Nah, it's called "research". It's only cheating if you google the actual image.

Hmmm no idea, but judging from the (fantasy?) setting it may be one of those text adventures Roberta Williams made before making KQ1.

Ah well. Indeed it is. It is The Wizard and the Princess, the second game in the Hi-Res Adventure series(the first being Mystery House). Checking for games created by Roberta Williams before KQ1 in mobygames gave the answer immediately. I hope this is not cheating.

Spot on.  :cheesy:
Except this PC re-release (the screenshot is from the PC version) has a different title - bonus points if you can tell me that title.  :kiss:

Heh I was too lazy to look up the name again, so I think josiah got this one!

Frodo

Josiah gets the bonus points, and a cookie.  :wink:

But Gilbert recognised it first, and got the original title, so I think the turn goes to him.  :smiley:

I think this is a bit obscure but I used to play it a lot and it's an insanely difficult game!

Dont know what game that is but looks fun depending on what you had to do. I am guessing some sort of Defender?
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

This is not just a shooter.

Is it a Soviet era game?

Gilbert

Considering it's an Apple ][ games in the 80s, yes.

No. I think it's not based on any pre-existing franchise, I think at least.
It's midnight here so I may post another shot tomorrow.
(Wasn't quite active in the past few days but my home system always shut down after a few minutes of activities, probably due to overheating in the hot summer. I've just cleaned the dust in the internal fans(especially the CPU one) and it seems to do the trick.)

Edit:
Here it is.

Chrille got it!
Yeah of course it is Captain Goodnight.
It's a pity this game was kind of obscure, considering how diverse its gameplay was. Maybe being too hard (I never beat it) and not ported to other systems(I think) are part of the reasons few people heard of it.

I have to admit that I've never heard of this one.

Perhaps an AGS remake is in order? ;)
 

Chrille

It had a look at a video and it seems like a cute little game.

Anyway, I couldn't think anything special so here's something fairly new:
