Current Events > Name of a Game

(+) Yeah! (+)

My Wife just called me from the living room where she is among the Trillions of curling fans enjoying the first day of the Women's World curling championship. She told me that my cable box on the other screen was asking whether I was still enjoying the Blue Jay"s and Yankee"s Spring Training game. As it turned out, the game was a hum-dinger, but over.

I felt foolish having to comply with an answer, but it reminded me of a game a gaming friend had showed me where the character onscreen would stand there while juggling a ball, break out a skipping rope among other things and eventually tap on the other side of the screen, and ask if the player was still there or needed help.

Not sure of the console, but it was early- mid 90", also not sure whether it is the only one that did something like it. Anyone know the name of the game?

Try here and see if you can find the game you are looking for:

***EDIT***

I have just gone through that list myself and Conker's Bad Fur Day looks like the closest one for what you are asking about.

It's not Conker, but I ask a simple question and get really schooled, thanks much appreciated.

Going through the fantastic list, Discworld seems to fit the bill for actually tapping on the screen, and being the type of game my friend liked.

I will check out the rest of the list to see if I change my mind. Thanks again.

r/tipofmyjoystick is always usually pretty good for these

The Pac Man games have various idle animations which include juggling & screen tapping.
