls somewhere... SC, are you just jerking my chain?Either way, I don't mind, I'm having fun as it is... Wow, with all these suggestions, I might do a mid-week update just to consolidate things.Gets up to find jaw...chases frantically after mother's little dog
Pedro Pablo Laracuente Posted October 1, 2001 Report Posted October 1, 2001 Here is my list:a)The next Generation War Simulation b)Futuristic advanced strategic multi environment epic war simulation C)Total inmersion epic war simulation
SpotSD Posted October 2, 2001 Report Posted October 2, 2001 Compleatly, Immersive, Action. CIASimulation, Compleat, Unparelled, Dynamic. SCUDImmersive Realtime Simulation IRS *shudder* Simulated, Immersive, Multi enviroment. SIM

I will take the assist though. ScottyLOL I like MEMS too, but I think MECTES, although precise, is too long. I was thinking from the start of this thread that the whole point should be from a reviewers perspective. Genre is always something that reviewers use by trying to "niche" everything. BCM is a niche title and it should be easy to say as an achronym for the genre, so I like MECS, and MEMS. The genre should be general and a little vague so that it encompasses following titles....I love setting a precedent. The bottom line is that game types like FPS includes games like System Shock 2 and Deus Ex, but they are not simply First Person Shooters, but adventure games as well. However, Quake, Doom, Unreal Tournement, etc are all precisely FPS games.I think I'll get off the soap box now. [ 10-02-2001: Message edited by: Luc ]
Menchise Posted October 2, 2001 Report Posted October 2, 2001 This thread has inspired me to develop my own Genre Definition methods, including how to compact long names, if I ever get my game review site online, that is.
