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...)

You need a date for the ceremony, babe?

So let's see... your avatar is a bird, Cat's is a ... well... a cat.  There's only one way this is going to end...

[Starglider 2]

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.

Okay how about another one?  There's actually something in this that may well give it away instantly to those who've played the game...

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

Holy cabbages, that was fast! Yes, you're absolutely correct. Your turn, brainiac

Ha well I feel a bit better now after all my wrong guesses and mis-remembers!

Okay, so keeping on a theme...

Mercenary?

Gratz guys!

I really like the graphic style.  Hope development goes well!

@Danzvare - hehe, wondered if that would fool some people.
@Anas - Yup!  Awesome game, really loved it, one of the few true 128K Speccy games.  Took a full 5 minutes to load!

Ah man my memory's seriously going

Okay, what about this one?

Captain Blood?

Honestly that one had crossed my mind too, but I wasn't aware it had ever made it to the Speccy.  (Off to look it up now! )

[BUGS]

AAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH I didn't post this for you people to find BUGS!!!!

We'll look into these, thanks for letting us know.

Echelon?

@Mandle - "HArry Kane" - "Hurricane" - ow wow I'm so dense that didn't even occur to me! :-[

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

Ah, well that figures

Oh, and I have a title:

Harry Kane: Extreme Weather Reporter

Are you a Spurs fan by any chance?

Uhm... that was actually easy to find, not that I ever played it... but searching for "+game +puzzle +buldozer +ant" gave me:

Ant attack.

Hmm... I seem to remember Ant Attack having an isometric view, though maybe not all ports were the same.

Well, maybe you can give us the machine? Atari ST maybe?

With those colours, I certainly hope not... I'd guess at Amstrad CPC personally.  Though I don't think knowing the screen is going to help me guess the game anyway!

I just played the game. Took me 10-15 minutes and I enjoyed every second! Outstanding art. Great puzzle

Spoiler

really only one puzzle at the beginning and the other 2 scenes were more for humour

. This one definitely gets my vote!

SHADOW

Thanks for playing Shadow, glad you enjoyed it!

We got a bit pushed for time so didn't include as much puzzly goodness as we would have liked.

The sloth now has its own AGS Games Page!  That's enough to push it into the winner's circle I think, "nothing" hasn't got one of those.   (Although doing a search for "nothing" does actually bring up 2 games!)
