Well it reminds me of Treebeard but I'm guessing not a LOTR based game...

Snarky is correct on both counts.

Alternativa?

Aha.  I won't say what it is as I cheated to find out (sorry was too curious!) - however I will say that if you had posted the game with the same name as this released 4 years earlier, I would probably have got it (especially if it had been the Speccy version).

Legend of Grimrock?

Might & Magic V?

Looks fascinating!  Grats on the release.

I'm certain Colour 0 is Black not transparent, so it must be the checking part that doesn't work.  (I also tried it with a different colour just to check and that did nothing either.)  Somehow it's running and doing absolutely nothing, "if (surface.GetPixel(cx, cy) == c[n])" is clearly not doing what I thought it would do, but I'm not sure what error I've managed to introduce!

The speed isn't too much of an issue as it will only happen three times in total during a (4-player) game, but I will look at other options.  Did think of also having the game keep track of each player's minimum and maximum x / y coordinates traversed and only check between then.  Of course Snarky's idea may well be better than mine.  (With his encyclopaedic knowledge of AGS scripting I'm certain it is...)

I found using the A, S & D keys no problem but after the first couple of hits to my opponent, she relentlessly dodged any move I tried to make halting progress.

When this happens you need to let your opponent attack, successfully dodge it and make an attack (preferably attack combo) quick enough to get through her defences.  (It's easier said than done!!)

Yup, Balance of Power. Taught my teenage self  about geopolitics more than anything else did!!

Really - no-one?  Always held the view that this was something of a classic and even a genre-starter.

Gameplay is pretty tricky (can see now what I need to do, but the lack of movement input flummoxed me a little at first!) - very nice graphics, and nice to see someone using AGS for something different (as DB said really ).

Oops just encountered a bug - you can select both Janices on the start screen and the game crashes (I pressed both keys by accident!).

Also graphics seem messed up if using Direct3D.

PC Globe? (Communism vs. Capitalism Edition)

Nope earlier than that (and this is a real game ).

[Pan's Labyrinth]

I'm going to take a stab at Pan's Labyrinth.

Risk: Communism vs Capitalism Edition?

Haha no - does such a thing really exist?! 

But of course the cold War was the major theme behind this game...

Don't know if this is a really easy one...?

Sorry about the indentation, I got frustrated with it and just hacked away at different bits...

I think I might actually ditch the idea.  I think either way might slow the game down... was thinking it might be acceptable, but maybe not.  Will check on the colour, was sure I'd used colour 0 to wipe everything before (but might be wrong...)

Hope the poor indentation doesn't result in another ban for me!

[OH NO!!]

OH NO!!  Do I spot.... CATACOMBS?!?!?!

The ones in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade give me nightmares even now.  Despite the fact that we used the hint book on that section!!
