Eternam!

Awesome game btw.

qptain Nemo · « **Reply #825 on:** 22 Jul 2013, 16:36 »

I knew you'd guess in 3 seconds, but the screenie was too fun not to use.

Yeah, lovely game.

abstauber · « **Reply #826 on:** 22 Jul 2013, 17:16 »

Yeah, some epic dialogs are going on there

Now from cats to dogs:

qptain Nemo · « **Reply #827 on:** 22 Jul 2013, 17:24 »

Haha, I actually consdered posting this! It's Ooze: Creepy Nites.

Hahah! I posted this a while back in this thread, didn't I? That is Fish!

qptain Nemo · « **Reply #829 on:** 22 Jul 2013, 19:24 »

Perhaps I should read the entire thread.

Correct.

Babar · « **Reply #830 on:** 22 Jul 2013, 19:31 »

Nice little game, that.
I'm scraping the bottom of my barrel of obscurity here, hopefully this won't be too easy:

Stripped of its GUI and title.

Cactus Adventure?

Okay, I made that one up. I think.

Babar · « **Reply #832 on:** 22 Jul 2013, 19:50 »

That sounds like it'd be pretty boring

.
Cactii(?) and deserts don't really play a prominent role in this game, this was just the first screenshot I could find that didn't give away a major hint of the game immediately.

abstauber · « **Reply #833 on:** 23 Jul 2013, 09:10 »

Mhh.. doesn't look very familiar, but someone sure liked DPaint's gradient splatter

What's that little rectangle in the lower left corner? Is this screenshot part of a minigame?

@qptain Nemo: I'm stunned how fast you've guessed Ooze. So it was had some commercial success outside of Germany?

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.

Babar · « **Reply #835 on:** 23 Jul 2013, 10:53 »

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

.
Here's another screen to help you out, with a little more of the GUI showing:

qptain Nemo · « **Reply #836 on:** 23 Jul 2013, 20:56 »

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

Babar · « **Reply #837 on:** 23 Jul 2013, 21:11 »

Nope! You're looking too far ahead with your guess.

qptain Nemo · « **Reply #838 on:** 24 Jul 2013, 07:50 »

I think it's time for more revealing screenshots...

Babar · « **Reply #839 on:** 24 Jul 2013, 09:55 »

I guess I did find one that was more difficult

.
A more revealing screenshot, but I've taken the liberty of still hiding two things.

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

).
