Gah, I remember this throat-slitting simulator existing, but I can't remember its name. Is it Green Beret? It's something generic like that, I think.

Quote from: CaptainDHmm... was this game released by Microprose?
Nope.

A sentence "fire is a deadly force of nature" contains all the words of game's title. (laugh)

Is it P.O.W.?

Edit: I missed the clue...

So...Deadly Fire Force?

CaptainD

Green Beret was released in the early 80s I think - I remember it coming out on the Speccy when I was knee-high! (laugh)

Deadly Force?
Deadly Nature? 8-0
Fire Is A? (roll)

kconan is very close :)

I spent many weeks on that game. Was great fun. Castle of the Winds!
The author released the game for free later, so while it may be a bit of a problem getting it to run on modern computers, I'd still recommend you try it out:

Since there's not really much probability that I'm wrong, here is my screenshot. A bit easy, but I'm in a hurry:

Federation of Free Traders?
 

Gribbler

Or maybe Space Quest?

Babar

None of those. But...I guess you caught on that it involved space?

It does?!?!?!??!?!

Er... Purple Saturn Days?

(Or are you saying that "Space" is part of the title? 8-))
 

Babar

Space is not part of the title. I suppose in the form of a hint, I could say that the title DOES involve a...spacey thing?
I wasn't expecting this one to be so hard.

And no. Not Purple Saturn Day (was surprised that such a game name actually existed :D)

Purple Saturn Days was actually quite a fun game - although it was more of a cool concept than anything. 8-)

No idea about this game though I'm afraid.

Protostar Frontiers or something like that

It seems you're right, festilligamble. It supposed to be easy guess but I never even heard of that game :)

Me neither!  :shocked::grin: :shocked:
 

Babar

I could be anal and ask you to be more exact (Protostar: War on the Frontier), but yeah, you're right, festilligamble!

It wasn't a super-amazing game or anything, but I'm surprised the resident experts didn't know about it :D. Was an okay enough first person space exploration trading/fighting (and a small bit of adventure RPG) type sim in the vein of the Star Control series.
