Name that corrupt corporation. It can be from movies, games, books, whatever. No real rules, except for saying what medium(s) it appears in.


Example:

UAC (Game)

Answer: Doom


I'll start.

PTMC (Game)

2005-07-05, 10:14 AM #9

Microsoft, obviously. :p

Seriously, Acme Toothpick? Nothing comes to mind... and worst of all, Google didn't find anything!

No, none of those guesses are correct. It is a game, but you have to think back to your 286/386 days of gaming. It's nothing to do with loony toons or duke. Oh, and the company is only mentioned in the opening cutscene.

Earthworm Jim?

If not I say that one is too hard :p

Boiler Room, but I think I'll wait to see if you even got YOURS right to post one.

If he's wrong, then I'm going with Commander Keen? Or that Crystal Caves game.

No, no and no.

ok another clue - it's an arcade style game.
2005-07-06, 4:49 PM #18
Wow, I think I killed the thread with a corporation that was too hard to find.

Tha game was GALACTIX. An arcade overhead space shooter. In the cutscene, you're watching the news and the newsreader says '...And in other news, the last tree in the amazom rainforest was cut down. A spokesman from the ACME TOOTHPICK COMPANY says "Gee, that's too bad" '. And then your TV gets taken over by the Xidus, saying how their gonna take over earth, and thats where you blast off in your ship and start shooting stuff.

here's a screenie.

And here's that Xidus dude who wants to kill everything...

I dont know if we are still guessing now, so I'll post another one, pretty easy:

Biocite (movie)
"Guns don't kill people, I kill people."
2005-07-06, 6:35 PM #20
Haha, Galactix, I remember that!

Biocite is from Mission Impossible 2.

Here's an easy one: Weyland-Yutani. It's in both the movies and games of this franchise.

Our hidden goals are nothing short of complete global domination. While yes, other huge corporations, even entire governments may subversively engage in similar aspirations and tactics– We, at Czerka, are entirely open and honest about our motives.

I guess it qualifies as a corrupt corporation...
