Name the Game

[Pogwizd]

I don't want to kill the thread off, so here is a little tip: it's a Finnish shareware game and it's named after a type of a plane used in the years of WW1.

Ugh now you're testing my knowledge of WWI aircraft?

Sopwith Camel?

[Pogwizd]

Sopwith Camel?

No, but in the '80s there was a game called "Sopwith", which "my" game was based on.

I don't want to kill the thread off

I doubt you could. It always comes back, even after months of laying dead and rotting. We tried shooting it in the head. We tried the stake through the heart...

NOTHING WILL KILL IT!!!

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!!

[Pogwizd]

Tiger Moth

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

NOTHING WILL KILL IT!!!

If that's the case, no more tips (for now).

Biplane?

[Pogwizd]

Biplane

Almost - wrong number of wings.

[CaptainD]

Well then I guess Triplane?!?

I feel quite exhausted... 

[Pogwizd]

Triplane

Correct! The actual title is "Triplane Turmoil" but back in the day we would simply call it "Triplane".

Your turn

[CaptainD]

Hurrah! 

That was a tough one.

Let's see how quickly this goes... it's probably quite easy but I've given you only part of the screenshot so the main character isn't in it, and taken a name out of the speech bubble...

[Pogwizd]

Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet?

[CaptainD]

Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet?

Yes!  That was some fast recognition there. 

[KyriakosCH]

I guess it's not CarnEvil 

[Pogwizd]

To be honest I haven't played the game yet but it was easy to guess due to its characteristic artstyle

Next game:

[KyriakosCH]

Donkey Kongcraft?

[Pogwizd]

Donkey Kongcraft?

No. It was quite a hybrid in my opinion, as it combined elements of both rts and puzzle games.

[Frodo]

I love this game!  It's Gruntz!   

Let's play with some toyz.   

[Pogwizd]

I love this game!  It's Gruntz!

Good to know I am not the only one

Your turn.

[Frodo]

 

Okay, next game.
