Name this game! This game is an old Friends server game, but it's available elsewhere as well. If you're a true Kogamian, you've played it at least once. By old, I mean pre-2013. The project involved multiple players of renown. Each day that goes by without a correct response, I'll post a new screenshot revealing more of the game. Naturally, the first one won't be easy. Have fun!

Oh dear, you've got me stumped on this one! Yeesh, hard to say if I built or played more back then really.  The places that the screenshots are in look out of the ordinary, almost as if they were taken in some secret areas of the map, (whichever map this could possibly be). The "available elsewhere" part really stumps me too -- A lot of the US games that were brought to the BR server were crafted back in 2013 (such as those by BerickCook and De Lírios). But then there were also some games crafted back around spring 2012 which were ported over to the EU server, such as Avak's Battle Creek map and Exelaratore's 2012 Easter Egg Hunt map. Then I think there was also Cubik's Epic Parkour City! which was also ported over. I almost want to guess that it's Home World since I know that was also on the US server, and some areas such as the underground look kinda similar to these screenshots, but I couldn't find anything that exactly matches this. I think I'll place my first guess for EBC Parkour City! because even though I still can't find the areas that may match those screenshots, it gives me the impression that this game has some sort of "city theme" to it for some reason. |

Hmmm... Interesting... We shall see...
I'll verify one thing: the reason I deemed the first screenshots "challenging" is that they are, indeed, glimpses of a section of a world the common player wasn't meant to see. =)

The top left screenshot is most definitely from EBC Parkour City! I just made it by that area yesterday

Hahaha, all right, you win! Here are some more shots. I'd upload a few more, but Imgur isn't working for me today.

I especially had some fantastic memories playing that one back in early July 2012 -- One of my first great memories on KoGaMa was waking up on a hot summer morning around 8am, logging in and playing on that map, which I used the Impulse Gun to try to scale the huge tree. Then I remember going downstairs into my kitchen, having some cereal and watching the sun continue to rise. One of my most memorable mornings of all time actually, besides from April Fools Day earlier this year.  |

Yep... My first few weeks on Kogama -- heck, maybe first few months -- I spent a lot of time playing that game. Epic Parkour City, Blocklanders (by FaceDavid), and Kogama Hub (by ElectroRobotic) were the games I visited most. It's a crying shame ElectroRobotic felt the need to log in one day and box off the spawnpoint to his game. There was also Empire (by Arrocke).
Games were built and played differently in the earlier days. I, and others, could spend hours each week exploring Epic Parkour City for the sheer joy of it; it was all right that the gunshop was boobie-trapped and inaccessible at the time. We didn't need to get into gunfights to have fun. I'd look in the windows of Exel's house, ponder that big empty EBC stadium thing on the edge of town, attempt to figure out that cheap combo-lock in that creepy cave place, to no avail. Then I'd run around trying to find that weird underground tunnel system I stumbled upon once, to no avail. (It'd take me another year or two to realize I unknowingly stumbled upon the path to the admin room as a noob.) And even after all this time, there's still a lot of mystery around the place for me -- some of those things I see in and around the admin room make no sense to me (like that pressure plate with the poison pellets above it, as seen in the bottom right corner of the first collage).
It's hilarious, sometimes, to look behind the scenes underground, to discover how obvious certain things were. The admin room has an obvious exit in the hospital, which I failed to notice until I actually used it. Exel's house, too, has a ridiculously simple exit to it that somehow eluded me all the while I ran around trying to find a way inside. Seriously, the lack of model enablers and teleporters made builders crafty.
