Mandle, please could you use actual screenshots, rather than cropped bits of pictures?  :smiley:

Nope, I can't, if a cropped portion of a GUI icon or whatever in the past was acceptable then this is also.

EDIT: Also I have the whole screenshot saved and plan to show it bit by bit, but if someone had played this game enough they might get it by this one cropped screenie. If not I put the next one up tomorrow.

It reminded me of an AGS game made for MAGS not too long ago, but I checked the screenshot and decided it wasn't it. :~(
So...

Growing flowers?
There are those who believe that life here began out there...

Mandle

Nope, sorry but here's another cryptic screenie:

Frodo

The Tiny Black Square?

Mandle


VampireWombat

E.T.: Phone Home Adventure?

Atavismus

Something like an editor?
A Mario editor?
It rings a bell, but it's very distant and I can't hear it clearly...

Mandle

No so far...

I think someone might be able to get it not so much by looking at the two pictures individually but instead thinking what they imply about each other when considered together. I'll put another up soon.

I know the pictures are small but all are zoomable.

Ah, Dig Dug.

I knew I recognized that flower from somewhere and I was leaning towards the surface from Dig Dug, but I really couldn't remember those path tiles.

I really thought someone would put together the gap in the ground of the first picture and the tunnel down in the second picture as having the same width and figure it out...

Congratz though on figuring out probably one of the most violent early arcade games... I mean, was anyone else blown away by literally pumping the enemies up until they friggin' explode?!

Over to you!

VampireWombat

Wow, I would never have guessed Dig Dug. Not only because I haven't played it in at least 25 years, but I think I only played either the Atari 2600 or Intellivision version, neither of which seem to have the flower.

It seems there is a fine balance between making an iconic game impossible to recognize or just way too easy...

Maybe I will just stick to full screen shots from now on to avoid annoying people too much.

Chrille

Personally I think these puzzle rounds are rather fun :-D

Here's another one.

Hint: Similiar theme to the last.

Think your clue gave this one away for me. It looks like Joust.
Pro is the opposite of Con                       Kids of today are so much different
This fact can clearly be seen,                  Don't you know?
If progress means to move forward         Just ask them where they are from
Then what does congress mean?             And they tell you where you can go.  --Nipsey Russell
