I figure that the "standard 6" questions will help people place it.
Who are the people in the game (IE the player characters, enemies)
What kind of game is it (IE, Action, RPG, Platformer)
When was this you first saw the game (helps date it)
Where where physically were you when you saw it (different countries had different releases)
Why as in the storyline, perhaps this is what you recall
How do you do it (IE gameplay mechanics)
Me; game 1 - NES
My step cousin had this game, but would hardly let me play, and only really let me watch.
Edit - I think the word "Ivory" might have maybe been in the title or story or the name of one of the teams you could play.
Double Edit - I went though wikipedia's list of all NES games, and clicked on about half the links (avoiding things like "Ice Hockey" that are clearly not it, or "Final Fantasy" that I've played and know not to be it) and did not find this game. It may not have been an NES game at all. Also I've edited the date, as my original dates were in error.
Edit again-I've been checking, again, though all the NES games, again. I've eliminated those starting with a #, A, B, C, D, and E, so far. I'll update the letters that I've eliminated below:
Final Edit
MAY be "Mendel Palace", but if so, I've misremembered the game horribly.
Who
Little sprites, kind of a cross between bomberman and a chess pawn
What
not a platformer for sure, or an RPG. Maybe "action"? or maybe fighting?
When
Between 1992 and 1995
Where
Canada, Toronto.
Why
Do not recall
How
Many characters under your control in a room. I think you had to try to beat the other guys.
Me; game 2 - NES
Who
All I recall from this game is a cut scene. You walked in, frame left, and there was a guy (or two I think), moblike, who then killed you, giving you a game-over
What
Pretty sure it was some kind of storybook or storybook like game
When
Between prior to 1991 I think
Where
Canada, Toronto.
Why
You had an objective that was storybook like, I THINK maybe you had to solve a crime???
How
I don't recall any of the gameplay, just the cut scene.
Me; game 3 - SNES
FOUND
I used to love palying this game, and rent it quite frequently.
Who
You had tanks and other non-tank units to move around on a hex grid. The picture really explains it better than words can.
PICTURE TO BE UPLOADED AND EDITED IN SHORTLY.
What
Battle game. Strategy type. Tanks trying to bloe one another up.
When
1996-1999
Where
Canada, East Coast.
Why
You had to beat the bad guys (in red) in order to defend the world!
How
Move your tanks about, occupy cities, etc. I don't think you could ever build new units, and I'm not sure if you could even repair old ones. I know that each yon and your enemy had a flag unit that once destroyed ended the game/round
