Title: Name the Game
Post by: frenzykitty on Wed 17/04/2013 17:17:08
Just came up with this idea last night! Similar to the movie thread, but this time with adventure game screenshots :)

I'll start:

Operation Stealth by Delphine Software.

I'm so bad at guessing the movie titles. Here I can finally compete :tongue:

I think you have to post a screenshot of your own for others to guess, now.

HINT TIME: It's based on a HORROR NOVEL by a very well known horror author. :) There was also a movie adaptation. :)
Title: Re: Name the Game

The interface seems familiar... Horror author you say? I bet it's some Stephen King's novel.

The other "The Birds" movie... :tongue:

Spoiler
Ahh, George...Stark?
Then it's probably 'The Dark Half'.

Admittedly, I would've never guessed it without your hint.
Never played the game, only read the novel during my Stephen King craze, a long,
looong time ago.

It's Fish!. A wacky graphically enhanced text adventure about a goldfish secret agent on vacation(!),
involuntarily forced to foil the plan of a group called the "Seven Deadly Fins" who're trying to take over the (water-)world.

This game already featured the 'combining notes' function. Only it's execution in-game was so particular and at the same time so random (you had to guess which
words were important and which ones weren't) that it drove you nuts! Still, a great game...

In what way can it be related to Cruise for a corpse? Only that the setting is steamboat? Or does it go deeper?
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Tramponline on Sun 21/04/2013 00:37:26
They share the same genre. The only difference being that Cruise for a Corpse takes place on the open ocean, while for this game rather 'the opposite' is true.
If you know 'where' you've almost got the name of the game.

Sorry, couldn't help it. :tongue: I was so much into the whole police procedural stuff back then.
(I'm so looking forward to General_Knox's project by the way. Check out his threads, if you haven't done so already!)

The next one is a bit tricky: I hope you guys will forgive me, but I had to 'alter' it slightly.
Where it says 'Player' is has the protagonist's name in the original screen-shot. (That would've been
a dead giveaway.)

First Lost Files had a very specific graphics type. I would recognize it by the fraction of the screen :smiley:

My next is super easy but I just can't resist myself, I love this game. Some time ago I managed to snatch on ebay, new and still in shrinkwrap!

There are black bars above and below the picture to fill up the screen, but that's all. I believe the inventory is visible below the picture, when opened.
The guy in the screenshot is not the player character.

Not Chronomaster. This one also has a visible player character, but I think he just went up the stairs.

Man, Simon the Sorcerer 1 is one of THE BEST non LucasArts and non Sierra adventure games ever! You must try it.

Sadly, this game is not Simon1. Another hint: there are no dialogues in an entire game, and the interface is icon based.

There were few gems like Riven, Zork Nemesis and Zork Grand Inquisitor. But then there were also Cryo games with their stiff, plastic characters >.<.

the German author Karl May...?


edit: OK, I'm really quite certain it's that game. To keep this game rolling I'll post the next screenshot. Hope nihilyst won't mind...

Title: Re: Name the Game

I also wanted to make a point. Where's the fun in posting super old games published just only in one country? I mean, that "German game, based on German novel and published only in Germany" :-\ It only grinds the thread to a halt.

Or that Russian plasticine game.

There are many great well-known games to guess. If you want to make it harder cut out interface, or character, or post non-gameplay screenshot. I mean, take that "Death Gate" post for example. It was clever, and I had my slap facepalm "Of course!!!" moment when I saw the answer. And I was hoping to get many of those here. I wish somebody posted a King's Quest V screenshot I could not guess, or some other widely known game. You get the idea. :smiley:

I used to haunt a local department store's computer section, just to be able to play that game (before knowing anything about computers or owning one).
I remember, I got chased away by the store clerks on a regular base, only to sneak back in after an hour or so!
Never knew what it was called though...

Universe is a very unique looking game. There were non other i can remember that had this 'grainy' effect except Curse of Enchantia by the same developer.

I am. Literally right now!

Nope, not Longbow.

My deception worked well :smiley: I didn't play this game but judging from other screenshots this particular one doesn't say what the game is about at all. :smiley:

HINT: It's based on the book, or is set in the universe of the book at least.

When it comes to game guessing, if anything comes to mind right away it's usually correct answer. As soon as I saw that sprite I knew it's Hetchel's egg. Try this obscene example now :)

I'm certain this is Ishar. There were no cities like that in Ishar 1, so that leaves 2 or 3. I vote part three.

Okay, maybe not that wrong, it is Ishar, but not 3. Or 1. It's 2, Ishar 2. But simply Ishar is good enough for me, it's your turn again, Gribbler! :)

Jaffles is correct.

I found a link to the trailer that lured me in.

http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/i13zt1/maabus

Watching the trailer makes me wonder why it appealed to me so much back in the day. Gribbler's adjective seems to sum up both the game and the trailer.

Maybe you read the Entertainment Weekly review.  That is one train wreck of a GUI and it looks like a kid drew the horned, orange stick figure.

Beyond Shadowgate is a PC-E... errr... TG16 game and it's nothing like this (it in fact looks like those Sierra/Lucasfilm Games adventure games).
It's more likely Shadowgate 64 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadowgate_64:_Trials_of_the_Four_Towers).
But anyway, take the turn.

I've never actually played this but I've seen the screen shot before when I googled the old toonstruck looking for some music from that game. According to the Wikipedia entry for toonstruck there was additional material made but not included in the first game, and it has been or will be released in a second game.

Yep, this is the link - both screens cut from the game in question. That cut Toonstruck stuff was originally all going to be in the first game, right? Then they cut it due to time/budget issues with the intention of making a second game out of it but never did :(

Nope, but I'm aware of it as being one of the early adventure games.  Around the time it came out, or maybe a little after, I was plugging away on an Atari 8-bit (800xl and later 130xe).

Could be tough...So for a slight hint, this one came out in the early 90s.

In the beginning of the game your character is attacked by an alien mugger, and the police reward you for capturing him (or it).

Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: abstauber on Thu 18/07/2013 13:54:36
I bet at the time this game was release you've dumped the Amiga long ago ;)
You also needed an AGA chipset for this one (A1200, CD32 etc).
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Gribbler on Thu 18/07/2013 14:41:20
Well, I was pretty hardcore Amiga fan. I had A1200 with a hard disk. I remember that Hare Raising Havoc worked only on AGA chipset. I dumped Amiga when 3D games started being popular and those were scarce on it. I sold my Amiga around the time when Alien Breed 3D came out which was awful in comparison to PC's Doom for example.

Getting back to game guessing... I still don't have a clue. :)
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: abstauber on Thu 18/07/2013 15:05:51
Hey, that's an impressively long time span! I ditched the Amiga around '92, after my A2000 died of the leaking battery.
It didn't have an HDD anyway, so playing Indy 4 and MI2 would have been a disk swapping nightmare.

Then I bought a used A1200 in 2000 because there still wasn't a great pixel painter on the PC (hooray for DPaint V).
The game I'm looking for was only two years old by the time I bought the A1200 (hint#2). And yes, it's a commercial title and I was pretty stunned, that the "old" machine had an adventure, you couldn't have on the PC :)
And hint#3 - it's a german/italien co-production, I even found a review from Amiga Magazyn on the interwebs :)

On the contrary, for some. Back in those days I had a friend who always wanted to come by and watch me playing Indy 4... and swap those 11 disks what he thoroughly enjoyed  (laugh) I assume it had to be some "Look mom! I'm computer scientist!" thing.  :P I was a good friend and let him have fun. :)

And about your game... I must admit part of the gui does look familiar. I mean that disk symbols on the right. I guess I must have seen  screensots in a magazine or something but I will never be able to guess it. It will be one of "Oh, THAT." when I see game's title.

Could this be a Windows 3.x game?
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Scavenger on Fri 19/07/2013 08:21:20
It is indeed a Windows 3.x game. It's very crudely drawn and independant, and it's art really resonates with me.

And here's another clue - my favorite track from the game: Midi! (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/50882197/MUSDAT04.MID)

Post by: abstauber on Fri 19/07/2013 08:39:06
Coooould this be by the same guys who did ZZT? I think I even had this on a shareware disk :)

That midi sounds terrific btw. - a lot better than what I was used to hear from Epic Megagames.

oh well, I try to solve it:

I naively thought it was somewhat apparent that I'm just a game nerd, with huge interest in 90s abandonware and adventure games in particular, and a MobyGames addict. ^_^ I haven't even played Ooze yet, but it looked interesting and that particular screenshot amused me a lot when I stumbled upon it, so it was definitely memorable for me. So I can't comment on Ooze's commercial success outside of Germany, but that's the story behind my guess.
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Babar on Tue 23/07/2013 10:53:38
Not part of a minigame, abstauber, just that when you move the mouse over important bits of the screen, that would show up. Currently it is pointing to an area that had an object I just picked up.


Oh, and I cannot find this game on MobyGames :D.
Here's another screen to help you out, with a little more of the GUI showing:

Title: Re: Name the Game

I'm guessing it's a game somewhere from 1996 to 2000.

I guess I did find one that was more difficult :D.
A more revealing screenshot, but I've taken the liberty of still hiding two things.
(http://i.imgur.com/kLXyxxl.png)

In exchange I can tell you it was an edutainment game, and I'm not finding much presence for it online aside from a couple of lets plays and pages on abandonware sites. Nemo already has a vague direction of the date of release from what I corrected of his guess earlier.
I can't make it any easier other than almost literally giving away the name of the game (which you'd be able to totally guess from what I've hidden :D).

I was tempted to google "skatehendge" but I wanted to go a more "dignified" route that involved more effort. BECAUSE THIS IS CLEARLY SERIOUS BUSINESS

I don't want my nerdy antics be taken the wrong way though, I think your win is fair game.

Nah, that game had a top-down isometric view on the Speccy (not sure about other systems).  :P

Right, new screenie... I don't think this one's been done before (and sorry, I'm not about to check back 47 pages worth to make sure!)...

I remember this one from the Atari ST.

As much as I want it to be "F15-Strike Eagle III - The Movie - The Game"... kconan and surplusguy are both partially right - it's A320 by Loriciels.
My cousin had this on his Atari (520?), but I doubt it survived long in his disk box.

Anyway: kconan was first - but nice try, Surplusguy :D
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: kconan on Wed 31/07/2013 08:30:05
The only reason I guessed "A320 Airbus" was because it was one of the few flight sims from back in the day that I'm not aware of, and due its lame sounding "promotional tie-in" name.

Between levels there was a bonus stage where you had to run over bad guys with a car. There were also ordinary people which you had to avoid but the car was running so fast that you eneded up hitting elderly people, mothers with babies etc. It was one sick game but I remember we had a blast playing it.

Yea, I might have jumped the gun as he didn't actually verify in his response.  But I'm 90-some percent sure its Franko.

And Gilbot is correct on Chiller.  So its either his turn, or my fault for not waiting for official Gribbler verification and the turn is still on that crazy side-scroller.

Is this adventure game or PRG?

Dink Smallwood maybe?
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: CaptainD on Mon 02/09/2013 08:47:34
Dink was an isometric view (weird game! :shocked:) but I don't think that's it... Divinity maybe?  (Though that might have been released quite a bit later, not sure.)
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: qptain Nemo on Mon 02/09/2013 15:28:47
An RPG, apparently. But the gameplay and everything in it is so utterly weird, I didn't remember that and had to go check a description. And no to both guesses.

Here's some screenies. (http://imgur.com/a/owjlm) I tried to go as revealing as possible. As for hints... uuuuuhhhhhhhh... I have no idea what I could say. None of my attempts to grasp the game so far have been fruitful enough for me to be able to produce a hint, sorry. ;-D

So, if this doesn't get guessed in the next day, or even half a day I'll reveal and replace it.

Well, yes. Sorry about that. You're a huge gaming enthusiast which means you're clearly right about many things (and most important ones too!). It's just Gray Matter is very special to my heart and I wanted to jokingly address just how disagreeable I find your judgment.

It plays with the keyboard and has a retro feel, though it was released in 2007.

More infamy: back in the day Atari ST was such unpopular machine in my country that any game not on PC was considered Amiga exclusive, and vice versa. :-D

(Or are you saying that "Space" is part of the title? 8-))
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Babar on Wed 13/11/2013 15:18:31
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)
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: CaptainD on Wed 13/11/2013 16:21:30
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.

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.

If not Boulderdash itself, the only similar game I remember from around that time was called Rockman (on the C16, dunno if it was released on the Tandy).

The only 2-player Boulderdash game I remember was Skullduggery - but I think that was significantly later (had it on the Atari ST, but I guess it might have been released on the 8-bits previous to that?).

He looks like a really random out of place inverted Santa Claus to me. Also I like how much the runners are stretched across the track, like if they're crawling in a very weird half-lying pose, dragging half their butt on the ground. It took me until now to realize this is supposed to be them kneeling at the start of the race. If I still got that wrong, laugh all you want.

The title of this game contains a colon. Two sub-titles exist, one on each format. I will take either as a correct answer.

Hellboy: Asylum Seeker's a PS1 game from 2004 that's a port of a 2000 PC game... so is that it?

Plus the game's crap, so there's that.

EDIT: Plus the publisher Cryo Interactive's from France, hence merde.

Also, the PC version is called Hellboy: Dogs of the Night, if you were talking about that one.

Gee, I'd really hate to be wrong after putting all these clues together.

Alright. So... it's an RPG. It's quite unexpectedly humourous and interesting. I say unexpectedly because the theme of the game is something countless other games have played with a straight face and done it to death. A part of the name of the theme is also a part of the name of the game.

Don't get too hung up on the whole ALF thing. It's the inside of a cinema with ALF up on screen, he's just an 'easter egg' (...you blow up that same cinema later on in the game!)
ALF is really just a good indicator around what time this game came out.

GTA 1

(PS: for the record, my little game's soluton was : Quest for Glory IV. The guy is in some sort of organic maze, and doors are actually giant sphincters that he "forces open". It sounds really weird in serious Sierra games like that).

I'm just a devoted gamer with a little bit of deductive skills. If I don't know the game instantly the process looks something like this (Inindo example): Top-down view, looks like RPG, Asian theme, looks like early 90s, probably '92 or '93, most likely Asian word in the title, and hey, what have we here? Way of the ninja? Must be it. Bingo!

I hope you don't consider this way of guessing a cheating. Because if you do, my pal SkyNet will... eeer... I mean... Danger danger. Compromise. Compromise. Restarting. Three, two, one, initializing...

Alright, apparently nobody played this but me. Here's some hints, first one to Google the answer can take the next turn:
Spoiler
It's a DOS game from 1992.
[close]
Spoiler
The goal of the game is shown in one of the screenshots I posted.
[close]
Spoiler
The game had a parser interface and no mouse support.
[close]
Spoiler
It was made in a 'game-making' program (way before AGS existed).
[close]
Spoiler
Although it was a complete game in itself, it was released as shareware as a kind of demo for a planned sequel.
[close]
Spoiler
I don't think the sequel was ever made.
[close]
Spoiler
I played it as a kid in the mid 90s, but it's probably pretty obscure. There's at least one Youtube longplay though.

I'd say it's far from it. I mean it has its flaws, obviously. But it's also absolutely hilarious both intentionally and unintentionally most of the time. And the curiousity factor is also high due to its unique and bizarre nature. So, I'm afraid, I must admit I've rather enjoyed every minute of that game I've played and I still intend to finish it someday.

Yeah, virtually all the backgrounds are stolen from all over the place. All the characters seem to be original though. Also as far as I know the designers of the game claimed that they had no idea this was the case, because whoever agreed to make graphics for them did this without their knowledge.

Although, this is a nice & challenging screen-shot, Cubefiend, we usually have to guess a game in order to post a game - and so on and so forth.

Bedsides, we're the Net generation and have a really low attention span. Multi-threading and having a guessing game exceeding more than one game at a time would instantly fry our brains.

But primarly: Armageddon rarely remembers that he won his turn in this thread :P AND Grim is rarely THAT confident guessing a game! 8-) We simply can't pass on this opportunity! :=


On topic: I'm damn sure, I've never played that one. I'd even go as far as suspecting Armageddon of having drawn that scene, just to put us off the scent... :cool:

I attached a floppy disk with the letter, and even got a reply from Adrian Chmielarz!

Therefore, shame on me, for not recognizing Teenagent... It was a really shitty game, though;)

Sure. Once upon a time I attended certian Internet forum. There I met an interesting guy in a top hat and a monocle. I saw him being nice and funny. People seem to like him. But then something strange happened. He was the forum veteran so I totally didn't expect this. I thought he's just a fun guy from the Internet. And then all of a sudden, he showed me this weird screenshot of a game where a creepy guy takes a dump.... I do not know if I ever recover now.

True story. I shit you not.

I just also googled "weird video game about taking a shit". And Presswurst was on the first page. :)

It is a Resident Evil game. But it's definitely not Dark Side Chronicles. Since you're calling this one your 'second' guess:

I'll take it as a guess (even though you didn't explicitly mention :P). It is indeed Resident Evil 4, also known as Biohazard 4. :)

I think of Comanche or Delta Force when someone mentions voxels. Outcast was a brilliant game with a beautiful cinematic score. Sadly, the gameplay feels a little bit outdated now...

Go ahead with the next game, Ben.

Correct, it's Famicom Tantei Club Part II: Ushiro ni Tatsu ShŠjo a.k.a. Famicom Detective Club Part II: The Girl who Stands Behind
[imgzoom]http://www.onedollarproductions.co.uk/uploads/guessedthegameb.png[/imgzoom]

It's more of a visual novel than a standard puzzle solving adventure game, but I remember the story being really good.

I'm not suggesting you go downloading ROMs and emulators, but if you were to find yourself with a ROM of the game and you happened to download the fan translation patch (http://www.romhacking.net/translations/850/), place it in the same directory as the ROM and give it the same name, you might find yourself playing a fun detective game with a great story and a think verb. Or you could learn Japanese and buy the original cartridge, I guess.

Anyway, Gribbler, your turn.

I do not know the title, I even don't know if it had a title but I had this game when I was a kid! It was this little Russian handheld machine with only one game. I also had the one with the diver and an octopus.

I looked like this and we called it "WesoŠ‚y kucharz" which can be roughly translated as "Happy chef"

Neither Sierra nor on the Tandy. The game company is rather well known for their adventures though, and you're probably familiar with other works of the designer.

Well, I did not image search it. :) Cassiebsg didn't exactly specify if image search was used, I only assumed it. I might be wrong of course. If the answer is a result of various questions to good old Uncle google then such answer is perfectly fine in my book.

No Gribbler's right, I used image search... somehow it's a very useful tool and I like it. :p
To my defense, I did not find any of GarageGothic's pics on the search though, another showed up that I thought "that looks like it would fit"... But not my fault the artist did a lousy job on the second pic, since it got me curious as it had nothing to do with the first one (in my eyes anyway)... :D

Oh yeah, and I did say I cheated, right? :) And I took the time to hide it even... :p

The interesting thing about Michael Crichton's Amazon is that it started out as Congo - The Game but was transplanted to South America because someone else had already bought the adaptation rights. There's a pretty good explanation of the game's development on the site Cassiebsg linked to: http://www.filfre.net/2013/10/from-congo-to-amazon/ - in case anyone is wondering what happened to the amazing artist behind the screenshots, he is now a cinematic artist at Blizzard and worked on Diablo III and Starcraft II.

Heh... I was 5, but I had a C16 in the early years (can't really could the dear old ZX81!) so I guess it wasn't until the late 80s that I had a Speccy (+2).

Anyway, Charlie Sheen Janosbro to post a new one!

No, the original Wikileaks game is this: Leaky World (http://www.molleindustria.org/leakyworld/leakyworld.html).

But this game is also a political game, as you can see. And it is very serious. Despite the graphics, it is not that old. There was some comments about this game in this forum.

Well, its a government simulation game released around the ending of the 80's. It's all black and white and menu-driven, but it features one of the first "digital video" graphics. It was used in schools, and the developer distributed for free before it was actually available for download. It's an inspiration for the Games for Change movement, along with Chris Crawford's Balance of Power.

I played SH2 many many times. In my opinion it's the best Silent Hill game ever created. And Pyramid Head was one of the best and original monsters I've seen in a game. Funny how Shinji Mikami is trying the same thing with his Evil Within now but instead of the pyramid monster has a giant safe on his head. :)

Nope and nope.

The game does feature an Arctic base, though. More obscure than The Thing, and substantially more obscure than Assassins Creed, the game is known by two English-language titles (US and EU). I prefer the EU title, myself.

It also features some terrible vehicle sections, as evidenced here:

Time for some hints! This is a PC-only action game, from an Eastern European developer. I have a feeling that the following image will give the game away to those who may have vague recollections of playing it, as it highlights the game's most useful play view:

Okay. The game was released in 2005.

The game is the third in a series, though all ties to the other two games were removed from the English-language version. Which is weird, as the as the first game was released in both the US and EU, and the second game was also available in English (in the EU).

Title: Re: Name the Game

Correct. I suspect some detective work (or a sneaky-googly-imagey!) was required to come up with the answer. I also would have accepted "Aurora Watching", "Gorky 17: Aurora Watching", or "Soldier Elite: Zero Hour" as correct answers.

It's the final game in the "Gorky 17" series ("Gorky 17"/"Odium" being the first, followed by "Gorky 17: Beyond Honor") by Metropolis Software, who are now part of CD Projekt RED, the developers of "The Witcher" games. I played it back when in was first released (as "Aurora Watching"), and, despite some wonky AI and awkward controls, I found it to be a decent stealth game.

For some strange reasons, it's incredibly hard to find the original Amiga version of the 3D Galax theme :~(

Adeel is closest so far. 

It has a different word for Helicopter in the title, and then a letter.

Oh, this one is quite famous. The demo is interactive, you access several demo rooms by manoeuvreing a winged lion (wtf)
The song of this particular demo room was also often used in cracktros.

It is neither of those. I did not expect this game to be so hard to guess. It is a real hassle getting screenshots (long, interactive, unskippable intro, and I keep forgetting to save past it), and that music (at least at the start gets simultaneously repetitive and ingrained in your brain REALLY fast.
But if nobody can guess it in a bit, I guess I'll post another screenshot.

If you have one arena and two fighters (like in Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat or Soulcalibur) it's a fighting game. If you go one way and fight baddies attacking you all the time it's a beat-em-up.

You don't have to know or hear about the game to guess it. That's what the clues are for. I also found the game but since you were first, go ahead. :)

Slots don't open up, Mandle, you have to guess someone else's game to get a turn. That looks like a photo of the Blackwell Island Lighthouse rather than a screen-grab anyway.

I have no idea what Iceboty's is unless it's Zero Wing.

It's Spell-a-Saurus! Congratulations, Gribbler!

Babar, two loosely connected titles, Spell-a-Saurus being the 'sequel'. You should check it out if you can find it anywhere. It's even rarer than Eco-Saurus. Its gameplay is definitely distinct from Eco-Saurus. Eco-Saurus has you picking up rubbish, this has you spelling words. It's also got PC speaker text-to-speech. Not sure if Eco-Saurus had that.

Your turn, Gribbler.

EDIT 2: Okay, decided to find another one, I'll leave the first one up though.... guess both? ROFL.
Anyway, the thing nightmares are made off:

Seems like a version of bombjack to me, though I've only seen the Arcade and Famicom versions before.

Dunno if anyone cares, but the first (hidden) one is "Lost Eden". And I guessed that on the previous occasion too :D.

Correct to all 3 of you... LOL
But... but... no one guessed both... ;)

My dad used to drive us crazy with Bomb Jack (which I always called it Bomber Jack, for some odd reason), as he played it for hours... meaning we couldn't play anything... :D

Iceboty, your turn.

CW, for some odd reason I thought the name of the game was a one word only, and all I could remember of it was that it was French, had "dinosaurs", desert and the sound track, which I loved so much that I actually transfered it to tape so I could listen to it in the walkman/car. :)

Correct! It came about a year after SF 2010. It was released in the US by Jaleco -- and that version looked slightly different:

Post by: Sephiroth on Sat 27/09/2014 13:21:11
This is as suggested a not so obscure retro french game, from 1986, it's been released on amstrad cpc, c64 , dos, msx and zx spectrum.

It's been released in english of course, keeping the same name. There was a sequel that looks very similar , I'll accept any of the titles.

And here if you want another clue: (the last screenshot I have is almost an instant giveaway so I'll post it later if needed)

It is indeed The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, which I fully recommend not only for its looks.

I'm waiting for The Vanishing to be released for PS4. Sure looks like a nice game!

Here's another one of my favorites:

P.T. stands for "playable teaser" to be exact. :)
BTW, did you see the second one from Tokyo Game Show?

Kojima and Del Toro will make people shit their pants. :)

As for the new screenie, I will post something tomorrow.

What's the difference between a teaser and a trailer anyways? Both start with a T and tease you to trail... or something like that ;)

Quote from: selmiakWhat's the difference between a teaser and a trailer anyways?
A teaser generally doesn't contain content from the actual game. As Kojima stated with P.T., this corridor and scenes around it won't make to their Silent Hills game. The are just to show you what they are aiming for in terms of tone, atmosphere, etc.

Here's next game to guess:

Come on! It's all the fun! Alone in a dark room, and with headphones on. Outlast was not scary to me at all. Over the years I got immune to cheap jump scares. Fingers crossed this new Silent Hills game will be different.

You must be braver than me then, because I just couldn't finish it (though I will play the Silent Hills when it's done, I'm sure of that).

Just off to the shop to buy either Alien Isolation or The Evil Within... I don't expect to be too scared by either of those but I do expect them to be good games.

Maybe cause it's from DiscWorld II? I've only played Discworld and tried to play Noir (it kept crashing so I gave up on it). Unless  there's another game that plays with Discworld. :)
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Ben X on Thu 16/10/2014 17:45:04
I'll take that as a guess at Discworld 2, Cassiebsg? If so, you are correct! In one of Rincewind's journeys through a portal, he accidentally ends up in the first game for a short cutscene!

(I was considering taking a screen-grab from before the newer Rincewind shows up, to be more difficult, but decided that was too unfair!)
Title: Re: Name the Game

Nope. The game pitched itself as a cyberpunk thriller and has a strange fantasy-world VR section.

As for Gribbler's screenshot... I dunno, all these dungeon crawlers begin to look the same to me.  But the palette has a definite Amiga look to it...  Ishtar 3 perhaps?

It is a LOT like Stardust.  (Gah should have picked a game that definitely WASN'T ported to the Amiga, but I think the number of truly STE-exclusive titles was probably limited to a handful of freeware games, the market wasn't big enough to sustain a proper commercial release.)

Thx for these clues Creamy.

First time I saw the picture, I thought about "D" on Playstation (first of the name).
But it can't be "D", as you said it's a flash game.
So I browsed some flash adventure games lists, but without success.

I wonder if more ppl play that game than "my" Short Grey! :-D
Next time (if I "win again one day"), I'll pick the most obscure amiga shareware I played 20 years ago! 8-0

Yeah. Atavismis is correct. The Mega Drive version to be exact, as the first shot is a loading screen unique to that version (yeah, a loading screen in a cart game) and should be a dead give away to anyone who has really seen that version. The second "shot" is the sprite of the very frequently seen item container. I refused to provide further shots because any other thing would make it no challenge at all.

I thought about it too, but Gurok said "obscure", so maybe a (shareware) clone of Elite?
(Btw, Elite don't have such gfx colors imo/in my rememberings)
Maybe we'll need a second screenie or an hint...

Return to Fractalis.

(No I don't really think it's that. But I wanted to guess it anyway! ;-D (roll) )
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Gurok on Sat 28/02/2015 10:10:20
Not Elite, not Return to Fractalis. A hint? It's about killer ants from outer space. Here's another screenshot:

I urge you to reconsider! It's an awesome game and has Ron Gilbert humour written all over it. Basically, it's a Diablo meet Monkey Island type of game. I loved it.
Title: Re: Name the Game

It is a C64 game, and that's probably obvious.

The screen I posted is a "loading screen" between levels and rumor has it that, at the time, it was kinda unusual to see such loading screens between levels because they were animated. Today we would call them "preloader screens", probably.

It is! :D Well spotted!

I have to say: I discovered this game only in the past few years. To me it seems like one of those underrated gems that nobody ever mentions. IMHO it had lots of interesting features, for the time, but sure was tough as hell...

Here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_TMlsvUekc)'s a smooth longplay, anyway.

Also I always forget its right name, so putting it here now I'm pretty sure I won't forget it again (roll)

I seem to remember some flying ships on that game. Though, this screenshot seems to have poorer graphics... (roll)

Nope on both counts.

It still looks like a flying ship... so maybe... Discworld: Noir? (the scene reminds me of the flying turtle, and I remember ships in Noir - though I haven't actually finished the game, so maybe there is no such scene. (roll) ).

I wouldn't know either, and in any case, it's wrong.

Another no.

It's a fantasy setting with elves, dwarves, humans, etc.

I suppose I might as well fire up another screenshot that's maybe a bit more indicative of the rest of the game.

EDIT: I only now looked back on some of the earlier 150+ pages and noticed that the original idea of the thread was to showcase ADVENTURE games, though some previous games haven't exactly been that either. In any case, for fairness sake, I'll note that this game is NOT an adventure game.

Nope. For the record, this game DOES have other environments than just snow, including deserts and swamps.
Also: It's a free game.

It's a free-to-play FPS game available on steam.

Hmmmm,... the last screenshot reminded me Unreal Tournament's "Onslaught" maps. But Unreal Tournament is not a free game.

Then it was like "deja vu" and I rememembered one multiplayer FPS game that WHAM mentioned a while ago, which reminded me UT too.

It was called Planetside :).

It took me two seconds to drag "main character of the game is played by Malibu from American Gladiators" over to a new tab and scan the results for a vampiric title!

(It will take me slightly longer to put up the next game; give me 12 hours.)

As you said it's kind of cheaty maybe this is a game that hasn't actually been released yet... since the style reminds me very much of one of my most anticipated AGS games in production, I'm going to guess Rise of the Hidden Sun?

Hmm.  Graphics style rather reminds me of The Bitmap Brothers but I'm not aware of any vertical shooters they released other than the Xenon games, and it isn't one of those.  The other screenshot is irking me but nothing's coming to mind.

Ah man I actually owned that particular game, and I still didn't get it! (roll)  In my defence the ST version looked quite different from that (I assume C64?) version pictured. Should have still got it from that second screenie though...

(http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/269134-the-games-summer-edition-atari-st-screenshot-the-event-map.png)

Wow that seems a long time ago now... we used to have huge multiplayer events when my nieces and nephew came round.  I seem to remember that the Hammer Throw did in at least a couple of joysticks!  Was always fun when you accidentally threw it towards the camera and the screen shattered.

E: The game seems to be from the DOS and/or early Windows period. I've a few more names in my mind, but I'll not be giving away those names for now.

MMmmmmm, you're really close with your guess, but I would prefer the correct title in this instance ;)
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Adeel on Tue 09/02/2016 21:20:49
Now that I recall it, it certainly can't be "The Three Sisters' Story" because it had a different interface, although the publisher is the same.

It is Seasons of Sakura. A good visual novel. ;)

I agree. You have a great taste in the games. :) For me, the first one was "The Three Sisters' Story".

I'll put up a screenshot later tonight. Should I fail to do so, I'd like you to put up another one (so as long as it is from a visual novel - 'cause that's what I intend to do myself).

Ok, let's see if anyone can guess this one:

Hmm.. a game featuring the London Underground... the graphic style and icons at the bottom suggest arcade adventure, otherwise I'd possibly take a punt at one of the Renegade games (only familiar with the Speccy graphics of those games so the Amstrad screens might be a bit different, apart from obviously more colourful!).

Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Adeel on Wed 02/03/2016 21:38:14
Yeah, it's a Japanese visual novel. It's a proper Windows program i.e. not a DOS-based game. When you click the right mouse button, a neat menu pops up which is similar to that of Windows 2000.

It was released in USA by 2003. And I've confirmed that the entry about this game does exist on Mobygames. Here, another screenie with a most visited scene with the menu I was talking about:

Got it. Danzvare wasn't kidding when he said this thing was obscure, it's not on Mobygames or Wikipedia. Nevertheless, a glance at Zombi's article on the CPC wiki revealed the title: Hurlement, which I'm guessing is meant to be an unofficial adapation of The Howling the same way Zombi was of Dawn Of The Dead.
Title: Re: Name the Game

this is a different Ant Attack from the classic C64/Spectrum game; this one's a shareware title for DOS.

Ah, well that figures :grin:

A hint, or another screenie would also be nice. :-D
There's just too little to go on.

Although that screenie does kinda looks like it's part of a cutscene where the Washington Monument is slowly rising from the horizon. I could be wrong though, because as I said, there's too little to go on.

Tbf I didn't actually realise this one had come out on the dear old Speccy until I looked it up, thought it was purely a 16-bit release.

HINT:
Spoiler
This is the sequel to a game that was very well known on the Spectrum
[close]
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Danvzare on Wed 06/04/2016 10:05:03
Elite 2?
Although I don't think that was ever released for the Spectrum.
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Atavismus on Wed 06/04/2016 10:12:30
I also thought to Elite, but the HUD is different.
I guess it's Starglider 2.
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: CaptainD on Wed 06/04/2016 10:16:43
Yup it's Starglider 2.   I had it on the Atari ST, actually pretty stunned that they ever made a Speccy version of it.  (The thing that I thought might give it away was the planet name "Apogee" - weirdly that's something I remember from all those years ago, that and the novella which game packaged with the game, and the fact that I was utterly useless and navigating those tunnels under the planet surface!)

Elite 2: Frontier pushed the 16-bits pretty hard, I don't think they could have done it on the 8-bits without scaling it down so much that it made it pointless.
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Amayirot Akago on Wed 06/04/2016 13:06:44
Ah, darn. I had a suspicion it was Starglider but didn't bother to look it up or anything.

Still, the first game did have a pretty sweet opening theme on the Atari ST :D

Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: CaptainD on Wed 06/04/2016 22:30:48
I don't think it is, but just because it's a space game that never got an ST version so I never got to play it, I'm going to say Deutros.

(Man Millenium 2.2 was a pretty awesome game...)
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Atavismus on Wed 06/04/2016 23:16:55
It's not Deuteros and it's not a strategy game.
As you guessed, it's an Amiga game (there is a PC version too).
Hope it will help. :)
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Danvzare on Thu 07/04/2016 13:57:08
Huh, I never would have guessed that this was an Amiga game (I love that machine). I personally thought it was a Mega Drive game.

Hmm, is it Whale's Voyage?
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Atavismus on Thu 07/04/2016 14:04:33
Yes Danvzare, it's Whale's Voyage (http://hol.abime.net/1692) (and yes, I'm a huge Amiga fan :D).
It's a Sci-Fi Dungeon Crawler with a space exploration theme.

Well done, your turn! :)
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Danvzare on Thu 07/04/2016 14:48:19
Because I couldn't guess any of the Spectrum games and also because there's a Spectrum game I wanted to put up here at the time everyone was posting Spectrum games, I'm going to continue with the Spectrum theme.

(http://orig01.deviantart.net/4ab3/f/2016/098/7/4/spectrum_game_1_by_danvzare-d9y5lru.png)
I've cropped a bit from the top, and a fair amount from the bottom, because they give the title away.
In my next screenshot, I'll probably just blur those parts that give the title away.
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: CaptainD on Thu 07/04/2016 15:31:02
Hmm... interesting.  I feel that I should know this but can't quite place it.  As a guess purely because I think the graphical style was similar I'm going to say Treasure Island - but I don't think that's what it is.
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Danvzare on Thu 07/04/2016 19:21:23
Nope not Treasure Island.

EDIT: Here's another screenshot to help move things along.

If you can make out the blurred bits, you could probably find out the name of the game easily.
Title: Re: Name the Game

It's Doctor What, an unlicensed Doctor Who game for the Speccy.

There's meant to be four of them in the game according to Moby.

That's the one!

Nowaydays the risk is extremely high to get spoilered while googling some clues. No idea if the whole game still works.

Are you trying to trick us here?  At first I was looking and thinking this was an Intellivision game or something from an ancient system, but looking closer there are actually a lot of different shades of undithered grey here (not 50 but a good number), which would actually suggest a more modern system.  The apparent low pixel count may also be a misnomer...

(I don't know what it is, just thinking out loud!)

As far as I know, this game is based on a series of (apparently somewhat popular) books.

Wow! I can't believe it was indeed OnEscapee - it was a looong time ago I played this.

I'm sorry I couldn't do this earlier :( , but here's my screenshot. Quite old adventure game - I think it was released in 3 different languages, but the titles are more or less the same:

No, it isn't. Septerra Core was a pretty cool game by the way (if only it wouldn't be so long and monotonous...).

QuoteIf I remember correctly, it's Liath: World Spiral. (or, by the Polish name, Liath: Spiralny Å Å¡wiat :))
Yes! It's Liath. Also known as ЛиаÃ'‚: СпиÃ'â,¬ÃÂ°ÃÂ»Ã'Å' ÐÅ"иÃ'â,¬ÃÂ°. Too bad I found out about this game only recently and running it on the modern Windows properly can be a pain...

From the MobyGames page:

"Amateur made, shareware imitation of Monkey Island 2 / Simon the Sorceror."

"The hero looks suspiciously like Guybrush Threepwood from Monkey Island 2 - and the game even begins with him hanging from a rope."

Though it does also say "But don't let that put you off - this is a quality game in its own right." so might be worth a look.  I've never heard of it tbh!

I never owned any Amiga computers when I was younger, though one of my friends had a blazing Amiga 1200, with hard drive as well. :) I only recently bought the Amiga 500+, just for the sake of my retro collection. :D Amazing little thing, too bad I don't have as much free time as I used to. ;)

But anyway, onwards with the game! How about this one?

Can't remember ever owning a footie for the spectrum. can't even remember being remotely interested in a footie game, even if my brother was.

EDIT: After a 5 second google for "football zx spectrum" I got the answer... and funny enough the name of the game tells me so much more than the actual screen. So yeah, we did had that one. (laugh) And I remember having Kick Off too!

So--- it's ...err... Match day?

Actually I'm not sure if there was ever a game with the exact title "Match of the Day" - it would have been amazing to have Des in it though.  Watching "Grandstand" on the weekend was pure escapism.

But no, this game is not "Match of the Day".

As for the Alter Ego game. I've played it! :-D
Although that ending. Damn, I don't think I've ever seen a more emotional ending in my whole life. When you get to the end of the game... that's it. The end. No game over, no "This is how you did!", no score, no nothing. You just... die!
Just like in real life. Kind of depressing really, especially with how my first character lived her life.

I've played this game before, and I found it having some stunning 2-D and 3-D visuals, but the game was confusing as hell for my stupid soul to understand what was going on and so I didn't spend much time on it before forgetting all about it.

I actually recognised the shop background as something that I must have seen before, but couldn't remember what game it was. I was almost certain about it when I saw the 3-D shot, though my memory told me that it looked better than that BitD. :grin:

Anyway, as it's 3+ a.m. now I'm in no condition to post something new ATM, so anyone can steal a turn if they like. I may try to post something if my turn still isn't taken when I read this thread again.

HAHAHA!!! I've been watching Jacksepticeye's let's play of this, and he just finished that section, but he didn't look at that picture for very long, so I didn't pick up on who is was, and neither did he (he doesn't play adventure games much)...

The narration says something like "I don't know who this one is, but he looks younger than all the others..."

Nice reference!

It is of course Guybrush Threepwood easter egg in Uncharted 4.

GAME BACKGROUND AND FEATURES

This game, at the time it came out, was so groundbreaking that it was almost as if someone traveled back in time from the future with a list of everything that would be the expected standard in games 30-40 years later, and put them all in the game:

* 1st person perspective exploring (faux 3D of course but still innovative for the time)

* Open-ended game-play (even if you failed the goals/quests you could still keep playing for as long as you want: Just leveling up, gathering equipment and fighting the big-bads)

* Procedurally generated random dungeons (also customizable to 1-10 floors, each getting harder the deeper you go. The game is different each time you play! Or you could save a layout that you liked and replay it from the start again.)

* AN AUTOMAP!!! (perhaps the first game ever to have an automap that fills in the floorplan as you explore)

* Minigames! (Some rooms contained puzzle games or lucky-dip style games, amongst others)

* A stats wiki for enemies (after you meet an enemy the stats profile of it is available for viewing at any time)

* 100's of different enemies (All with different stats, critical hit %, special attacks: poison, webs, bleeding damage, earthquake attacks, turn-to-stone, etc etc)

* Dozens of different weapons/shields/armors/etc. available at shops on each new level, or findable in chests/vaults: Better stuff available the deeper you go...

* Dozens of different spells to cast: offensive, defensive, buffs, etc (And actual graphics showing the spells taking effect: Lightning bolts, fireballs, magic missiles all flying around on the screen!)

* Many different kinds of traps for your rogue character(s) to defuse (Both on chests and outside rooms in the corridors)

* "Wandering monsters" encounters! (You couldn't feel safe even when not in a room: Even in the corridors a monster mob could pop up at any time and you have to fight (or run-away) right there on a custom overhead corridor map that accurately showed the real layout: straight, T-intersection, 4-way crossroads, etc. For extra realism if one character ran away down a certain exit then all other characters had to leave by the same way...)

* Multiplayer! (The game was designed to be easy for a group of friends to take turns playing and have a character each that they personally controlled)

* Open-world! (You could freely roam the many branching corridors of each level and even go back up a floor, or all the way back to the starting room if you wanted to...)

* An unforgettable music score! (I can still remember the tune exactly to this day)

All this back in 1982?!

It was a friggin' miracle! And it set the bar for every dungeon crawler game to come after. And set it very high indeed!

I haven't played this one, as I never owned a TI-99, though I read about this game quite a lot back in the day, when I was doing a little research about oldschool RPG games (as I flippin' LOVED some of the 80's RPGs when I was younger, notably Ultima and Wizardry series... heh, who am I kidding, I still love them - proudly owning a nice collection of Ultima games, also started playing Ultima IV Remastered on C64 recently. :D)

I thought it looked like Hogs of War. And considering I only played that game a bit back when I was around five, that was an amazing guess on my part.
It was probably the PS1 graphics, the clearly pig shaped characters, and WW1 aesthetic, that gave it all away.

Fun game. It always reminded me of Worms.

This thread might actually be a little more fun without Google I feel. Why not just throw your suspicions out there ("It kinda has a Star Wars feel to it...") in the thread and then maybe that hint will spark a memory in someone else, and then we zero in on the answer as a group.

Just my opinion... :)

I think Adeel's hunch about the artist was right - that looks like Andrea's style all right, from Donald Dowell.

I'll pass my turn to Adeel though (assuming I'm right of course!).
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Mandle on Wed 22/06/2016 13:06:23
Yes...the game was Donald Dowell...a game that holds a HUGE room in my heart as it was the first game I spent hundreds of hours on doing the english language editing...

And not only that: It's one of the best free games to ever come out on the AGS engine!!! Get it or regret it!

Oh, and by the way...The next game I spent even more hundreds of hours editing was "Tales"...

Which I hear is approaching its final release!!! Get excited or regretcxited (UMMMMM....??? )...

So...over to Adeel...
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Adeel on Wed 22/06/2016 22:53:44
Thanks, guys. But I had already googled the image when I was getting the strong vibes of Andrea's signature style. As such, I had already known that this game was Donald Dowell (a game I had been meaning to play for a long time and even carry it with myself on my USB flash drive). I refrained from further posting because of the obvious reasons.

As such, I feel that I really don't deserve the turn. With feelings of gratitude, I'd like Dave to take his rightful turn. :)

Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Danvzare on Sat 25/06/2016 11:00:58
Hmm, it's showing Europe, and is supposed to be topical. So I'm guessing it has something to do with Europe, because of the whole EU referendum thing that happened in Britain recently.
I don't know any games that are specifically about the EU or Europe though.

So instead I'm going to ask if it's Battleships?
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: CaptainD on Sat 25/06/2016 21:12:22
Not battleships... you're right that it's about Europe, in fact (huge hint) that's in the title.  This is the sequel to another strategy game that also had Europe in its title.

That fake (prerendered) 3d gfx are not common on Amiga I guess (like in Donkey Kong Country).

It was released on the PC after 1995, but before 2000. And as far as I know, it was only released on the PC.
I don't know if it was shareware. Information for this game is scarce, and I played it years ago on a compilation of pirated games. I don't remember it having a shareware message though, or any episodes. So it probably wasn't shareware.

I have no idea, but if it starts with "I" and seems to be about war, I'm gonna guess:

Insurgency? (or something like that?)

Don't really know what I can do for hints really

Erm the game was a late 80's title.

A fantasy platformer developed by a company that would later settle on the RTS market for a while.

Indeed!

Still, Legend of Grimrock (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legend_of_Grimrock) is a recent success so why not hehe

I'm surprised it didn't take him one minute. That game is the Casablanca or Wizard of OZ of the video game world.
If you've never played the original Deus Ex, then you can't call yourself a true gamer, at least in my opinion.

Best game ever. Probably not my most favourite game ever (even though it definitely gets in the top ten somewhere), but definitely the best game ever made.

WOOT! I played The Room on my mate's iPad on the way back from volunteer work in Fukushima after the tsunami. We were travelling along the expressway in a heavy blizzard with an under-experienced driver who was fishtailing the van and overcompensating constantly. Then she missed the exit to the rest area where we could have changed to a better driver and we had to wait another 15 kms until we could be out of danger.

I mention all this because The Room saved me from having several heart attacks. I just kept playing it from beginning to end and kept telling myself that I would be alright because I was in The Room, not in a car sliding out of control on the packed snow, and it worked!

Here's the next one:

Well done Cassie!!! Over to you...

Plug:
Spoiler

If anyone has not played Adventure Island I suggest that you do. It's quite long, and there are I believe over 50 puzzles, some of them quite intricate, but nothing that ever seemed unfair after the fact. I managed to get through it without using any hints, but it took me about 2-3 weeks on and off...probably over 15 hours game-time. So if you have the time and want to play an amazing adventure game: Get it or regret it!

Another cropped screenie:

Also: In my opinion, this is one of the most disturbing horror games of all time. It really throws the balls to the wall in its total disregard for our comforting, ingrained version of normality, and in the feelings it invokes of paranoia, helplessness, and cosmic insanity.

In other words: It scared the bejesus out of me, and I loved every moment!

Actually I figured it out simply from the prison uniforms and the fact that you said horror game. No googling necessary.
If you hadn't said horror game though, I probably would have asked if it was Hard Time.

To continue this trend of cropping screenshots, here's mine.

Yep, it's been updated a lot since then. All the movies have been released, plus the epilogue which you get for completing all of the movies (or by inputting a cheat).

How did you figure it out?
"snes japan rpg 1995" in google (Images tab).
It's allowed right?
Of course it is, it's not like I expected anyone here to have actually played it. (laugh)
Thanks for telling me.

Ooops I forget a bit this "guess" and didn't provide any hint, sorry.
It's an european game from 1995 and it's not SNES nor Megadrive.

I forgot about this thread. How did that happen?
Hmm... roughly 64 colours, European, not made for SNES or Megadrive, put up by Atavismus.
I'm going to guess that it's an Amiga game.

A quick search on LemonAmiga reveals... nothing.

Yep, I've still got no clue.

I only managed to find it by looking up 1996 and Team17.

I don't want to sound pedantic, but the most complete and accurate Amiga database is Hall of Light (http://hol.abime.net).
HOL is considered as the reference (even if I like and even prefer Lemon that is more friendly and users oriented).

The page of Speris Legacy states 1995 for AGA and 1996 for CD32.

Still, sorry for the inconvenience. :(

HOL is regularly updated and very exhaustive.
It even includes unreleased games.

I'll be glad to help you to find some of them if you want.

Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Gilbert on Wed 14/09/2016 20:12:36
The original Cho Aniki (http://www.mobygames.com/game/ch-aniki) for PCE was actually more or less a port/homage/re-imaging/spiritual-successor/parody/whatever of Gynoug (https://www.mobygames.com/game/wings-of-wor) for the Mega Drive. They were made by the same people, but for some reason they added an intentionally lame plot to it and it worked, making it into a series, with weirder and weirder sequels. For example, Ai Cho Aniki is the first sequel (also for PCE), which instead of an ordinary shooter, they hyped up the gaybody-building aspect and introduced features like command driven special moves (think Street Fighter). The other games in the series just looked crappier (VERY probably intentional as well) and crappier (for example the games for the PS and Saturn used digitised graphics like Mortal Kombat).

Okay. Next!

You're on the right track though.

Just to make life easier. This game was on the same platform as the last entry, and unlike the last one, (I think) this was released also in the west, and had connection to a certain big name, so it should be a relatively easy guess despite the obscurity of the game.

None of the above...

Just in case I repeat this again: what you see on the screenshot is not some generic "darkness" but actual part of the surroundings you can see in game :D.
Also I recommend try adjusting your gamma/contrast, because color hue may matter.

Ok I may post a new image soon if no one guesses.

Here's the most extreme contrast fix I could manage on the image:

[IMGZOOM]http://i64.tinypic.com/of3gc2.png[/IMGZOOM]

I'm thinking it's a stereoscopic, or magic-eye, image...which I'm usually pretty good at with some sick eye-crossing skillz...(also works awesome for spot the difference puzzles when I need to cheat...)

But no luck so far...

Anyone?

Every time I think I see an important star in the sky it turns out to be a spot of dust on my monitor...

It looks like a game involving space and at least three large phallic structures...

So I'm gonna guess:

Having stared at those textures for too damn long while making my own compilation texture pack, I'm also fairly confident it's Minecraft. That sky looks exactly like The End.
Although I'm going to wait until CW confirms it before I post my own screenshot.
After all, there's a small chance it could be a Minecraft clone. (laugh)

Sorry for the double post, but I know that sometimes edits can go under the radar.

So since CW seems to have disappeared, and both me and Ryan Timoothy are absolutely confident that it was Minecraft, and I suggested it was Minecraft first, I'm going to take my turn.
If anyone has a problem with this, please tell me. :-D

It did to me too, but there's way too many colours there.
It looks more EGA to me, but even then it looks as though it has too many colours. :-\

And seeing the latest screenshot. Yep, I've never seen that game before in my life. Unless it's a port or something.

Yeah I should have enlarged it, didn't realise there were so many shades of green in there!

Having seen the other screenshot I have absolutely no idea.

Was it any good?

I honestly thought this would be pretty easy, especially with the hints...

I know the pictures are only a small number of pixels, but those small pixel areas have been stared at by many for decades now, so I thought somebody would catch on. The games are too iconic to even think about showing a full-screen picture: It would be an instant giveaway.

I'll do so tomorrow though if nobody has the answer by then.

Sorry if I'm pissing anyone off... I just thought it would be a bit of fun to call shame on the first person to get the answer...

They once were, yes. (nod)
You've got to remember, all graphics back then looked that bad, so everyone sort of imagined it looking better than it actually was.
Like you said, even you didn't remember the graphics being that ugly.

Sorry everyone: I was trying for something a bit different and that I thought might have been worth a bit of a laugh about at the end of it...

Like most attempts at such an endeavor it did not work out and was not very much fun for most of the players...

This happens with both forum games and actual games all the time but, every now and then a true gem of an idea appears from something unlikely...

So: I have learnt my lesson with this attempt, but do not feel discouraged to keep trying.

At least from the OHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOODDDDDD I got from the winner I feel one person got some fun out of it.

Now on with the game!

This one has a lot of history behind it:

In my opinion it's one of the best indie efforts that got picked up by a studio and got ruined into an absolutely HORRIBLE game via the pressure of money.

The original was INCREDIBLE and it even seems like it might have a bit of a comeback possible through the underground movement of the original fans.

What made it so great for me was that it was an online FPS that was actually realistic: If you got shot you pretty much died instantly or a bit later from bleeding out, and once you were dead you were DEAD... There was no respawn... You just sat out the rest of the round as a silent spectator (which wouldn't work these days as everyone would just cheat through voice-chat channels... so the game would just have to black out your screen until next round)... Anyways: the whole dead is DEAD aspect made your heart beat just all that more, especially if you were one of the last guys left on your team, and even more if it was down to you and the last opponent... Ahhhhh, good times...

I will be following the potential revival in any case as I would love to play the original again...

Counter Strike?

Ohhhhh...so close... In fact, players of this game used to make fun of Counter Strike fans in much the same way that Star Wars fans make fun of Trekkies (and vice versa)...

Another thing I loved about this game was that the sound effects of the gun fire, hits, and ricochets were just like: "pop-pop...ping-ping" instead of "BLAM-BLAM...THUD-THUD". It never sounded like something that would actually kill you, which is pretty much what guns sound like in real life, and this made the game so much more tense (for me at least), until the studio release screwed it up and put in all the usual Rambo-style sound effects like as if the recording mic is an inch from the end of the gun barrel for every shot...

Anyways: Here's another screenie from one of my favorite maps:

Anyway, I've searched and I've searched, but the closest I've found in terms of description, is a modern indie game called One Life.

This looks like some sort of mod to Serious Sam or something.
I can't figure it out.

Yes, they are from different versions of the same mod...

The game was originally a mod built on an open-source game engine (probably one of the first to manage to do so and become a seperate game in its own right instead of just a slightly different flavour of the original)...

This game probably helped to pave the way for more and more studios to open-source their engines and reap the benefits of licensing fees on commercial games developed with them. A radical shift in the way games were made and one that we experience personally through AGS...

I remember when it was announced that this game had been picked up by a commercial studio and the fan-base went ballistic with fear of what might happen to "our" beloved game... We had never heard of such a thing even being possible!

The creators assured us that they were sticking to their guns (ugh) and that they would not let the "suits" change what made the game great or make any compromises just to get the "moneh"...

Well... either they lied, or got led down the slippery slope... Probably a bit of both...

Well spotted. The game was a mod of the game Unreal Tournament, and so was indeed running on the Unreal engine. I never played the original Unreal but I assume they used leftover assets from Unreal to build the HUD if it looks that similar. As UT was built directly on top on Unreal there were tons of unused artifacts from the original game still in the code, and you could access them through the editor. So you could bring all the old monsters, weapons, etc, from the old game into the newer game. It was tons of fun tracking down the old assets. Ahhhh: the good old days...

Quote from: Danvzare on Tue 08/11/2016 15:47:33
Tactical Ops?

Well done! The game is indeed Tactical Ops, or Tac-Ops as it was usually known. It was hard to find screenshots of the original mod version. They were mostly of the shitty "Tac-Ops: Assault On Terror" commercial version. The original is still available for download as a mod (you need to also have UT to run it) but last time I checked a few years back there were no multiplayer servers running and trying to create a server didn't work either. So it was only possible to play against bots, which got boring very fast. Maybe one day...sigh...

Over to you Danvzare!

When CW mentioned that it looked like the Unreal HUD, that's what finally allowed me to track this game down.

I threw Heretic 1 in my guess simply because I've never seen that one, and I figured it could be similar to its sequel.

Yep, I think that's Foxy.

I've never even played the game. I only made that guess because the author of a webcomic I read, never shuts up about the game. And since I knew it was a C64 game, and you showed a picture with a ball in it, I just made a complete guess.
Maybe I looked up the game at one point, and subconsciously remembered the title screen. :-\

Nope, it's actually a fairly popular game. It's been ported to just about every system I can think of.

EDIT:
Just to demonstrate that, here's another cropped screenshot of the same game on a completely different system.

I know for a fact the sequel, Uncharted Waters, got a DOS release over here, I played a pirated (ha, appropriate :P ) version of it at one point.

EDIT: Wait, I got the two games mixed up, New Horizons was the second one. Didn't even know there were more than those.

Motherload is quite a gem of a game. It's a free online flash game available at Miniclips and many other hosts.

Give it a try if you dare: It gets very addictive! :-D

The screenshot reminded me of a game I saw on the C64 once (so I figured it might be a port). So I looked up C64 and Rabbits, and somehow despite this clearly NOT being a C64 game, I found a screenshot of this game. ???

Anyway, the answer is International Ninja Rabbits.
But I don't feel right in taking this turn, so someone else can have it.

Alright here's a hint, this game was a spinoff title of a now very popular franchise.

Amayirot Akago has got it. It's the Jungle Book (1996), an adaptation of the 1994 film starring Jason Scott Lee, and liberally using archive footage of his role in the movie.

Go look up "jungle book ibm" and you'll find it. Unfortunately, you won't find much. I'm considering posting the entire video content to YouTube (I own both CDs).

They're making a sequel you know.

Well here's a screenshot of a game that definitely isn't fictional.

It had early nineties and Sierra written all over it. If it wasn't King's Quest or Quest for Glory not much choices left. And "aimed at kids" was a definitive giveaway for me.

What are you talking about? Better looking?
Putty Squad looks the exact same!
Well, at least the original Putty Squad that came out several decades ago on the SNES. Not the modern remake. That one does look horrible.

Sorry about the two guesses in one. I knew it was one or the other, and it's been a long time since I've played either.

This one should be easy for anyone who has played it.

It's not a strategy simulation the way you seem to think, but you need strategy.

On the assumption that Dan is actually letting me take the next go, I'll tell you that it was Tony Hawk's Project 8.  I didn't know it, had to check.  My silly guess was based on his clue that "Skate" was getting close.

Okay anyone recognise this one?

Well, when it comes to pixel porridges, you're clearly a connoisseur ;) Go for it, Atavismus.

(the reason the screenshot's so murky is cause it came from the PS1 version unemulated)

Lovely game!  Spent ages getting good enough to beat the final opponent and almost wrecked my mouse in the process.  I played it again recently on an emulator and... well, let's just say I don't think my reflexes are what they once were :embarrassed:

I also played this like there was no tomorrow. And I think this game is highly dependend on a CRT screen with no lag at all.
Try it with a real amiga and an optical mouse, it helps a lot :)

Not the same studio. Don't know about the engine.

Screenshots are misleading. The game is TPP, it only has some FPP elements.

And my rather subjective opinion - the game has a very cool soundtrack. At least one track was so good I remember ripping it out of the game to listen to it on daily basis.

yea the shader/graphics look a bit different, also i cant remember pink paint in mario sunshine..

splatoon looks like the most likely candidate

*EDIT:  99% sure its spaltoon 1 if you check on google image search of the tree models they used, its pretty much identical to the screenshot posted here

You got it man, it's Hocus Pocus Pink. :D (aka Hocus Pocus Pink Panther)
It was released in 1997, although some countries received it much later (2000 in Poland, for example). I loved this little adventure game as a kid!

Pitfall VS Jason?
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Gilbert on Tue 15/08/2017 02:08:10
Actually I never played any of the Pitfall games, but for some reasons I recognised the enemy immediately.

I know that image was to trick me, considering how detailed and colourful the background was (the clean sprite told me it's not because of compression artifacts), so it was to be a more recent installment. The Mayan Adventure came to my mind as it's the only "modern" version I have ever heard of.
And I checked Mobygames (http://www.mobygames.com/game/snes/pitfall-the-mayan-adventure/screenshots/gameShotId,235708/) for this, thinking I am correct.

At first sight I thought it was Midnight Resistance, but after looking for screenshots it seemed that the characters did wear shirts in that game. Later, I thought it might be the original Duke Nukem games, but on second thought the character didn't look that similar. Probably not a Contra game either, unless it's some weird Western port.

In other words, no idea...

If you cannot see it, just paste the url of the image found by quoting my post and paste it in a new browser tab, which usually works. Sorry for the inconvenient.

I remember playing this "game" a lot BiTD, having much fun in designing the car's body and fascinated by seeing the wind blown through it. That "map" screen was something that I recognised immediately, but I've only played the Apple ][ version.

I've definitely seen the box of this game in the past, and the shot is probably from Apple ][ even. I just don't know what game it is. Maybe I'll do some investigation (not image search, of course).

Edit:
Okay. After googling "Apple ][ cartoon bear" it immediately gave me the name of the series:
Spoiler
Stickybear
[close]
Which actually was a popular edutainment franchise consisting of a number of games. I'm too lazy to do further research to find out which specific title this would be, so anyone can work from here and find the answer for the win.

Don't be ashamed. They were good games. Funny, short, and reasonable puzzles. Arguably better than all of the Leisure Suit Larry games as well. (laugh)
Such a shame that we'll probably never see the third and final entry in the series. :~(

Now as for the current screenshot. Um... Mission Critical?

Time Commando?

I found out the game, because the current screenshot looks a little like it was made with the Little Big Adventure 2 engine, so I just checked out what other games that company made.
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Amayirot Akago on Mon 18/09/2017 15:08:03
That is indeed correct, good sleuthing ;) Always loved this game, simple (and often clunky) brawler but I love the premise and aesthetic. Funnily enough, Stanley (Time Commando's protagonist) makes a cameo appearance in LBA2 as an enemy you can fight. Your turn!
Title: Re: Name the Game

It's amazing how identifiable the aesthetics of that engine is.

As soon as I saw it, I knew it was a detail from a Sierra game, but I couldn't figure out which one. It took some detective work to find it (basically, looking at many screenshots of Sierra games). It's Police Quest 3, isn't it? I remembered pretty well the background it came from (http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/police-quest-3-the-kindred/screenshots/gameShotId,359554/), because of its strange angle.

One of those monster games in the series including Movie Monsters? Possibly including the word Stomp in its title or whatever.

Alright. It IS The Movie Monster Game (http://www.mobygames.com/game/c64/movie-monster-game/screenshots/gameShotId,127187/). I originally thought it was the earlier game (http://www.mobygames.com/game/crush-crumble-and-chomp) as I couldn't immediately recognise the shot (and that I've only played the latter game).

I'll just give up this round to whoever likes to pick it up.

That was a total shot in the dark that I made simply because manifest class thought it might have been KQ3, and I figured that this was clearly not an AGI game, and I knew that KQ4 was an EGA SCI game.

Apparently not, so it's Pyjamarama, for the ZX Spectrum amongst others.

That's right, it's the first game in the Walking Simulator genre. Made more or less a decade before that genre even existed (although that's just a very rough guess), and probably ten times better than most games in that genre.

Cl3ck got the correct answer. It is indeed Gunman Chronicles, a HL total conversion. It's really hard to get a hold of now, but I played it recently and it's actually very good, though the difficulty curve is a little borked.

Golden Axe

*Ding ding ding* A winner is you!

It was actually taken from the arcade version. In the original Japanese version there was a brief scene in the attraction mode where the player decapitated a thug (https://tcrf.net/Golden_Axe_(Arcade)), which was removed for the other versions. The even more popular Mega Drive version (and most other ports as well) also had this removed for obvious reason.
For this reason, I bet not many people here might have seen this and this was intended to be the tricky part.

The reason it appeared high res was because the head zoomed towards the screen and it was quite large compared to the head of a typical character sprite.

Anyway, your turn!

It's actually Sega Rally 2, but this answer is close enough so I'll give the win to you.

Its connection with the last game was that late Iino Kenji (or Kenji Eno), the creator of Enemy Zero (and D, D2 for that matter) was one of the composers for this racing game.

Very, very good, Kweepa! :grin: "Tei Tenga" is what the planet where Doom takes place was originally gonna be called according to Tom Hall's Doom Bible, and references to this can still be found in the final game in textures like these.

Three times "no", although ClickClickClick and Danvzare are getting close. :)

A final hint - yes, it's an MMORPG (or MMO graphical MUD, as it was known back then), which predates Ultima Online by roughly one year. It's often reffered as one of the first comercially successful graphical MMORPG, and praised even today for its brutal rules, unforgiving difficulty and one of the best PvP combat systems in MMO games.
After the original devs bought back the rights to the game, the title became open source, and even to this day several passionate people run private servers, and pump new content and patches every now and then. Talk about dedication!
(if you played, or even heard about this one, the name should be pretty obvious at this point :))

I'm sold! A huge problem for online multiplayer RPG games is that players cannot accept perma-death as an option for their beloved characters. So they just get a kind of time-out.

WTF???

If perma-death is never an option then how are legends built within the game world? How can a player feel proud of their progress when it's just really grinding with the occasional setback?! How does any player's actions make a difference?!

I'm all for the die-and-then-start-from-scratch approach to online RPGs and good on the diehard fans for keeping such a game going!!!

While there's no perma-death in M59, death comes with a huge cost - you lose several % of randomly chosen skills, you go down by one level and all of your belongings (items, equipment, money etc.) are dropped in the place you died (and, unless you know a certain spell, by the time you get there they'll be long gone - but since whatever killed you is most likely still there, going back with almost no HP and vigor isn't the best idea either). Basically you can lose several hours/days of progress and your entire inventory if you're not careful.
And since player killing is available almost anywhere, you really need to be on your toes while training outside, otherwise a PKer will put an axe in your head, or burn/zap with a spell. Oldschool brutal fun in all its glory!

Anyway, your turn CyberUncleCat. :)

Ermmmm...

(I suspect the "tries" image of the closeup of the character is a big clue but I honestly cannot get a visual read on what their face is supposed to look like inside the helmet. I dunno if the black area is hair, an eyepatch, or some kind of visor/heads-up-display, or what. I suppose it makes sense it you know who it's supposed to be but not in reverse...)

This should give it away - at least the character (it's not the first in the series):

You live and learn!  It's all about Gil Gerard and Erin Grey to me, I've never seen Buck Rogers in book or comic form.

Nice guess but it is not Psycho Dream - if my memory serves me PD was not released outside of Japan, and i said that this game indeed was:).

All right time for a hint:
Mechanics of this game are very similar to Strider's. In fact this game can easily be considered Strider's clone.
Title: Re: Name the Game

I threw out all of mine cause I was young and stupid ;_; I don't recognize this new screenie, tho. Kinda reminds me of the Clonk games, maybe?
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: CrashPL on Sat 30/12/2017 09:24:29
I actually backed up some of my most used shareware CDs, when the portable hard drives became an affordable good (remember the times, when "portable" hard drives were bulky, heavy, and required an external AC adapter?) Given how ridiculously expensive these things are nowadays in Poland (like most of the popular retro stuff from the past), I made a wise choice. :) But I wish I backed up more of my collection, as some were lost or became scratched to the point of being completely unreadable...


Anyway, no, it's not Clonk. ;) A small hint - it's somewhat of a Bomberman clone, but played like a 2D platformer.
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: CrashPL on Tue 02/01/2018 08:16:09

I remember I played Mortal Kombat on arcade: that was a shock! (not only because of blood).
That game is something in the video games history I guess.

Something totally different now:

Something about that bugging me that I've played it... for some reason the hut on the right with the barrel and chimney stack looks familiar - however unless it came out on the ST or DOS, it's highly unlikely that I have played it.

Well, I thought it has a ST and/or DOS version, but it seems not (only Amiga).
New hint: it was released in 1989.
Next time, I'll post another screenshot with the UI (so it would give you another hint).

WINNER!!!

The boardgame itself was good, really good: A dumbed-down version of D&D that friends could play for a couple of hours per "campaign" and come out the other end feeling they had an epic fantasy world experience...

Stories were told, epic conflicts took place, and whether you won or lost a hero rose from the flock and won the game.

But the digital edition is even better! The AI is challenging enough that I still lose against it every now and then: It seems to plan several moves ahead at times which is awesome and yet frustrating when they outsmart me.

If anyone plays it I recommend playing with the "city" board at first because it makes the game easy, and then not using it and only playing "highlands" and "dungeon" expansion boards for a real challenge...

Most brutal setup:

Dragon expansion with dragon rage turned on.
+ Firelands expansion deck.
+ 5 AI players.
+ Dragon King hidden ending.
+ Dragon Tower board replacing inner region.
+ Nether Deck expansion turned on.
+ Frostmarch Deck turned on.
+ Grim Reaper turned on.
+ Highlands and Dungeon boards in play.
- City Board (too many OP exploits)

This setup took me about 80 full turns to win and I was the only original character remaining (AI characters died almost every turn but one or two were powerhousing most of the time) and I got within an inch of death several times. Great round!

Anyways: Over to Buckethead!

K240 indeed, a great game, really.
One proof: you can put an engine on an asteroid and use it as a weapon to crash on other bases. ^^

abstauber got it! The Super Shinobi(or, The Revenge of Shinobi in some regions) it is! But it's not on arcade. It's on the Mega Drive instead.

And yeah, it has some crazy rip-offcameos (https://tcrf.net/The_Revenge_of_Shinobi_(Genesis)#Revisional_Differences), which were mostly edited out in subsequent versions, but Spiderman stayed as they somehow got the license (to make him a villain!), until the recent VC releases, where they no longer held the license.
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Mandle on Wed 25/04/2018 02:27:22
Hahaha that page you linked with the cameos is awesome!

The one I would disagree with is the need to change the "Godzilla" boss character as it doesn't look enough like Godzilla (missing back and tail spikes for one thing, and the colour is way off) and could almost be just a generic dinosaur but it's probably a good change because that skeleton dinosaur with internal organs is awesome!

No wonder...
These dithering photos were what Dynamix (in)famously known for, especially during the EGA and early VGA times.
I've looked for Ghostbusters games in mobygames before making my last comment, and did find Ghostbusters II (http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/ghostbusters-ii) by the same people(released in the same year even). Even though the horrible dithered photos looked quite close and that the uniforms looked alike I spoke in my conscious that this was not a Ghosterbuster game, and it wasn't, though had some close relations(same style, made by the same people) that I was not aware of.

They share Aersomith and a 90s PC aesthetic, but I don't know if there's an actual link with the game and video beyond that.
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Gilbert on Thu 03/05/2018 06:55:24
The only Aersomith game I knew was Revolution X (I actually have the PC version picked up from the bargain bin).
I was curious and asked Great G the question "Aersomith games" and immediately I got Rev X and this game(now I know this game but I cheated so, nevermind). Looks interesting.

You are actually allowed to use google as long as you don't just directly google the image itself. It's not cheating. It's detective work.

Doraemon 3: Nobita to Toki no HŠgyoku (but not the SNES version, apparently)

The character looked familiar, but I have to admit I searched for "anime with a blue and white cat".

Ugh... I just remembered that an old mate used to hang out his washing over a gate outside his apartment and one day his face lit up with realization and he said to me:

"Do you know what this is?!"
"What?"
"It's a DRY-MON!"

(Gate is "mon" in Japanese)

I gotta admit I laughed a lot more than I should have...
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Gilbert on Mon 07/05/2018 06:41:42
Actually in Japanese DRY-MON is pronounced DO-RA-I-MO-N, which is only one character different from the original name, and is a VERY common parody of the subject...

...subject... anyway, back to subject! Zach, is Cl...'s answer correct?

BenX got the bottom half.

The game pictured is indeed: "Chronicle Of Innsmouth: Mountains Of Madness", sequel to the original, now in production, with a demo being shown off at an Italian game convention this weekend!

(The demo is currently only in Italian but I will be starting work on the translation once the dialog is a bit more final. It's looking great so far!)

It is. The first of two so far. And the head thing is the exact reason I took the screenshot. Your turn.

In their defence, there's no actual clear rules for these games, but yes I agree it should be a game/film/tv show that's been released, otherwise we open the floodgates to cancelled games, films still being shot and so on. Also, please tell me that isn't a game you're promoting for!

Figured someone might recognize it as it's the work of some well-known veterans when it comes to adventure games. There is a demo available, it's currently in beta testing, so it's not necessarily that hard to guess.

I remember someone posting a screenshot of a Hero's Duty from Wreck it Ralph. That game doesn't even exist as a real game! Yet no one had any problem with it, and it was guessed quickly.
So, I think it depends on whether or not the game was released, and if it isn't, is it well known.

Heh-heh, I'm surprised nobody mentioned the time I put up a screenie of Polybius, a game that has probably never existed, well the original at least.

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...

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.

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.)

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 think there are already many instances of cropped screenshots (most of the time removing the HUD, but sometimes even leaving only a small command icon) or even edited ones in some other ways (such as removing the player character)?
I find it perfectly okay to crop the screenshots when they're too obvious.

They really need to make a modern first-person Terminator game. Could be a Crytek-y game set in the future with a day-night cycle where it moves between the browns of Salvation and the classic blues of Cameron's flashforwards, or maybe one set in the present where you're a Sarah Connor type getting hunted down in an open city by a single Terminator, and the game gets all Alien Isolation if you get stuck in the same building.

Ahem, anyway. Next pic:

For the game itself... obviously a coin-op conversion, for some reason looks like SNK to me, knowing Atavismus it's probably an Amiga port.  Badly translated from Japanese?

Ok, my guess is: An old game. But maybe find another host for the picture. Rattling off all 5000+ games to find the correct one could take a while.

I made a fatal mistake of playing this game when

b.) it was already dark outside

The combination of the first death, the dogs cutscene and the torture scenes from the circles of hell left me traumatized for several days. :~(

I thought it would be easy! It is indeed Pepsi Man- your go Adeel.

(Anyone who isn't aware of this game, I recommend watching a speed-run of it by Awesome Games Done Quick - it is hilariously weird/awful.)
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Adeel on Wed 10/10/2018 20:42:19
Personally, I don't see why you would be ashamed to post this game, Ben. I respectfully disagree that it's awful. Hilariously weird, yes. But not awful. It has good gameplay.

Despite Pepsiman's blatant advertising (and hilarious portrayal of a fat white dude as 'typical American'), it's still a good game. I really enjoyed playing it on my cousin's PlayStation back then (and I still enjoy the game whenever I emulate it now).

This game is a predecessor of runner games popular on mobile today.

Anyway, here's another easy game to guess (I've cropped out the GUI):

I was just joking about the shame! I haven't actually played the game, though, it just gets portrayed as being rather shoddy in the speed-runs. But I suppose hyperbole in that direction is regularly part of the performance in that culture, so I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it :)

Every time I see that logo I expect the "dinna-dinna-dinna-dinna" Ghostbusters theme intro to start playing. That's how iconic that moment was for me, and many people I'd expect.

Having played it recently, it reminded me of the time when games all tried to have as few GUI elements as possible in an effort to be GUIless.
What happened? Most games nowadays have a ridiculous amount of GUI elements littering every free spot on the screen.

The title screen, lol.

Okay, I'll just straight up describe it. Mid-nineties game where you unlock transformations into animals. I always couldn't work out where to go next not far in, which was a shame as it was a solid game iirc.

I couldn't find the system behind my damage output. It seemed rather random to me and made me lose a couple of times. Important word in that first sentence is "I". I tend to think it's my fault, not the game's.

Doktor Tak sounds like Polish archnemesis of Dr No. Now here's an idea for a spin-off, alright.

A very recent game I'm highly enjoying, shouldn't be that hard.

Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: ManicMatt on Sat 17/11/2018 11:41:32
Doctor Tak, heh.

Its that game that's not all on the disc on consoles, which to me, renders buying a physical copy redundant. I refuse to support this nonsense and I shall wait for a preowned copy or the digital version to go on sale.

Curse my principles, I'm dying to play this!

So yeh, Spyro Reignited Trilogy.
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: CrashPL on Sat 17/11/2018 12:10:54
Heh, I knew it's going to be easy. :D Yeah, waiting for that 20 something GB mandatory download sucked, but man, once I started playing I got so hooked, I ended up after two hours and one level into the Magic Crafters world. So far I'm loving it, though I noticed they changed the flight controls somewhat, I was surprised to hit the water several times during the Sunny Flight.

Anyway, your turn Matt!
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: ManicMatt on Mon 19/11/2018 09:57:48
It's not waiting for the download, but the fact that you don't truly OWN the game. Right now I can slap in any psone Spyro game in any ps1, ps2 or ps3 and play the whole thing. Can the same be said for this if the servers for PSN on PS4 go down in ten or fifteen years from now? Probably not, and then we'll have to buy the port they'll probably make for PS5, ca-ching! When it's preowned or reduced, I will get the physical version actually, because the first game has always been my favourate. Infact, I might make and print my own custom sleeve for it that reflects having one game on it.

Anyway, this is becoming a "what grinds my gears" post haha.

As an early twenty something, this was my favourate level in any game. Dunno why.

That was quick! Or even Mr Moskeeto in my country, for some reason. I can't blame them for not using Ka though, commercially speaking. I found it odd capcom used the title Sengoku Basara for its better-than-dynasty-warriors ps3 game rather than the ps2 prequel's European name Devil Kings. I don't mind having the original Japanese names, but I can't help but think it doesn't help sell a little known franchise outside of Japan, and we never saw any more titles, sadly.

Over to you!

Yeah, poor Simon was indeed a victim of the 3D craze of the '90s.   :sad:
The first 2 Simon games were amazing!  This 3rd one... not so much.   :undecided:


I can't think of another game right now, so anyone can take my turn.   :wink:

It's interesting that everyone jumped on the 3D bandwagon, even when it was clearly inferior at the time. No one seems to have kept making 2D games and pushing that boundary. It's only in the last few years that pixels have become saleable again.

But you've got to admit, a lot of games were approaching their third installment at that time, and calling your game TITLE 3D was just an opportunity you couldn't pass up.
Earthworm Jim 3D
Simon the Sorcerer 3D
Duke Nukem 3D
All third installments, all appended with 3D.

When movies went through their latest 3D phase, they just stated shoving 3D at the end of every movie, with no regard for whether it was the third movie or not. Which really annoyed me.  >:(

Vampires has nothing to do with it. I simply played it some because of it being released open source. And it was an easy guess due to the protagonist.

I know this could be a bit hard as the Famicom version was only released in Japan (and it's a disk release, not a cart, even). This was intentional on my part to make it more obscured.
This version looked bad, but actually played quite nicely.

Hey, I played a demo of it on a shareware CD too!
It wasn't until many MANY years later, when I finally got to play the full version. I never saw it in shops you see. (Probably because by the time I got that shareware CD, the game was way too old.)

I still have that shareware CD too. It also had a demo of Dungeon Keeper on it, and cultivated my love of that game as well. Thankfully I managed to find Dungeon Keeper in a shop.

LBA2 was great!
While the 3-D backgrounds didn't look as good as those composed of pre-rendered components like its precursor it was way ahead of its time.
It had all the benefits of the fixed dramatic cameras(such as AitD and BioHazard) but still flexible enough without making it real-time 3-D.
It's also a much longer game and contained a larger variety of stuff too, and the controls were a bit improved.
Will find another screenshot soon.

I seriously miss these kind of CDs. That particular one with LBA2 demo was legendary for me, as it featured a ton of other amazing games, including a demo of MDK, CoMI, Adventures of Lomax and many, many more great games.

Quote from: Gilbert on Mon 11/03/2019 02:03:11
It's also a much longer game and contained a larger variety of stuff too, and the controls were a bit improved.

My only complaint regarding LBA2 was
Spoiler
the jumping mechanics, they didn't work very well with the rotational/tank controls, especially considering Twinsen's amazing swimming abilities. Also I was rather sad when I found out you couldn't visit most of the Twinsun's islands from LBA1! But on the other hand we did get 2 entirely new planets (or rather a planet and a moon), so I guess it's a fair deal. :D

It's been a long time, but as far as I remember, changing action mode in LBA2 was much faster than in the first game. That's one of the improvements on control that I can remember.

Yup, not only it was quicker, LBA2 also had shortcuts to quickly change the behaviour - they really helped, especially during the platforming/combat parts!

Alright, let's keep the ball rolling:

Well I did say it was close.
And besides, I think some (if not all) of the levels in Zipang are different to those in Solomon's Key. I'd have to check to verify that though.  :-\

Speaking of Solomon's Key clones, have any of you ever encountered an old windows version, with a level editor and the ability to play with up to three players, and a chibi artstyle?
I've been looking for it forever, but as far as I can tell the game doesn't exist on the internet.

Dare to Dream was Cliffy B? Wow. I was perpetually stuck in the (rose?) maze of I think the third or forth one in the series as a wee lad.

Unreal is a great game, in my opinion. The AI is smart, level design is pretty good and weapons are a lot of fun. In fact, they reused many of the guns in Unreal Tournament.

That is correct!

I just finished playing through the series again to see how it holds up now I know a bit more about game design.

It was still very good and a lot of fun. I'm thinking of writing a piece on my thoughts on each episode, unless Grundislav pays me a lot not to...  (laugh)

Yeah, it would be awesome if the Ultima franchise came back. But considering EA owns the rights... let's just say it'll either never happen, or if it does happen, you'll wish it didn't.
But hey, we can still dream.
It'd be nice if Might and Magic made a proper comeback as well, Sci-Fi mixed with High Fantasy and all.

I can safely say I've never played this or seen pictures from it before. But the axe does make me think a bit of Tokyo Ghoul.

I found the game easily given the info in the first picture and saw the second picture on the page I found. I find it interesting that the game was written by the same person who wrote Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

It's Saya no uta (english title: Song of Saya), a perfect example of denpa horror!

The one who gives a definition of denpa can take the turn!

If "denpa" is "電波" in Japanese then it means "transmission" or "reception" with regards to sending or receiving a wireless transmission.

Well, for what I understood is indeed "reception" of a twisted reality or sort of...

Unlikely. There's 31 colours in the image. While I think the Amiga could support up to 32 colours on screen at once, most games had 16 due to being Atari ST ports. (Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of that.)
The art also looks like modern pixel art to me. Which suggest a modern Indie Game.
(This is all assuming you don't know the answer. If you do and was giving a hint... why?)

Is it one of those 2d pixel art indie Dark Soul clones?
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Atavismus on Sun 20/10/2019 13:24:37
It's an hint indeed. ;)
Also, your comment proves Amiga has always been "modern" hehe
Spoiler

The game was released in 1993.
But maybe I should not give hints, I didn't proposed that game after all. ^^

That's because the 'camera' is too low down - the shadow would be on the top of the step, we can only see the front of the step.

I'm more familiar with the arcade version and the console ports, but this was definitely Rodland.
Considering the huge HUD I think this is either the Amiga port or the Atari ST port right? (Though with those weird limited colour choice I think it's more possibly the ST port.)

I don't have any idea ATM, so this round is available for grab.
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Ben X on Tue 22/10/2019 07:27:11
That's the Amiga port according to the YT video title! I could have sworn there was a boss that was one of those cute yellow things that gets all massive, but I couldn't find it in the vid...
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Gilbert on Tue 22/10/2019 08:34:45
Could be the compression for being a video capture. Neither the Amiga port nor the ST port look as bad in reality:
https://www.mobygames.com/game/rodland/screenshots (https://www.mobygames.com/game/rodland/screenshots)
Even the ST version is quite colourful. I think the most noticeable difference between the two is the amount of shading in the HUD.
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Ben X on Tue 22/10/2019 14:19:20
Hmm, yeah, the vid is a little darker and less sharp - they could have put a pixel-smoothing filter on it, in which case I apologise for introducing such heresy to this thread!

As the round is open, I'll do something weird and make you all guess from a clipping of a review from the same issue of Amiga Power that reviewed Rodland and Super Cauldron. No cheating by looking up issues or doing text searches! I'll give one hint - this is a budget re-release.

Yeah, same. I even live in Japan but not really into anime except the obvious and unavoidable ones like Gibli Studios stuff. And I agree that Akira is a masterpiece. Actually it is the only anime I own the DVD of I believe.

Had no idea there was a game. I just recognized Neo Tokyo in the picture.

So here's a screenshot and a hint:

It was published by a game's company, that now seems more interested in selling pachinko machines than video games.

You're on the right path, but as I've said before it's not a part of the Animal Crossing series.

You got it. A surprisingly decent Animal Crossing clone.
And trust me, if you think it looks like Animal Crossing from just these screenshots, then keep in mind that it also sounds and plays exactly like Animal Crossing as well.

Nice idea, but it's not from Toaplan and it's not really a shoot'em up.

Never know what wrestling brawlers there are on the system (wrestling fandom is non-existing here) I took a look on its library, confirming with screenshots from Mobygames.
It's Fire Suplex (AKA 3 Count Bout in the west) (https://www.mobygames.com/game/3-count-bout/screenshots).

I don't think I deserve it - I mean... "Knightmare" isn't that close to "Nightmare", in this context.

But if the others don't want it, I will come up with something in a couple of hours :)

100% correct ^_^

And the music theme of Roland in Time, by Amsoft, seems to have been stolen from Dr. Who.

Not very surprising, when you consider the goon who owned failed computer Amstrad  :=

I was 8,5 years old when I got an Amstrad CPC6128 with green shades. One year later I got an Amiga, and it felt like I went from the stone age to modernity.

True enough.  It has a life of its own..

In the meantime, because I think it was vaguely the right time period, I'm going to guess at Tiger Moth?

EDIT - ah scratch that just looked it up, only produced from the 1930s.

Where's the Biggles Compendium I had when I was a kid?  I bet the right plane is in there somewhere!!

No. It's more of a name of the type/kind/sort of the plane and not its make.

Oh wow, and I even made sure to show a not-too-obvious screenshot, hahah. Yeah, it was a fantastic game! I remember that my tiny brain was amazed at the time at how complex it was with all the trading and the strategies you had to come up with to buy stuff in one place and sell it somewhere else in order to make a profit, buy better ships and hire more crew (although you always had the possibility to just clobber them over the head and drag them to your ship, lol), as well as how many different factors and resources you had to juggle. I sank a LOT of hours into this one.

I know that one - Escape from the planet of the robot monsters. I could never get very far because the slanted isometric perspective + standard four keyboard arrows never aligned properly in my brain. I received the game as part of a boxed ‘Tengen’s EGA Arcade Hits’ as a birthday gifts when I was maybe 10, and it also included games like APB and Hard Driving.

If CaptainD confirms that guess to be right, and I’m pretty sure it is, someone else can take my turn.

I do look up pictures, but only in the way that I type in the name of the game to confirm I'm right and I'm not posting wrong answers. Nothing like tineye or similar.

That's the main game mechanic. Rising Dusk is advertised as an anti-coin collection platformer.See these black blocks with "12" written on them? They disappear if you catch 12 coins.

How did you guess it?  :-D

Yes, it's Wordtris for the SNES! It's different from the DOS version for the circus setting and the cool soundtrack!

Can't be Gabriel Knight 2 (unless the image has suffered massive downgrading)
Maybe 7th Guest? (I have played neither, btw)

No, but there are connections with the last two games.

Definitely not the 7th Guest.

I'm going to guess Harvester. I've only played a few minutes of it, but such a scene wouldn't feel out of place.
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: KyriakosCH on Mon 01/02/2021 20:10:25
^It might be that, I mean when I saw the "It Came for Dessert" pic I immediately thought of Harvester (due to the nice cake scene).

It's obvious that the girl which only had her spine remain, died from natural causes: "Son, you can't live without your spinal cord; nothing unnatural about it"  :=

Seems I've killed this.
Anyway, take my words in my last post.
This is tricky because I bet most people here haven't even seen this game (and it was my intention in choosing this game).
However, it is also not at all tricky because as mentioned, it was related to the last two entries. In fact, it was extremely heavily related to one of them.

I may post another screenshot later.

Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Gilbert on Sun 07/02/2021 05:09:23
Yeah! You're correct. It's the TG16 version of It came from the desert!

This version is so obscured that I bet nearly no one has seen it.
lt is not at all tricky because it's the exactly same game(or a port, or a remake) in a previous entry, but I think most people will lose it since it was TOO straightforward.

This version of the game changed all the cutscenes into ugly FMVs. At least its framerate was smooth as far as I remember. I've never completed it but I've heard that this version had some serious balancing issues, that some of the action sequences were next to impossible to beat.

Anyway, TheFrighter, you're next.

Ack, when I looked at the game, I think you're right. 
I took the clue to mean that it was something else that rhymed with 'Mandle', but not candle.  Hence, Randal rhymes.   :embarrassed:
Title: Re: Name the Game

Yes, the title of the game is Candle and I thought Mandle guessed it. I probably gave it away a bit too quickly... but hey :)
I am sorry if my last post was a bit confusing.
Also, if you never played Candle you should give it a go - imo it's a perfect combination of a platformer and a point'n'click :)

Turned out they only published one game on that system(according to that list) and that's it, so I'll skip this.
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: milkanannan on Wed 31/03/2021 18:20:42
Perhaps the game that killed SNK? Must not have been very popular, so I'll just throw in the towel.

The game is called Dexterity. Quirky, but the mechanics of the game were solid and offered a lot of variation that kept each round fresh. Here's a playthrough:

Incredible! How did you guess?  (laugh)

The game was an interactive movie for playstation, mac and windows. Starring in the game Andrew Bowen, Rob Lowe and George Lazenby!
Later the producer used the FMV footage for a theatrical movie adding some scenes with Gary Coleman!
Bizarre thing, the movie was distribuited in many countries except the U.S.!

Here's the full movie in italiano dubbing:

Oh nice, I'd be interested in that walkthrough Frodo! I purchased it recently due to it receiving an English translation, and the fact that it reminded me of Discworld at first glance.

Lol, I didn't even notice it, until you pointed it out. I am not sure how this place was called in the game, but it definitely was the last stop, where the main character and his nemesis would check who collected more gold.

Conquests of Camelot: A Search for the Grail

Yes, that's it! One of the first games I played on a PC, probably back in 1990, it's remarkable because of the point system. Many puzzles had multiple solutions, but if you chose to be violent or sinful, you could end up with finding the Holy Grail and not being worthy of taking it. I also loved that the help system was to talk to Merlin.

I never played either of QFG3 and Conquests of Camelot (only seeing some screenshots of QFG3) and didn't realise these two games are so close in theme. If not comparing the screenshots of both games to see that they're really different, you'll bet lazy Sierra just reused backgrounds on both games!

They also have time management games which are often good (on the casual side, but still good) - this reminded me of one of those games I played a while back, I used to get sent loads for review when I ran a gaming blog. I stopped reviewing for one publisher who had games there when they suggested I could copy-paste text they sent me if I didn't have time to do my own review...  >:(

So true. Although those hidden-object games have become more and more like adventure games in recent years. They have more in common with Myst than the "Where's Waldo" gameplay they used to have.

Also, speaking of Big Fish Games, you're right about this being on there. Although it's quite unique in there if you ask me. More like a simplified Tycoon game than one of the usual Time-Management games.

Hahaha, yeah, it seems some game publishers view reviewers as a source of free advertising and, as long as they send them a free review copy, that the reviewer has an obligation to write a good review.
Recently, on The Escapist game site and Youtube channel (the current home of Yahtzee) they had an issue with Sony. Sony used to send them free review copies without them even requesting them but then, after a less than glowing review, emailed them saying "We do not like the tone of your latest review so we will not be giving you access to free review copies of our products in the future."
An email which The Escapist had the journalistic integrity to immediately expose.

They did...but this definitely isn't Rex Nebular, which is the one I can think of at the moment.

I haven't played this game, as I can't recognize these locations, but I _may_ have played a demo of it or seen a rolling demo of some sort if it was on a coverdisk/disc back in the days.  ???

Not every one would play the English versions of games though.
For example, if a game is originated in Japanese people here will prefer playing the Japanese version over the English one.
(e.g. No one here will call Biohazard Resident Evil. Even when we're playing the US version we still call it Biohazard.)

And Last Bible is already the English name of the original version.

Anyway, it's 15 Days.

I was right that I haven't played it but the graphic style is very reminiscent of the Animation Arts games (Lost Horizon and Secret Files) released around the same time which I really enjoyed.
Looks like this one didn't get a very good rating though, probably why I never played it. I'm guessing you have played it, what are your thoughts on it, worth checking out?

Yes, it's 15 Days.  You can get it from GOG (https://www.gog.com/game/15_days)

I don't understand the low ratings - I loved it!  It's a really good game.  And you get to play as different characters, and see the same situation from different prospectives.  Definately worth checking out.    :smiley:

I was right that I haven't played it but the graphic style is very reminiscent of the Animation Arts games (Lost Horizon and Secret Files) released around the same time which I really enjoyed.

It's really similar looking right? It was so weird that it looked familiar but the actual things pictured were unknown! Glad you figured it out!

This one has been driving me crazy, finally stumbled upon it looking through the Adventuregamers.com database, fortunately it was on the first page so I didn't have to look far, lol.

Anyway, it's 15 Days.

I was right that I haven't played it but the graphic style is very reminiscent of the Animation Arts games (Lost Horizon and Secret Files) released around the same time which I really enjoyed.
Looks like this one didn't get a very good rating though, probably why I never played it. I'm guessing you have played it, what are your thoughts on it, worth checking out?

Glad you can finally put your mind at rest.    :smiley:
Yes, it's 15 Days.  You can get it from GOG (https://www.gog.com/game/15_days)

Awesome, that's great to hear! I'll definitely check it out then. :)

Nah, that doesn't do the game any justice - the graphics were quite pleasing for the time. And even for a CGA conversion, much details have been preserved. The game itself is cryptic and unfair to be honest and only the visual kept me going. Here're some details, in case you're interested in a strange adventure game experience: https://hol.abime.net/2603

I'll accept this answer as correct, due to some really weird naming with this game. Full title: The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav. Other games exist in the world of the Dark Eye, though, and I think none of them use Dark Eye in the title, not even the sequel to Chains of Satinav. It's complicated.

Ok, time to move on.

The game was Zero Zero by the late Theresa Duncan. She released 2 other children games before this one: Chop Suey (1995) and Smarty (1996).
They're quirky and adorable.

Following a successfull Kickstarter campaign (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/710593842/theresa-duncan-cd-roms-visionary-videogames-for-gi?lang=fr), they were made available to play on browser by Rhizome (https://sites.rhizome.org/theresa-duncan-cdroms/emulators/). Too bad it's jerky - on my computer at least.

Wow, that was quick!    :cheesy:

Now, should I be really mean, and tell you to put the *EXACT* title?   *rubs hands menacingly
Or should I just tell you that the 'Mandril' isn't necessary?

I knew I recognised that screen and Will Shakespeare pushed me in the right direction!  ;-D

I played it many years ago but at the time I thought it was the most impressive freeware adventure game I'd ever seen. Pretty sure I never completed it though and was never quite sure if the "insert disk" message you got at one part of the game was a joke or because the game wasn't actually finished?!

Anyway let's see if anyone knows this one...

No. It's not a brawler.
And you indeed control that plane.
And and that is indeed the plane in After Burner.
But the game is not After Burner.
And before you try to reply After Burner II, After Burner III, ABC (After Burner Climax) or whatever, no, it is not an iteration of the After Burner series.
It's also an official arcade game, not a fan game or an indie game.
Title: Re: Name the Game

Sky Target
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: CaptainD on Mon 19/12/2022 17:58:11
IIRC the plane is an F14 Tomcat, though no idea what other games use it - since the only similar style game I can think of right now is G-Loc, I'll guess that.
Title: Re: Name the Game
Post by: Gilbert on Tue 20/12/2022 07:50:29
No. Not G-Loc or Sky Target. (G-Loc is sometimes considered to belong to the same (meta)series as After Burner, so it's definitely not it.)

More hints.
This is indeed another game developed by the same people who made After Burner in Sega (the AM2 division), so it is official.
And it's NOT a shooter game (so it's not Space Harrier, which was originally proposed as a fighter jet shooter and some of the console versions let you play as a (non F-14) jet).
And no, it's not a rhythm game either, so it's not one of those Hatsune Miku games (with the arcade version also developed by AM2 and has scenes ripped directly from ABC in one of the songs).

I'm reluctant to post another screenshot atm, as it would be dead giveaway (as long as you know this game, since it's a bit obscure among those 3-D coin-ops developed by AM2).

Will post another screenshot if still no one gets this in a while.

Yes!
Finally someone recognises it.
It's a (kart) racing game, and being able to control a F-14 on the street is no joke and not a hack:
(Hmmm. Seems that embedding YouTube video at specific time doesn't work for me. Just start at around 5:40.)
As long as your performance is good enough after selecting certain courses your kart will transform into this plane in the extra stage (and will transform into the bike from Hang On if you choose the other courses).

Your turn, Abstauber.

You're on the right track, but you're going to have to give me the specific entry. Either the number or the subtitle.

(And don't worry, I know most of the entries look similar, so I've made sure to choose a game where even someone who has never played it, can differentiate it from the other games in the series.)

Post by: Gilbert on Tue 28/11/2023 10:51:08
Correct!
A bit nitpicking here. AFAIK this game is indeed based on the movie but it's not really called "The Movie" (maybe a nick name to distinguish it from the original game, or was released somewhere on the globe with that name?), just called Double Dragon like the original game, to create as much confusion as possible. (They're not even the same genre!)

Surprisingly, this game isn't really bad.

But it's not showing when I use Chrome at home. I am able to view it if I copy the image URL in a new tab though.

The game is basically a blatant copy of Solomon's Key, but with selectable characters, multiplayer and a level editor. It isn't called Solomon's Key though.

I've cheated and used reverse image search so it doesn't count.
Turn out this game is very very obscure.
The only relevant page was in Korean, it showed a Korean name on the title screen but had an English name inside bracket, which I didn't even know whether it's the correct English title  (or whether the game was released in the west).

BUT the company name was in Chinese, so after further research, I found that this was an old Taiwanese DOS game (and the company is still around doing well), but the original Chinese title was completely different.

Anyway the name I could find are:

The only other images I'll be able to give now, are of other levels.

Also "Solomon" does not appear in the name at all.

And here's a hint. While I can't find a copyright date, it seems the game came out in 1998. I'm basing this on the "last modified" date of the files (which ranges from 22/05/1998 to 19/11/1998), the other games it's typically packaged with in Warez CDs (where I was able to find a copy thanks to the Internet Archive), and on the version of DirectX  that it recommends on the back of the CD case (which I managed to find an image of online).

Also it's a Windows game not a DOS game. But other than that, you've got everything spot on. The game was never released in the west to my knowledge. (Well not officially at least. Does piracy count?)

Actually the Korean page (and some Chinese forums) I've found mentioned using a specific launcher build of DOSBOX to run it, so it should be a DOS game (it might have been released also for Windows though).

It is possible that whatever war digital distribution service you got it from already had the game bundled with the launcher so it seemed to work seamlessly as a Windows app.

As I was literally cheating I initially didn't want to take the next turn, but considering how obscure this game was I think it could take forever to move on.

Nope, it's definitely 100% a Windows only game. I did find a version of it which came with a special version of DOSbox with Windows 95 pre-loaded onto it (which is probably what you found). But that was the second version of the game I found (the Korean version), which I only looked for because I wanted the CD music (the first version I found, had cut out the music and FMVs for space reasons).
The original version I found was on the Internet Archive and it was the original Taiwanese version, and it was on a Warez CD that predates DOSbox by around five years. Both versions are clearly Windows games.
You just have to throw in a DirectDraw wrapper and it works perfectly. (Although you can run it without a wrapper if you don't mind some major graphical glitches.)
I've found no evidence that there was ever a DOS version. (By the way, what kind of DOS game requires DirectX? Pictures of the back of the CD case on what I can only assume is some sort of Chinese knockoff eBay, clearly says in English that it requires DirectX 5.)

Oh, and I've also extracted the Korean version from that virtual DOSbox harddrive in case you're wondering. It's exactly the same as the Taiwan version, except one of the files has a slightly newer "last modified" date. But only by a few weeks. It's the file that contains the intro logos.

By the way, if you removed the FMVs and the music, the game would still require around 20 floppy disks. So I can say with absolute certainty, that there isn't a mythical DOS version sold on floppy disks. So if there was a DOS version, it'd have to be packaged on the same CD as the Windows version, which there isn't. So I think you're just getting confused because you saw that it's been bundled with DOSBox, and didn't realize that it's a special version of DOSBox that's being used to emulate Windows 95 and a disc drive with a CD in it (to get the CD music working).
By the way, if you want proof of what I'm saying, I can send over the game. You don't have to take my word for it.

(Sorry for the long reply. I just thought it was best to state everything.)

I never tried the game so I'm not sure, but if you're sure that it's a Windows game that it probably was, or also possibly a hybrid game that contained both DOS and Windows versions on the same disc.

I just don't understand the floppy part. There is no corelation between DOS and floppy disks. A LOT of DOS games came in CDs.

Yep, I'm absolutely certain it's a Windows only game (as certain as the sky is blue and the world is round).  (nod)
I bet if you download that version you found, you'll see that it's a Windows game.
I suppose there is the possibility that like you said, it's a hybrid game with both DOS and Windows versions (like GTA and Dungeon Keeper), but I've not found anything to suggest that's the case.
As an example, this site here (https://nemo838.tistory.com/5761#rp) lists it as a Win 9X game, with no DOS version listed. It's also where you can download that DosBox version with Windows 95 preloaded onto it. It's a bit of a pain to figure out how to do it though if you can't read Korean, but I managed to figure it out, so I'm sure you could.
So yeah, you shouldn't assume a game must be a DOS game just because some people got it running on DosBox. There are plenty of forks of DosBox, some of which are made to play Windows games.  (nod)

As for why I brought up the floppy part. I know that a lot of games back in the day used to release the DOS version on floppy disk and the Windows version on CD, with them both being sold separately (I think that's the case with Sim City 2000). So I just thought that I'd bring up that it was unlikely to have a DOS only floppy disk version due to how big the game is (it's small, but still nearly 30MB), meaning that if there was a DOS version, it'd probably have to be on the CD with the Windows version (like GTA and Dungeon Keeper). And since I can't find any CDs with both a DOS version and a Windows version (only a Windows version), then presumably there isn't a DOS version.

That being said if you manage to find and download a DOS version, please send it my way.  (nod)

Quote from: Danvzare on Sat 16/03/2024 20:51:45As for the screenshot. Is that Dragon Quest VIII?
Correct! That's fast, in memory of the great Sugiyama Koichi and Toriyama Akira.
Your turn is next.

I think I've had my turn long enough. And I don't have any games in mind. So I'll let someone else have it.  :-D

I'm glad I was able to instantly recognize Dragon Quest VIII though, despite having not managed to finish the game.  (laugh)

If Dan doesn't mind, I'll nip in here with the next screenshot.  :smiley:

Who recognises this top-down adventure?
