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.
Excellent, why haven't we done this before?
Sorry, here you go :

I think it's little known.

100% Correct. Sorry - I was AFK for a bit! :)

I dont know. When I came up with it I was worried that it HAD been done before! Glad its a new thing :)
Creamy: Is it Shadow of the Comet?
It's not the coach from SotC coming to Illsmouth, even if I can see the similarity.

Creamy: Is it Shadow of the Comet?
Funny I thought the same at first, although then I realized the buildings are rather the ones of a large city ;).
Gene Machine?
Yes ! It came out the same year as the first Broken Sword in France.
Your turn, Gribbler.
Nicely done Gribbler :-)
Here goes!:-)
[IMGzoom]http://i.imgur.com/vsLW8gK.png[/imgzoom]
Wow - I can honestly say I have NO idea! Looks good though :)
yay, another thread where I don't know anything! :D
Amazon Guardians of Eden?
That game is hilarious, but still pretty good. (nod)
Yes!!
Sunny, your turn:-)
Not so much of a conventional adventure game but I'm pretty sure it sits happily among the genre:
[IMGzoom]http://i.imgur.com/ZpyrJWL.png[/imgzoom]
Sorry for the small image size guys.
Litil Divil!
Indeed!
Your turn, Gribbler (nod)
This little gem. One of the best old adventure game releases in terms of box contents.
[IMGzoom]http://i.imgur.com/roygBhp.png[/imgzoom]
Barn Runner?
Spoiler
Okay, sorry, just kidding.
BTW, are AGS games allowed to be used here?
GOLD RUSH! :D

Bravo, Khris!:-)
Chewy - Escape from F5 :D

Spoiler
I was waiting for somebody to not rename the file :-D
Escape from Delirium it is!:-D
Try this one!:)
[IMGzoom]http://i.imgur.com/ttPL3Hp.gif[/imgzoom]
"Innocent until caught"
Well, not 100% sure, but looks familiar to something I saw loooong time ago. I mainly recall those interface icons for some reason.
Close, but no cigar:-)
Innocent until caught 2?
It has a different title...
Well, looks like I'm going to have to be that guy.
Guilty!
Now, here's another incredibly obscure choice, but arguably still falls into the adventure game genre:
[IMGzoom]http://i.imgur.com/qoYjMst.png[/imgzoom]
Good luck.
Burn:Cycle.
I give my turn to the fastest reply! Go!
Meh, easy. But it might trip up some of the kids around here. ;)
(http://www.vanwijst.com/games/Published/game_1.png)
Zork?
Everyone probably knows this one, I'm not well versed in many adventure games, certainly found a lot of cool ones in this thread I'm going to have to try.

Sure - just make them not

Bud Tucker in Double Trouble?
Yup, your turn.
Remember this one?
[IMGzoom]http://i.imgur.com/U4Z55Fo.png[/imgzoom]
I do but I forget the name. :(
Countdown :D
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/nOhIfVi.gif?1[/imgzoom]
Pretty awful game, tbh :)
Hey guys, use "zoomable image" tag please :(.
It is [ imgzoom ] image link [ /imgzoom ] without spaces (or click on corresponding formatting icon)

Apologies CW :)
HINT TIME: It's based on a HORROR NOVEL by a very well known horror author. :) There was also a movie adaptation. :)
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.
Correct Trampoline :D Your turn :)
The second game that caused me a considerable amount of discomfort & a feeling of nausea due to 'motion sickness' upon my very first try
(...the first game being Wolfenstein 3D). Nudge, nudge! :wink:
[imgzoom]http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/4869/itsanadventure.png[/imgzoom]
I'll be honest: too much hassle to make this one google image search safe :cheesy:
Stay fair peeps, though the choice is yours, obviously...
Is this Eternam?
Easy. Eternam.
Wow, man, you are on a roll! (Dang, and Ascovel too! I knew I should've removed that
GUI! :cheesy:)
You guys must be 'freakishly' old to know those titles!* :tongue:
*Tramp, takes proverbial pot & kettle and annihilates his own glass house...
Your go Gribbler...
I remember Eternam back when it was still in "upcoming releases", kid :-D
Something for true adventure connoisseurs:
[IMGzoom]http://i.imgur.com/HSUeM0P.png[/IMGzoom]
2nd part was published in the same year as Eternam, but can't go again...
Lara Bow?
Laura Bow, but it's a character's name not the game title. It doesn't count! :P
The Colonels Bequest :-) afk so someone can have my turn
Yep! But it can't be me again. Anyone?
One of my favorite Point'n'clicks!
(http://i.imgur.com/gZS3iqd.jpg)
That looks BEAUTIFUL
Hmmm...is it sinking island?
Nope! And yeah, it is quite a beautiful game! If nobody gets it when I wake up tomorrow, I'll give some hints! Don't wanna drag this out too much!
Black Mirror?
Black Mirror 1, 2 or 3 :)
Yep, correct. Looks like Tramponline was a good minute earlier!
Sweet! Hopefully somewhat more obscure this one and not that well known I hope.
(http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/7521/bladerunnergame.png)
Three games come to mind: Noctropolis, Bloodnet or Blade Runner? Is it one of those?
It might be... :tongue:. What's your guess?
A cross? A mausoleum? I'd go for Noctropolis.
Blade Runner, or the uuhhh, Tex Murphy?
...And Gribbler continues his guessing spree (almost) unchallenged! :wink:
(just realised myself that I chose a screen-shot with the mausoleum mouse-over -
that wasn't too clever, I admit :tongue:)
YESSSS!!
This one will be a piece of cake for you guys!
[IMGzoom]http://i.imgur.com/y0GKPKY.png[/IMGzoom]
Touché!
First game of all here that I recognise, and supposedly an easy one. I get the feeling I'll be just as bad at this game as the movie one :D.
Congrats Babar! Hit us with your best shot :P
Don't currently have the patience to load and screenshot the game, so off the web, is:
(http://i.imgur.com/LwW1MlO.png)
Ah, nice one Babar! That games was awesome! Subaquatic twist and all that.
Can't guess though, really have to go to sleep or I#llbe wasted tomorrow... :X
I'm pretty sure I saw this one (in some game magazine maybe) but I certainly didn't play it. Help us Tramponline, you're our only hope :smiley:
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.
[imgzoom]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/02/Fish!_Cover.jpg[/imgzoom]
It was all the rage when it came out and even 'Game of the Year' in most computer magazines. Also one of the
most discussed games that year throughout various magazines' hint sections, coz people kept on getting stuck...
OK, I hope Babar doesn't mind that I post the next one alreay to keep the game rolling...(and Gribbler happy! :tongue:)
[imgzoom]http://imageshack.us/a/img825/3883/huckleberryfinn.png[/imgzoom]
Jeez! And I AM old? :) Where do you find those games?? :shocked:
:grin: Hehehe, you've to read the small print in that particular post (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=48054.msg636451819#msg636451819). :wink:
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...
Got screwed by the small print again... eeeh life :-D
Is this even PC? Looks like Cruise for a Corpse on C64 with a little dose of Spy vs Spy :smiley:
You're on the right track, it's C64. :wink:
Additionally: Your first 'guess' is veeery close...
Two characters... And one of them is a Lord. Hmmm
Is this an adaptation of some novel? Agatha Chrisie's Poirot? Naah, he wasn't a Lord...
Not based on a book, but it does 'borrow' from a few (in particular Christie):
[imgzoom]http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/3192/marktwain.png[/imgzoom]
In what way can it be related to Cruise for a corpse? Only that the setting is steamboat? Or does it go deeper?
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.
It's Murder on the Mississippi. I only know of it because some dude wanted to turn the setting into a Maniac Mansion Mania game.
Here's a fresh one, let's not let this die:
(http://i.imgur.com/2g2kQTT.jpg)
Legend of Kyrandia 3: Malcolm's Revenge? I'm pretty sure it's his silhouette.
No :-D
Legend Of Kyrandia 1? :-\
Kyrandia 3 had this ugly 3D Studioish graphics. Must be different part. Crimson already took 1 so I vote Kyrandia 2 just to be safe and cover them all :P
It's a tricky one, that's for sure!
Yep, it's Kyrandia 2 (a cutscene near the end, I believe).
Gribbler is on a ROLL!
I gotta go afk now. Crimson Wizard can you take my turn? We were going head to head :smiley: Show'em what you've got!
Umm, okay.
[imgzoom]https://imageshack.us/scaled/large/823/someadventuregame.png[/imgzoom]
Future Wars
Yes :P
Awesome choice Crimson! Loved that game - stunning graphics for that time (and still are, kind of)...
Sorry for only half a screen-shot. If I'd posted the whole one it wouldn't be much of a challenge.
[imgzoom]http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/1400/aladdina.png[/imgzoom]
Is this one of Twinsen's adventures?
Pshaw, that's some wild conjecture! But what's your inference, sir?
Little Big Adventure?
Yep!
(http://imageshack.us/a/img824/2880/littlebigadventure.png)
Take it away...
An EASY one :)
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/QfBCOWu.png[/imgzoom]
the dig
Yessir :)
the only scene that is not instantly recognisable, but still easy ;)
(http://i.imgur.com/Jt6Y7FA.jpg)
Machinarium?
yep!
My turn (laugh)
[IMGzoom]http://i.imgur.com/Q5iFIQC.png[/IMGzoom]
Blue Force
10 minutes Tramponline. You're getting rusty :P
I was hoping for some Police Quest guesses but you had to spoil the fun! (wtf)
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.)
[imgzoom]http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/9646/darthq.png[/imgzoom]
Lost files of Sherlock Holmes: Case of Serrated Scalpel? One of my favourites by EA.
Spot-on! Both of them were incredibly atmospheric, but I prefer the first one as well.
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!
[IMGzoom]http://i.imgur.com/h0Tbmam.png[/IMGzoom]
Darkseed?
Correct!
Amiga times...
I'll pass my turn Gribbler, will you continue please?
Say no more! :smiley:
[IMGzoom]http://i.imgur.com/VuAOVmw.png[/IMGzoom]
Gone With The Wind: The Movie: The Game?
OK, I admit, you have me stumped, Gribbler!
Following Armageddon's lead...
Indiana Jones 0: The parenting years are over: The Movie: The Game?
Toonstruck?
That rotoscoped train game.... aaaahhhhh. Damn it... What was it called again.
You're thinking of Last Express. I don't think this it it though.
Hint: it was made within Sierra family
And the game is not about trains at all. It is just the scene from the outro, so if you haven't finished it... :smiley:
Heart Of China?
Yeah, pretty sure about it. Heart of China.
Aaand we have a winner! (laugh)
Sweetums! Now riddle me this (it's an easy one)
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/PnTMR9j.png[/imgzoom]
Brain Dead 13
('twas too easy)
Indeed!

Is this text adventure with the text interface removed? :smiley:
The Famous Five: The Graphic Adventure: Deluxe Edition : Episode 3: The Trees of Doom?
Hah, famous five adventures actually do exist but that's not it. :)
It's also not a text adventure although the interface is indeed cut out I think.
The Sinister Girl. (laugh)
Judging by the children's ears it's a fantasy game... At first I thought it's Fable but now I don't know. I'll need a hint on this one.
Not Fable.
Here's one with text.
(http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm18/HandsFree1/screen/guess26.jpg)
Wow... That key is in an awkward place...
David Bowie Shows Off His Keys: The Game?
Certainly looks elvish. Darn I remember seeing this somewhere. Post-90s, or 90s?
Blade Runn...
I said it, okay? Now what?
Blade Runner! La-la-la-la-la-la! It's Blade Runner!
Blade Runner!
Pff, you guys guess litil divil and murder on the Mississippi but not
(http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm18/HandsFree1/screen/Guess27.jpg)
Death Gate?
Yes. 8-)
I had slight suspicions, but the interface was a best hint :).
The next one, it made me start programming my own games on QBasic back in DOS times :)
(http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/6575/dosgirlvampires.jpg)
Just my reaction after waiting whole day for someone to guess that Death Gate game and seeing Crimson Wizard's choice for the next one :smiley:
(http://makegif.com/g9yx.gif) (http://makegif.com/g9yx)
Elvira 0? (laugh)
Barbie and the crazies? That's one seriously messed up looking game.
I see that pic slowed the game down, so here's another screenshot. Not sure how much more clear it will be :-\.
(http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/7510/crookedhouseolddospcgam.png)
But, seriously, don't you see you only need 16 colors to make a game? And people keep asking how much to pay a background artist.
Nope. Still doesn't ring a bell. How many words are there in the title? :)
Okay...

what kind of strange games do you people play?
A cop in pink underwear in a strange dimensioned castle. There are only the swastika flags (or on his underwear) missing to make it even more absurd...
Hahaha good observation, selmiak :) I've played literally hundreds of adventure games and never seen this one. And if I have, I must have quickly forgotten - looks crappy as hell.
It's a weird game, but strangely fun too. The graphics are actually praised in reviews.
Pink Panter?
No, it's not specifically aimed at children.
Alright then, wild guessing time :smiley: Watchmaker?
No, earlier.
Game looks very 1996. Am I correct?
1997
Is it gameplay screenshot or has the interface been removed again? I assume that the character visible is not player's too.
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.
Is it Chronomaster?
Naah... it had visible player character. Right?
Not Chronomaster. This one also has a visible player character, but I think he just went up the stairs.
I'll look for another screen tomorrow if it hasn't been guessed then.
Ark of Time? :undecided:
That's the one. :)
The first line of Ray Ivey's review says it: "This is the worst game that I've totally enjoyed."
See http://www.adventuregamers.com/articles/view/17437

Yes.

I, once again, have no idea - but it reminds me of that scene in Kill Bill... Wiggle your big toe...

Wacky adventure game in a fantasy world.
This thread is making me realise just how many adventure games there are that I've never played!
Based on your clue I'd guess maybe Simon the Sorcerer? Sadly I've never got round to playing it. :(
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.
A game with no dialogue and a surreal journey from a coffin to a cave? This is a game I want to play.
HINT: Four years after this game the same studio made Tomb Raider.

Sure is!
Tomb Raider 0: the early years?

Can you give a hint?
It's Druuna.
Quote from: HandsFree on Thu 25/04/2013 18:14:16
It's Druuna.
I just read about this, the comic actually has a pretty good sf story behind it.
HandsFree, if it's in fact Druuna I think you can post next screenshot.
Quote from: Anian on Thu 25/04/2013 21:19:12
I just read about this, the comic actually has a pretty good sf story behind it.
It's certainly got
something behind it . . .
Let's make a game based on a highly pornographic comic book, but leave out all the pornography!
Druuna, the comic, does have oodles of European sci-fi weirdness to it, but it's also wall-to-wall genitals. The game is just six CDs of balls.
Man, I miss Cryo.
I miss Cryo from when they were good.
...erm, that is, their very first game. :D
Druuna: Morbis Gravis is correct, bring on the next game!
Hey guys! I've just released my game, it's called The Bum. Head over to Completed Games Announcements for the premiere party! (laugh)
And bring the next game, HandsFree! :smiley:
Since HandsFree is taking awhile I thought I'd steal his turn for a moment with a wonderful game.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5479044/%21%21%21hurday.png)
Bum Runner?
I'm clueless. I'm pretty sure I've never seen this one. What year is it? 1992?
Yes, The Bum's looking good. Congrats on releasing it. 8-)
Completely unrelated:
(http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm18/HandsFree1/screen/Guess28.jpg)
Is this Reah?
Not too far off, but no.
Schizm 1 or 2?
(wrong)
I thought for a second it was from The Book of Unwritten Tales, but it doesn't look familiar enough. :-\
Uru?
I've just thought that myself. Uru, or some other Myst-type game.
The Man Hole?
You could say it's a Myst-style game. But not Uru (or Manhole).
Is this First or Third Person Perspecive type of game?
First person.
ooh wait a minute... this isn't from Journey to the Moon is it?
Indeed it's not Journey to the Moon.
It's based on a short story. But although the game is released with two names neither of them is the name of the story.
Mysterious Island?
Lighthouse?
No and no. :(
(http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm18/HandsFree1/screen/Guess28b.jpg)
Riven?
raisin?
It's Myst-like, but not an actual Myst game.
(http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm18/HandsFree1/screen/Guess28c.jpg)
Most Myst-like games that went 3D (not prerendered) tend to look the same because technology at that time clearly crippled the artistic vision (take Shizm 2 or Uru). So hats off to anyone who knows the anwser :)
p.s. cool thread
Even most prerendered stuff looked bad, which is why I completely skipped over all these games. :P
There were few gems like Riven, Zork Nemesis and Zork Grand Inquisitor. But then there were also Cryo games with their stiff, plastic characters >.<.
I think I recognize the landscapes. Is it Sentinel?
Red Sonja?

Henry Jones Senior and the Fate of Nursing Home?
I've never seen this one before, although I'll bet I can safely say that's a dog. (laugh)
EDIT: I know what it is now, but I cheated, so I'm not going to say.
Hint: It's a German game by a German game company, based on a story by a well-known German writer.
I think you have to give us some hits, man :smiley:
I suppose it's "Der Schatz im Silbersee" (or translated "Treasure of Silver Lake") after a book by
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...
[imgzoom]http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/3523/disciple.png[/imgzoom]
Due to the "worshiping computer games" thing I'm guessing it's Neuromancer or some other cyber-thingy game, although I can't be sure as I've never played the game myself.
Not bad, Surplusguy, not bad at all! It's Neuromancer. Your go...
Trampoline, you were right :D
OK, this next one should be easy. I just hope it qualifies. It is a point and click adventure game, so it should count.

It really IS a DOS adventure game.

OK, since no one new was able to guess the name by the 1st screenshot
(which was a bit hard to do, I admit), here's your second change:

No, it's "the scoop", I recognize the guy :)

I'll relieve you of your turn, ThreeOhFour! It's âðýøÃ'‚ð øûø ÃÅ"þÃ'â,¬Ã'Âúþõ ßÃ'Æ'Ã'‚õÃ'ˆÃµÃ'ÂÃ'‚òøõ, or Tanita: Plasticine Dream, as you would probably call it. :)
Guessing all these obscure games is all well and good (and quite impressive, to be honest), but how about something a little more challenging, eh? Guess these 4 in correct order! :cheesy:

Spoiler
Battlefield 3, Spec Ops The Line, MoH Warfighter, either MW3 or Black Ops 2? I'm only sure about (3) though., that's definitely Warfighter
Khris, yep, those are correct! Well done, your turn! :)
Haha, you cheeky Russian, Ilyich! :D

Clue clue clue clue clue clue clue clue clue clue clue...
Clue you say? But of course: it's a nearly 18 year old niche Polish adventure game. :-D
I was hoping for older Poles to come out of the forums shadow for this one :smiley:
Come on! I know you're out there!
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:

Well, this one is well known, because
I recognize the visuals. It's either
Spoiler
Shivers
or
Spoiler
the sequel Shivers II: Harvest of Souls.
But if someone could determine which they'll get the turn.
Yes, one of the guesses is correct...
Well, I finished Shivers 1 years ago but I don't recognize this one so I guess it's Shivers 2.
Err, actually it's the Giant Eagle nest in the Strange Beasts room from the first Shivers.
So that makes it who's turn? :-\
I believe it is my turn by default.
Does anyone remember this oldie?
(http://imageshack.us/a/img153/8730/castlegf.png)
YES!!! :cheesy: I remember that one!
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...
edit: That's so AWESOME!! Still can't believe it! (Sorry for raving - I'm' having kind of a moment here!! :tongue:)
THIS game is how I got into computers in the first place! (Around later that year I got my C-64) WOW!
IT IS AN ADVENTURE???!!!
It is Castle Adventure!
Correctamundo! Yes, it's the classic adventure game from 1985. Ah, those were the days!
Your turn..
Woo hoo! Okay, I don't have access to many resources right now, so it's going to have to be an old savegame thumbnail from my hard drive:

Generally speaking, it's in the genre of AWESOME!

Ahhh, I see, a connoisseur of the good stuff in life!

I am. Literally right now!
('Curse of Enchantia'(!!! :angry:), that explains why I missed the other one: I hated that game from the bottom of my heart, it felt like stuffing quite beautiful visuals with nonsensical & irritating fluff! Uhh, how I despised that game... :tongue:)

At first I thought "Conquests of the Longbow", but the graphics weren't that elaborate and I couldn't think of any scene
that comes close to this. I'm intrigued!!
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.
For some reason I thought it was an Amber chronicles game (checked on MobyGames, there's just an 1985. game, so the graphics are not even close). Really should finish reading those books...
Ringworld?
Yes sir! Ringworld: Revenge of the Patriarch.

The thread starter's first post is what lead me to believe it was focused on adventure games. Quote: "Just came up with this idea last night! Similar to the movie thread, but this time with adventure game screenshots"
Oh, well someone else posted a non-adventure game screen.
And that was a red herring my shot is from an adventure game, with gun shooty flashbacks. :D

That is Tunnel Rats.

That is definitely Undying. CW, your turn :)

Nope! And it's the screenshot that is obscure. The game is well known.
Cruise for a Corpse?
Grim Fandango?
Darn, same thought Crimson! Too late... :tongue:
Edit: Then I'll say Doube Fine's 'Grim Fandango 2' - you know, the one there haven't been any rumours about at all!
I believe there was a capsizing ship in one of Tunguska games but this looks older. 1997 or 1998?
Cruise for a Dango?
Crimson Wizard is correct.
Something reminded me of the next game today. Back in 90-ies it failed to run properly at some times because my comp did not have enough memory, so I never finished it. DOS times :).

This is an action adventure about a guy having his bike stolen. You need to find all parts and buy concert tickets to invite your future girlfriend. The timelimit is so unforgiving that I actually never managed to beat it on a 16 bit system. This screenshot is from the speccy version.
Ladri di Biciclette?
hehe, nope. Bike as in Motor-Bike.
A game where you pick up hookers in a seedy part of town? Quick! Someone guess the name of this thing so I can find a torrent support my local used game shop. :=
Moonwalker? Nahh, can't be...
Does the game have a prequel or sequel?
A little bit of googling and we have a result:
Sidewalk!
yup! A fun little game with lots of political incorrectness :)
(http://i.imgur.com/oB5s2Or.jpg)
Could it be "Make your own point n' click as a Second Life Machinima" ?
No, but it's a pretty awful game. I actually owned it because I won it at a Mittens.

Terrific news, I really loved that game and it's quirky text-to-speech feature - even though it could be completed in less than 10 minutes if you knew the suspect.
Billbis, you're next
So it was Le Manoir de Mortevielle (I have no idea of the english title).

Yes, it's an adventure game
Spycraft: The Great Game - the game title that risked a thousand snarky review bylines!
Yes! I would never dare to call a game this way, unless it is a joke.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Jvgbe9Kx0U (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Jvgbe9Kx0U)
Well, iirc, it was referring to the spy trade as "the great game".
I'll put something up tomorrow - it'll be hard to beat the obscurities going on here!
Sorry this took me a while. Border removed:

Not just some Dizzy.. It's Fantastic Dizzy!
I mean.. Fantasy World Dizzy!! (There's a dragon in a mine shaft in both those games ).
Next!

Yeah.. the helmet was a dead giveaway.

Arcanum?
Nope. Its a point and click adventure game.
Hell?
Bureau 13? I even bought an original cd of that game (from bargain bin, way long ago), never finished though, rather hard game. but actually had a lot of potential.

Hell?
Being in a women's locker room is hell? Weirdo. :grin:
Hell as in Hell: A Cyberpunk Thriller :smiley:
But Bureau 13 was my second guess. Both games had similiar graphics.
Bureau 13 indeed. Hell was more surreal as i recall.

The Nomad Soul is correct of course :smiley:

If you don't recognize it, consider yourself lucky. It was one I really regretted buying.
Don't know what it is but looks crappy :smiley:
Jurassic Park Interactive?
@Gribbler - It had a great trailer. That's why I bought it. The game wasn't nearly as good.
@Kconan - Nope.
Edit: Possible hint - A Windows 3.x game.

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.

Huzzah! That game stunk.
Anyway, here's one from one of my all time favorites.
(http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/vv95/tubbabubba12/zuppp_zps7f2abafd.jpg)
Not sure.. Could it be zork nemesis?
@monkey424 sorry, no dice
It's tough to find screenshots w/o the hud (which totally gives it away).
Here's a hint: This game was marketed primarily to girls (not really sure why)
One of the Nancy Drew games? Curse of Blackmoor Manor? (That's the only ND game I've actually played... not sure if that screen looks familiar or not.)
Right series, but wrong game!
There are like 20 something of them:) What alse is there? Hmmm, Secret of the Old Clock?
How about The Captive Curse?
Nope!
I'll give you guys one more hint.

Sorry it's blurry, but the graphics aren't great in the first place.
Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall?
Nope...
EDIT: Although that is a good game. It's available for free download for play in DOSBox here. (http://www.elderscrolls.com/daggerfall/)
Lure Of The Temptress?
Maybe narrow it down a little. Is this adventure game or RPG?
Adventure game, but not so much point and click as walk-up-to-something-and-press-a-button-to-interact-with-it.
Here's a less blurry shot:
[imgzoom]http://s8.postimg.org/e7dm2q6k5/snapshot2.jpg[/imgzoom]
Amerzone?
Amnesia?
Sorry, none of these :P
Here's a hint- it's played on a console.
DOOM?
or
House of the Dead?
Quote from: Surplusguy on Sat 22/06/2013 03:03:24
Sorry, none of these :P
Realms Of The Haunting? It looks familiar...
OK, maybe I chose too obscure a game :-\
Just for the sake of not slowing down the thread, here's one last hint- the console is the Nintendo 64.
Maybe the only adventure game for the N64.
NAH! I GIVE UP !!
Quote from: Surplusguyhere's one last hint- the console is the Nintendo 64.
Well, I know next to nothing about retro console gaming so this won't be of much help to me. :smiley:
Maybe choose a more telltale screenshot.
Ocarina Of Time?
OK, just so one of you can guess it... it is the sequel to Shadowgate. It should be pretty obvious what its name is. :P
Beyond Shadowgate
Going to assume that I'm correct on that one. Sooo.....Next!

leather goddesses of phobos 2 ?
it had nice "it came from the desert" atmosphere.
Quote from: kconan on Sun 23/06/2013 17:46:34
Beyond Shadowgate
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.
Quote from: Iceboty V7000a on Mon 24/06/2013 02:55:40

Oops, sorry...I'll wait for confirmation in the future before taking a turn.
Anyway, janleht was right on Leather Goddess of Phobos 2.
Iceboty was technically right but I'm sluggish in replying so janleht, it's your turn :-D
Wow, after watching a few Shadowgate 64 vids, I must say that the game is oddly impressive looking. Albeit the interface is massively outdated, it still has some charm to it.

Is it Lone Eagle: Colombian Encounter? I hope so...
It sure is!
Woohooo! now it's my turn. Lets enjoy some oldskool game, shall we?

Holy you're good. Yup. I loved that game when I was younger.
Some time ago I snatched Black Dahlia on UK eBay for 99 pences. (nod) First edition, big box. With that beautiful sticker "8 cd-roms extravaganza". (laugh)
Anyway, here's the next one:

Yup, also known as "Ween". Your turn.
Wow, I was actually right.
Ok, I didn't really have one in mind, so here's a throwaway.
[imgzoom]http://s23.postimg.org/5vb3r147v/image.jpg[/imgzoom]
Well... The name of this game had been mentioned before, but was a mistake as that was another game in the same series. Incidentally the abbreviation of this game is... B.S.
Also you can punch and die a lot.
Yeah, that's why I said it. You're up, Iceboty!
In case someone couldn't figure it out, that last one was Beyond Shadowgate for the TG16.
This should be easy:

Yes. Your turn.

The Secret Of Monkey Island: Special Edition!
Yes and no :smiley: This is of course The Secret of Monkey Island but not special edition. This screenshot comes from the very back cover of SoMI first edition from 1990 :-D But you're up next, of course.
Dammit, I knew that close-up got cut from the original so I was trying to be clever.
Okay, probably an easy one but you also have to name the connection to the previous one:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/ox1RO7w.jpg[/imgzoom]
[main character redacted]
Is it Freddy Pharkist (or whatever his name should be spelled)?
No no, it looks too good to be Freddy Pharkas. I dunno, some Fenimore Fillmore maybe?
Huh, thought you guys would nail this immediately.
Hint: the connection is to the specific shot Gribbler chose, not the game as a whole.
Three skulls of the Toltecs?
It's toonstruck 2. But I'm not sure what the connection is. 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.
It was never released. There are still some plans to do so, but none have followed through yet.
Quote from: monkey424 on Sun 30/06/2013 00:44:26
made but not included in the first 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 :(
Your go, monkey!

Parrot Sketch The Game (laugh)
bbX1138 - no
and Gribbler - no
I'll give you a clue.. it's a fake moustache!
Sherlock Holmes The Case of Rose Tattoo?
Correct. Good work Gribbler. You certainly know your stuff. And i must agree, Sherlock (in disguise) does look a lot like John Cleese in this sketch.. scene.
Clever screenshot from a Holmes game and with a Holmes character but looking totally different. Here's next one:
(http://i.imgur.com/5vx9wBe.jpg)
I kind of cheated with my pic. It's more of an art from the game than actual screenshot. Here's a proper screenshot of this character from the game's cutscene.
[IMGzoom]http://i.imgur.com/Ynzm50x.jpg[/IMGzoom]
Hint: this creature is called... Gribbler. (nod)
It comes from a very well known adventure game with female protagonist.
It is of course Dreamfall - The Longest Journey, which I've never had the fortune of owning. My friend has the XBox version, and has told me about the "Gribbler." Thank you for giving me nightmares, Gribbler. Both of you.
Here's the next one:
[imgzoom]http://s9.postimg.org/s066bjdwf/snap.png[/imgzoom]
Better change your screenshot. I think the game's name is written directly right on it...
Ummm... Uninvited? 8-)
---edit: stupid browser cache. Sorry
It's "That Is Physically Impossible" by Lucasarts.
The name is written on it the whole game. I wanted to see if anyone would catch it :P
Gribbler said it but I wish bbX was right!

Correct!

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).

Your turn.
(https://imageshack.com/a/img541/4261/pvw5.png)
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).
I'm pretty sure I played it... or seen it somewhere but... no, doesn't ring a bell.
(https://imageshack.com/a/img14/4073/1f72.png)
Another from the game.
Space Junk?
Nope. "Space" is part (or stem) of one of the words in the title though. Also, I believe it is one of the first adventure games to come on CD-ROM.
Isn't that the first "newer one" by some famous infocom member?
No, its not "The Space Bar".
Another shot:
(http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/1456/17824014784e55ce455az.jpg)
I always thought 7th Guest was the first CD-ROM adventure game.
It probably is the first...This one was early though. I feel like I'm holding up the game with a toughie so I'll give another big hint: There is a spaceship named "Warlock".
Quote from: kconan on Wed 10/07/2013 16:09:54

I dunno... it looks too good for one of the Spellcasting games.
it's getting warmer.. :)
It is Spellcasting? :) Must be 301 then.
Nope - no Spellcasting. But you're looking in the right corner.
Companions of Xanth?
Nope. But maybe the GUI rings a bell.
The press loved this game, but at the time my English was even worse than today so with all that text it was too hard for me.

Eric the Unready?
I was thinking that at first, but I didn't recall a television.
Me too, but I'm sure it's a GUI from this game.
Death Gate?
Now you're right - it's Eric the unready. Unfortunately I haven't finished it back then due to the lack of my english skills, so I had to rely on MobyGames about the Wizard.
Anyway - Gribbler's next

I've already obscured the character and removed the interface, but it should be easy.
Legend of Kyrandia: Book One, Timbermist Woods (if memory serves), under Brandon's Treehouse. Amiga port, if I'm not mistaken.
I think the graphics of the Amiaga port and the PC port are virtually identical...
Anyway, your turn.
Not to somebody who's in love with the game to the point of unhealthy obsession!

Yes indeed.

Hint #1 - it's a late Amiga title
I had Amiga for many years but I don't recognize this game 8-0
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).
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. :)
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 :)

Quote from: abstauberplaying Indy 4 and MI2 would have been a disk swapping nightmare
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.
:-\

Sorry for the delay, of course Scavenger is right!
@Gribbler I have to admit that I also had my "computer scientist moments" with the Amiga :D
Well, time to share something obscure for y'all.
[imgzoom]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/50882197/namethatgame.PNG[/imgzoom]
Could this be a Windows 3.x game?
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)
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.
--edit:
oh well, I try to solve it:
Is it Dare to Dream?
It seems you're correct, abstauber. I think you can safely post a new screensot without Scavenger's confirmation.
Okay, lets start this week with something easy:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/Y6Tz0XY.gif[/imgzoom]
Labyrinth: The Computer Game
I like how the title specifies "Computer Game".
My first thought when I saw the screenshot was: "Wait a minute! Blackwell games are remakes???" (laugh)
Kconan is right! Please provide the next fix :)
I was debating an Atari 8-bit game since I've seen some Amiga stuff in the thread, but I'll go with this instead:
(http://imageshack.com/a/img818/6860/0yyl.png)
Cosmology of Kyoto?
Genghis goes west?
Toilet Samurai Sage?
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/ZSgGPk2.png[/imgzoom]
Eternam!
Awesome game btw.
I knew you'd guess in 3 seconds, but the screenie was too fun not to use. :) Yeah, lovely game.
Yeah, some epic dialogs are going on there :D
Now from cats to dogs:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/wzmOinJ.png[/imgzoom]
Haha, I actually consdered posting this! It's Ooze: Creepy Nites.
(http://i.imgur.com/wtIyOQV.png)
Hahah! I posted this a while back in this thread, didn't I? That is Fish!
Perhaps I should read the entire thread. :) Correct.
Nice little game, that.
I'm scraping the bottom of my barrel of obscurity here, hopefully this won't be too easy:
(http://i.imgur.com/Zc2rfwI.png)
Stripped of its GUI and title.
Cactus Adventure?
Okay, I made that one up. I think.
That sounds like it'd be pretty boring :D.
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.
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?
Quote from: abstauber on Tue 23/07/2013 09:10:48
@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.
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:
(http://i.imgur.com/0FwpS8q.png)
I'm guessing it's a game somewhere from 1996 to 2000.
Nope! You're looking too far ahead with your guess.
I think it's time for more revealing screenshots...
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).
Eco-Saurus?? Never heard of it before... :)
Hahaha, wow, I was just about to post the name, as I literally had to bruteforce a couple of abandonware sites to find out what it was... :D but I'm glad we've dealt with this one anyway.
hehe I just googled "DOS Skatehenge" :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.
Anyway just post a new screenie please :o
nah, neither of us did. Babar won and Google placed second ;)

Quote from: Crimson WizardFirst adventure game for Win 3.11?
You're correct there, though it's probably not true. This game didn't come out until the very late in Win3.1's life cycle!
Sorry, I'm still clueless (a prove, that I never played it)
Was this a boxed commercial game or a shareware release?
It was a shareware release. A very obscure one! But one I found on a disk one day and has haunted me ever since.

Perhaps this piece of narcissism will jog someone's memory?

Nope, and nope! You're getting closer!

CaptainD is next.
Yay, I finally got one!! (I did know Zak but someone else got there first.)
Anyway, here's a new one... not really sure how easy / difficult it will be. I'm going back to a game I really loved back on the ZX Spectrum many years ago... not an adventure game.

I never got to do anything relevant in the game...
Ancient China...Nope
It's Tai Pan?
Miguel has it! It was indeed Taipan by the awesome Ocean Software (not to be confused with the game of the same name that came out for the Apple II).
Fun fact for post-8-bit gamers: on the Speccy tape deck, this game took a full 5 minutes to load!
You're up Miguel!
Yeah, it was a cool game for the time, you could sail from island to island and smuggle stuff...
Anyway, guess this one:

F-15 Strike Eagle III? :D
A320 Airbus?
I recall the F-15 Strike Eagle games had huge 200ish page game manuals.
A320 Airbus
(He said, feigning confidence)
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
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.

Oh God, why?

Babar is right. It is Westwood's Young Merlin, which I loved and hated at the same time.
But it was so pretty and sparkly and unique for the SNES!
I don't THINK this has been posted before, but it is probably a lot easier than the previous game I had everyone guessing:

No, that was a blind guess :). I still don't know which game this is.
I'm only (slightly) familiar with the Spectrum version which obviously looks a little... different! - but from what's just been said I'd have to guess at The Hobbit?
It looks like an Amiga game I had. It involved a party and a mountain to climb. It had verbs, inventory, spells...
Can't remember the name.
bible adventures?
Hahaha...no Bible Adventures, and no Hobbit.
Miguel might have it, considering it has everything he just said. If only he could remember the name!
Talespin?
Well, it looks like one of them "Forgotten Realms" games, or game using similar engine UI.
E: by "UI" I mean the picture shape and size.

I'm not sure posting another screenshot would help, because they're pretty much all the same... so I'll give it another day and if no-one gets it, spill the beans and try another one.
Okay one final hint...
The game has a one-word title and was released by a French game publisher.
I was curious so I went and googled the image - never heard of it nor seen the game.

Ah, yes. I remember that game.
It was le merde.
Ah well, it was released by Loricels and simply called Disc.
Okay this one should be easy (I think) - screenshot from the Atari ST version, this game was popular on 8-bit and 16-bit systems, and a remake was made some years ago updating the game concept for modern PCs.

YES! One of my all-time favourite games. Lost many hours of my youth to it...
I loved Pirates as a kid, and later Pirates Gold. Another early exploration game that I played like crazy was Seven Cities of Gold.
Also the map was a pretty good copy protection, I also played this a lot but didn't make much progress until much later.
Next one isn't an adventure game. But it's terrible ;-D
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/MpTPnvI.png[/imgzoom]
I think it's a circus game on the ST/Amiga, but I can't think of the name! Um... Fiendish Freddy?
Yep, Fiendish Freddy's Big Top O' Fun.

No.
Hint: It's a PC game.
Is it Crime Wave?
(http://s24.postimg.org/q96ifyxsl/crime.jpg)
I heard of it through a "Worst PC Game Covers" article.
If I'm not confusing it with another from that 90s "kill the drug dealers" actioner genre, that one was popular in the arcades.
I seem to remember a game called Narcs...?
There was also "Manhattan Dealers" I think, but to my memory it looked nothing at all like that.
Superplusguy got it.
Yes, it is that close brother of Mean Street.
Sorry, totally forgot I posted here.
Anyway, normal adventure game

It's definitely Police Quest 3.
No no, PQ3 had better graphics. This PQ2 screenshot looks very familiar http://www.mobygames.com/game/amiga/police-quest-2-the-vengeance/screenshots/gameShotId,336683/

Raspberry Jam Sleepover Party?
Serious, that looks revolting. Looks a bit like Final Fight or something along those lines, but with much more gore. Yuk.
Yep, it is a very brutal game. A scrolling beat 'em up.
The Adventures of Heinous McHeinousHeinous: The School Zone Beatdown?
I love how casual and indifferent everyone is to the carnage outside the window.
My guess: Heinous McHeinousHeinous 2
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.

Is it Franko?
The car in the game was Fiat 126P.
Keeping it violent, here is an early NES game:

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.
I'm just lazy :grin: atm, so let us wait for Gribbler's verification until tomorrow, and I'll post a new one.
Sorry for the delay, kconan got it right. It's Franko the Crazy Revenge.
Oh. A quick one then.

I got it in PC Player (french edition).
I didn't come for a long time.
Apparently, we don't stick to point'n click any more.
Oh. I have to check that it has an alternate title. I only knew that it was called Savage Warriors.
Yes, you are correct. Your turn now.
Thanks.
Now, a sweet little game more compelling than many AAA titles :

No idea. Looks like interactive fiction/a visual novel...
Birds of Wisdom? - like the song 'Let it Be' from the Beatles?

If the developers of Source engine read that guess they'd probably curl into a corner and cry. :)
Was this was released in the mid-90s?
Yes... very much exactly in mid-90s.
Is this adventure game or PRG?
Dink Smallwood maybe?
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.)
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.
Tintin on acid.
Bill and Ted's low-rez adventure.
Isometric: The failure.
All three are correct. Congratulations! You're up next!
I'd like to thank my mummy and daddy and Jesus for this great achievement.

Haha, hell no, Veil of Darkness had gorgeous pixel art (http://www.mobygames.com/game/veil-of-darkness/screenshots).
(I hope that didn't sound patronizing.)
(laugh) Not at all - The last time I played it was 1994, so I don;t feel too bad about not remembering it too clearly :D
Could you post another screenshot or give a small hint?
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.

Not just the franchise, but specifically which game?
Barn Runner: The Prick Who Came In From The Cold :D. Don't remember the number in series though.

Is this an old Cryo game?
No.
Hint, please.
Chamber of the Sci-Mutant Priestess aka Kult?
Finally someone got it! Good work, selmiak :)
Hell yeah. :)

Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP!
correct!
Should be pretty easy:

Conquests of Camelot?
Yup! Heh..Hiding the king behind the pillar didn't seem to make too much of a difference.
I recognized it because I was browsing through the resource file looking for something a while ago :)
Next:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/M0QN0iu.gif[/imgzoom]
Phantasmagoria?
No! :)
The 11th Hour?
No, I guess I'll give a hint. I believe it was originally a CD-i title, but was later ported to DOS.
The Dame Was Loaded?
Nah... It's Voyeur, right?
Correct Gribbler, Voyeur it is!
[IMGzoom]http://i.imgur.com/bVWLV1m.jpg[/IMGzoom]
QFG2?
Nope but you're getting close.
HINT: the game came with paper nautical map.
Code-Name: Iceman?
Yes!

DURRR
Broken Sword: The Shwardifiss of Yore?
I suppose some HALP is in order
(http://i.imgur.com/7aZbfZC.png)
That's a 7th Guest cursor for sure.
They do look very similar, but it's not 7th guest.
This is bugging me... I'm sure I recognise that bear!!
Jewels of the Oracle?
Shivers?
I KNOW I played this game but I just can't remember the title. Most irritating thing. :-/
The hand mousecursor is from Monty the Komodo Dragon!
Maybe post main title screen with some letters blackened out, like in a hangman :)
Sam & Max - Scaring Halloween?
It's Clandestiny.
Hooray for HandsFree!!
Good job! If only we had googled for Trilobyte's lesser known product... (laugh)
Was waiting for confirmation but forgot...
Anyway

Is it skullmonkeys?
No, it's an adventure game.
What's going on with this thread? It disappeared for a while.
No one is able to guess HandsFree's game I suppose? I must admit I feel like it's partly my fault because I accidentally totally won this game tremendously slowed down the game's pace with my obscure shot.
Not sure what happened there. Tread was gone and reappeared again?

FYI, our beloved AGA messed up the forums a bit while doing some experiments in manually editing the database, in which threads being posted to during that happened disappeared. These threads could be rescued as long as you are able to find their urls and then add a new post to them.

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. Which brings us to that you're still utterly wrong about Gray Matter though. ^_^
For some reason I am thinking about Eco Quest.

No need to be sorry at all, I perfectly understand. Secret of Monkey Island is that very special game for me and I'm sure there's someone somewhere who hates that game. In some awkward and broken parallel universe perhaps (laugh)
May be very easy... or not.

Murder Club?
Quickly! Give hint before this thread dies! :)
As the starter of the thread I think Gribbler should go or nominate someone to go if no clue or answer has been posted by tomorrow.
Not Murder Club, I'm afraid.
More clues, then? Ok...
It's a freeware detective adventure game.
It's part of a 4-game series.
It plays with the keyboard and has a retro feel, though it was released in 2007.
Another image:

I do recognise the screens, but can't remember the name. Was Fedora part of the title?
I think Captain D gets the win. "Fedora Spade"
Fedora Spade is Correct! (nod)

Okay... if you insist.

Gribbler grot it!
Here's a little history of this classic game. (http://www.trs-80.org/asylum/)
User interface has been cut out:
(http://i.imgur.com/yyQ8Vvf.jpg)
HINT: It's Amiga exclusive
If a 16-bit game wasn't released on the ST, it wasn't worth playing. :P (Sigh... quite a few great games never made it to the ST. :cry:)
Actually, it was on Atari ST, too. Just not on PC.
You said Amiga Exclusive! You lied! How can we ever trust what you say ever again?!?!?!?! How do we know this is even a game? Maybe you just drew it to fool us! Infamy!
Er... still no idea though I'm afraid. The graphic style kinda remind me of The Untouchables but it's clearly not that. Did they ever make a game of Beau Geste?!?!
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
This a scrolling shooter, released in 1992. Apart frm shooting enemies player could slit their throats if approached undetected. I played it extensivly as a kid.
Doesn't sound like my sort of game. Beyond generic guesses like Commando etc I really have no idea.
Come on... we can't be the only people here who lived through the 16-bit era?!?! 8-)
Hmm... was Contra around that time?
According to mobygames database, Contra was released four years earlier, in 1988. Here's a screenshot with user interface:
(http://i.imgur.com/niXSWTK.png)
Hmm... was this game released by Microprose?
Gah, I remember this throat-slitting simulator existing, but I can't remember its name. Is it Green Beret? It's something generic like that, I think.
Quote from: CaptainDHmm... was this game released by Microprose?
Nope.
Quote from: Ben XI can't remember its name. Is it Green Beret? It's something generic like that, I think.
A sentence "fire is a deadly force of nature" contains all the words of game's title. (laugh)
Is it P.O.W.?
Edit: I missed the clue...
So...Deadly Fire Force?
Green Beret was released in the early 80s I think - I remember it coming out on the Speccy when I was knee-high! (laugh)
Deadly Force?
Deadly Nature? 8-0
Fire Is A? (roll)
kconan is very close :)
Fire force (roll)
Quote from: monkey424Fire force
Yes!
Phew! Thank God for that!

I spent many weeks on that game. Was great fun. Castle of the Winds!
The author released the game for free later, so while it may be a bit of a problem getting it to run on modern computers, I'd still recommend you try it out:
http://lkbm.ecritters.biz/cotw/download.html
Since there's not really much probability that I'm wrong, here is my screenshot. A bit easy, but I'm in a hurry:

Star Trek?
Federation of Free Traders?
Or maybe Space Quest?
None of those. But...I guess you caught on that it involved space?
Quote from: Babar on Wed 13/11/2013 14:50:36
None of those. But...I guess you caught on that it involved space?
It does?!?!?!??!?!
Er...
Purple Saturn Days?
(Or are you saying that "Space" is part of the title? 8-))
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)
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.
Protostar Frontiers or something like that
It seems you're right, festilligamble. It supposed to be easy guess but I never even heard of that game :)

Me neither! :shocked::grin: :shocked:
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.
-
Awesome,, I kept thinking it was Star control related at first it was like SC's weird uncle.
I'll post an easy one, the only game both my parents played back in my Tandy Computer days.
(http://i.imgur.com/iCjvKuT.jpg)
Great, I now have that song repeating in my head from the game.
Some kind of Boulder Dash?
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?).
Digger (to be fair: my wife walked by and said, "That's the game I used to play on the Atari 800!" So... she got it.)

No. This is a static screen...

Spoiler
the surrounding interface was all text... including the description of this scene.
I didn't play text adventures back in the 80s as I did not speak English yet. So I'm clueless on this one.
The Pawn by Magnetic Scrolls.

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.

Flash games are harder to find out, obviously.
Yet, it was elected one of the best freeware adventure games of 2007 (don't google that :P) before "A Tale of Two Kingdoms", "Ben Jordan Case 6" and "Nelly Cootalot: Spoonbeaks Ahoy".
Why, it's Anika's Odyssey. But of course! Oh, silly me ;-D

Clive Barkers Undying?
Nope, though it is a game in the horror genre.
Is it adventure game?
It isn't, though, like similar games, it has simple puzzles. It's also not an FPS.
HINT THE FIRST!...
It's from 2000...no, it's from 2004....or is it?
Not an FPS? So it's not Pathologic?
It looks like the Quake 2 engine to me, so...is it Heretic II?
EDIT: NVM, not an FPS.
Nope to Pathologic and Heretic II. I don't believe this game used a third-party engine.
HINT THE SECOND!
This game was published twice (by different publishers), on two different platforms.
I own both versions!
hmm... something like Legacy of Kain?

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

What can I say, PS1 titles were always a bit dodgy. ;)
"24-Hour Laughathon Resulting In Ruptured Colon Elite Commando Nemesis Storm Chaos Pancreatitis Master?"
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.
Looks like you're correct. Great detective work :)
If LimpingFish doesn't mind, I'll post the next one just to keep things going ;)

America's Next Top Model?
Quote from: CaptainDAmerica's Next Top Model?
HAHAHAHA :D
This one looks pretty much the same so... I dunno... Hellboy 2? :)
Yes, Hellboy: Asylum Seeker/Dogs of the Night was indeed the correct answer!
My guess for the new one?...um...Nightmare Creatures II?
It looks very reminiscant of thief, especially the prison level, uncanny really. But the zombie is wrong.
Is it a Quake engine game?
Well, Frostfalk... don't get too ahead of yourself! :-D

No way, is that thief?
Well, I pulled the screenshot off Gamefaqs, so I can't be completely sure of that particular monster.
But for the purposes of this competition alone, yes, it's Thief! :-D Your turn
Yay! I guess it's a texture mod or something, the zombies were much skinnier and greyish blue in the original.. Anyways!
Here's one :)
EDIT2: There, forgot to change file name!

I've got that one. It's from The Dream Machine. Great choice.
Here's a tricky one for you...where would you find this individual?
(http://i.imgur.com/o6g4R63.png)
Post Mortem?
The Ship. My favourite game, the single player part though.
Yes, the Dream Machine was right, it is a great game. .)
Wow. Nailed it with The Ship. Good one -- thought I could slip that one by you all.
Pootis.

Nope, it's more recent than Arena, but older than Morrowind.

Hints please :) Or other screenie
NO! >:(
(http://i.imgur.com/Ec6tNQB.jpg)
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.
Not Another War game! :tongue:
Allo' Allo': The Adventure Game!;)
No idea what it is, but it certainly looks interesting!
That game really does look interesting. 2nd World War theme and humourous elements, now that's daring. I like it.
One more for Grim: HORROR! As far as I can remember, probably the first game in that genre that I've played.
It scared the bejesus out of me!!

Quote from: cat on Thu 16/01/2014 15:03:03

Yep, that's him alright. :grin: Great help in order to narrow down the game's year of release.
Supposedly the game was available for the PC & Amiga, but
I've never ever seen any other version than the Commodore 64 one - not even in screenshots...
edit: Sorry, didn't see your answer there Gribbler. Dude, are you reading my mind?! 8-0 'Zombi' was my first choice, but then I went with this one instead, since Zombi is a bit plain
colorwise...
All of you are on the right track. The game's not zombie exclusive though...

That's Alf all right... I'm racking my brain trying to think how a game that features Alf can be considered scary! Speaking of Alf, he had his own adventure game back in the day if I remember correctly.

Yep that's me alright! :grin:
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.
Here's the title screen (without the title obviously! :tongue:):

Midwinter! I knew I recognized that skier! Last time I played Midwinter was on the Atari ST.
Yes.. Midwinter is correct.
Darn... I know that skier looked familiar, would only have got it from the second screenie though. Apparently there's a modern update / remake in the works... could be very interesting.

Ok this is not part of the official game thread, and my rddle is only textual -- but I thought it was worth posting it in a thread of connoisseurs. I just post it alongside the official "name the game" discussion.
In what (epic and serious) game does the narrator say this, using the litteral meaning of the word "sphincter"?
"You force the sphincter open with your (...) and pass through"
I'm just too lazy to find something to post at the moment. :grin:

There's a similar 3D game (perhaps it was a make over of this game?), so I guess: Manhattan Chase?
Not Manhattan Chase either.
Is it Chicago 90?
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).

It's Lure Of The Temptress!:)
(I had the pleasure recently of meeting Charles Cecil, the head of Revolution Software, and personally thanked him for that strange yet fascinating game, one of the favourite games of my childhood)
Correct! Congrats, Grim!! :)
cool, isn't lure of the temptress free to play with scummVm for years? Shame, I never played it!
Beneath a Steel Sky is also free. Both great games.
A version of Lure fixed for modern PCs is also available free when you sign up for an account with gog.com. :-D
Never did complete it back on the ol' Atari ST, but had great fun trying. Virtual Theatre was a really new and interesting technique back then, too.

:grin::grin::grin:

I have come to the conclusion that Gribbler is not actually a person, but rather an AI programmed with all the video games ever made.
Or he just has an admin account over at Mobygames ;)
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...

Dear god...

But I don't remember the game.
I recognise the characters too - and the painting oddly enough - but no idea of the game. Can't even be completely sure if that's an 8-bit or 16-bit system. :-[

It has a strong QBasic vibe, but I have no clue what this might be.
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.
Spoiler
The goal of the game is shown in one of the screenshots I posted.
Spoiler
The game had a parser interface and no mouse support.
Spoiler
It was made in a 'game-making' program (way before AGS existed).
Spoiler
Although it was a complete game in itself, it was released as shareware as a kind of demo for a planned sequel.
Spoiler
I don't think the sequel was ever made.
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.
Is it true that it has been pretty much glue sticked together with the assets stolen from various games and movies? By just three guys.

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.
Well, main character looks awfully lot like Ed Norton from The Illusionist. :)
Surprised this one hasn't been done yet, but search doesn't show it...

Armageddon has it. Damn, like I said, I did search for it! Did someone do a cryptic answer or something, because it's definitely not coming up.
Someone post a game. I'm gonna get this one. I know it...
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5479044/%21gaem12.png)
Team Fortress 1?
Had to crop it a bit, but if i didn't, you'd know the game!

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:

Not even close. :)
Hint: It was released last year.
Come on, that game doesn't even exist, you are just making it up! There is no hand-drawn FPS.
Wait, that game is real... Cool.
Ah! sorry Tramponline, i'm a bit of new person around here.
I can't honestly guess that game anyway... hmph
Welcome, Cubefiend!
It's Signal Ops!
Now...everybody guess CubeFiend's pic!
It's Wizard's... something!

nope. Here's hint one: It has three letters.

Indeed it is. Best game of last year. 8-)
QuoteIndeed it is. Best game of last year.
Why I never heard of that game?
Is it 'Zak McKracken'? From the intro scene perhaps?
(http://i.imgur.com/btDWiK3.png)
Or, 'Sam & Max Hit the Road'?
I think it's some obscure flash game. We're never gonna get it...???
Totally missed that hint about the three letters.
You're probably right, Grim.
All I've now is random guessing...FBI? ABC? CIA?
PIT. POX. XOM. Why. Fry. Lie. Zim. LOL.
ZZT or MZX...
Courtesy of Gurok, if I'm correct, pass the next turn to him please. :)
Now that I've seen the original clue, I'm going to guess ZZT.

ZZT or MZX...

yup! It's ZZT!
I knew it all the time, of course...
This one should be easy:
(http://i.imgur.com/ciB09CY.gif)
EDIT: Oh, am I not supposed to post? Forgive me if I was being rude. I didn't realise the thread had split up into two threads.
Well, LimpingFish guessed Armageddon' pic, but Cubefiend posted a new one before that, because his new. Then LimpingFish passed the turn to Cubefiend. Adeel guessed Cubefiend's pic, but then said "Courtesy of Gurok, if I'm correct, pass the next turn to him please". So, it's your turn, really.
Guess my pic then! :D
My retro nose tells me it's Eternam! Is that right?
According to Adeel it's your go.
That's 'Eternam'.
Now post another one...:tongue:
edit: Arrhh, Grim beat me to the punch!
I guess I don't have a retro nose after all. And I thought I was so retro...
You snooze, you lose;)
(http://i.imgur.com/YNR15Qq.png)
Looks like Dishonoured.
Damn right it does.
Your round, OneDollar.
That mission had such a great premise (figure out what colour dress your target is wearing) and such a disappointing answer (ask someone).
Anyway, this should be a lot easier than my last one:

Thanks for explaining, janosbiro. I really didn't have any idea what game was that. Its just that I happened to be chatting with Gurok on IRC at that time, so I asked him. It was his answer all the way, actually. :)
It might be intro from Teen Agent.
Correct!
Quote from: janleht on Thu 27/02/2014 16:05:02
It might be intro from Teen Agent.
Oh... I played Teenagent! I remember when the game was made, I even wrote to Metropolis (the developer) to offer some of my sprites for their future productions (as you do when you're 13 and full of hope).
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;)
I remeber liking Teenagent, it had tough puzzles but not too hard/illogical:)
next:

Syndicate?
QuoteSyndicate?
Damn! Too easy. Syndicate it is.
I believe we had Teenagent a long while back; not that it really matters.
Not only were Syndicate and Syndicate Wars awesome, but they had great intros. 8-)

Even though I didn't know what was going on most of the time.
The Eidolon.
Indeed, The Eidolon it is.
The game in question is rather a hybrid adventure (crossover).

A Dune game maybe? Looks less strategy than adventure I suppose...
I recognize that cursor from somewhere though. It's probably quite obvious but I've forgotten
It's an adventure game.
The only one I can think of the moment that's got the right theme is Al Emmo, but it doesn't look familiar. (wrong)
Maybe it's that Freddie Pharkas game? The one about a pharmacist in wild west?
Quote from: GrimMaybe it's that Freddie Pharkas game? The one about a pharmacist in wild west?
It's not Freddy Pharkas but you got that wild west part right. Keep on guessing :)
hmmmm..... Maybe Fester Mudd?
Nope. It's much older game.
The Secret of Wild West Island :P
The fact that the screenshot shows cross-hairs rather than a cursor is bothering me - I don't remember any game like that. Was this an Amiga title?
It's a Windows/DOS game.
HINT: it has 8-verb GUI.
Oh that's right, I remember that cursor from Zak McKracken...
Still have no idea what the game is, though ;-D
C'mon, how many wild west adventure games are there? :)
I found it with image search. I have heard of the game but never played it. Wondering if anyone will get it...
Gribbler - maybe time for another screenshot?
It's 3 Skulls of the Toltecs.

It's bugging me, because this looks sort of familiar, but I have no idea why. :-\

/me announces Gribbler as Personal Hero
Please share the story of your first "contact" with this game :)
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.
Spoiler
I just also googled "weird video game about taking a shit". And Presswurst was on the first page. :)
hehe, alright :) I'm glad that I didn't post a shot of Horny Wankers (from the same team). Anyway - next time you gather some friends I highly recommend giving Presswurst a chance after a few beers. It's a blast
But I'm still your hero of the day, right? :)
Now someone get this:
[IMGzoom]http://i.imgur.com/EBRDmMD.png[/IMGzoom]
Deja Vu?
Nope.
Silly texture adventure?
It somewhat looks like a localized Japanese title
It's an DOS English game. You could say it's part adventure, part simulation.
Hint: I played it as a kid... in a secrecy :P
From the looks of it, it appears to me some kind of visual erotic novel, which became highly popular in the mid 90s and early 2000s.
You're getting there Adeel. :) And here's the girl:

Outcast - the voxeltastic game I always think of whenever anyone mentions Outlast and then get disappointed when I realise.
Quote from: Ben XOutcast - the voxeltastic game I always think of whenever anyone mentions Outlast and then get disappointed when I realise.
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.

Shoelace Quest!

Ben there, Ate that! ?
Duzz Quest??
On a sidenote - you can even buy Lenny Moore's Outcast Soundtrack on iTunes.
Is it a game you worked on isn't it, Ben?
The graphics (with those black lines, like an hand-drawn-pic) is like: "Ben There, Dan That" or "time Gentlemen"... for sure not UNGA needs MUMBA :D
People are certainly very close! Would someone like to make an official guess with a single game's full title?
Ben There, Dan That! Special Edition & Time Gentlemen, Please! bundle for £3 ?
Ok so let's chose one....
Ben There, Dan That!
Hmm. I bought the special edition and don't remember any fat belly, I should've guessed it anyway though.
But then again, when I think about it, I never played the special edition for very long.
No one has yet guessed the correct single game! It is not Ben There, Dan That! (Special Edition or no).
Time Gentlemen, Please!
Correct!
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/wkPX3Kd.jpg[/imgzoom]

I thought this game was semi-well known, maybe not. OK, hint time:
Spoiler
It's a SNES/Super Famicom game.
Spoiler
It was only released in Japan, but it got a fan translation several years later.
Spoiler
It's a remake of a Famicom game.
Spoiler
It's the 2nd part of a series of games, but is actually a prequel to the original game's story.
Still don't know the game, but just like CaptainD is intrigued... I WANT a think verb in one of my games!
I know next to nothing about old SNES games, I never had that console. But using my extraordinary deductive skills (and your hints :) ) I think it's one of Famicom Tantei Club games.
...maybe? Any idea which one?
Part II
Cyber Knight 2 ? :D
Correct, it's Famicom Tantei Club Part II: Ushiro ni Tatsu ShÅ Âjo 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.
Here you go:

That's Apollo Justice, part of the Phoenix Wright series!
Correct!
Here's an easy one.
(http://i.imgur.com/ttIpgOS.png)
It's the old uncomplete Amiga game "Limbo of the Lost"... but pretty sure never released as full game :/
You call an unreleased A1200/CD32 game easy? I would have never guessed that and I wasted lots of hours/days/years in front of commodore's electronics :tongue:
It's not easy at all. (laugh)
I know pretty much Amiga games because I use to spend (read waste) a lot of time on the site "Hall Of Light" a wonderful Amiga-Games-Database and I know that game only because I saw it there.
(laugh)
Can I go? (suppose yes).
This is really easy:
(http://imageshack.com/a/img837/6483/3ihk.jpg)
That's creatures on C64
Yep! Exacly c64 version!
hooray
btw. Creatures 2 is one of the most impressive games I've ever played on the C64 - almost like a 16bit game.
but now back to a few bits less :)

Pancake on the good ol' game and watch?
almost
At least Nintendo didn't call it Pancake ;)
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"

Also this game is named 'Chef', so Gribbler - you're next once again.

My first thought? Eeeeew! :)
My 33th thought: Why is the toungue a different pink than the leaf background and why are there 4 blue pixels in his mouth. Without these it would be a good 8 color palette but this adds up to 10. Strange. Oh, and it looks ugly and I have no idea how the game is called.
and I swear the game isn't called "I just made it up in MS Paint and was late for April 1st", anyone who guesses what platform this is on gets bonus points in heaven.
Isn't it like one of the very first Sierra Tandy creations or something? I'm pretty sure I've seen this image somewhere before...
yeah, this screen looks pretty familiar. I first thought it would be Sinbad - Throne of the Falcon... but actually I'm clueless.

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.

Okay, I had no idea what game this is, and as it seems others don't know either... I cheated, and googled to the solution...

pff.. like how you discovered a certain defecation sim :P
Quote from: abstauberpff.. like how you discovered a certain defecation sim
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
:-\
very difficult this time (laugh)
So... What's happens now? who's next?
EDIT: .. oh I saw you edited!!!!! so we have to "name" yet!
Well, if nobody else (who hasn't peeked at the answer) would hazard a guess, I think the turn should just pass to Cassiebsg.
Spoiler
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.
Ah! That explains why...
Spoiler
...the leopard looks like from South America, and the soldiers look like from Africa... :D (hope that IS why).
If no one objects, then I'll post the next game picture (but I'll hide it, in case anyone does ;) )...
I spent countless hours playing this one with my brother. ;)

Defender
Nope... starts with a K... ;)

Nor me. :-\
Hints:
1982
ZX Spectrum 48K
Based on an arcade coin-op game: Scramble
Starts with K? So it's not Ground Attack?
Kamikaze
janosbiro got it. (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/Smileys/AGS/smiley16_laughing.gif)
1982? ... I was too Young :( (4 years old)
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!
Ok, what about this one? Very easy...
(http://i.imgur.com/pLwxhYE.jpg)
wikileaks the game?
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.
Hints please :)
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.
Hidden Agenda?
Exactly.
(http://i.imgur.com/UFc7Yaq.png)
Well, looks like its signed by Sauer, the guy from Outcast?
The author of this art is Frank Sauer.
Agony?
Correct!
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/TzqOZYm.png[/imgzoom]
Descent?
Looks kinda like an underwater game.
Aquanox?
a tad older than AquaNox
And looks to good to be Subwar 2050...
Tad older than Aquanox makes it 1997 or 1998.
Hell, maybe it's Wing Commander :)
Schleichfahrt?
Well, at least I got the underwater part right. :)
Nihilyst got it right.
The international title is Archimedean Dynasty which is the prequel of Aquanox.
But yes - it plays a lot like an underwater Wing Commander and is highly recommended.
Next a cropped one:

Space Quest 3?

I believe it's the very first room of SQ3. You should've picked something harder mid game :)

Yep. That brown garbage heap in the background was a dead giveaway for me too. The only thing that stumped me was the green, but looking at screenshots, appears to have been grime dripping from the walls. Nice.
That's Rampart. I love that one.

Damien Hirst: The Adventure Game
Pretty sure that's from Lost: Via Domus.
OK, fuck the formalities, I'm right, let's go on to the next one:

Hmmm, is this retro jRPG?
Looks like Square Penics blockbuster :D
hmm.. Final Fantasy 6?
Looks like one of Dragon Quest games.
It looks like a walking scrap heap to me.
Nope so far. Some guis got removed so the screenshot is a bit deceptive. Totally awesome game that came out in the early nineties. Way ahead of it's time. Not so much jRPG but certainly j.
Is this DOS or console game?
Console.
Hint: It was released along with a 'new addition' to said console. I'll do another screenshot and hint later on if no one gets it.
Edit: another screenshot -

AprilSkies & Gribbler Thanks I feel less bad :-[ and no clue what that game is... Looks strategy.
edit: Grammar...
Hmm... strategy game with an isometric view? 8 or possibly 16-bit? Hmm... nope, can't get it. :sad:
Uhm... is it Shogun: Total War?
Nope! It's older...
Waterloo maybe?
Civilization II ??
Age of Empires?
It's not Waterloo, not civ2, not ages of empire.
It's a screen from Amiga.
Hint:
Spoiler
think in which period elephants was used for the first time[\Hide]
Hmmm Caesar?
It's not Caesar, but u got when the game is set.

I'm tempted to say it's one of the Heroes of Might and Magic games.

The other game it looks like is Jagged Alliance.
Because it is! Your turn, Gurok.
Okay. Presenting... an obscure adventure game!
(http://i.imgur.com/Ze55ZFY.jpg)
Jagged Alliance? Really? Looks nothing about what I remember it... maybe I fell into a deep hole and forgot how games looked like? :D
Yeah, sure. You might be thinking of the tactical view. In conversation views, e.g. at mission briefings, all of the portraits were airbrushed to oblivion: http://www.nowgamer.com/siteimage/scale/0/0/189317.jpg (http://www.nowgamer.com/siteimage/scale/0/0/189317.jpg)
Guess I didn't pay that much attention to the briefings then. ;)
Hmm... time for a hint. It's a Windows 3.1 game, in the style of Myst. Made in Australia. Having a hard time finding good screenshots of it. It was a really terrible game. Just imagine rooms and rooms of ray-traced scenery like this:
(http://i.imgur.com/XoYNRWq.jpg)
I guess, not that many Australian adventurers around here. Maybe it's time for some tell tale hints. :)
Oh, I didn't realise this would be so obscure.
Okay. Umm... the name starts with an E. It's a one word name with eight letters. It was re-released in a deluxe CD edition in 1997. I don't know how much more I can give away, but I'll keep dropping hints. :D
No idea. Guess based completely on your crosword style hints - Explorer?
Unfortunately, that's not it. But here's another clue to narrow it down further. It was published by WizardWorks Software.
Entombed? My favourite game of all time! Really? THE Entombed? OMG! Can't believe you've picked Entombed! Jesus!
I mean, life can be sooooo strange, man! Wow! To find Entombed here...it's just...Wow!

Heh heh. Alright, I'll quit hogging the spotlight. Your turn Miguel!

Head over Heels
Yes indeed! One of the greatest games of its time, Jon Ritman and Bernie Drummond pushing the 8-bits to their limits and beyond.
I'm gonna go jump off a bridge now. :)
Nice one! Actually the version I posted from Knight Lore was the Amstrad version.
But yes, you're right, it's amazing that Head Over Heels was made on the ZX machine.

No, that's Theme Park Mystery. Weird game.
CaptainD is correct, and yeah, weird game indeed. It was also out on PC but I think the Amiga version is best known.
I remember playing the demo on the Atari ST. Wow... that was a long time ago!
Let's see if anyone can get this one... the telltale bottom half of the screen cut out:

Heh... no. Albert Einstein was just the character you play against in a board game in this budget release for the Speccy.

Really?? I played it only because it was free on PSN+ and not for too long.

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. :)

[imgzoom]http://s27.postimg.org/5a455z0lf/dallasquest.png[/imgzoom]
If you'd told me before this that "The Dallas Quest" was a real game, I don't think I'd have believed you!!!
Okay, here's one... only a small part of the screen, but featuring the main character, from a game by truly iconic developers... so I'd be really surprised if nobody got it.

Magic Pockets?
Yup. Thought it would be easy, but couldn't resist. 8-)
So... your go, LimpingFish.
Sorry, no time to think of a juicy one. So...

The Thing?
I just googled that game and the HUD doesn't seem to match. It would be weird if it was, though, seeing as we just had a John Carpenter movie in the other Guess thread!
Somehow back of protaginist head and the hood look a lot like Desmond Miles' from Assassin's Creed.
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:
(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tKe5yMeqO74/U3e2pXmEc2I/AAAAAAAAARw/LwT65f1tKxw/s1600/93857935.png)
Could it be a 007 game? Or something spy theme game?
Seem to get a memory trigged by the last pic, though the first still says me nothing.
Is it a Playstation 2 game?
Sort of reminds me of Syphon Filter... but I don't think it's that.
I'm sure I played it at some point in my life...
Nope to Bond and Logan.
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:

Maybe another hint?
Quote from: Gribbler on Wed 21/05/2014 08:58:11
Maybe another hint?
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).
Soldier Elite?
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.
Quote from: LimpingFishCorrect. I suspect some detective work (or a sneaky-googly-imagey!) was required to come up with the answer.
Just some detective mobygames snoop. I never use image search! I will post new game tomorrow.

It's Settlers!
it's an Amiga game maybe around 1994.
1993, and it was also on PC, but it's Settlers of course, an intro scene.
Great :D
And this is the next one (It's easy so... I prefer not showing the main character :P)
(http://i58.tinypic.com/166d3qx.png)
Is it Brat?
abstauber you were faster than light.. ;-D yes
yay :) I recently read about it, that's why I recognized it instantly.
next:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/8QCxkMU.gif[/imgzoom]
could also be fater than light. Or one of the commander keens.
I guess Commander Keen, but I can't tell which one...
EDIT (I googled Commander Keen to see if I could remember which one- after guessing not before! and there is an ONLINE play of it now! OMG! http://www.play.vg/games/148-Comm ) :shocked:
Sorry, no Commander Keen involved in this game. But 'faster than light' is a big hint :wink:
Is there an EGA demake of FTL? Then this!
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/oDMVlRQ.gif[/imgzoom]
and this is not a PC game ;)
I found it on Google with the FTL tip. ;)
Then just "name-the-game" (tm) and the fame is all yours :cheesy:
It's some sort of Star Trek game... I spy the Enterprise and the Federation logo. I'd have to cheat to know more than that now!
I've only had PCs and BBC Micros (my first console was the PS2) and I never had an Atari or anything so if it ain't PC I don't knoooow! :D Well, I think we briefly had a speccy and an old Apple Macintosh, but I don't think I ever used them, they were just my dad's...
So yeah, without cheating all I can say is it's a TREK game! :D
Not a Trek game, even though I had also thought so when I first saw the screen...
Google FTL ---> wiki FTL --> FTL games -> SunDog ... ;)
Yeah, that's it.
Oh help! Guess it's my turn! :)
I cropped this a "bit" as I think it's a very easy one... I never finished this one though, as far as I remember! :/
(http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww258/Cassiebsg/Misc/Image.png)
That's gotta either be The Great Escape or Where Time Stood Still, both by Denton Designs and released by Ocean Software if my memory is correct. Judging by what appears to maybe be the door to a building, I'll go for The Great Escape.
LOL
I knew it was easy. :) The Great Escape it is!
Okay, here's another Speccy one... a bit obscure maybe, I think I had it on a cover tape in the mid 80s!
[imgzoom]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/OybPQH_ibov_F98Jn3Tv6jBqQRJmR09VJ034v-7JTNOR=w320-h240-no[/imgzoom]
Gotta love those colours... 8-)
I fear I may have gone a step too far into obscurity with this one?! This game had a one-word title.
Never had a Speccy :~(
Also starting to collect them now seems to be quite pricey, since I'd have to get all the stuff from the UK.
Is the one word title: Terminus: The Prison Planet ? ;-D
Quote from: abstauber on Sun 25/05/2014 22:04:41

Hey, I only ever thought of the game as
Terminus!! Anyway, that's the one.
:P
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/QZrlMmR.png[/imgzoom]
GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I know that one! I had it on the Atari ST. I'm pretty sure it began with Z... Zaxon? No I don't think that was it.... nnnngggggggggggggggggg this is going to drive me mad. Wasn't Zarch, that was the Archimedes title for Virus (well, the other way round actually).
Gah... thank you Anstauber for melting my brain, this is going to drive me mental and I'll remember the name in my sleep only to find someone else got it before I log on again.
That leaves me excited if you can make it, before Gribbler spots an unguessed title
:D :D :D
Wait! I should be in bed, but I think this was Galax or maybe 3D Galax!! (nod)
Ding Ding Ding :-D
As a fun fact, I still play this some times to listen to Ben Daglish's soundtrack
Wow I couldn't remember the music but it sure brought back memories when I found it on YouTube. Needless to say the ST version was pretty painful on the ears... ST chip music tended to be! :-D This remix is nice - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAHLujwJfQg (Well thanks Absauber, I've just listened to this twice in a row and about to hit play when it ends again... aurgh!!)
Okay, so... what next? Okay, here's a game... admittedly not a particularly good one, though not a terrible one either... that I got bundled with my first ST back in the eighties. Cropped as the game features its name in the side status display!

police quest in sim city?
Quote from: selmiak on Mon 26/05/2014 18:36:53
police quest in sim city?
You're SOOOOO close. The only words that aren't actually in the game's title are "sim", "quest, "city, "police" and "in".
Is it Helipad? I'm not sure, though.
hmmm... Licence to Kill - it has at least the title in the GUI :)
@CaptainD
For some strange reasons, it's incredibly hard to find the original Amiga version of the 3D Galax theme :~(
This dance version is quite fun too http://bop.fm/s/ben-daglish/3d-galax
Adeel is closest so far.
It has a different word for Helicopter in the title, and then a letter.
I suppose, a Chopper ;D
like Chopper X?
let's stay with the Atari for a moment and enjoy this megademo:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/QihhNIL.gif[/imgzoom]
also a very catchy tune
Please, can we switch to Sega and Nintendo games? I've emulated countless Sega and Nintendo games. Who knows, perhaps I'll be able to guess one! (roll)
Well at least Atari ST and MegaDrive share the same processor ;)
But if I ever guess another game, I'll try to remember a console title
Thank you! ;-D
Ah, I remember the 16-bit demo scene... ;-D
But I don't particularly remember that one!
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.
Quote from: abstauber on Tue 27/05/2014 15:50:11

Now weirdly that does ring a bell. But I still can't think of the game despite it presumably ending in "eless"! (Which makes me useless, I guess.)
The next superhint is Pink Floyd
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/q8U5KFa.gif[/imgzoom]
.. and the next screeny
Never played that demo, but it reminds me of a Jeff Minter game.
I know I'm going to kick myself when I see what this is, but I just can't think of it. :-\
music is called "Comic Bakery tune" by Martin Galway. I bet you've heard it before.
Now what's the name of the demo?
ultimate hint:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kcEGW22WrU
I don't know anything about those demos, never played one. So, I don't know, Dark Side of the Spoon?
Of course it is 8-)
You really never booted up a megademo?? I assure you, there's lots to discover!
[IMGzoom]http://i.imgur.com/BMVpBtO.jpg[/IMGzoom]
What's that?
It looks like an imitation of Day of the Tentacle!
Quote from: AprilSkiesIt looks like an imitation of Day of the Tentacle!
Yep. A cheap one.
Is it an AGS game?
Quote from: Ben XIs it an AGS game?
Nope, it's a Polish commercial game. Released in 1995.
Another pic:
[IMGzoom]http://i.imgur.com/P7CCP04.png[/IMGzoom]
Can't guess that...
Polish game... Too tough for me!
Too easy, since I'm Polish, too -- and actually owned both the original version and the enhanced CD version -- so I'll let others guess :)
Quote from: FitzToo easy, since I'm Polish, too -- and actually owned both the original version and the enhanced CD version -- so I'll let others guess

OK, fine, it's... SKAUT KWATERMASTER :D
So what do I do now? Pick a new picture for someone to guess?
Quote from: Fitz on Sat 31/05/2014 21:51:35
So what do I do now? Pick a new picture for someone to guess?
Yes! But please, not another Polish game :-D
Oh, all right. Even though you might actually know this one (http://thecompany.pl/res/gra/1290128625-TeenAgent-5.png) from GOG, or this one (http://www.miastogier.pl/baza/Encyklopedia/gry/KsiazeiTchorz_PC/Galeria/KiT_8.jpg), because it's pretty. But fine, you anglocentric xenophobes, here ya go ;)
(http://i62.tinypic.com/tasf2e.jpg)
Not only am I an anglocentric xenophobe, I'm an anglocentric xenophobe with no idea what game this is. In fact if it weren't for the fact that the text "Alien Spacecraft" is there, I would have hazarded a guess at some kind of deep sea marine biology simulator!! (roll)
I would Guess Alien... since that's the first think it come to mind when watching that pic... but there's probably more than one Alien game... :/
Not even close ;) Need more hints? Date? More pics?
Another screenshot please! Though I fully expect to still not know it.
(http://i59.tinypic.com/2zecsgy.png)
Critical path?
(I never played this game and never saw it in action, but I saw its box all the time.)
Warmer, much warmer. Almost there, actually. Right building, wrong door, so to speak.
That's Tia Carrere, from Daedalus Encounter I think
Ding-ding-ding!!! That is corrrrrrect! :D I figured she'd be a dead give-away, this being her only role in a game (I think).
(http://i.imgur.com/9cYSWzQ.gif)
Dragonsphere?
Correct!
I just knew it wasn't Quest for Glory, so that left Dragonsphere :D
Alright! Try this one:

Mystic towers!

Yes! You're up next, monkey424! And sorry, Gribbler, not an Atari ST game AFAIK. More like a shareware Apogee game for DOS.

Abe's Oddysee?
Yeah. Pretty easy. Your go!

Afraid I can't even see it! (Even when I open the URL on its own.) Is it just me?
Don't know if it's only you, but I can see it... no idea what game it is though... reminds me of chinesse checkers... :)
Ah I can see it now... but still don't know what it is. :-[

I still have the shareware version lying around somewhere.

HEXAGON!

It's with a double X, but I'll let that slide. Okay, Babar, you're up!
Heh...I guess my eyes just automatically skipped over the second X.
Here's one I figure will be relatively easy, but I haven't seen it in the thread yet:
(http://i.imgur.com/qUBb3Qz.gif)
I seriously feel that I should know that one, but nothing is coming to mind. :embarrassed:
I was worried everyone hated me and my stupid game choices. Thanks for reassuring me. ;D
If there are no guesses soon, I'll post another screenshot (it's such a hassle getting through the beginning of that game).
I can only speak for myself, but I don't hate you! :-D Haven't been online much over the last couple of days but thought it was odd that Name The Game hadn't appeared on my new post replies list...
Pretty sure it's not, but Zak McKracken?
No, there were certainly airports in Zak McKraken, but they didn't look like that. Also I definitely don't remember a skeleton, which is probably a clue somehow as to what this game is?!?
(Yes, I didn't read the bit where you said "Pretty sure it's not" :tongue: - just thinking out loud!)
Is it KGB (Conspiracy)?
Not KGB or Zak McKracken
Probably make it much easier:
(http://i.imgur.com/1oZl7Sh.png)
Well... I now want to say "Operation Stealth" but I don't think it's that either!
No... It can't be Operation Stealth... I remember that skeleton in the waiting room but can't place in the right game!?!?
It's not Rex Nebular??
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.
As a small hint, you guys are getting the vibe of the game completely wrong!
Mmmm. No it's not Operation Stealth. I know that game too much. It's not.
It's not Rex Nebular, quite sure.
The problem is that I don't know what it is!
Quote from: Babar on Sat 07/06/2014 07:45:43
As a small hint, you guys are getting the vibe of the game completely wrong!
Hmm...um.. so it's "R-Type - The Movie" ?
Serieously, it really looks like I should know this... but I don't.. ARGH :grin:
If we're on the wrong track with Zak, KGB and Op Stealth, I take it that means it also isn't Future Wars?
No, it is not Future Wars either. Think something a lot less serious.
Okay, I've cheated so obviously won't guess, but... tbh I didn't even know there was ever a game made of this!
Soo Challanging Babar!
This one is really getting interesting!
It's from 90's.
Tell us the exact year of publishing!!!

Quote from: Ben X on Sun 08/06/2014 14:06:47
Wayne's World The Game? Beetlejuice The Game? The Naked Gun the Game?
Is that a guess? :cheesy:
Technically, that's more like 3 in 1... ;)
I think. that a skeleton in a waiting room, would probably make very sense in a naked gun game, though. (for the record, not a guess. ;) I haven't played this game, that much I'm sure of!)
I figured as I was wildly guessing and we'd been on this one for a while that I'd take 3 guesses! But I'll go for Wayne's World if I have to pick one, just because that sprite looks vaguely like he's wearing Wayne's clothes!
Hahaha...I didn't know the other two games you listed existed, but you are right! It is Wayne's World.
I don't know if they exist either - but then, I didn't know that a Wayne's World game existed!
Okay, here's a quicky:
(http://i.imgur.com/GV6FwDx.png?1)
No one? I'll do another grab in the next 20 hours or so if there aren't any guesses or questions by then...
Sorry, not ringing any bells with me.
It does ring a bell to me (more the character, than the pyramid), but can't place it, or name it...
HAHA just cheated and saw what it was - nice choice! 8-)
This should do it:
(http://i.imgur.com/mYKGd9S.png?1)
hey, you just rotated that image :P
Well, from the picture, I can see that it's Bill and Ted related.
I'm just going to guess that it's a game with the title "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure". Do I need to guess the platform too? I don't know the platform. It doesn't look like PC. If I had to guess, I'd say SNES.
Nah, I'll let you get away with not knowing it was the Atari Lynx game. Your go, Gurok!
Try this one!
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/SBD3bvs.gif[/imgzoom]
one of the wintergames incarnations. on atari maybe?

It's not Winter Games. It was never released for Atari (AFAIK). Not SSX Trick either.
A little too early for hints. For now, keep guessing. :D

Bump. ;)
Seriously, I can't make a guess now since out of curiosity I looked it up - I have never played the game but I have heard of it.
Maybe another screenshot is in order?
Is it actually a beat-em-up (or whatever Street Fighter games are called these days)? It kind of looks like it's pastiching them...
Quote from: Ben XIs it actually a beat-em-up (or whatever Street Fighter games are called these days)?
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.
Oh, and I don't know this game. Some super early Double Dragon? :)

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. :)

It's obvious it's not, but very funny :-D
It's Human Killing Machine. Somebody take a turn.

AprilSkies should take another turn. Maybe we'll know it this time!
Yeah, and don't crop images of super obscure games! :)
To be fair he only cropped it because he thought it would be super-easy, not super-obscure! :P

Ok guys :D
Here we go ...

Another obscure game?
Not so much...
Looks like Dragon Ninja to me.
It's not Dragon ninja.
:tongue:
I only said it LOOKS like Dragon Ninja. :P
The player character sprite looks familiar, but I can't place it. Is the screenshot from the C64 version of whatever it is? Something like Target Renegade perhaps? (For which I've only seen the Speccy version.)
It's the AMIGA version...
Hint: its inspired by a famous Anime Manga .. :shocked:
Complete Iron Anorak? :-D
No no (wrong)
Hmm... one for Gribbler I think. I cheated and have never even heard of the game!
I think it looks like the Mega Drive version of Hokuto no Ken.
I think it looks like the AMIGA version of Hokuto no Ken.
Yep! It is!
The exact name is Last Battle, but everyone call it hokuto no ken!
Iceboy, you can go!

I'm shocked... Here's the third and last obvious clue:
(http://i.imgur.com/XiWCdLh.jpg)
It's Challenge of the Ancient Empires and it's soooo popular that I've never played it in my entire life. :P

Gribbler: Is it 'King's Quest XII: Manannan and the two bullet heads'?
Quote from: AnasAbdinIs it 'King's Quest XII: Manannan and the two bullet heads'?
Nope... but, surprise surprise, there's a connection to Manannan. :)
That looks SO familiar... I've surely played that game..
Lands of Lore?
Nope.
New clue please!
Shannara?
Sorry for the delay, guys. Here's new screen:

This looks kind of familiar but I just can't think of the title.
Hunter on Amiga.
:-[ I've never played it.. or any game on Amiga for that matter. I just Googled 'you have destroyed a rabbit'
Am I the only one that doesn't see the appeal of having a 'game' like this going on when everybody just cheats and googles? I mean, I don't care, I don't 'play' but it's just something that I keep asking myself when I check the thread.

Yeah, I agree with you. Sorry for ruining the party.
Do I get a red card now?
I wouldn't say it's cheating as long you don't use image search.
Hunter is correct.. your turn monkey424.

I agree. Every text left on screenshot is considered a hint for participants.
Alrighty then..

Startship Titanic :P
Yes!! Thank GOD someone got it! The suspense was killing me!
Over to you, Gurok.
Apologies for the blurriness of the capture, but I couldn't find any screenshots or abandonware sites with this gem, just a YouTuber playing through it:
(http://i.imgur.com/6ZLrkl6.png)
Obscure educational game! Go!
Eco-Saurus?
Dammit, I would have guessed Starship Titanic, except I got told off when I did it because (apparently, although the search function shows nothing) we'd had it before!
We've had Eco-Saurus as well (which I'm pretty sure that is)!
It's not Eco-Saurus! Keep guessing.
You're close though. It's the same game series or brand or what-have-you.
Spell-a-Saurus?
teh-saurus?
Is it Zug's Adventure's on Eco-Island?
Because as far as I know, that is the same game.
If there were an entire series of edutainment games featuring Zug the weird dinosaur, I am going to be hugely disappointed that I didn't know about them!
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.

medal of honour - episode 1?
Wing Commander?
Nope and nope.
Wings?
Wings of Glory?
IS this from an adventure game or flight combat sim?
Probably not, but I'll shoot "Aces of the Sky"?
cacaro is correct. It's "Wings"
Next one:

Notice the taunt! (laugh)
It's Legend of Valor. It's been posted earlier in this thread.

Yep!
Hopefully this won't be a fail like the last one I posted :-D
Here it is:

Ring Cycle?
And now a game I'm currently playing. I missed it all those years ago and I'm now catching up. It's freaking fantastic.

Yes it is!
*punches himself for not recognizing the first screenshot*
Was it from the intro logo or something? I don't remember any significant dragons in the game...
Pass for now. I don't have time to hunt for a screenshot..
cacaro, you can redeem yourself with the next game screenshot. :)
Fine! Be that way! See if I care! :)
Here's next:
(http://i.imgur.com/tGIjtIh.jpg)
Maybe not (as I never played it) but maybe The Neverhood?
Maybe correct. :)
Does that mean it's my turn?
What are the odds of guessing a game that one has never played before? Only seen my cousin playing it for a few minutes.
Quote from: CassiebsgWhat are the odds of guessing a game that one has never played before? Only seen my cousin playing it for a few minutes.
Not that slim, you know. I've been guessing games I've never seen nor heard of before. :) And, of course, there're not that many games with clay graphics. Your turn.
This took me time to find... I couldn't remember it's name... LOL... another one that I don't remember ever finishing.
Spoiler
(http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww258/Cassiebsg/Misc/Untitled-1.jpg)
EDIT 1: Seems like this one already been posted here, even though the pic is gone now.
Should I just find another one?
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:
(http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww258/Cassiebsg/Misc/Untitled-2.jpg)
Seems like a version of bombjack to me, though I've only seen the Arcade and Famicom versions before.
Must be the Speccy version judging by the graphics.
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. :)
I'm just lazy atm. Maybe CaptainD who got the system correct can take this turn?

OK, hint time:
Hint 1:
Spoiler
This is the first in a series of 3 educational games, originally released in 1996.
Hint 2:
Spoiler
There's been (recent) talk of bringing this game to tablets.
Hint 3:
Spoiler
The game was developed and published by Brøderbund Software, then later remade and published by The Learning Company.
Hint 4:
Spoiler
There were 12 different puzzles each with 4 difficulties.
Hint 5:
Spoiler
There was a big focus on developing logic and reasoning skills.
Hint 6:
Spoiler
The main characters all look slightly different to each other. Most of the puzzles revolve around this.
Logical Journey of the Zoombinis?
Correct! Also known as Zoombinis Logical Journey.

Yes it is.
Here's next one:

It's Yendorian Tales. I pass my turn to Baron. :)
One of my favourite non-adventure games from childhood:
(http://www.vanwijst.com/games/Published/game1.jpg)
Sopwith variant?
Nope. At least that's not what it was called on the C64.
I cheated (by googling the word on the shot and "c64", which gave me the answer immediately), so I will pass.
Quote from: Iceboty V7000aI cheated (by googling the word on the shot and "c64", which gave me the answer immediately), so I will pass.
It's not cheating. You just followed a hidden-in-image clue Baron left for us. :) Only google image search is considered cheating. BUT it's of course my opinion and if don't agree, well, don't guess.
is it choplifter on the speccy?
Nope. :)
And thanks everyone for behing honest. ;) The name I'm looking for starts with a four letter F-word. :=

I'm not that good at counting, that why I write loops for that crap :(
FLOW?
(Only because when I first saw it I'd wanted to say "Airwolf"! :-D)
Wow. Another clue (since the screenshots would all look more or less the same): the third letter from the end of the second word is a "P". ;-D
Right. Fill in the blanks:
F _ _ _ _ _ _ C _ _ _ P _ _

Something Apocalypse?
From Apocalypse?
Although, in this case, I was mistaken about letter usage.
maybe Fort Apocalypse?.. sounds weird enough :P.

please be more specific.
I've not played any Civilization game, tbh. So my guess would be: Command & Conquer: Generals.
Is it Rise of Nations? I don't remember Empire Earth looking like that, which is a very similar game and I played it a lot more than Rise of Nations.
Civilisation V?

Not BaK, but you're near.
Betrayal in Antara?
Betrayal in Grouchland! :grin:

Quote from: kconan on Mon 18/08/2014 01:04:29
Betrayal in Antara?
Yes.
It's a shame that the game is so underrated, by the way. While not as good as BaK, it's still a very good game on its own.
(http://oi57.tinypic.com/21owjs6.jpg)
I know! But I won't tell :tongue:
yeah, that's how this game flows :P :-D
Duty and Beyond (obviously)
An AGS classic, I'd say
Yep, your turn!

It's a Sega Genesis game, because you've said retro consoles aren't your forte. ;)
Made by the folks behind Gunstar Heroes, which you may have heard of.

It's Dynamite Headdy!

Go!
Alright! Your guesses, please...
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/wI2qbxq.png[/imgzoom]
Robocop.
Sorry, no. The main character looks very similar, but it's not Robocop.
Even the enemies look like that big chicken-legged robots that Robocop fought in the movie...
Yeah, I know. This was a shareware title by one of the biggest 90s shareware publishers too. I'm surprised there wasn't a lawsuit, but they seemed to get away with a lot back in those days.
Well I'll be damned, that looks like Electro Body, a.k.a. Electro Man.
Here in the Land of Po, where the game was originally made, we're actually having a game jam inspired by the game (http://thejam.pl/) right now.
Wow, Xland devs judging! Yes, that's correct Fitz! I think most people would know its title as released by Epic, Electro Man. Your turn.
OK, here ya go!
(http://i60.tinypic.com/2eb8f93.jpg)
Looks like Street Fighter 2010, but higher-quality... :confused:
Nope - but it does look similar, indeed! You didn't miss by much, either -- in a way, it was a very close shot.
Did I just kill the thread? ;) Come on, you guys, you can do it!
Start throwing some hints, you thread killer! :)
Hang on, I know I've seen this game! It's not Street Fighter 2010, but it's on the NES, right?
Correct! It came about a year after SF 2010. It was released in the US by Jaleco -- and that version looked slightly different:
(http://i61.tinypic.com/a23ql2.png)
I played the original version (with the android guy) on my Pegasus (a NES rip-off) -- so Grib, I'm counting on you, as I'm assuming you had one, too.
Quote from: FitzI played the original version (with the android guy) on my Pegasus (a NES rip-off) -- so Grib, I'm counting on you, as I'm assuming you had one, too.
Actually, no. I never had one of those and I know very little about console classics of that era. My first console was a PS3. :)
It's Shatterhand. Should've recognized it from the health bar, as it's one of the few NES games I've bought since getting the system.
Surplusguy: Corrrrrrrect! The Japanese version was called Tokkyu Shirei Solbrain. Your turn.
Gribbler: Dude! Those games rocked -- and Solbrain was by far my favorite. Also, if you ever had a C-64, you'd really appreciate the console's negligible loading times.

You beat me to it, Fitz. :-> It sure is Kingpin.
That's definitely either Robinson's Requiem or Bladerunner. (roll)
Kingpin, yeah. Great game
Yeah, it was a fun game. I liked the art style and how well it went with the setting -- and I'd recognize those chubby guys everywhere.
Have fun with this one:
(http://i57.tinypic.com/1rc4rq.jpg)
Angry Bags?
nope, but angry onions!
There's plenty of somewhat disturbed birds in there, too. But Selmiak's closer -- the title contains edible plants.
Furious Cabbages?
Something about turnips?
Terrible Tubers 2!
Nope, nope and nope. Also: said edible plants are clearly visible in that picture.
Blueberry Garden? :) One of the rare games I actually had to play twice to beat. It's indie too. :-*
YES!!! :cheesy: Just when I lost all hope -- and was, again, ready to declar myself a certified thread killer -- you come in and save the day!
OK, your turn! Give us some obscure, retro French game, will ya?
I hope it's not too easy:
[imgzoom]http://www.lotusrevenge.fr/PublicProjects/guess.png[/imgzoom]
Judging by the lack of guesses, I'd say it's definitely not too easy!
Time for another screenie / clue perhaps?
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)

I meant more like 1999-2000 retro :-D -- because I knew a few from that time, mostly thanks to Game One, the French game channel that we got on our cable back in the day (roll).
Sight... I really like those investigation games. I'll give up tomorrow, wouldn't want to kill the thread.:X
French investigation game? Ummm...
"Le Détective"
:D.
Nice try, even spelled right :grin:
But the title is actually the name of the victim.
La Victime! ;-D
Not bad, but still not it :)
A final clue, the title is also the name of a Mexican state in the east.

it's an msx game. You move a mouse on a kayak rescuing little mice stranded on islands ;-D
Mopiranger?
It is ;-D

Bill and Ted's Excellent Golf
Nope :)
Myst?
Nope.
HINT: The game is an utter crap.
Excellent Golf & Myst utter crap?
It's a third instalment in a series of games.
Excellent Golf & Myst utter crap III? (roll)
Close but no cigar :P

Oh sorry, I meant "Telephone Box Simulator III".

Haha! Good one, Babar. :D But it's not Myst.
Another screenie:

Simon the Sorcerer 3D?
Quote from: GurokSimon the Sorcerer 3D?
Bingo!
I'd recognise that low poly awfulness anywhere. (The public telephone helped.)
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/R9uooJO.png[/imgzoom]
Here's another screenshot. Hopefully it's a clue. If you're still stuck, I have an even more obvious one :D
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/0GYOd2K.png[/imgzoom]
It looks like an early version of something like Circus Attractions, but I don't think that game out on the 8-bits (also not quite sure what system that is - from the colour scheme I'm assuming maybe CPC or MSX?)
Is the "DD" in the second screenshot a clue as to the name of the game?

Unfortunately the only thing I can think of right now is Dynamite Dux!! (roll)
Uhm... Daffy Duck? :)
Double Dragon:grin:
Considering it's a game about competing to win $$$ in a game show (I think), I just make this up:
Double Deal?
Dear Devil? (laugh)
Hmmm... some good guesses so far, but it looks like you could use another hint. Unfortunately, there's not that much more to the game.
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/OtbUpkp.png[/imgzoom]
Based on a popular children's television programme.
It could be "Double Dare", then :D
Yes! Finally! Someone guessed it. Okay, great. Your turn.
Next:
(http://www.longwayhome.de/zeug/guess/guess_27.jpg)
Skyrim (although that bridge design doesn't look familiar)?
Not Skyrim. Newer than that.
GASP!!! A "NEW" game? Amongst all these retro screenies?!? :P
Complete guess... Shadow of Mordor?
If it's newer than Skyrim, it must be The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter then?
It is indeed The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, which I fully recommend not only for its looks.
Your turn, Grim :D
Gosh, the 3d nowadays... I still can't get used to how fast it progresses. For a minute I could not decide whether it is a rendered 3d or painting (wtf).
I'm waiting for The Vanishing to be released for PS4. Sure looks like a nice game!
Here's another one of my favorites:

It totally is.

It's P.T. aka Silent Hills :)
it's P.T. aka the Silent Hills Trailer game, but it's your turn Gribbler ;-D
P.T. stands for "playable teaser" to be exact. :)
BTW, did you see the second one from Tokyo Game Show?
Here's the link: http://youtu.be/gY91vV0rWr4
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: Gribbler on Tue 14/10/2014 22:47:21
Kojima and Del Toro will make people shit their pants. :)
Absolutely, and they are also good at convincing people that they need more sony products ;)
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:
(http://i.imgur.com/sOQFDRo.jpg)
Jaws: The Early Years of a James Bond Baddie?
Hahaha, nope. :)
Dentist Surgery Simulator
LA Noir?
Both incorrect. It's a very recent game.
Probably not recent enough, but Bioshock Infinite?
NO WAIT, Sherlock Hoilmes Crimes And Punishments!
Correct. But my spelling detector went off :)
I'm currently playing this game and I love how you can end each case with a different deduction result.
May I just add that P.T. was the only game I had to turn off after just 20 minutes because it was TOO FRICKING TERRIFYING!?!
Seriously, if you have PS4, do not play it when you're home alone. Or at least do not turn off the lights.
Oops, I typo'd in my rush to update! Here's a nice easy one:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/iP6NBmU.png[/imgzoom]
Looks like Discworld. But what's Rincewind from Discworld 2 doing there?
Quote from: GrimSeriously, if you have PS4, do not play it when you're home alone. Or at least do not turn off the lights.
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.
Quote from: Gribbler on Thu 16/10/2014 11:47:36

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. :)
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!)
That was exactly what I thought! :) A funny cut scene from DW2... maybe I need to get DW2 and play it one of these days.
Anyway... here's what it should be an easy one:
(http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww258/Cassiebsg/Misc/plane.jpg)

Right.

Nope.
The graphics kind of remind me of Star Trek: Legacy. But I don't see no Federation ships... :P
HINT: It's related to previous game.
UFO: Enemy Known? :grin:
Not that close :)
X-com interceptor?
Correct!
All right here's the next one! The top black box part was edited just in case :D

Oh sorry, I was in a rush and misread it as a game called Captain Mostly. :tongue:
(Afterall there was a fan game called Captain Muchly Drinks Bleach (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/64/).)
Anyway it's Babar's turn.
Edited: Fixed name of said fan game and linked to the the AGS db entry.
I don't have access to my obscure games, so abstauber(or someone else) can have a go.

Adventures of Iceygames? :)
We're doing screenshots of demos now?!?!? :P
If it's a game made by Icey indeed, then I guess it would be Pub Master's Quest or one of its sequels...
It's not a freekin' Icey game! And no, well yes, it's a demo but it's also like a complete introduction for a game.
Arrrr... I want to say it... but it would feel like cheating! :wink:
Captain and Ponch, cheat away guys, you're the only people who ever played the game.
Anyway, here's a hint or two:
it stars a misogynist idiot who is incredible good looking and has had several adventures made;
icey was indeed a big contributor for the "franchise";

OSD - LGS - Demo
And you're wrong about the 2 people because I totally played this game and had a great time with it!
Anyone else please take my turn if I'm right
You're a star Mandle!
Okay, since no-one's taken up Mandle's mantle (see what I did there? (roll)) - I'm going to post an easy one to get the game started again.

Jack the (rhymes with Ripper... a theme of youthfulness about it...)

Jack the Stripper?

Spitwad Willy is how I know that game! But I got it on a CD of pirated games, so who knows...
Correct! I believe the design was copied from Pang, but it was a lot of fun. You're up next, Babar.
Yay! But again, I have not got access to my collection of games, so I pass my turn on to someone else.
Here's a relic from the 80's

GAH!! Why did people stop posting zoomable images?!?! :P
I feel I should know this one but I just can't think of it.
The game has a pretty unusual visual perspective. Is it Atic Atac?
Hopalong, you got it! :)
I had completely forgotten about it until I saw that image.
Sorry CaptainD, forgot. I'll edit it for your pleasure only. (laugh)
OK, try this one on for size:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/bmJjQ5Y.png[/imgzoom]
Dunno. Reminds me a little of Dino Crisis. but it's not that... :-\
Since there's a terrorist in the picture, I'll say: 24 ?
Nope. The game pitched itself as a cyberpunk thriller and has a strange fantasy-world VR section.
Bureau 13?
You can't see it too well in the picture but the protagonist was bald and wore sunglasses all night, and figured prominently on the box art.
Oh, Nightlong was it?
That's right, Nightlong: Union City Conspiracies.

Is it Pikmin 3 for wii u?... (not my sort of game or console but I seem to recognize the aesthetic).
No, it's a relatively recent game for PC and consoles. The player character can utilise the strange abilities of other characters in the game, 2 of which are in the screenshot.
this one i don't have a clue :-\
Okay, here's one with the player character in view. It's a 3D platform puzzle game. Released in May 2014.

Well, you have the right number of words, with the 4th and 5th words are correct, whilst the 6th is kind of on the right track... almost makes me wonder if you know what it is!
City of Colors?
Primate in a City of Doublerainbow?
BSP gets it!
Or... wait...
Gribbler has the second part of the title. Since no-one seems to have played this, that's enough - your go Gribbler.
The full title is The Last Tinker: City of Colours.

Yeah, it's a very enjoyable game. Very kid-friendly too - my 4 year-old loves watching me play it!
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?
Not Ishar.
One word, begins with "M".
Mezoberranzar.

Menzoberranzan.

Might & Magic 5 then? :)

I was afraid it might be. Well... How about something locally grown:
Or, maybe Gribbler can dig something else out of his vaults.
Jwalt, I've found it! All hallows' eve. (I was clicking continously on Lucky dip button in AGS database, today to find this game, and there, that's how I found it)
Now, someone, name this game:
(http://i.imgur.com/btM691L.png?1)
Dunno about the game but the text looks like a quote from Poe's Tell-Tale Heart.
Gribbler, if you have played the game, you would have probably already realized what game it is. (roll)
Here's another screenshot:
(http://i.imgur.com/S2UMvTB.png?1)
Looks like a RON game but beyond that I don't have much of a clue... doesn't look like one I've played.
Nope, it's not a RON game...
This is the last screenshot I can give, and now it should be rather easy to guess what game it is.

ok, think i found it googling "crazy well ags":
I'm not crazy, right? - The Well
Yes, janhelt. :P
It's a game by King_wiking, and it's called I'm not crazy, right? - The Well.
The protagonist is a crazy (socipathic) farmer who wants to became a theater actor. He gets visited by aliens, upon his request. Great AGS game. :=

Okay, since this took such a lot of effort to track down (even on HAL! :-D) I feel justified about naming the game even though I had to cheat quite gratuitously.
The Short Grey. Never heard of it!
Congratz Captain!
The Short Grey (http://hol.abime.net/5184)
Okay, from an obscure Amiga title to an STE title (by definition obscure!) - though there may have been an Amiga version, I'm not sure.

Amiga is so much to me... I can't help myself...
Still, I didn't Name the Game, so it's going on ;)
Looks a lot like Stardust I played on my Amiga 1200 back in the day.
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.)
Anyway... you're up Gribbler! Keep it 16-bit! :-D

I'm on my phone, so I'll give clues instead. It's a flash game from 2010. It's about a girl who comes in an asylum to work with her uncle. When she arrives, he has mysteriously vanished.
Sorry dude I'm getting the feeling that I've never seen or heard of this game. Even Gribbler doesn't seem to know it! (Therefore, it probably doesn't actually exist. :P)
Thx for these clues Creamy.
Still, it remains not easy at all...
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
Question: Is Asylum in the game title?
The game was Dark Visions (http://www.tenthplay.com/dark-visions/) by 10th Play. It's been played more than 100 000 times according to their website but I admit it was difficult.
Let's try something easier :

It very probably is.

Woah! I killed the game?
Alright. Another shot:

I'm beginning to think that's not even a genuine game! :D
It's Air Buster a.k.a. Aero Blasters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Buster).
I give my turn to Creamy. ;)
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.
QuoteI give my turn to Creamy. ;)
Thank you but I'm not home this week and I can't post a screenshot with my phone so I pass the buck to Gurok.
Try this, everyone!
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/UnQGoVG.png[/imgzoom]
Looks like one of many Boulder Dash clones.
Rockford (http://www.lemonamiga.com/games/details.php?id=910) ?
If I'm right, you should pick a new one Gurok. ;)
You're right, but also...
SCREW YOU ALL! You want an obscure game? I'll give you one:

Screw you, thread killer! :)
Elite?
Quote from: Crimson Wizard on Fri 27/02/2015 21:38:30
Elite?
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) )
Not Elite, not Return to Fractalis. A hint? It's about killer ants from outer space. Here's another screenshot:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/KVFLTcC.png[/imgzoom]
I've tried to make sure all of these are ungoogleable :D
Thx for those hints.
Starflight?
But it's a EA game... So not so obscure...
(Btw, about "ungoogleable", how wanna win by cheating?! ;))
It's not Starflight and not an EA game.
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/QuXDD6K.png[/imgzoom]
Year of release: 1987
Release platforms: Atari 8-bit, Atari ST, Commodore 64, DOS
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/wto45Ze.png[/imgzoom]
Aliants: The Desperate Battle for Earth
?
(last try for me ;))
Correct! That's twice in a row, Atavismus. It has to be your turn now :D
Also, I might add, this game looked a lot better on platforms other than DOS.
Thx Gurok, that was challenging, I liked the hunt. :D
Ok, here is an easy one I guess :
(http://i38.servimg.com/u/f38/18/72/89/38/name_t10.png)
(It's googleable but who cares, we are between gentlemen ;))
Ween the Prophecy. It has been posted before
I guessed it was already posted... (I should have use the forum search engine)
I wanted something not hard, not Amiga exclusive.
Well, nevermind, your turn Gribbler. :)

I saw the pic, thought "Dark Souls", googled "Dark Souls like" and found "Lords of the Fallen", is it cheating?! :O

No one?
Bah, just browse Amiga adventure games, you'll find it and discover some nice gems. ;)
Sex Vixens from Space?
...That may not be it, but I definitely found some...er... "gems."
No, it's not Sex Vixens from Space ^^
Thx for trying! ;)
Well, with this clue, if you know how to search, it's easy: there is a 1.5 sequel to this game.

the last time I've played a game, it was this one ... back in January ;(
It seems to be a "Scorched Earth" like but which one...

Are you sure? I don't recognize WORMS :D
This is 7-player real-time worms with tanks 8-)
Hint 1: It's a console game and needs more than 16 bit processing.
Hint 2: There's been a remake of this for Xbox 360. The screenshot shows the Sega Saturn version.
Death Tank?
Death Tank Zwei
But close enough :)
If you can gather some friends (coworkers, bums) around your TV - try it! It's dirt fun! If I can ever attend to a Mittens again (and it's reachable by car), I'll bring this along.
(http://i.imgur.com/91KgbaU.jpg)
It looks like Deathspank. I looked at it a few times at the PS Store and almost bought it but then thought meh, it's probably shit. Or for kids:P
It IS Deathspank! :)
QuoteI looked at it a few times at the PS Store and almost bought it but then thought meh, it's probably shit. Or for kids:P
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.
Still, to me Diablo meets Monkey Island sounds like chocolate meets sourkraut... Just not right together IMO;)
Anyway, here's my entry:
(http://i.imgur.com/3wWr19C.jpg)
Don't recognise it but the dude with the guns looks like Wolverine to maybe an X-Men game?
He really does look like Wolverine... but it's just a shameless character design rip-off. It's not an X-Men game;)
It's The Suffering. A hellraiser meets Max Payne type of game. Like meringue with mustard. Delicious :P
Yep. The Suffering. I admit I had two helpings of meringue with custard, with The Suffering 2 being just as good as the first one;)

Outcast?
Quote from: Ben X on Wed 25/03/2015 08:43:31
Outcast?
No.
Unlike Outcast, it's not a full 3d game (it uses static, pre-rendered backgrounds).
The longest journey?
Keepsake?
No to both.
Another hint: it's not a 'pure' adventure.
Dirty keepsake!

You're exactly right! (I know the character and parasol were a bit of a giveaway, but I wanted a nice easy one to start the ball rolling again.. :cool:)
Yeah, good idea. ;)
Here is an easy one too (I guess).
The picture comes from the Amiga version, but this famous Sega game is multiplatform.

It reminds me of James Pond... but where's his tail?
Nope. I think that guess is far off.
Oh wait... But it's... Bonanza Bros.! 8-0
Correct! I think once you recognise the characters it would be too easy.
Your turn.
Yay! :D
You're right, anyway. I have just vague memories of the game itself, but not the characters or the game's art style.
I think I did never join this, by the way. How obscure can it get?
Will this do?
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/tCqN2TL.gif[/imgzoom]
Maybe Drakkhen?
Nope, I'm afraid!
You're gonna kill the thread again! :P
Is it Fifa 1983? :wink:
I will supply some hints! :P I don't want to ruin this thread on my first ride! (Actually how does it work? When is time to stop and give out the solution? :D)
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.
C64 version of Gauntlet perhaps?
Great game, but no :( (Of course it's knight-related)
Castle Master?
Nope, this one has a third person view. 2D sprites over a 3Dish environment.
Next hint will be another screenshot :)
Gates of dawn?
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)
Calling Mouth of War... your turn!
Mouth FOR war if i may!!!!!!!!! ;D
Ok here you go
(http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/q492/Alcotrash_79/newgame.png.jpeg) (http://s1160.photobucket.com/user/Alcotrash_79/media/newgame.png.jpeg.html)
Quote from: Mouth for war on Sat 16/05/2015 21:46:58
Mouth FOR war if i may!!!!!!!!! ;D
Don't exactly recognise it but looks like something along the lines of Galaxians, maybe on an Atari 8-bit.
It's not galaxians. :)
but you're not so far off I think ;) Think more obscure :D
Not sure I know many obscure 8-bit shmups!! - only thing I can think of is Galaga.
What's bugging me is that for some reason the ship design rings a bell...
Well, the title of the game sounds like a really cheesy low budget sci fi horror movie I guess hehe. I can give out the first word of the title if the next few guesses are wrong :)
Awesome looking low-res ship in any case...No idea what the game is...
But...It looks like the player is already on zero lives on level 01 from the readout so best of luck to them...
Poor them... :~(
Haha yeah :) Ok the title has 2 words, first word begins with "S" and second begins with "D"
I finally found it on a webpage about obscure Nintendo games (so clearly I cannot now answer!). To be fair to me it did mention both Galaxians and Galaga in the short description of the game. :-D
"Starship Destiny"?
Ohh no mandle that is too great a title to spoil on this piece of crap :-D
Aurgh I can't stand it any longer!!! It's "Space Demons". But as I cheated, someone else take my go.
Quite an obscure pull that one.
Okay since no-one seems to want to take over the mantle for now, here's one from an obvious guess but only a small part of the screen so maybe, just maybe, not quite so obvious (though it probably will be to someone!).

Pretty sure that's from the excellent Book of Unwritten Tales.
That's the one! Your turn again.
Okay this might be obscure or really easy, I'm not sure... remember playing this some years ago when it became freeware, fun and somewhat odd game.
[imgzoom]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/If10V2pO0TY_srJ1rFfhE1vGyqQwCW22OfiixDjtIoAr=w640-h480-no[/imgzoom]

Eye Of The Kraken. Though I must admit I cheated by Googling for Aboubakar's Cabin :=
Well... I think I can let you off cheating on this one occasion! :grin: Your go!
Alrighty, here's another slightly obscure one.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/57502026/startrek.png)
Dunno... unless they made a game version of Treasure Planet?
Could it be Atlantis?
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.
Suppose I might throw you a bone and give a hint: the game is based on a series of novels.
Ring?...
Still nothing? Alright, another hint, then. The game's name starts with a D.
Dune?
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.

You are correct. Your turn!

This is another hard one, so I'll be nice enough to drop a hint right away: in this game you play as a superhero.
I'm 95% sure this game has been posted before. Even the same screenshot. I don't remember the title though
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/57502026/desmond.png)
Still nothing? Oh dear. Better keep this thing going with another screen.
Noctropolis?
BING! Got it in one shot, well done :)

That's Las Vegas, the Japan-exclusive reworking of the original Leisure Suit Larry.
Correct! Ding ding!

Oh dear, did I kill the thread again? Hint: it's a movie-based game.

That is correct ;-D

Oh, Life is Strange! The next episode of that is coming out tomorrow.
That's correct, Cridone!;) I'm looking forward to episode 4 as well. That cliffhanger was one of the best moments in recent gaming history for me.
I will admit, that cliffhanger did make me tear up a little... Which I think is the only cliffhanger in a game I've ever cried to.
Anyway, this is something I've been playing recently.
(http://i.imgur.com/KFtI6ni.png)
I think the graphic style gives the game away.

The Ring Noir? (lel).
I'm not even gonna dignify that with a response :P
Is it an AGS game? Looks like something Auriond might have made (meaning reminds me of Marionette).
No, it's not.
Is it from "Cognition : an Erica Reed thriller"? I have only played the first episode so far.
Ooooh, good answer, but no, that's not it either.

I cheated. This is a pretty obscure game - I'd never heard of it and it only has 3 reviews on metacritic...
More hints Grim!! You thread killer!
It's a 30 minutes fpp horror game in which you have to escape from a serial killer's den before the time is up. It has procedurally generated puzzles/item locations and... well, it's pretty cool, I thought some of you might have known it;) It's on Steam!
Also, the title starts with a letter "E" and ends with "I"?...
It's ENKI. Deviously, the Steam page cuts off the bottom of the screenshots so you can't see the bar.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/377470/
Yep. It's Enki. Shame on you all for not playing it!!! ;) (okay, it's probably not the best game ever... but it was good fun for half an hour;))
Well excuse me for never having played a game that I hadn't even heard of :P

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.
The Thing?

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

Sorry.
Come on guys, give me some guesses! :D
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 :).

Planetside 2, to be precise, but do take the point. :D
I cannot find anything interesting right now, I give my turn up.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/57502026/syringe.jpg)
In that case, allow me to cut in. Or, prick in? :=
Aww, you made it before me, I was really hoping to get a chance to post this:
(http://s15.postimg.org/a0x5eu2kb/Screenshot_35.png)
But Amayirot Akago's image is the one to guess for, this will remain a delightful mystery. :grin:
I'm not sure I'd even want to know :shocked:
Looks like one of those old SEGA CD titles.
Well, I'll give you a free hint right off the bat, it's for PC.
Bulbapuck's was Hot Throttle. Dunno Amayirot Akago's, so I'll guess Tex Murphy - Tesla Effect.
No, the video's clearly too grainy for that.
Clearly.
Black Dahlia?
No, not that one either. I probably shoulda reckoned this would be a hard one, so to further narrow it down: the guy in the picture is a vampire.
Haven't played them but looks right for maybe one of the Elvira games?
Nope, those weren't FMV.
The Vampire Diaries?
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/57502026/robothead.jpg)
Nope. Perhaps this lil' Cortana is more recognizable to whoever may have seen this game.
Still nothing? Sheesh, okay. The main character of the game is played by Malibu from American Gladiators.
It's "Terror T.R.A.X - Track of the Vampire", a game I have never heard of!
Indeed it is, and hats off to you for getting it right 8-)
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.)
Okay, this is a pretty tough (kind of cheaty) one:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/dmI2IQm.jpg[/imgzoom]
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?
Yes! Well done!
:-D Really hope development on that is running smoothly, it looks awesome.
This one may be easy or tough, no idea really.

You're almost definitely right, but I still hope you're wrong! :-D
I have no idea on this game. Resident Evil 2? Fahrenheit (or Indigo Prophecy or whatever it was called elsewhere)? Limbo Of The Lost?
Next Life?
Nope, none of those.
Hint - it IS an adventure game.

You got it! ;)
Yeah! :D
Well, the logo on the last screenshot was a huge hint.
So, what about that game?
(http://i21.servimg.com/u/f21/18/72/89/38/ags10.png)
Looks like it should maybe be a Transformers or Gobots spin-off title. But I suspect it isn't! :-D
Some Japanese mech shooter?
You're right CaptainD, that was a trap, this is not a big bot game and it's not japanese but UK.
I'm not getting any inspiration, seems no-one else is either! Another screenie / hint maybe?
Sure CaptainD!
Here is another screenie:
(http://i21.servimg.com/u/f21/18/72/89/38/spider10.png)
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.
Well, there are some other studios well known for their great gfx on Amiga.
Btw, later, that studio created one of the most famous character in video game history.
It's Blastar by Core Design, who would go on to create the Tomb Raider games.

DMA Design/Rockstar is one more example.
Same with Psygnosis and Team 17.

Yeah!
I found the other one too! 8-)
Mind guyz, few days ago, I put Blastar as a guess for the french and english forum. :-D
Well, I'll post a new guess tomorrow.
Not easy to find a good one...
What about that game?
(http://i21.servimg.com/u/f21/18/72/89/38/yoyo10.jpg)
It certainly isn't Civilization :)
Tribes maybe?
Double nope.
It's a recent game.
Another picture of that recent russian game:

(I love those gfx! Pure Pixel Art beauty!)
This looks like Settlers 1 remake.
I do not know what it is though.
Wow, never heard of that game but it looks amazing 8-0, but I cheated to see what game it is :c
Well, to sum up, it's a russian indie strategy game released in 2015.
You can find it on steam.
Way of Gold and Steel!
A friend sitting next to me in class entered the steam page through a bundle in Bundle Stars.
Lucky score!
Well done Superkumi!
Luck is a part of any game. ;)
Your turn!
Feel free to do another one, I'm not home for the next day or two, but I'll think of one...
Well, I'm working hard on the MAGS those last days and I have no interesting "guess" at the moment, so we'll wait your post. ;)

Nope. I'll give a hint to those who didn't notice:
Spoiler
that car is flying
Oscar: GTFA (Grab The F... Flying Automobile) Edition
I've looked at pretty much every futuristic racing/driving game I can find on Mobygames and still don't know. Maybe time for another hint?
It's not a racing game, it's an arcade-ish flight shooter, came out in 1999.
I got it. It's BHunter.

Hi btw CW ;)
I expected 2 minutes, not 2 hours :) CW is correct of course.
LOL... guess I should have gone with my instinct then... actually thought "Fallout 4"... but thought it was too much of a bad joke... (roll)
(I'm probably the only one in this forum, that hasn't gotten, played, watched trailers, reviews, and all that stuff about the game. (laugh) ).

Nope.
Looks a bit like a Myst, but I don't recall that scene.
Actually, I think it looks more like Shivers ?
No and no.
Tip: the game is full 3d and was released in 2012 (I think)
The game was originally released on the iPad. Windows release was in 2014.

Yep
Ecoquest: The Search for Cetus
Here is mine. It's pretty hard I think but it was hilarious
[imgzoom]http://imgur.com/bwaHpbb.png[/imgzoom]
I'm pretty sure I have already "browsed" that game (the main character... the winged creature...), but can't remember the name.
I guess it's freeware, am I right?
Indeed! and the "company" which had this produced is pretty strange for an adventure game (laugh)
Ah, one for Germans :D
"Gregor Gysi und das Raumschiff Bonn", a political adventure game as part of the 1998 election's campaign.
Darn... I hoped to post more of that! Thats correct! Did you recognize it instantly? Ever played the second one? :=

(http://images9.gry-online.pl/galeria/galeria_duze3/449514546.jpg)

Looks like it comes from the "Mafia"-era (2002-ish).
Isn't that The Watchmaker from the 2001? I mostly remember this game from having a bizarre copy protection, that ran even on the original (unpatched) version, and simply made the game unwinnable.
Correct! It's Watchmaker
Aw yeah. :D

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.
(http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/269142-the-games-summer-edition-atari-st-screenshot-hammer-throw.png)
Okay, going back even further than that... but on a very similar (yet opposite) theme:
(http://www.retrogamer.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/wint1.gif)
Got to be Winter Games.. but that's surely not c64 version, it hasn't got an ortodox church :=
I thought it was Zombie Games. :grin:
Not quite Winter Games. (Sorry but that would just be TOO obvious! :grin:)
It is a Commodore, but not the 64...
That'd be Winter Events, a game for the Commodore 16 ;)

I think I have played this one. Is it:
The Three Sisters' Story or Sakura Spirit?
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 ;)
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. ;)
That it is :) First one I ever played and easily one of the most replayable ones. Your turn!

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).
Until someone feels obliged I am throwing in this "gem" xD

Censored a bit of the screenshot to not make it too obvious ;) In any case, have at it.
Freelancer?
Nope.
That is Sinistar Unleashed! It was in a popular german computer game magazine :-D Looked beautiful at it's time. I could never beat it ...
Correct :) Fired it up again the other day and like you said, it's pretty, but gets damn hard real quickly. Your turn again!
Here is some brain teaser beauty from the past. Anyone remember that?

Brixian?
Yeah. It's called Brix but I can accept that :) It's your turn Atavismus, when you tell me, if you knew that from your personal shareware games era or how you found it out ^^
I played a lot Puzznic in 90'.
I googled Puzznic+clone. ;)

Yes!
A nice and interesting game mixing Lemmings and platform.
Well done! Your turn ;)
What? Seriously? I was right?
Wow! I only knew about that game, because last year I was trying to look for a particular game that was very similar to Solomon's Key (I never did find what I was looking for).
Ok, let's see if anyone can guess this one:

This game was released on the Amstrad CPC, the Commodore 64, and the ZX Spectrum. My Screenshots are from the Amstrad version.
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!).
I found it with a search for"amstrad game london underground" - it's Werewolves Of London!
A super-easy one to get this out of my hands - another game with a London Underground section!

Indeed - your go, Adeel!

Nah, impossible. They must have guessed it from the signature. (nod)

This game quite fits with the current page no. of the thread:

Looks like your average Japanese visual novel, but not one I'm familiar with, and Mobygames hasn't been much help either :( Got another hint?
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:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/olE24bK.png[/imgzoom]
Try harder, amigo! Use your vast knowledge about Japanese visual novels! ;)
I'm still completely in the dark on this :X And I reckon everyone else is too.
Is it Come See Me Tonight.
Oh, damn, that's exactly it >_< I was so hung up trying to find a game with the same interface that I didn't even pay attention to the backgrounds. Good going Danvzare.
Well, presuming I'm right, that means it's my turn. :-D
(http://orig02.deviantart.net/c1c7/f/2016/067/d/4/another_great_game_by_danvzare-d9udl5u.png)
This should (hopefully) be an easy one.
It's Seven Kingdoms. Somebody else take my turn if you wanna.
(http://cache.hackedonlinegames.com/uploads/games/pictures/722/pSS1ZVLEV026L.jpg)
I have no idea what that game is, but I know that I want to play it!
EDIT: I know the game now. It's 400 Years.
You kinda gave it away in a post in another thread.
Although I'll wait for confirmation.
That's it. Good eye to connect the gui and my posting in that other thread ^^
I did that on purpose. It wouldnt have made sense to post any other picture... They all look the same :D
Yay I got it right. :-D
I recognized it, mostly due to the asthetics, rather than the GUI. Also, the 399 years thing kinda helped.
Here's the next one.

Correct!
Your turn. :)
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/57502026/beammeup.png)
Another World (also known as Out of This World)?
Nope, bit more modern than that.
I think I recall seeing something visually similar in Assassin's Creed, but I'm not sure.
Nope, that's too modern.
TRON 2.0?
Nope, but it's the right genre.
Can't remember that scene but maybe Prey?
Nope.

Oh well that's just giving it away. :-D
It's Serious Sam.
It's either the HD remake of the original Serious Sam, or it's Serious Sam 3.
Well, people weren't guessing the last two so I had to make it a bit easier :P And you are correct, that is Serious Sam HD.
Yay, I got it right.
I have no idea what do for the next game, so I'll let someone else take my turn.
It was a bit misleading to say that Assassin's Creed was too modern when it came out 2 years before Serious Sam HD!
Hm, I suppose you're right :-X I was thinking of the original, sorry.
The show must go on!
[imgzoom]http://imgur.com/9XMLZIN.png[/imgzoom]
Just not ringing any bells with me, sorry... :(
Ah, I had actually looked this one up before and completely forgot to post the answer cause I wanted to give someone else a chance := Rummaging around the adventure section on MobyGames I discovered this is apparently a German anti-Nazi game called Dunkle Schatten.
Oh sry i really forgot that I continued the game :D
That's the one! Should be republished these days. Several of my countrymen didn't actually learn from the past, it seems :X

Hint: This game was made by a Finnish developer.
I don't recognise it. The main character sprite made me think of Teen Agent but the graphics weren't as good, and I think that had a Polish developer not Finnish. So I'm drawing another blank I'm afraid! :-[
It looks like "Alien Incident".
And that's a bingo for Atavismus! Go ahead, sir :)
Ok thx Amayirot, let's go:
(http://i86.servimg.com/u/f86/18/72/89/38/jra10.jpg)
I'm already drawing a blank ??? Mind giving a hint?
It's a really nice short AGS game made by a friend in 2010.
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1308/
I'll have to give this one a look sometime :) Somebody else take my turn in the meantime.
I'll gladly take that turn. :-D

This is THE most obscure game I know, that was released by a major company.
So good luck. You're going to need it.
I do believe that is Zombi, the original Ubisoft game that served as the basis for the modern ZombiU (or just Zombi on other platforms).
Ooh, close. But no cigar.
Another screenshot for you.
(http://orig01.deviantart.net/5d95/f/2016/091/7/c/it_s_like_a_sequel_to_zombi__but_it_isn_t_zombi_by_danvzare-d9xakkk.png)
Remember, this is the most obscure game I know of, that was made by a major company. This game doesn't even have a wikipedia article!
Although it does have a fan remake, surprisingly enough.
Huh, I'll be damned. I was kinda wondering why the interface looked similar to Zombi but not quite right, figured it might've been a port or something. Guess I'll have to do some more research unless someone else beats me to the punch.
Another day, another hint. Although there's really not much else to show with the game... except this that is.
(http://orig11.deviantart.net/de75/f/2016/092/d/3/title_screen_by_danvzare-d9xg6pd.png)

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! ;-D
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.
And Amayirot Akago is correct.
The name of this Amstrad game is Hurlements. :-D
Your turn.
[imgzoom]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/57502026/obscure.png[/imgzoom]
Then here's another obscure title to puzzle you all.
Uhm... that was actually easy to find, not that I ever played it... but searching for "+game +puzzle +buldozer +ant" gave me:
Ant attack. (laugh)

Cassiebsg is correct, you go next :) And this is a different Ant Attack from the classic C64/Spectrum game; this one's a shareware title for DOS.

Spend many hours playing this... never finished it... if it was even possible to finish... (roll)
looks very speccy-ish, no idea what it is though.
Man, zoom it at least :)
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.
Okay, I thought it would be an instant "it's ...!!!" (nod)

Yep, it is Captain Blood, and yep, it's on Speccy; figured I'd stick with the theme. Good job ;)
Ah man my memory's seriously going :-D :(

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that "Kung Fu" is probably in the name somewhere.
Tai-pan?
@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! :-D
Nice game Captain :)
here's something to think about a little..

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
Elite 2?
Although I don't think that was ever released for the Spectrum.
I also thought to Elite, but the HUD is different.
I guess it's 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.
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
[embed=601,315]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAVqOBCHxkM[/embed]
What about this?
(http://i86.servimg.com/u/f86/18/72/89/38/sansti10.png)
Is it Star Control?
Or perhaps Starflight?
Not bad but no, nothing with "star".
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...)
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. :)
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?
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! :)
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.
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.
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.
It's Doctor What, an unlicensed Doctor Who game for the Speccy.
And you're right! Your turn. :D
How did you know? Did you manage to decipher one of those blurred out texts, or have you actually played the game?
Which Doctor is it supposed to be? Looks a bit like Sylvester McCoy to me.

Hahaha, no.
It was the Yin-Yang pieces that I remembered from Wizkid, looking it up on Moby I see it looked quite different.
*Quite* different indeed ;) Since this is a fairly obscure one it's only fair if I give a hint: this is an edutainment title of sorts. Also, you won't find it on Moby.

nope
The Prague Post :)
I had a sneak suspicion after remembering a review I once read, and after some research I've confirmed it's In Memoriam, AKA Missing.
That's the one! A very atmospheric and immersive adventure experience I had with this one since you get mails to your real email account from some game server to continue that psychopaths gruesome game, you had to investigate faked websites and stuff like that. Nowaydays the risk is extremely high to get spoilered while googling some clues. No idea if the whole game still works.
Once again your turn, Mr. Akago! 8-)

Nope. It has nothing To do with lemmings. Except for one thing: There is a lot of death in this one too.
Is it a Polish game?...
Indeed!
Could it be "Soldat"?
Yes sir! Your turn, you beardy old man!
Such a funny freeware multiplayer 2d-shooter! It got a fantastic HD update in the last months. Give it a try if you wanna play unreal tournament/Quake/ in 2D! The zombie mode is hilarious :D
Wat 8-0 I was actually thinking of Soldat when I saw the first screenie but thought it looked too modern to be that. Course, I haven't played it in the past 10 years or so :P
I found it thanks to the Polish hint. ;)
What about this:
(http://i86.servimg.com/u/f86/18/72/89/38/guess10.png)
It looks very.... rusty. So... Rust? :=

It's a game from 1990 for Amiga, Atari ST and DOS.

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!)
I dunno much about the system that it's on or its capabilities, but this is definitely an older title ;)
Still nothing? Okay, regarding the system, this particular screenshot is taken from the Atari 8-Bit version.

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:
(http://s017.radikal.ru/i424/1605/50/09d75fe75d3b.jpg)
Woo hoo! Ark's back! :-D
Hmm, is it Septerra Core?
I've only ever played a bit of that game, but that screenshot kind of looks like it could be a cutscene in it. Although I doubt I'm right.
If I remember correctly, it's Liath: World Spiral. (or, by the Polish name, Liath: Spiralny Å Å¡wiat :))
QuoteHmm, is it Septerra Core?

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 ÛøðÃ'‚: áÿøÃ'â,¬Ã°Ã»Ã'Å' ÃÅ"øÃ'â,¬Ã°. Too bad I found out about this game only recently and running it on the modern Windows properly can be a pain...
Oh yeah. :D
So, how about this one?
(http://i.imgur.com/oN8UNcd.gif)
It's Escape from Delirium.
That was fast as well. :D Correct Gribbler!
Why does the main character in that game, look like the Guybrush Threepwood sprite from Monkey Island 2? (wtf)
Lazy artist? :P

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!
Here's the next one:

Goblins 2

Just realised that Delirium was used in this thread before.. I thought Id seen it before.. ;)
Nope. Not Goblins 2.
Wow, is that Mentor? I vaguely remember playing this game at my friend's place, who happened to be extra lucky and own the Amiga 1200. :D
I was the lucky Amiga 1200 owner, too :) With a hard drive! :D It is a Polish adventure game "Mentor".
Lucky! 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?
(http://i.imgur.com/jU38TCh.jpg)
Ah now this one I do know! It's the first playable room in Flight of the Amazon Queen. Quite a fun game (although terrible GUI! :-D)
Bingo, CaptainD! :D It was also released in March 2016 on iOS devices, as a Flight of the Amazon Queen 20th anniversary edition.
Yeah, playing it on my tablet (though using ScummVM and original version). Figures that when someone posts something I know, I always come too late to the party. (laugh)
And now for something completely different...
Yes, this is what footie games looked like long ago. Speccy owners will instantly recognise it!

FIFA, the spectrum edition? (roll)
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?
EDIT 2: Or maybe not... those players look more like children/caricatures than real people. ???

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".
Prepare to be.... AMAZED... no sign of Des though.

Although I loved that game (it was bizarre buying "Goal Cards" but somehow insanely addictive!) that's not it.
Cassie was very,
very close. When you see the answer you'll maybe think I'm being pedantic, but... maybe not.
It's Match Day II - I pass my turn to Cassie :D

Nah... now I have to think of something... bbl ;)
Okay am back with an easy one... mostly interested to know how many here played this... more than once? ;)
[IMGzoom]http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww258/Cassiebsg/Misc/3254.png[/IMGzoom]
It's Alter Ego, innit? And I never played it myself :=
Yup... I died a lot of times! Both as an infant, child and old age...
to explore that thing in from of your eyes... what is it?!
Oh.... you just discovered..... you hands! (laugh)
Alrighty then :)
[imgzoom]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/57502026/factory.png[/imgzoom]
Is that Metal Gear Solid?
Or perhaps Rainbow Six?
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.
Quote from: Danvzare on Sat 14/05/2016 10:28:55
Is that Metal Gear Solid?
Or perhaps Rainbow Six?
Nope and nope. Older than that.
Interlaced picture suggest it's from a cutscene. Command & Conquer maybe?
Good thinking, but no.
I have a feeling of having played that game, but can't find the name. :-\
@Danvzare: Think the point was exactly that, it's not so much that you reach the end, it's what you did with the life and how you managed to reach old age (assuming you reached that far. (laugh) ).
Peter Beardsley's International soccer?? I dont know. there were a few football games for Speccy
Sinsin, think you're an entire page behind. (laugh)
Bah hahahahahahahahahaha
OMG
Fade to Black??
Spycraft?
Nope on both counts.

Dang, that was too obvious, huh? :grin: Well, you got it, go right ahead.
No it was hard and well done, but the second screenshot gives hints for a proper google query.
I searched "fmv game with senator" in images and browsed hehe
I'll post something asap tonight.
What about this?
(http://i86.servimg.com/u/f86/18/72/89/38/guess11.png)
Hmm... looks like a split screen Gauntlet clone, but I can't quite place it. Unless it actually is one of the Gauntlet games, but I don't recall them using split screen.
No it's not Gauntlet and I won't call this game a clone too, even if I understand why you think about it.
Wait a minute!
I've play that game before! 8-0
It was some sort of multiplayer roguelike, and I found it about six years ago. I don't have the game anymore though, and I certainly can't remember the name, but I have definitely played that game!
Time to go find out it's name I guess.
EDIT:
And found it.
The game is called Knights.
I only had to look up multiplayer roguelike, and I found it instantly. :-D
Well done Danvzare!
It's Knights (http://hol.abime.net/4543), a PD/Freeware Amiga game.
The author made later a windows/linux port:
http://www.knightsgame.org.uk/ (http://www.knightsgame.org.uk/)
Your turn :)
I had no idea it was released for the Amiga. I played the Windows version.
Ok, how about this little gem.

Shufflepuck Cafe!?
That is indeed it := Completely random choice on my part. Go ahead, sir.
Awesome game! ;-D
That was a game? 8-0
It just looks like a really well drawn picture!
Well if it's an awesome game, I should look it up.
I spent weeks on Shuffle Puck Cafe in the 90's on my Atari ST :-D that and Logical.
I loved that too. Played it alot on my old 4/86... For me that phantom like guy was always unbeatable :D
Here comes the next. Let's see how easy that one is for you:

Red Baron?
I don't immediate recognize the the top GUI, so probably neither of my 2 guess...
Nope. Next picture is coming tonight.

The dog fight is not all this game offers.

I was thinking of that too (if that's the one released by the same guy who made the Chicken Invaders games?).
Indeed it is that funny little two player game island wars 2.
Your turn once again Amayirot Akago!

I know it's not Day of the tentacle but I say it anyways as I just did read DOTT above the NAILS :P
nice pixelart!
Indeed it isn't DOTT, but I like the way you think :=
No other guesses yet? Okay. Hint time: movie licensed game based on a famous action franchise.
MacGuyver? I can only imagine what he could come up with given access to all that stuff!
Home Improvement?

Nope.
Bladderless Runner...
Nope...
Terminator.
Quite right! One of Bethesda's earlier works, and very much ahead of its time :) Your turn!
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.
Stealing! :)

EDIT: Selmiak is excluded from guessing. He knows why :)
Ha I saw this recently as an Easter egg in some other game. But I can't remember what.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag?
Uhm... some new incarnation of Pirates maybe?
Not Pirates or Assasin's Creed.
But CaptianD is right. Who do you think it is? Looks familiar, right? :)
This Easter Egg has charted quite highly on a number of lists I've seen recently.
Been at that part of the game just a few hours ago. It's Uncharted 4.

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!
Quote"I don't know who this one is, but he looks younger than all the others..."
Yeah, and "His sigil is a monkey". :)
It is of course Guybrush Threepwood easter egg in Uncharted 4.

Lords of Chaos?
Quote from: CaptainD on Sun 29/05/2016 21:45:10
Lords of Chaos?
(wrong)
GAME BACKGROUND AND FEATURESThis 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!
Isn't that Tunnels of Doom? :)
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)

Remember playing this one with my friend on his PlayStation, jolly good times. :)
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.
that's the one. Your turn CrashPL
Awyeah. :) Here's another game from my childhood:
(http://i.imgur.com/fsb078R.png)
I only had the shareware version of this one, plus it was really confusing to navigate in the later levels, but was quite fun overall, actually.
I was working in the forums, late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my CrashPL from his slab, began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
He did the Bash, he did the Monster Bash
The Monster Bash, it was a graveyard smash
He did the Bash, it caught on in a flash
He did the Bash, he did the Monster Bash
Now that's what I call an answer. :D Yup, it's Monster Bash, your turn Amayirot Akago.

That was quick! Indeed it is; wacky game, that. Your turn!
Wow, this thread is moving fast.
Now what is the current game. Hmm. :-\
Is it Might and Magic VIII?
(http://i.imgur.com/6mOk9Kb.png)
For some reason I'm getting a TellTale vibe on this one...?
I'd suggest more like quantic dream.
Heavy Rain?
Until Dawn!
The character's name is Josh...
(I haven't played the game but have watched 2-3 complete let's plays of it on youtube...which seems to be about the same experience as playing it... (laugh) )
I know I'm right so... here's the next one:

Wild guess: The Lurking Horror?
Well done! Over to you!
Heh, being a text adventure with a clear horror element pretty much narrowed it down right there :)
I'll pass my turn on to someone else this time.
Okay, nobody else has stepped up so:

Ew, no, how could you even suggest that :=

Now that you mention it, it does look like it. Although clearly it was a good choice, since you managed to figure it out in under an hour since it was posted.
Correct! That was supposed to be a tricky one. :)
I didn't actually recognize it at first, but the overall style made me suspicious, so I did a Google search and voila.
Passing my turn to another again.
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... :)

Well, I didn't google the image itself if that's what you mean, I just googled Star Wars 1313. But I get what you mean, I suppose it would be more fair that way.

As requested:
(http://i63.tinypic.com/1z4zb6b.png)
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!).
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...
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. :)
Thought I'd choose something topical... 8-0

Risk?
Nope (I like how that would be seen as topical though! :grin:).
"No Fighting In The War Room!" :-D
Since there's word 'Radiation' in the screenshot, I'll throw my wild and blind guesses of 'Fallout' and 'Wasteland'. ;)
@Mandle - no, it's not a computer game adaptation of Dr Strangelove!
@Adeel - nope, neither of those.
I did choose a slightly trickier screenshot, but... the clue is there. There's a bit clue in terms of...
Spoiler
what part of the world the map is showing
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?
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.
Europe at war?
Aurgh so close in meaning... but it's a 2-word title. The second word is Europe. The first is closely linked to war...
Battle Europe?
Quote from: Cassiebsg on Sat 25/06/2016 23:34:42

I'm going to bed so I'm going to put people out of their misery as I thought this would be quite an easy one - Conflict Europe (sequel to Theatre Europe). "Battle" is close enough :P - Cassie take a turn please!
LOL, you should really left ppl guessing until the correct name was shout. :P
I'll be back after breakfast with a new screen, as soon as I figure out what.
EDIT
Okay, am back... sorry for the delay, I had forgotten about this. :-[
Anyway, this should be so easy that I decided to clip it. ;)

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.
It seems someone is looking for that game too :D

Well you'll have to tell him the name once you figure it out. :-D
Also, I just did a bit of research, and apparently it was originally being developed for the Amiga. But they decided to port it and only release it on Windows.

Indeed I am shocked, i didn't recognize that one in an instant! I loved this game so much. Rediscovered it a few years after it's release, bought it for a few cents in some pc games bargain bin and was mind blown. Exactly the same happened to me with another game.

Well, a duckduckgo search for "gameboy pinball crocodile" quickly brought up the name, but since this is not allowed (and there is no way I would have remembered the title otherwise) someone else has to solve this.
cat, that is allowed. You're just not allowed to reverse search the image.
Ok, it is Revenge of the Gator
Never owned the game myself (never had a Gameboy, to begin with), but I enjoyed playing it on someone else's Gameboy.

Damn. I had this game when I was young and I've been searching for it for some time.

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). :grin:

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?)
I Spy? (laugh)
Incorrect
In......
I guess.
With a number maybe...
Will turned in a hangman game ^^
This is Infiltrator I'm sure.

ARGGGHHHH!!! I was so close with "Insurgency"...Why did I go for the less-used word?!
SinSin got it! Now give us a clue while Mandle cries a little :P
Here we go !

Marvin, the green elf? (laugh)
Nope
Think it might be time for a hint?
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.
Twinworld ?
Well done Atavismus
Was a really nice game for it's time with great music loops too.
Here is a screenshot from one of the best game I ever played:

Maybe someone will find it.
If it's too hard, I'll post another in-game screenshot (but then I guess it will be too easy hehe).
I get a Beneath a Steel Sky vibe... But I don't think that's it

That would be interesting :) Hired Guns always seemed to be pretty ahead of its time.

Indeed!
But I fear modern players won't "get" the step by step/tile-based movement.
Still, Legend of Grimrock (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legend_of_Grimrock) is a recent success so why not hehe
About your picture, it doesn't seem unfamiliar to me, but I can't say where I saw it...
Ah Hired Guns, that was it's name.
I played it once during my retro gaming binge, several years ago. At least I was partly right about the name. :-D
As for the current game, hmm... Myst?
It's misty, but it's not Myst ;)

Aw well... Didn't expect it to be correct. As always it's late at night so I won't post any more stuff ATM. Anyone may steal a turn if they want, or else I'll try to post something tomorrow.
Okay...stealing it then...
Here's an easy one:

I mean, cult games mark your mind forever.
When I saw your post I immediatly thought about Deus Ex.
If my memory is right, it's the logo of the evil conspiracy or something.

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.
Okay, cheers Atavismus...here's another fairly easy one (from one of the most gorgeous-looking adventure games ever):

Oops I think that's what I meant when I said "Stealth"! (roll)
Mandle got it. It's The Room.
(http://i.imgur.com/I38lZPD.gif)
Not THAT Room ;D
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:

Adventure Island?
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!
I thought her back looked familiar. ;) I'm playing, but haven't reach that part yet.
Uhm... I now have to think of a game. 8-0 Actually the other day I though of one, but forgot it again. :-[
EDIT: AH... found this one. Brings weird memories back... worse part? I wish to play it again right now! 8-0

Close, but no. ;)
EDIT: Awww... come on! Try again! (nod)
Skool Daze 2? :-D :P
Again... does "Skool Daze 2" even exists as a name? ;)
So... have to say... no... but very very hot.

Very true, but I'm gonna need an actual name ;)
Hint: the developer is this is well-known for several shovelware titles of dubious quality released for several systems in the previous console generations and PC.
Ooh is it by the same dev that made Ninjabread Man?
Billy the Wizard?
That is it, Gribbler ;)
(http://i.imgur.com/lgUxTCS.jpg)
probably not no man sky, but still my guess.
Is this a real ingame screenshot or a screenshot where you take a picture of the screen with some external device?
Correct! :)
but it's not out yet, it'll be out tomorrow (on ps4)...
And I like exploration but it will probably bore me after 2-3 hours... or it'll be the total timesink for years to come... :D
aaanyways, what game is this?
(http://i.imgur.com/LptY2c2.jpg)
Red Dead Revolver?
nope
Bonanza: The Frontier Years?
nope ;)
GUN?
uhm... Honey, I shrank the kids? (roll)
Some Call of Juárez?
Outlaws?
or Outlaw?
I'm not even sure if that's even a real game, but I'm fairly sure I once encountered a cowboy game with a name like that.
Quote from: Amayirot Akago on Mon 08/08/2016 12:42:37
GUN?
this is it!
It's Amayirot Akago's turn. Also go play Gun, it's a really cool game! And you drink wiskey to recover your health!
Heh, only so many 3D Western games so it was easy to narrow it down ;) Haven't played it myself though but I probably should.
[imgzoom]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/57502026/whoyougonnacall.png[/imgzoom]
I dunno, that character sprite looks familiar... Freddy Hardest?
Ghostbuster, the clone? ;)
Who you gonna call? Somebody else, cause that ain't it :P
Slime World
Quite correct, Gilbert! :grin: Your turn.
Well, that's because I own the PCE version, though I haven't really played it yet.
Anyway (should've checked the forums more often), as always it's midnight here, so anyone may steal my turn, or I'll post something tomorrow if no one dares to post.
Here is a cropped one for you guys
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/G2gH0g9.png[/imgzoom]
Boulderdash?
Chip's Challenge?
nope
I am gonna give it a little bit more time before I am doing another crop. :-D
Is the character sprite supposed to be a monkey? Looks like it to me but I'm not sure if it's intentional!
Not a monkey. Its a walking person seen from above.
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/ev448rZ.png[/imgzoom]
I kind of want to ask if it's Chip's Challenge again, but you've already said no. So I'm all out of ideas. ???
Some form of minesweeper?
Bolo Ball. Played it as a kid, sucked horribly at it back then, still do :D
Correct! Me too, Amayirot ^^
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/57502026/skyline.png)
Well, this cropping stuff makes things more interesting, let's see who can guess this one.

Nope.
Down Under?
Blackwell Convergence?
(I'm pretty sure that's the entrance to the diner in the void)
EDIT: And, omg, I was going to say "a Blackwell Game?" after seeing that first screenie. I thought it might be the panning shot of NYC from the opening credits, but then I second-guessed myself and thought the buildings looked too futuristic...
That's correct, Mandle ;)
Here's the next cropped image then, because everything is more fun when you can't google image it:

(And you can probably google image it, but please don't...)
The Legend of Boggy Creek: The Game?

Suffering?
Quote from: Gribbler on Sun 14/08/2016 21:38:03
Suffering?
A quick Google search and I've already confirmed that you got it right! Thanks for introducing this game to me, mate!
Nobody has it right so far.
And no, it's not "The Suffering", but I can see why it was thought to be.
I will post another screenie soon.
P.S: Hardy-Har-Har @ the joke answers :P
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!
Is it SCP Containment Breach?
Pathologic?
Amnesia TDD/AMFP or Penumbra? Those games really got me good.

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).
Now as for my guess.

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.

It was published by two big names.

A "zelda amiga clone".
Published in 1995 by Ocean and Team 17 for AGA and CD32 (1996).

Should we hang the man? :D
Found it, The Speris Legacy.
Please check the correct year next time, I searched every 1995 AGA game on Lemon Amiga for this one :confused:

I searched every 1995 game, and every Ocean game. So I know what you mean.
I only managed to find it by looking up 1996 and Team17.
I'll let someone else take my turn.

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.
http://hol.abime.net/2055
Still, sorry for the inconvenience. :(
I've never heard of Hall of Light, but thanks for pointing me towards it. :-D
Maybe I might finally be able to find out the name of those few Amiga games I have vague memories of.

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.

These make this so much more fun.
Hmm... Maniac Mansion?

Miami Hotline?
Nope.

I now feel honour-bound to suggest Police Quest 2! (roll)
Correct :-D
(http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/321415-police-quest-2-the-vengeance-dos-screenshot-lytton-airport.png)
Funny, first time I saw it I almost wondered if it was a CGA version of Operation Stealth!
Now, I wonder how easy / difficult this one will be?...

Prince of Persia, The C64 Manic Miner Edition? (laugh)
Haha no, but an inventive guess :grin:
You're close to having the right system though.
Hmm... not really sure if posting more screenshots is going to help really - the screens look very similar.
Clues:
It only came out for the C16 / C16+4
It was released in 1986
After doing the logic thing, searching through all C16 games ever made, I think I found it...
Robo Knight?
Yup, RoboKnight! For some reason I've never forgotten this game. ;-D
Your turn!
Ok, this one is easy, so I'm cropping it some:

Cho Aniki?
Technically it's the sequel, Ai Cho Aniki, but yeah, you are correct.
Shame, I wanted to get to post more of it's art, it's so original.
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/T0b0SYs.png?1[/imgzoom]
Ah, I've seen that game before.
I'm still not sure if it's a serious game or an attempt at satire. Either way, talk about the second gayest game I've ever seen.

What was the first?
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!

(Cropped)
Apart from it looking like a horizontal shooter, I really have no idea.
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.
Syd Mead's Terraforming. Never knew before that he worked on any games for the Japanese market.
Correct!
Just passed by his page in Wikipedia. Seems that he's involved in much more design works than one could expect.
Your turn.

Ooooh, very close, just gotta narrow it down a bit.

Nope, it's not directly related to any of the movies.

There are a lot of harvest moons, Mandle. Which one is this? ;)
Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town, for the GBA.
And I pass my turn over to Mandle, since he deserves it more than me. :-D
The correct answer was "HARVEST MOON!!!", so Mandle got it spot on.
Yaaaaay!!! Now I can totes go back on my promise of not guessing Harvest Moon for anything that has a tree, rock, or grass tile in it...
Here's a cropped image of the next game zoomed in half a dozen times:

Exactly!!!
Zooming in "half a dozen" (6) times on a chessboard means you are looking at an area 1/64th the size of the whole board, which is exactly the size of one square...
Yes... it was a puzzle round!
All the clues were there in the first post for any super-genius, and the white square was an added hint for any mere genius...

Following is an actual screenshot from the game, taken during actual gameplay (minus GUI):
(http://i.imgur.com/DvlAexp.jpg)
Alone In The Dark!
No.
Alright, to make it tad simplier: what you see on screenshot is not a lack of light, but a screenshot of game enviroment. :)
Five Nights At Freddy's?
Wrong Channel?
The unprintable MAGENTA?
Noct or Darkwood?
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?
Lol sorry, that was a bad advice.
Anyway, new pic: :grin:

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:
No One Man's Penis?
Snow White (2000)?
Never mind, thought this was the movie thread... (roll)
Half Life?
Minecraft?
It looks like a picture of The End to me.
Devil Daggers?
Definitely Minecraft.
Quote from: Ryan Timoothy on Sun 18/09/2016 18:27:08
Definitely Minecraft.
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

Capitalism?
Yes, I confirm that Danvzare was right, that was Minecraft, The End dimension where you fight the dragon boss.
Aaannd... I know the name of new game (which is no Capitalism), but I don't want to play right now :).
The Sims 2? (or 3?)
Transport Tycoon (Deluxe)?

Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe to be exact. But I wasn't looking for a title that specific. ;)

Hah, no :) Right system, wrong year.
[imgzoom]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/57502026/glomp.png[/imgzoom]
I gotta be really careful picking out what to show from this game since odds are you could probably guess what it is from any random screen :D
Oddworld?
Nope, but the year of release is close.
That looks very much like one of the doors you have to unlock in:
The Dig!
The Neverhood
And Gribbler gets it :D First picture was Klaymen after jumping down the drain despite being told not to, the other was the Weasel's symbol.
Ah... funny I thought that second one looked like it, but I never actually played the game... (roll)
Cropped and tiny is the new cool.

Looks more like something out of a game manual than an actual game. ???
Murder on the Orient Express?
Beneath A Steel Sky?
Railroad Tycoon?
Red Baron?
Cruise for a Corpse?
None of the above.
HINT: It's from a dialogue screen, not manual.
Innocent Until Caught?

Nope, that was part of a level.

It has unique graphics style, top-down camera. And I recognized the ship. I played it a lot on Amiga.
Quote from: AtavismusStill, can you give us the episode?
Well, certainly not Alien Breed 3D :) If I had to guess - Alien Breed 2.
Anyway, here's the next game:

But doust thou know the secrets of Pony Island?

I've never played Pony Island. I've merely heard about it, and how weird it was. So when you said it goes through quite a few changes in style, I figured it might be that game.

Nope.

Rise of the Robots to me.
Well that certainly doesn't look like a robot to me, so no.
Though come to think it, there IS a robot in this game.
One of the Killer Instinct games?
Also no. I reckon this one's obscure enough to warrant a full screen:
[imgzoom]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/57502026/mummyvswizard.png[/imgzoom]
uhm...
Weird Mortal Combat? ;)
Mortal Skumbag? :grin:
No on both counts. The game's from 1996 and is for DOS.
Pray for Death
Correctamundo :) Not a terribly good game but I always found a kind of cheesy appeal to it, if only because FREAKING CTHULHU HIMSELF is a playable character.
What about this?
I guess it's an easy one, but who knows?

I don't have any games in mind, and I feel kind of guilty shoving so many guesses into one post, so I'm going to pass my turn on to whoever wants it.

Feud?
No... maybe more like... Ghosts and Goblins?
Some obscure version of Lemmings?
Nope and nope.
omg Amayirot your signature (laugh)
Is it a "real" old 8 bits classic or a recent retro game?
Wild guess: Castlevania
Real 8bit classic.
And wrong guess.
Ghosts'n'Goblins?

Nah, the new avatar was a spur of the moment thing and I changed it in one go. Anas referred to me quoting him ironically in my signature ;)
Uh... Undertale?
Er... hm... looks like Speccy graphics to me, could be wrong of course... Attic Attack?
Bit too many shades there for a Speccy game, I feel. Course I don't have any better ideas as it is :X
No right guesses so far..
here's a less cropped shot:

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.
The child character and the stone blocks on chains trap make me want to guess something like:
A Goonies game?
Correct Mandle!
This is Goonies for msx :-D

That was a total throwaway guess!!! I had assumed the graphics and gameplay were inspired by Goonies, but it's actually a Goonies game???
Was it any good?

I was going to guess that but remembered the background to everywhere being yellow (being sand and all) - will be disappointed with myself for convincing myself it wasn't if you turn out to be right! :grin:
Nope, it's not.
Full screen:

Well, depend if we count Electronic games. :D

Heresy! >:(
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...

Also, surely you can still do a cropped image without it being
quite as small as the ones posted? ;)
3D Pinball Space Cadet?
Minesweeper?
Solitaire?
Pong?
Space Invaders?
Chip's Challenge?
(Even though it's not a game) Steam?
(Even though it's also not a game) The AGS Editor?
Pac Man?
Wolfenstien 3D?
Doom?
I think that's most of the iconic stuff that many people would have been looking at for decades.
I'm rather hopeful about my last two guesses there. I have no idea how any of these could be related to T&A though.
Q*bert or Marble Madness?
The second screenshot looks a like goomba..
Super mario?
Nobody has it yet so I'm going to compile everything into this post:
The two screenshots:
[IMGZOOM]http://i67.tinypic.com/2i7oi2d.png[/IMGZOOM]
[IMGZOOM]http://i68.tinypic.com/11wdbx1.png[/IMGZOOM]
The hints:
* In the first picture the darker colour is the background.
* I thought the colours in the two pics would be a huge hint.
* I (jokingly) mentioned twice that anyone who guessed it could be shamed for having got it.

If that doesn't tip anyone off then I will start posting other screenies, but I imagine this should do the trick...
Still no idea. But I'm sure someone will put all the clues together.

Over to you!
Ooooooooh, now I see it.
Still, the first result I got for T&A was a female wrestling duo who were represented by red and blue. And it's only now that I understand what you meant by it with regards to your screenshots. (laugh)

You forgot Lesbians and Bisexual females, Mandle.
Wow, I didn't remember the graphics being that ugly...
Are those triangular breasts really considered erotic? I'd imagine sex with Polygon-Lara to be more a Prince of Persia like experience with those spikes...

You've got to remember, all graphics back then looked that bad, so everyone sort of imagined it looking better than it actually was.

AHEM, anyone care to venture a guess? := Let's keep the thread going, please.
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!

Still nope but Gurok was on the right track.
The Deep?
I swear I've seen a youtuber play this at some point...
Did it have something to do with facing your fears in VR, and this shark scenerio was only one of many phobias you could choose?
It's Ocean Descent from Playstation VR Worlds.
Someone else can take my turn if I'm right.
It seems to have been called The Deep and Ocean Descent at various points. As I got there first and Amayirot has given up his turn, I'll not worry about the technicalities and take the go!

AHEM I was also correct.
And so is Gurok, my pic was the scene where Sam goes into virtual reality. Your go, Gurok!

Yes, that's it! I didn't realise there'd been YouTube coverage of it recently. Your turn, Danvzare.
Here you go, a cropped screenshot from a game which I'm fairly sure isn't very well known, but which provided me months of entertainment. :-D
It also has some pretty damn catchy music in my opinion.

Nope, nothing of the sort. Can't recall Turrican ever being in a top down perspective.
Well, I tried searching for a Duke Nukem top down game, but couldn't find any... so... ??? No idea.
Not Duke Nukem either. I'll say this, the first letter of Turrican was correct, at least. And this is a DOS game.
Tunnels Of (something)?
It looks like a "bad" Alien Breed clone.
Maybe a not commercial one?
Hmm, it looks like a shareware game to me.
I've definitely never seen this game though, so no guesses from me I'm afraid. :(
It is most definitely shareware, 1995.

Alright, then. It's Time Runners, a 30-part series of adventure/platform games by Simulmondo released on the Amiga platform.

(http://i66.tinypic.com/2sam138.png)
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...
ARMA?
Or maybe the mythical Team Fortress 1?
Ace Of Spades?
Nope + nope
Counter Strike?
Quote from: Danvzare on Tue 08/11/2016 13:06:14
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:
(http://i63.tinypic.com/20z5sfb.png)
Those are two completely HUDs? ???
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.
Quote from: Danvzare on Tue 08/11/2016 14:02:06
Those are two completely HUDs? ???
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...
This is looks very much like Unreal (1?) Engine HUD there on the last screenshot.
Tactical Ops?
Quote from: Crimson Wizard on Tue 08/11/2016 14:43:15
This is looks very much like Unreal (1?) Engine HUD there on the last screenshot.
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.
Such a shame what happened to a game with so much potential.

The Dark Engine does
NOT support bump mapping. There isn't even a mod to get bump mapping onto the Dark Engine. Believe me, I've tried.
I can't get my head around the perspective of that screenshot, but somehow it does look vaguely familiar. Not entirely sure what genre it is, maybe something like And Then There Were None?

I believe what Kumpel meant was The Dark Mod ;) In case he misspoke I'll gladly pass my turn to him.
Well you're right in that it's The Dark Mod (great game by the way), I'm not sure if Kumpel misspelled it though. ???
If you did, sorry. :~(
Nope. I didn't misspell it. I just missed the fact, that this is way too good graphicwise, to be the nearly twenty year old dark engine... Amayirot hit the nail with Dark Mod.

Ah Heretic II, such a great game.
I used to watch my sister play it, years ago. But she never did complete it
I'm kind of surprised I was right though.
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.

Well, that was a joke because of the "Crocodile Cap" in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
Still don't see how PNC relates to that but that's probably just me being thick. In any case, yes, it's MGS3 :D

I even didn't notice it was 3D lol
(the crop looks a bit blurry to me)
Well, I'm lucky!
What about this?

Cool!

I first thought of Monkey Island but that's clearly not a ghost rat.
hint:
Spoiler
the cat is controllable during the game, but not in its cat form
King's Quest III?
Not kq3
Kings Quest IV?
okay... KQ2? (roll)
Not any King's Quests (roll)
Same cat, different platform:

She's not sure as hell in this game :-D
Well, if I could ram my hand down the cat's throat to get the mission assignment paper, and then later bungee-jump out of one of the presidents' noses then I would guess an early proof-of-concept build of "Sam And Max Hit The Road", but if such a thing ever existed the earth would have already been sucked into its black hole of sheer awesomeness...
So, probably not...
(laugh)

Wizball?
Quote from: janleht on Mon 21/11/2016 15:26:39
Correct!
Holy crap!
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.

Nope, nothing like that.

Hint: It's not a Sierra game.
Space Quest 0: Replicated?
It's not a Sierra fangame, either :=
Hugo's House of Horrors?
Or one of its sequels?
Either an early DOS shareware or a demake I guess...
Enclosure?
Nope on all counts. This was a commercial release from 1990.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/57502026/spiders.png)
Wow, I've really stumped you all, haven't I? Okay, next hint: another unrelated game with the exact same title as this one was released in 2011.
EARTHRISE
THAT IS CORRECT! Way to go Atavismus yet again :-D

It could make sense, but you are far from it.
I'll wait for some more answers then, if no one find, I'll post a more relevant screenshot or hints, as you wish.
You all know that cult game.
I'm sure someone can find.

Smart guesses but wrong.

Since Gurok seems to have gone AWOL I figured I'd sneak in for a quick one until he comes back.
Finally one I recognise straight away! That's the excellent Out of Order.
You're right about the title at least, but I personally found the game a bit tedious. But hey, to each their own :)

Heh, when I played it a long time ago I thought it was wonderful. No idea if I'd find it so now! :-D At that time finding a good quality freeware adventure game was a rare thing indeed, I seem to remember.
Anyway... not sure if this one's already been done or not...

Oh yeah! (nod) Was sure thoses polygons belonged to Neverwinter Nights :-D
Truly one of my favorite RPG
and now
One of the weirdest game ever
Difficult guess also, I don't think many people know this game:

Fields of Fire?
Nope, though you do set something else on fire in this game ;)
Oh...hell...I know this one...I think...
Errrrmmmmmm...
You go into the trippy art gallery and that painting will shoot you in the back with an arrow if you don't cover it up first...
Arggghhh...either I can't remember or I'm just completely wrong...
Apache vs Navajo Mahjong
Mandle's on the right track, keep going :)
Isn't that the Indian painting from the first Alone in the Dark, which does exactly what Mandle said? And if I recall correctly there was another, which threw axes at you? :D
The details are a bit sketchy but yes, CrashPL did get the game right ;) Well done, your turn.
Awyeah. :D Let's see, how about this one:

Childhood classic, one of my all-time favourites as well.
Jurassic Park?
Command & Conquer?
Half Life?
Beyond Good and Evil?
BioForge?
Quote from: Danvzare on Thu 08/12/2016 13:23:41
BioForge?
Bingo! That's the one. :) To be more specific, it's the control/security room in the very first location of the game:
(http://lparchive.org/Bioforge/Update%206/8-bioforge_040.png)
Your turn, Danvzare!
Yay I got it!
I thought it looked pre-rendered, but first I thought it was from a pre-rendered cutscene. Then I remembered game I saw in an LGR review last year, and I thought that it had a very similar aesthetic to that screenshot. I can't believe I got it right. :-D

Harvest Moon?

Hey, that's Mandle's job! (laugh)
Also, no. (wrong)
Oh, I just thought it seemed like a reasonable guess :P But other than that I have no idea.

Quote from: Amayirot Akago on Fri 09/12/2016 19:12:07
New Horizons?
Yay you got it!
What a wonderful game, better than Sid Meier's Pirates! in my opinion. I've spent countless hours playing it, but have never completed it.
Such a shame that this was the last game in the series to get an English translation. :~(
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.
I'll put up a picture ASAP.

It's not King's Knight, no.
Mighty Bomb Jack?
Retina Slayer?
Just watched a video that had a game that looks very similar to this:
Jackal?
I'm sorry, neither of these are it.
Closest so far was King's Knight, as the game has Knight in its name.
Knightmare!
That's the game, though I cheated a bit and used the PC port. Your turn, Mandle.

@CaptainD: You did not win
@Amayirot Akago: As did you not
Is it the game?
Operation Stealth?
@Gurok: You just lost the game...
Over to you! (You clever bastard)
Spoiler
As there is no way to display "The Game" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_(mind_game)) graphically I went with an interactive format until someone finally lost the game by naming it...Which Gurok managed waaaaay too easily...All should fear the Gurok!
And also just to be honest:
I just lost the game...
Ah The Game.
I've lost countless times. But at least I've won it at least once. :P
Everybody look at Mandle and groan disapprovingly.

Flight of the Intruder is correct!

Gryzor?
Tanks, but Nozor.
Contra?
That's just another name for Gryzor, so that means your guess is contrary to what would be correct :=
I'll take a punt at... oh I don't know, maybe Bionic Commando?
That's a Bionic Command-no.

You presume far too much :grin: I did not have the foggiest idea until I searched every 2D platformer on Lemon Amiga and stumbled upon the answer. It's Sqrxz 4 - Cold Cash.
Passing on my turn to whoever wants it.
What have we here?

Well done Amayirot Akago. ;)
I wondered if CaptainD would be faster.
I'm sure I read about it in http://www.indiegamenews.com/ (http://www.indiegamenews.com/)
Anyway, Sqrxz really worths a try.
It very good and has numerous ports (including windows, linux, dreamcast, wii, etc.).
http://www.sqrxz.de/sqrxz-4/ (http://www.sqrxz.de/sqrxz-4/)
Hmmm...
It remembers me Warzone 2100 but I think I'm wrong.
Looks more like Earth 2150...

Here is the whole screenshot:

The latter :=

Let's see who can figure this one out.
Civilization?
Motherload?
Dune 2?
Red Alert?
X-COM?
Wolfenstein 3D?
Doom?
These are pretty much all the games that came to mind from that one tiny screenshot. (laugh)
None right so far, but Danvzare was on the right track with some of those answers.

Motherload?
Stop it :P
I was actually serious. 8-0
The counter graphic looks like one of the ores you mine in Motherload, and I thought he might be getting tricky with us :-D
Is it another squad game?
[imgzoom]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/57502026/dontloseyourhead.gif[/imgzoom]
Not a squad game.
DOOM?
Still nope I'm afraid, but you're on the right track.

Oh, Ken's Labyrinth. That's Ken Silverman.
He sure is, and you are correct ;)
Hmmm... what about this one?
[imgzoom]https://i.sli.mg/wBX8jU.png[/imgzoom]
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.

Recognized it straight away from that second screenie! (Which doesn't happen very often so I'm pretty stoked! :-D)
It's Clockwork Empires!
(I watched Mike and Ryan play it on Cinemassacre a while back. Very weird survival/resource managment game: The genre is steampunk but also set in the world of the Lovecraft mythos. What were they smoking?!)
Wait, that game has finally been released? :shocked:
I remember first hearing about it years ago.

Gotta admit it's quite familiar. Maybe they got inspired by Stronghold, but it's hard to make an original strategy game graphically-wise

Chrille got it ;)

probably some commander keen item or the like :)
selmiak, I couldn't either... I clicked the 2x and then the 4x... but didn't help much. :-\
Too many colors for a Keen game. Turrican?
GTA V
System Shock?
Is it some kind of grenade? Looks familiar...
No to everything, but indeed it's hard.

Sneaky! Certainly fooled me. Good thing I never made my guess ;)
I'd recognize those 3D models anywhere.

Not a Fork in the Tale or Adeel's suggestion. Here's a complete screenshot:
(http://i.imgur.com/6c66q4U.png)
Don't know why but for some reason I'm thinking this might be a Silmarils game?
The Jungle Book?
Is it a Monty Python game?
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).
Whee :D Have a kitty.

Gah I thought that first screengrab looked quite familiar. I thought it was a fairly obscure movie tbf, certainly didn't know they'd made a game of it!!!

Somebody please make a guess ;_; Hint: Game's based on a series of novels.
Um... something to do with Narnia?
No, this series starts with an X (the game does not).

Xarnia? (laugh)
Honestly, I've never seen this game before in my life, and have no idea where to even begin looking for it.
Companions of Xanth?
And Chrille makes the save and earns the well-deserved next turn! :D Really did not expect this to be so hard. My hint about it being "Legendary" earlier referred to it being made by Legend Entertainment.
I was on the right track from the start it seems! I thought it was a kitty from a different game, which leads us onto the next round. Here's another kitty :-D

Well I think I've just found myself a new game to play. :-D

Aw crap... I think you may be right...
I think it's the fire at the endgame ceremony scene...

I know it's not, but I want to say this is Ponch's game about Canada! :grin: (2034 A.C. - had to look up the name.)
Indeed it's not, but I like the way you think :D
Firewatch?
No, but forests do feature prominently in this game too.
Alan Wake?
That was fast! Good job, Ben ;) Your move.
No Ben here so far... :-[
This is to keep the show running until he shows up with his screenshot.

It was tricky. :D At first I thought it's from Shantae (with all that Arabian aesthetic going on), but then I was like "wait a moment, isnt' that...?" Had to quickly jump over to the Akinator page, just to be sure.
But anyway, have this one:

Now let's see if anyone can figure this one out.

It was a fake trap, a double trap if you will. (laugh)

Phantasmagoria? (I don't know many FMV games.)
One of the Far Cry games?

Damn... I'm pretty sure that is right... Of all the triple-A games rattling around in my head how did I forget Uncharted?!
It's the scene riding up in the jeep to the volcano or something I think...

Obduction?
No. But one of the three guesses so far is close. ;)
Myst?
Riven?
The Longest Journey?
Amayirot Akago got it! Hazel's guess was very close, but it was The Longest Journey, not Dreamfall. :)
Haha, I suspected that was the case :D I pass on my turn to whoever wants it.
Several days and still nothing? Guess I'll use my turn after all on an easy one. [imgzoom]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/57502026/handoffate.png[/imgzoom]

Dragon's Lair?

No, but not far. ;)
Veil of Darkness?
There is something resembling a rod with a wire sticking out, so my guess is that the game is connected with Dr. Frankenstein :)

Dragon Sphere?
The Prophecy?
Quote from: Hazel on Wed 15/02/2017 22:24:02
The Prophecy?
Nope.
It's not a point'n'click.
It was released early 1990' on C64, Amiga, Atari ST and PC.
Danvzare was not far...
Dragon Strike?

No, there is not the word "dragon" in the title (nor the word "strike" ^^).

It's not related to Dracula.
In fact, Danvzare was not far with "Dragon's Lair" (but it's not about the title).
Quote from: Mandle on Fri 17/02/2017 12:48:54

Yes I'll do this tonight if no one find (or give a more obvious hint).
The wanted game has the same publisher than Dragon's Lair.

First one is part of a border around the screen when you meet Fatima, the second is the skull that appears whenever you die.

Nope and nope. ;) Although it features lots of jumping, but plays more like an arcade game (think Donkey Kong).

King's Quest VI?

Still none right so far.
[imgzoom]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/57502026/twosnakescomingtogether.png[/imgzoom]

No.

Quote from: Amayirot AkagoI figured the picture of the Bremen musicians over the fireplace would be a dead giveaway, dunno if that did it or what.
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.
Anyway, here's my pic. And yes, you see it right - it's a crazy man who communicates with the world using an old sock on his right hand :D

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.

I was only kidding about the two guesses!
Actually, taking another look, the two games are a lot more similar visually than I remember. I think I just prefer the art design of the first one.
Sadly I cannot see your picture but I seem to be the only one who ever gets these issues...
I can see the picture just fine, but I'm withholding my answer in case anybody else knows.
That is surely Robotrek.

No, not a PC game.
Could it be Ravenloft: Stone Prophet?
Nevermind, didn't see the last post :-D
Paper Mario
Correct :)

[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/STLOn1T.png[/imgzoom]
Surely we have to trust each other not to image search!
Is it The Ship?
I primarily crop pictures so as to not make it too obvious what the game in question might be :=
Murder On The Orient Express?
easy... The Raven :-D
Wow, that was less than a day. AmazingTash is correct! It's the Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief. Okay, your turn.
Yay! I hope that Game didn't show up yet...

Hmm, prerendered background, polygonal character, approximately PS1 style... Parasite Eve?
Is it Sherlock Holmes?
nope and nope. :grin: Some hints?
- parasite eve is older then this game
- it's an adventure game
- only on pc
Alfred Hitchcock: The Final Cut?
I don't remember any in this style but: an ALone In The Dark game?
Resident Evil 2?
The background looks similar to Syberia to me. I don't remember this place, but I'll guess Syberia?
So many great games, but not the one we are looking for.
Hints
Pc only (Crime-)Adventure game
Has two Sequels
Syberia... Really CLOSE!
The ABC Murders?
Sinking Island?
Paradise?
Post Mortem?
Left Hanging In Limbo?
Looks like one of the Still Life games.
Quote from: CrashPL on Thu 09/03/2017 07:09:13
Post Mortem?
Crash is right!
I like mystery-Adventures and this is one of my favorites.
The Still life Games are the sequels :grin:
Go Crash!
Whew, going!
Alright, who might that handsome fellow be?

Realms of Arkania?
Wizardry 8?
Reminds me of Anvil of Dawn
Lands of Lore?
Quote from: Gribbler on Tue 14/03/2017 13:40:08
Reminds me of Anvil of Dawn
Bingo! Both Danvzare and Chrille were pretty close with the genre, but Gribbler got it right. ;)
(http://i.imgur.com/COARA9Q.jpg)
One of the Zelda games?
Nope.
Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas?
That's it!
(https://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/18/72/89/38/me10.png)
(Me, finishing some game's story...)
Oooooh that looks familiar... Warhammer?
Death Gate?
One of the D&D Goldbox games?
Bard's Tale?
The Name Of The Rose?
(no idea if there was even a game of it, but it sure looks like a scene from that story)
Nope to all.
It's not an adventure or rpg game.
It was released on Amiga and PC(Dos).
Elf?
Hmmmmm... I'm guessing it's a strategy simulation...
Powermonger?
Machiavelli the Prince?
Quote from: Mandle on Thu 16/03/2017 12:56:54
Hmmmmm... I'm guessing it's a strategy simulation...
Powermonger?
It's not the great Powermonger nor Machiavelli the Prince.
It's not a strategy simulation the way you seem to think, but you need strategy.
Pirates?
Oh really..
Could it be King's Table?
Quote from: dayowlron on Thu 16/03/2017 20:03:15
Oh really..
Could it be King's Table?
Yes it is!
"King's Table: The Legend of Ragnarok" is based on Hnefatafl (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tafl_games) (kind of viking chess).
Wow, was a shot in the dark. just remembered it when you put "boardgame".

It's the first one, actually, but I'll give it to you anyway ;)
Haha well I had been debating between 1 and 2 :P
Okay let's see if anyone knows what this is from:

Just what... what... what is that?!?! :shocked:
I have no idea. But it's a disturbing visual, whether or not it's supposed to be!
One of the GTAs?
American McGee's Bad Day LA?
I didn't know there's a game with Ryan Reynolds :)
Sorry for the late reply. Also, all nope.

Tony Hawk's Plastic Surgery Revival Deep Impact Skate Dreams Pro Simulator?

Tony Hawk's Plastic Surgery Revival Deep Impact Skate Dreams Pro Simulator?
That's correct!
Probably the best in the series as well. Your turn. :-D
By the way, it's Tony Hawk's Project 8
8-0 8-0 <-- This is for the scary picture
8-0 8-0 8-0 8-0 8-0 <-- This is for the even more bizarre answer

(Only the "Tony Hawk's" bit was actually correct.)
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?
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jmXDdvJAn5U/WNGpp4uDWJI/AAAAAAAAo2g/7s4617mOKykZcG9xoENpIfaEC9TOH_bnQCLcB/s320/Screenie%2B11.png)
Age Of Empires?
Nope. Right style of game though. (I'll give you that much as a clue since it's obvious anyway! (laugh))
Pharaoh
Quote from: Gurok on Tue 21/03/2017 23:27:58
Pharaoh
Wha.... I really didn't think it would go this quickly. You're quick correct - pretty good game.
Your turn!
Thanks for picking a Sierra game! :D
Here's one for you. Just the top half, to make it harder:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/ICWXR1A.png[/imgzoom]
Dwarf Fortress?
Not Dwarf Fortress, but that's the right genre.
Rogue or Nethack?
Ancient Domains of Mystery?
CrashPL got it! Well done!
Yeah! I spent so much time playing ADOM as a kid, it's all coming back now... ah, good old times.
Alright, here's one I re-played recently. What could that be?

Yeah well, all the Tony Hawk's games are basically the same. I wasn't going to make anyone list every single Tony Hawk game just to get the right answer. :-D
Hmm...
The Settlers?
Or maybe Virtual Villagers?
Theme Park?
Roller Coaster Tycoon?
No and no and no. :D First hint: a PlayStation title, not a strategy game.

And we have a winner!
I was thinking about posting a cropped image of a poop comic-bubble as well, but I guess it would make it too obvious. :P
Your turn, Danvzare!
I remember always wanting to play that game when I was younger, but never being able to find a copy when I finally had the money to get it. >:(

A Diablo game?
Neverwinter Nights?
Spellforce?
War For The Overworld?
Torchlight?
Dungeon Keeper?
All wrong.
Although there were two guesses that were close. ;)
Dungeon Master?
Torchlight 2? :-D
Nope, and nope. (laugh)
Dragonshard?
Beyond Divinity?
Still nope.
If no one gets it by Monday, I'll post another screenshot.

X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse?
Nope, but same year (1994).
Rise Of The Robots?
Quote from: Mandle on Tue 28/03/2017 14:52:16
Rise Of The Robots?
Nope, it's not a beat'em-up.
Going by your tastes, it's probably an Amiga game, so.... The Chaos Engine?

Well done CaptainD. ;)
Yay! :-D Haven't played the original Captive once but as soon as you said the original was on ST but not the sequel, it made me think of it. That screenshot features very Bitmap Brother's-esque graphic style and palette, which I think misdirected people too.
How about this one:

Now that looks vaguely familiar. But I can't quite put my finger on it.

Drakkhen?
I think I have played this game before. Sometime around the mid 90s a DOS game looked like that. I wanna say Dark was in the title
Darkwoods?
Darklakes?
Darklands?
Cool. I thought I had played it before just wasnt sure what it was called.
ok, here is mine. This will probably be a very easy one.
(https://s16.postimg.org/qvjoqod39/P29737.png)
Populous.
Go for another one ;)
OK, give me a sec and I will get another one, just loved that game when i used to play it

Late to the party... :~(

That was pretty damn quick, Chrille :D Nice work.

It's a fun thread!
Hint: It's a Sierra game, though not an adventure.
Air Bucks?
Nope, but that rhymes with part of the game's title :-D
Donald Duck's Playground?
Sierra's 3-D Helicopter Simulator?
(Yes, I know that's a plane. This was just closest in theme I could find after a quick search.)
Donald Duck's Playground is correct :)

So, not an FPS, adventure game or action game...
Quote from: CaptainD on Wed 05/04/2017 18:15:54

Judge Dredd?
Rogue Trooper?
(Just based on the art style)
Nope guys.
Here is an in-game screenshot:
(https://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/18/72/89/38/yo10.jpg)
It's a good but not that known RTS.
Seven Kingdoms 2?
I think i did play that one. Had a very "generic" name.
Initial Army?
Original Army?
Original War?
Initial War?
Cool, will put up a screen shot later.
Probably be an easy one to guess.

I thought that one would go quickly. Yes it is.
My first thought was actually Master of Orion but somehow that game came to mind and voila :D
[IMGzoom]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Snake101/canyon.png[/IMGzoom]
Could it be Breathless?
(One of the few/late Amiga FPS)
It's the weirdest thing... that sprite reminds me so much of Ocean Spirit Dennis!!! :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
Hmm those textures look familiar... Dark Forces?
Quote from: Chrille on Fri 07/04/2017 09:18:10

That's 100% dark forces.
Level 2 I think well, maybe not exactly 2, but one of the first ones. :=
It is indeed Dark Forces, and the turn once again goes to the ever-observant Chrille :)
:-D
[imgzoom]http://www.gaspop.com/randomness/namethegame027.png[/imgzoom]
Anachronox?
Nope, but it's from the same year.
[imgzoom]http://www.gaspop.com/randomness/namethegame028.png[/imgzoom]
Mega Man Legends?
Nope, it's a building/management-sim type of game :)
I was under the impression that this game was fairly well known :-[
Here's another hint: Bullfrog Productions (developer relation)
I know it, but I'm waiting to see if anyone else does ;)
My intention was to make this an easy round, and certainly not to stall the game. I guess I should be glad that someone knows it at least :-D
Final hint: Spacestation
Startopia?
That's it! Your turn, Crash ;-D
Aw yeah. :D Alright, how about this one?
(http://i.imgur.com/Oy4qQbQ.png)
Going by the artstyle, Conker's Bad Fur Day?
No, although it is a 3D platformer. ;)
Rayman 2?
Yup, it's a switch from Rayman 2. ;) Your turn!

Yeah, it's Rain World... I just watched Markiplier play it last week.
It is.
No game in mind for the moment, so I give my turn to whoever wants it. ;)
(I found Z too and was "proud" but Nihilyst was quicker :D)
Really, nobody??
Then let's enjoy this obscure pixel masterpice (which belongs to an actual game)
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/Z3sx8Hm.png[/imgzoom]
That is freakin' AMAZING!!!
Erm... A Castlevania game?
The actual ingame graphics unfortunately can't hold up to this map screen.
But nope, no Castlevania
Btw. they really just used 32 colors for this pic.
Nosferatu on SNES?
Nope.
Don't remember the title, but think it is a 1st person shooter for one of the game consoles (not a pc game).
If I think of the title I will guess it.
Is it a vampire game?
dayowlron is veeery close.
@Atavismus: For strange reasons you kill aliens in that game. Maybe you are the vampire and need to clean your castle? I have no clue :)
two more hints: it's running on a quite unsuccessful 32 bit console and it was developed by a french team.

3DO or Jaguar?
(I hope it's not CD32 lol)
The Jag has 64 bits !
(on paper ... err.. DO TEH MATH! :D )
but no, neither on the Jaguar nor on the 3DO
OH!
It's "FEARS" on CD32!
I don't deserve the point, someone else go instead. ;)
(Mind, I don't want to open a debate about Jaguar because Amiga and Atari are brothers but... :D)
Correct! I just love Amiga artwork (which also includes your Yersinia assets (nod) )
Let's give dayowlron this one since he almost got it. Was Fears even released in the US?

Doesn't ring a memory...
I thought about Premiere, but it's not I guess.
I have a Core Design feeling, but nothing sure.
(laugh)
It is not from Core, but the publisher is well known.
Here's an ingame shot (at least the backdrop)
(http://i.imgur.com/JlzKBmF.png)
Have I mentioned that this is all in 16 colors? Crazy people, those mid-early devs :)
Who needs boring photorealism when you have such pixel art beauty? ;)
Could it be "Weird Dreams"?
The gameplay of this one is much much better than Weird Dreams.
It's a puzzle game btw. In the meantime, let's enjoy more of its art 8-)
(http://i.imgur.com/a6PuUVP.png)
Mega Lo Mania?
Nope
I seem to recall there being a game based on Monty Python's Flying Circus, this seems like maybe it would fit...?
Sorry, it's not related to Monty Python.
It's a puzzle game btw. I could also provide an ingame screenshot, but that would be quite disappointing (although it is not a Qwix clone)
Random guess: Humans? (1, 2 or 3 ^^)
Well, technically the game contains humans ;)
Here's the last screenshot
(http://i.imgur.com/ZsYxxnQ.png)
I should visit this thread more often..
Devious designs 8-)
Perfect! That's it!
Crap! Too late!
Well, I played (or browsed) many many Amiga games but not that one!

Yay! :D Came across the game years and years ago on Home of the Underdogs. Never did figure it out but it had nice art if nothing else.

Deathtrap Dungeon?
No, but it is a PS1 game also.

Hint: this GUI only shows up at the very start of the game.

I love that in your encyclopedian mind of games that you think a hint like that means something for regular joes... (laugh)
Well, I didn't wanna make it too obvious, but also wanted to make it clear the picture wasn't a common thing ;) Tho I suppose *maybe* I took it a bit too far.
Ahem:

Could this pixel porridge be "Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain"?
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)

No no my dear Amayirot Akago, real pixel art is not porridge at all. ;)
8-16 bit for life! :D
Well, I'll try to find a game now.
Something easy maybe:
(https://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/18/72/89/38/easy10.png)
Defender of the Crown?
Ramparts?
Funny thing is I've never actually played the game but recognised it instantly!
Okay this one may well be obvious even though I've cropped out 98% of the screen... we'll see.

Is that... Gollum?
Shuffle Puck Café ?
@Mandle - nope, it's a little critter called "Visine Orb".
Astauber has it! Over to you...
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 :)
Next:

Which one? Void Quest? :P
Smash T.V.?
Nope and Nope.
Ikari Warriors?
Quote from: Atavismus on Wed 19/04/2017 11:33:02
Ikari Warriors?
Nope... but released in the same year.
I don't get the joke :-\ There is no picture displayed on my screen.
But I guess anyway: Commando?

Into The Eagle's Nest...?
Rambo?
Alright, it's displayed on the phone - still nothing on this browser
I second "Into the eagles nest" :)
I third "Into the Eagle's Nest"!
Er..
@abstauber - I wasn't sure whether you genuinely couldn't see anything or if you were making some awesome joke that I totally didn't get!!! :-[
Okay, over to Atavismus.

LEGO Rock Raiders?

LEGO Rock Raiders?
Nope, but googling it, I understand why you thought about it.
Is it good?
Mind, "my" game is not related to LEGO.
I have no idea, I've never played it :P
Elite Dangerous?
Quote from: dayowlron on Wed 19/04/2017 19:30:35
Elite Dangerous?
Nope, it's not a "simulation" game.
Wargames?
No pixels, no clue ;)
err.. Total Anihilation?

Total Annihilation (a very nice one!) is older.
Emperor: Battle for Dune?

No, it's not a game related to Dune and our game is a bit older.

And younger ppl could think Amiga is just useless and outdated.
One of the Civilization series?
Quote from: dayowlron on Thu 20/04/2017 15:05:36
One of the Civilization series?
Nope, real time, not turn-based.
(I'll post another screenshot tonight or tomorrow if needed)
One of the Starcraft games?
Command & Conquer?
Sins of a Solar Empire?
Supreme Commander?
Quote from: dayowlron on Thu 20/04/2017 16:21:30
Command & Conquer?

Nope.
Game is from 2000.
Starship Troopers?
Quote from: Amayirot Akago on Thu 20/04/2017 17:02:19
Starship Troopers?
Nope.
Sum up: You are looking for a RTS released in 2000.
Not a big name, but not an obscure one.
RedSun?
Earth 2150?
Ground Control?
Thandor?
I am just throwing darts at a dartboard hoping one of them sticks.

Metal Fatigue?
Maybe give a new screenshot?
Quote from: Amayirot Akago on Fri 21/04/2017 04:07:58
Metal Fatigue?
Yes it is. ;)
(RTS lovers should try it, it's an interesting one with some nice innovations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Fatigue_(video_game)).)
Another game I remember reading/hearing about that I never played :D
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/aIZEzBU.png[/imgzoom]
Now let's see who has played this one.
Looks like Tex Murphy, maybe
Goldeneye?
Negatory on both, but it is on PC.
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/yUqeYbz.png[/imgzoom]
Hint: 1997 game.
I know this. It's a 4cd shooter with lots of cool fmvs. Realms of the Haunting?
Is it a Doom mod?
Quote from: Gribbler on Sat 22/04/2017 10:15:40

That is indeed correct :)
(http://i.imgur.com/N8udRBO.jpg)
Final Fantasy: The Gay Within
Shenmue?
Nioh?
Danvzare is correct!
It was an easy guess, I'm surprised no one else got it before me.
[imgzoom]https://biobreak.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/ko4.jpg[/imgzoom]
This should be easy for anyone who has played this.
Run Like Hell?
Erm... something about Dead Space?
Quote from: Mandle on Tue 25/04/2017 13:38:10
Erm... something about Dead Space?
Nope. It came out before Dead Space did.
Lifeline?
Looks like KOTOR.
Quote from: Gribbler on Wed 26/04/2017 00:21:49

It's KOTOR 2 to be precise. But I'll let you have it. Your turn.

[imgzoom]http://www.gaspop.com/randomness/namethegame029.png[/imgzoom]

Not Mario, but there's definetely a relation ;-D
Quote from: Chrille on Wed 26/04/2017 21:45:46
Not Mario, but there's definetely a relation ;-D
Well actually I had been meaning to say Mario or Luigi! (laugh)
Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games maybe?
:-D
Wrong type of sport!
Mario Kart then?
Well, Mario Kart 8 and Luigi's infamous death stare to be precise ;-D. Your turn again :)
[imgzoom]http://www.gaspop.com/randomness/namethegame030.png[/imgzoom]
Haha I've only played Mario Kart Wii and the version that came out on GBA. Don't remember the stare being quite so intense (but thought he looked similar before throwing the javelin in M&S at the Olympics! :grin:)
Okay how about a change of pace? Have taken out the highly identifiable player character.

Jungle Jane?
Jill of the Jungle?
The letter J does not appear in the title of this game.
Pitfall?
Nope.
Clue: it was one of a popular series of games featuring the same character on the 8-bit computers.
Donkey Kong?
Non-Spectrum palette...
Platformer...
8x8 tiles...
Trees...

Ultima Underworld 2?
Absolutely, yes. A classic!
And as usual I've never even played it :=
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/m8rPtTV.jpg[/imgzoom]
I was gonna guess a TMNT game until I zoomed to x4 and took a closer look (laugh)
That is indeed not it. Since this is a hard one I'll give a hint: PC and PS1 game.

Agent Armstrong?
Wow...that was so dumbed down that even maybe I got it!
Quote from: Mandle on Fri 28/04/2017 15:39:37
Agent Armstrong
Don't be silly, it's Operative Aldrin. Or possible Master Spy Gagarin.
Agent Armstrong is indeed right ;)
One of my favorite games of all time:
(http://www.old-computers.com/museum/software/Combat%20(1977)%20(Atari)%20%5B!%5D_10.png)
And also easiest to guess of all time...
(Let's allow some new blood into the thread... ;) )
Star Wars?
(wrong)
Pipe vs Wheelsnakes?
Atari 2600...
Early (because no sky gradient :) )
Is it Combat?
I think so:

Quote from: Kweepa on Sat 29/04/2017 17:19:24

Is sure is! Such a great game in 2-player mode and amazing they fit so many modes in. Years ahead of its time!
Your turn!
It is amazing, particularly since it's a 2k cartridge!
Ok...
[imgzoom]http://www.kweepa.org/step/ags/namethegame02.jpg[/imgzoom]
Mugen?
Nope.
It is a 2d fighting game with large sprites though.
It's a DOS title from 1992, written by two teenagers.
Executioners?
That's it!
Your turn.
Quote from: Kweepa on Tue 02/05/2017 23:23:01

Oh, wow. I got it right. I wasn't expecting that. Um... how about this one:
(http://killapenguin.com/227/gallery/medium/contraptionmaker/contraption-maker-0006.jpg)
The Incredible Machine?
I guessed it could be a trap. :D
Contraption Maker?
Heath Robinson, Inc. ?
Quote from: Atavismus on Thu 04/05/2017 11:51:17

Contraption Maker?
Yep, you got.
Sorry for the late reply. Your turn. :)
I give my turn to anyone who want it. ;)
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/aFKrsPm.png[/imgzoom]
Then don't mind if I do ;)
(hope this one ain't too obscure again...)
Looks almost like Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas.
So uh... A Vampyre Story?
Bettlejuice?
Nah, it's not based on any pre-existing property.
Heart Of Darkness?
No, but this was on PS1 as well as a multitude of other systems.
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/9zPsisZ.png[/imgzoom]
Brain Dead 13?
Bingo :-D One of my all-time guilty pleasures just for the death scenes and Fritz. Oh, and Vivi :-[
Your turn!
Well, I actually own the game but never was motivated to really play it. It looked quite good for a FMV game though.
Anyway, as it is midnight here, so anyone could steal my turn. If no one has done so later I may post something.
If nobody else wants to, I'd like to ask:
Who else played this:
(http://i.imgur.com/MD7oMPB.png)

Yes it's related to Psygnosis. ;)
Wait is that a cut scene screen from Shadow of the Beast?
Yeah Psygnosis can't be denied.
But it's not from Shadow of the Beast.
And the main "character" sprite is very disappointing. So much, that I though my copy was broken :D
Suicidal tribe of Tabatas?
Ork?
This should give it away.
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/hEBwUlM.png[/imgzoom]
Is it a Pinball game?
Nope, it's more like a mixture between Soccer and Billiard
Ballistix. Also released for the PC Engine.
Yes, that it!
Could be easy to some people.
[imgzoom]http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr249/gilbot/Tomato_zpsucin7fai.png[/imgzoom]
Dr. Chaos?
Oh I've seen that! :-D What was it called now... Ikari Warriors?
Right Danvzare! The Famicom version developed by the (in)famous Micronics.
Your turn.
Yay, I remembered the name correctly! :-D
Sorry about the quality on this screenshot. There's no way I'd be able to take screenshots of it myself, so I'm having to make do with online sources.
[imgzoom]http://www.donttellmetheending.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/dokapon-board.jpg[/imgzoom]
An Alex Kidd game?
It reminds me of Mario Party 8 on the Wii.
Dokapon Kingdom :D One of the best (and most infuriating) party games I've ever played. Still following TheRunawayGuys' video series on it too :)
Someone else can take my turn if they like.

I just wish it was easier to get the damn game. >:(
Let's keep this thread alive:
(http://i.imgur.com/j4qkeoq.jpg)
One of the many Sherlock Holmes games?
Not a Holmes game.
Aw shit.... I've seen a let's play of this game but can't remember the name... Maybe it will come to me...
Pirates of the Caribbean?
Not pirates.
Alone in the Dark?
Nope.
Amerzone?
Not Amerzone.
Hint: Something from the screen is in the title of the game.
The Sacred Amulet?
The Treasured Medallion?
None of those.
Hint 2: The game was released in 2007.
Another screenshot

Yeah, and it was released in 2005...so not viable... Hmmmm.... But it sure looks very much the same... Same engine/studio perhaps?
Not the same studio. Don't know about the engine.
HINTS:
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.
Runescape?
Nope
A Van Helsing game?
Not Van Helsing.
Another hint: The game takes place on a remote island and you're a detective.
Shutter Island?
Quote from: Amayirot AkagoShutter Island?
There was a game? No, that's not it.
That's what the game looks like most of the time:
(http://i.imgur.com/ilSWGJe.jpg)
Dead Reefs.
Correct.
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/CT0BMcI.png[/imgzoom]
Let's see who knows where this handsome devil is from.
A superhero ega game?
Uh... I have no idea. Comix Zone maybe?
Also, I had never heard of Dead Reefs until today. I guess all of my guesses were in vain. :-D
I hadn't either, but I was able to deduce it from the hints that Gribbler gave ;) And no, it's not Comix Zone.
Ok. I actually owned this game, but just checked mobygames to make sure I was correct.
(The title theme in PC speaker sound won't go away from inside my brain!)
The Amazing Spiderman and Captain America in Dr. Doom's Revenge
Correct, and that's a hell of a title to boot ;) Had it myself but never got very far with it, the fighting is kinda crap :P Go ahead, Gilbert.
I think that game looked really good. Maybe it controlled badly but I was easily satisfied at the time.
Anyway:
[imgzoom]http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr249/gilbot/Reproductive_Stalker_zpsou5kkol6.png[/imgzoom]
Um, Worms on Apple II?
Nope.
[imgzoom]http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr249/gilbot/ExPlOsIoN_zpsqcmnvlpk.png[/imgzoom]
It's definitely an early-ish Apple II game.
Sea Dragon.
Correct! Hear its speech for full effect!
Your turn, Kweepa.
Sorry about the delay!

Gilbert Goodmate and the Mushroom of Phungoria?
What's Eating Gilbert Grape?
Oops...sorry... wrong thread...
You're right that it's the name of the developer!
Puzzle Bots?
One of the Monkey Island games?
One of the Backyard sports games?
The Blackwell Legacy?
Emerald City Confidential?
A Golden Wake?
Two of a Kind?

None of these guesses are correct.

It's been over a week. Maybe post a new screenshot?
Sorry about the posting delay!
Mandle, that's it! Take it away!
Hehe... I only got it because of your "Look below..." hint.
I've never heard of the game, but will have to check it out!

And it's AGS (laugh)
The Unprintable Magenta?
Nope..
Clue:
Spoiler
the developer is an active member of Name the Game
Mega Clue:
Spoiler
if the developer didn't Name the Game I would shame them for a long, long time (laugh)
Predators Prey For Plants?
Wrong..
Another clue:

Postman's Quest?
I am absolutely flattered that somebody knows my crappy game well enough to recognize that little alarm clock, or even just to have it on this quiz :D
Anyway, the new one: N (or one of its many, many re-releases like N+)?
that's the one :D
(http://i.imgur.com/K2XTuiJ.png)
CS:GO? (wtf)
Nothing of the sort ;)
(http://i.imgur.com/ErQ3f27.png)
No other guesses yet so here's a quick new cropped screen. Also, the soldiers are not the main characters in this game.
A Deus Ex game?
(http://i.imgur.com/DssDuFR.png)
Also no. Hint: not a first person game.
A Batman game?
Some Metal Gear game?
That it's supposedly to be depicting where I am living is a bit unsettling.

You live in massive Himilayan monastery?! 8-0
One of the Rainbow Six games?
No Batman, no Metal Gear, and no Rainbow Six, I'm afraid. But it is part of another long running series.
One of the Call of Duty games?
Or one of those Battlefield games?
Splinter Cell Series?
(http://i.imgur.com/IkqSQLy.png)
Suppose maybe I should be a bit more clear about the theme of this game := And no, not Splinter Cell.
Devil May Cry? :-\
Mortal Kombat?
Quote from: CrashPL on Mon 12/06/2017 18:50:29
Mortal Kombat?
Yessirree, Mortal Kombat X to be precise ;)
Ah yes, I had a feeling I've seen these scenes somewhere before. ;) Had a go in Mortal Kombat X with a friend several times.
Too bad I totally suck at fighting games in general.
Alright, here's mine:
(http://i.imgur.com/JevNQ3u.png)
One of the Alone In The Dark series?
Close (especially when considering one fact), but no. ;)
Little Big Adventure 2, I pass my turn over to anyone who wants it.
Precisely. :) Both Alone in the Dark and Little Big Adventure were designed by the same man - Frédérick Raynal.
Well, anybody got some another screen?

Hah, you're not the only one ;) Most enjoyment I get outta MK is the story mode and unlocking everybody's Fatalities.
Here's next:
(http://i.imgur.com/ZAmSRuC.jpg)
Could be Robin Hood...
Diablo?
Both incorrect.
Spellforce 2?
Baldur's Gate, or Icewind Dale?
I have the weirdest feeling that this exact same screenshot has appeared on this thread before. (If it has though, I still don't remember what it is! (laugh))
Danvzare is close.
Pillars of Eternity?
Morrowind?
One of the Ultimas?
Dragon-Age? Dragon-Age 2?
Amayirot Akago is correct.
Woohoo! Don't wanna hold up the thread with one of my weird picks so I'll give it up to whoever wants it ;)
Alright I'm posting two because I think the first one below is too easy :-D
(http://i.imgur.com/GfhsAmz.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/KmD08qN.png)
Any ideas???
I think the first one is Hugo's Whodunit.
The second, I don't know.
2nd= Tunnels Of Doom?
Yep! First is Hugo's Whodunit.
No, not Tunnels of Doom.
Second one requires a hint: sort of mid-nineties weird shareware. Was somewhat popular for its day...
Quest Creator?
Nope
Time Bandit?
No.
I'll give the answer tomorrow morning if no one gets it. Don't want to hold up the thread with a quirky one.
Well, I didn't wanna answer just in case someone else knew, but I did happen to run across this game a while ago on My Abandonware. It's Skull Quest.
I reckon Gurok should take it since he guessed the Hugo screenie.
Yes! Well done. Didn't think anyone would get that. ;)
Every time I think I've found something too obscure, someone guesses it. Let's try this one (portion of a screenshot):
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/af1CIQd.png[/imgzoom]
Looks like one of these comic maker programs that came out in the nineties. That's more of an observation than a guess.
Looks to be one of those old joke AGS games that I saw a long time ago, but I have no idea what it might be called.
:O
I've stumped Amayirot! And it was released by a fairly major publisher too!
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/pvh4bWe.png[/imgzoom]
Side-scroller, 1990s
Edit: Not AGS
Winblows 98? ???
I'm really not that hard to stump :P I may know a lot but I don't know everything.
At any rate I figured out the game in question is Ultimuh MCMLXVII: Part 2 of the 39th Trilogy - The Quest for the Golden Amulet. Someone else can go next.
Holy crap I would have never got that!
(https://thumbs.gfycat.com/TalkativeSlushyBunny-size_restricted.gif)

Mel Odius Goes Six String Searchin'?
I think we've had that one before.

Is it any good?

Come on Ben, do your thing.
Sorry, guys! Thanks, Cassie for reminding me.
Here's one:
(http://i.imgur.com/U72doFX.png)
Oh Danvzare, Ultimuh is terrible. It's more of a sidescroller than anything resembling an Ultima game.
Um... Math Quest? Math Invaders?
Math Blaster?
Math Effect? 8-)
I think this game predates all of those guesses. There was a game back in the mid 80s I think that looked similar to that. Just can't remember the name. Something like Math Buckets.
Funnels & Buckets
Makes me reminisce about that huge ass track ball in the elementary computer lab! :-D
Pretty sure I got it but I'll wait for Gurok to post mine :)
/me presses space bar :-D
Anyways here's the screen with the name so I'll go ahead and post mine next.
(http://i.imgur.com/l0v203g.png)
Now for mine :) Let's see if anyone recognizes it.
(http://i.imgur.com/AQCAKGH.png)
Yes, you got it. Sorry for not replying sooner.
Morgan, I think that's King's Quest 5 on NES, no? Sort of a trick question there. :-D
All In The Game (or its sequel)?

Morgan, I think that's King's Quest 5 on NES, no? Sort of a trick question there. :-D
I was thinking the exact same thing. (laugh)
That is indeed King's Ques V on NES :) Not sure how many here played that version.
I actually never played the NES version, but I remember buying a walkthrough book that included several NES games and that was one of them. Thought the crap graphics compared to the PC were so funny. (laugh)

Aw I actually knew TSL one straight away but didn't see it early enough!
This new one? Er... I got nothing.
Swan?
Nope, it's not an adventure :)
de blob?
Nope, no puzzles involved, but good guess ;-D
Splatoon or its sequel?
The red paint reminds me of alice in wonderland, or splatoon
really not unfinished swan? Hmm, I need t find colorful adventure then ok...
Tag? no it is not adventure either
there was a mario game i forgot the name (tried searching to no avail) which he had like a paint cannon/gun? As far as i remember the gun had also a backpack thing that mario had on. It was 3d so not 2d classic mario era
Super Mario Sunshine, but it can't really be that either
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
Well I was going to say Splatoon but I thought it looked older than Splatoon. Guess I was wrong.
^by the way nice work on Dare 2 Dream, Morgan. Very surprised anyone got that!
Splatoon or its sequel it is! Well done :-D

It's DOOM 3 so manifest class gets it ;) Interestingly both Prey and Quake IV used the same engine, so it's interesting that both were guessed based on this one screen :D

Shoot now I wish I'd chosen a more obscure pic from the game! This one is more a race to see who first views my post!! LOL (laugh)
Lunapark tycoon?
No!
I remember I played this kind of adventure game has some fantastic story but cant remember name.
Railcoaster runned by some witch, is this it?
Haha no! But now I want to play that game! 8-)
Amuse Park?
Sorry, couldn't find that game's name either (searched like 45 minutes) :D I am really bad at googling. What is that game you post, it makes me crazy!
In this game there is a search for something...
A second screenshot:
(http://i.imgur.com/Rzg27aQ.png)
Lester Manley 1?
Yep. 8-) Otherwise known as Search for the King. I LOVED that game way back when.
I can't post anything right now. I pass my turn to whoever wants it.
Ok Gribbler I'll jump in :)

morrowind?
Dont remember the title, but I think i have played that. it was an FPS game. the title was something like "Betrayer"?
Oh, i didnt see modern gun at first. Is that thr game where you get into an island and it sometimes gets black and white and sometimes colorful?
Betrayer it is! dayowlron can take over :-D
Really? It was a guess. Well I will put one up shortly.

The game has a built-in B&W mode so it's fair ;) In any case you are correct.
Ha ha, hmmmm...!

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!
Your turn, dayowlron. ;)
yeah, my son is just a few years younger than u and he enjoyed it and i would watch him playing it sometimes.
Here is mine: Should be easy for anyone who has played the game.

Good times ;)

Pitfall?
Yes, but which one? ;)
Pitfall VS Jason?
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.
Correct ;)
I am out of ideas at the moment, so anyone can steal a turn.
I have a quick one.
(https://s17.postimg.org/e3asbsyrz/201ov.png)
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...
Neither one of those.

It's short and lets you take colourful screenshots. Nothing you HAVE to play, though.
I see, thanks. :) It does sound a bit like an interactive screensaver, but at least it looks different.
It's a "walking simulator" with the gimmick that you only can see what your scanner touched.

You're close - right hero, wrong game :wink:
Tex is the best detective! :cheesy:
Martian Memorandum?
Gilbert got it right :grin:
Your turn, Gilbert
OK.

As I think photobucket is disabling image hot-linking for non-paid users now I try to use imgur.com for this. Can anyone see the image? (I cannot, as I'm using a very old browser, and hot-linked images haven't shown here for quite some time now.) 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.
Thank you Frodo! I thought that all the options, including the hot-link was listed on the right like Photobucket.

You had to right click and copy image address, what you had was the album address.
Worlds of Ultima 2: Martian Dreams.
Correct! (And there're some "connections" with the last game, right? :grin:)
Thought this won't get long already.

Test Drive?
(Or probably not. I remember another game where you could design a car, checking wind flow and whatever, but I couldn't remember its name.)
Found it. It is literally called Car Builder (http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/car-builder).
Yes, that's correct! I thought early 80s edutainment would be more obscure than that :D. Well done.
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.
Anyway, since I was having a round not long before, I'll pass this to whoever hijacks this thread first.

Haha, no worries. Yeah, I played it a lot too, but the DOS version above. I think I just enjoyed making the worst possible boxy car designs.
How about this one?
(http://gury.atari8.info/img/s/stickybear_basket_bounce_10.png)
Seems nobody here has much of a clue ??? How bout a new screenie and/or a hint?
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
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.
Stickybear Basketbounce?
Yes! Stickybear Basketbounce. World's worst game title. (laugh)

Nope.

I don't know, but it looks amazing. Is that dragonmen dropping into a courtroom? Oh wait! Are those ghosts maybe?
Ghostbusters!
Ghostbusters II on Game Boy, yes ;) Your turn!
I had no idea there was such a cute looking Ghostbusters game on the Game Boy.
Probably too easy, but I don't care. This part stumped me for months as a kid... before the joys of internet walkthroughs.

HanaIndiana, is the answer a snail?;) seem to remember that and not sure of the name of the game.
Conquests of Camelot.
King's Quest IV?
Gribbler got it! :cheesy: Conquests of Camelot is correct. Those purple stones required solving random riddles, if I remember correctly. And I had the toughest time with those for some reason.
Cool that's about the only golden age Sierra title I never played!
I really liked the game. Some Monty Python holy grail easter eggs. Plus it had a text parser, for typing in actions. So of course, it was fun trying to guess what swear words or outrageous requests would return a funny remark from the developers.
Someone can take my turn.
Ok I'm not going to be popular for posting this but...anyone remember this one??? :=
(https://archive.org/download/agi_fuck-quest-2-demo/agi_fuck-quest-2-demo.gif)
God help us all, it's Fuck Quest. Given that I don't recognize the scene from the first game, I'm guessing it's Fuck Quest 2 specifically.
And I'm horrifically ashamed to know this :sealed:

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?
Oh, no. Definitely not an adventure game.
Rama?
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/kNuPeKr.png[/imgzoom]
Seems this one's a bit harder than I expected. As usual with one of mine :=
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.
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!
Yay, I got it. :-D
It's amazing how identifiable the aesthetics of that engine is.
Let's see if anyone can get this one.

Your turn.
Thanks for the memories :-D
Here's another guess:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/ApGiyWH.png[/imgzoom]
I don't even know what I'm looking at. Something hairy (or made of wood) with a metal nose?
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.
Correct! Suspicious too much explaining Bonds!
I'm innocent, Mr Walls! Just following regular police procedure!
This one is a bit easy:

[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/4EuAsQe.png[/imgzoom]
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.
Here's one!
(https://i.imgur.com/t0ysdg8.png)
No idea, but that boat has two very badly behaved stray pixels... sloppy if it's a commercial title.
Haha! (laugh) Yes, a commercial title.
Hmm maybe that Oregon Trail title from Sierra?
Sorry I meant Gold Rush.
I can see where you got that, but that isn't it.
Wouldn't be something obvious like King's Quest 3 would it?
King's Quest 4?
Maddog Williams?
Danvzare got it! King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella, and that darn whale's tongue. :tongue:
Wow guess I forgot how pixelated the graphics were even as late as KQ4! I loved those games though.

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.
Sometimes I impress even myself.

Here's another screenie.
I guess I chose a much more obscure game than I first thought.
I actually found this from googling the text (which as far as I'm aware is allowed unless the person posting the pic forbids it because it's a text adventure or something), but wanted to see if anyone knew it.
Apparently not, so it's Pyjamarama, for the ZX Spectrum amongst others.
Here's one that I'm currently playing:

It has been some time since I played that game. Is that the guy you had to beat in a farm in one the last levels, or something like that?
Here's the next one:

Hahaha! Yes, but it had acting! I remember thinking the video was so great. I bet if I look back at it now, it'll be even more macroblocked than Mad Dog McCree.

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.

It's when Ben first arrives at the Vultures' hideout and finds a pissed-off Maureen waiting for him.
"That's the guy I told you about, Suzi. The guy who killed my dad." Or something like that.
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.
I only ever played the demo but that seems to have had a lasting effect on me. Anyway, middle finger (laugh):

That's right! Your turn again.

King's Quest?
I've played half an hour of the first free episode of Life is Strange before deciding I didn't like it. I remember there was a butterfly in the school toilet, so... Life is Strange?
Yes. Maybe I should have used something less obvious.
The whole butterfly effect concept is the main mechanic of the game, so the butterfly was pretty easy to remember! ;)
I just had a turn, so if someone else wants it, please take it! :)
Well alright then...
What is this one, my dudes:

Loom?
Definitely too easy! (laugh) Your go, dude...
Posting such a screenshot on this forum is like showing a Jesus painting to a Pope and asking „Who's this?†:)

I thought it was just a screenshot of a game that kind of looked like Loom (but I made the guess anyway)! (laugh)

Langriser, just too obvious. (And judging from those horribly mangled portraits it's the western version known as Warsong or whatever)

Yep, that's the one. Good game. I got stuck at the end though.
Your turn.
Next:

Warcraft?
(wrong)
Rings of Power?
(wrong)
One of the Heroes of Might & Magic games?
(wrong)
I may post some more pics if there are more wrong guesses, but I think posting any other shots might have spoiled it already.
Hint: This is a not so obscure (I think, could probably be considered quite popular) action game. The posted image was from a certain scene that many people never got to see for some reasons.
I took me a while but then I recognized where I'd seen that type of helmet before, it looks a thug from Golden Axe :-\
It looks a bit too high-res though. One of the sequels?
It looks really familiar. I'm fairly sure I've seen it in an intro on a Megadrive game. I just can't for the life of me place it.
Warmonger?
Quote from: Chrille on Thu 26/10/2017 17:37:56
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!
Hooray! :-D
Here is something a bit more modern:

Lol, interesting title. Wrong, but interesting. :grin:
I never even thought about the door being too big, until now. :wink:
Uhm... I should know it but I don't...
I'll guess "Phantom of the opera" since it seems like we're under a theater stage. ;)
Ohhhhh... you're SO close, I have to give it to you. :grin:
It's called Return Of The Phantom, and it's based on Phantom Of The Opera.
And you're right - that scene is below the theatre stage. :wink:
Your turn Cassie :smiley:
oh, what? Me again? Something is wrong in the world. (wtf)

Hint: this game is a 1989 Russian (Soviet?) puzzle game that had a very politically charged intro screen and title but was otherwise kind of silly.

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.

It is this, essentially: a GTA 4 mod that someone did. In the last two pages we'd had as many 'looks like another game but is actually Mario Odyssey' turns, so I thought I'd flip it. It's -a your go, Lorenzo!

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.

Alright, here's a small hint that should make things a bit more clear - the game was released 21 years ago, but it refuses to die, and is still floating around.
(https://i.imgur.com/ZEc0CHl.png)
Ultima Online? Wait, that was isometric, I think. :confused:
Hexapolis?
Umm... it kind of looks like how I'd imagine Elder Scrolls Online to look if it was made back when Daggerfall was the newest Elder Scrolls game. ???
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!!!

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. :)

Here's a link to the video if anyone is interested:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4hktqhBpzY
It's a pretty cool grounding in the myths surrounding Polybius and also a quite creepy (if slightly cheesey) little tale.
Based on the blurred title and the gameplay (since it looks like Tempest).
I have not seen the documentary (wrong)

It's not Doom, although it is an ancient underpowered system, and the name of the game is four letters.
I started trying it from another approach and thinking of 4 letter video games with only 4 letters and I am sure none of the ones I came up with were it: Doom, Pong, Myst, and Sims. The character looks like a MiiCharacter avatar
Here's the full screenshot:

Looks like some sort of operation game. The names Hawkeye and Trapper remind me of MASH but not sure if that is just some names the players picked or if it is related to the answer. I know I have never played a game that looks like that though.
I'm going to guess "M*A*S*H".
Oddly enough M*A*S*H is the right answer!

I'm almost certain that is correct.
I was so excited when I got that game, thinking it would be like a million times better than Sim City because of the scale, and was quite disappointed by what I remember was mostly a linear experience which got very samey with repeated playthroughs.
Quote from: CaptainD on Sat 09/12/2017 21:01:22

Yep, that's it.
I thought using the SNES version would throw people off. Your turn.
Hehe well I did think it looked like a console version tbh. I only ever played it - very briefly - on a mate's Amiga A1200.
Okay here's another one:

Interesting they call them "tries" instead of "lives"...
Aliens?
No although there are aliens in the game...
Turrican?
Nope, though there's a definite similarity in graphical style. I was most surprised to find they that were released in the same year, I thought this one would be much older!
This one featured a character who was famous outside the world of video games...
Buck Rogers?
Nope - think comics rather than TV. :wink:
Hmmmm... a comic character in a purple and green jumpsuit with what looks like a big gun, a helmet, and a jetpack fighting aliens?!
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...)
I think Mandle may be reading too much into the "Tries" thing (unless I'm not reading enough into it?!?)
This should give it away - at least the character (it's not the first in the series):

Nope - think comics rather than TV. :wink:
Buck Rogers started off as a book (well two stories that were eventually compiled into a book), then got popularised as a comic. Long before becoming a TV show.
Um... Captain Comic?

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.
Incidentally, the name of the eponymous character in this game rhymes with your user name! (Depending on exactly how you pronounce the second part...)
Dan Dare?
I am not sure when the comics or book came about but there was a movie called Buck Rogers in 1939.
Frodo's got it - or at least most of it. This was Dan Dare III on the ST.

Psycho Killer?
Bingo ;)
Here's a nice easy one:

Definitely a Spyro game, not sure of which one specifically though.
The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning?
Nope.
And even though it's easy, it's not that easy. ;)
Skylanders?
Crash Twinsanity?

W. T. F.
Too much, eh? := I'll just say this: the little lizards are essential to the theme of the game. You might even say there's an overabundance of them.
That control panel at the bottom suggests it's one of those handheld devices. :shocked:
But I've no idea what it is, so:
Lizard Breeder?
Lizard Keeper?
Lizard Zoo?
A Veritable Plethora of Lizards? :-D
Nope on either. It's a DOS game. Also try to think on what type of lizards these are ;)
Er... um... Paper Dragons?
Uh... Gecko Mania? :confused:
...
What are the chances that combining two random words together would yield a correct answer?
Salamander Scurry? 8-)
Leaping Lizards?
something like "Lots of Geckos"
An Abundance of Anoles?
A Bounty of Basilisks?
A Crapload of Chameleons?
A Deluge of Dragons?
A Gush of Geckos?
An Inundation of Iguanas?
A Myriad of Monitors?
A Surfeit of Skinks?
(New series coming soon from Amazon e-books)

Y'know what, that's close enough, so I'll just go with this and call it a day ;) It's
Too Many Geckos!
well i was close. anyone else want my turn?
Well I was the first one to say "Gecko" so I'll take your turn. :-D

Dragon quest builders?
Nope, nope, and nope.
Seriously? No more guesses?
I would've figured that everyone would've guessed every single block building game in existence by now.
When it comes down to retro games, you guys are experts. But as soon as you're shown an indie game, you're all stumped.
Here's another screenshot:

LEGO: Universe?
Portal Knights.
Let's go with this nice game then:

Some kinda Japan-only SNES beat em up?
Yes about second part, but its not Japan only.
Looks like a shoot-em-up to me.
No idea what the name is though.
Psycho Dream?
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.
I saw the similarity too, so I initially thought it was Cannon Dancer/Osman, but apparently from screenshots they didn't match.
Run Saber, then?
Run Saber it is :).
Kinda hidden gem for SNES. Too bad it's this short.
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/sB6WbOi.png[/imgzoom]
Where in San Francisco is Carmen Sandiego?
Nope, but it is educational.
Mario is Missing, the worst Mario game?
That's right :grin:
Man, that game was such a disappointment! A Mario game on PC!... and it sucks.
Next:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/H70QAOD.png[/imgzoom]
Some port of the first Duke Nukem?
Nope! Same developer, though.
It's secret agent I think
You're right! It's Secret Agent.

It is not. It is, in fact, a somewhat obscure DOS platformer called "Dig It!" which has some obscenely catchy Adlib music ;)

And since I am correct, I will just go ahead and post the next one:

My suspicion is that an accident, probably caused by a lightning storm and a mad professor, resulted in Amayirot's brain becoming inextricably linked to the databases behind MobyGames and LemonAmiga.
You give me far too much credit, I was just really into shareware games as a kid and a lot of that is still rattling around in this old brain of mine :=
Anyway, yeah, CrashPL got it ;)

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?
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.
Whoops, hope it's not TOO obscure. ;)
(https://i.imgur.com/bNGLyYo.png)
2nd hint: it's an Italian game, fairly popular back in the day on various shareware compilation CDs.
It may have been popular in its day but I've still never seen it before now :X Fortunately your hint lead me in the right direction; it's Larax & Zaco, AKA Lezac. I'll let someone else take my turn.
Too easy?

Alone in the Dark?
Or at least a game made in the same engine.

Glad to see I'm not that (K)rusty! :D
Do you know that guy?

Mercs perhaps?

Could that be Bad Dudes?

Nope, it's not a beat'em up.
It's an arcade (I mean, hardware) game from Capcom ported on several platforms (Sega, Amiga, etc.).

Dylan Dog?
Nope, although it is a 2-word title.
Manhattan Dealers!
I couldn't remember the title at first, but recognized it as one of Silmarils many weird games. It's hilariously bizarre, like many of their other games. Usually very atmospheric, with wonky controls and/or ideas.

(mind, it's not a clue ^^)
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).

Hmm, I think even I would have a hard time guessing this one, at least without color :-D
[imgzoom]http://www.gaspop.com/randomness/namethegame051.png[/imgzoom]
Some version of Sokoban?
Sort of a wild hunch but based on the fenced in location, even though the colour palette looks completely wrong - maybe a later port to an 8-bit system? - I'm going to take a stab at Full Throttle.
Both wrong, but it is an adventure game at least. Sorta...
When you said 'tweaked' I thought you only meant cropped. I felt it was manhunter but the different shades of grey are not agi. Now I'm sure it is manhunter san Francisco (nod)
That's it, AnasAbdin! Well done ;-D

Quote from: Buckethead on Tue 30/01/2018 08:48:36
It's Talisman: Digital Edition. I think I followed the release a couple of years back.
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!
Whoops! I always forget that I'm suppose to post the next one.

What a game!
Lemmings is one of those rare games that feels every bit as fresh and inventive today as it did when it was first released. Not sure I ever quite got past level 70 (or thereabouts) - time to fire up the STEEM emulator again I think! (My kids already love the game.)
As it is late here I'll let anyone who's interested to steal my turn.

This has to be one of the best game over screens I've come across.
I've never played this game but...
Press X to not die?
Yes. At that point I obviously failed to do so.
Awww. Like the last round it's late here, so anyone can still steal the next turn. If no one posts I may put something here tomorrow.
Okay, I'll have a go then. :smiley:

But I have no game in mind for the moment.
Sometimes, I don't answer in order to don't have to find a game to make guess. :D
So I give my turn to you or to someone else if you are not ready to unleash your revenge. ^^
Well, thankyou Atavismus. :cheesy:
Hopefully, this will be more of a challenge. :wink:

Please ignore this post. I put up a picture here but realized it was a stupid idea later on.

Oh that's easy, "Bethesda Game Studios Tycoon", the game where you get to run Bethesda Game Studios and upset people who expected a different ending to the Mass Effect trilogy.

Technically they didn't, it was made by Evryware who also made the Manhunter games. Sierra only published it.

Rocketeer, definitely.
Yep
Got lazy and captured it from a youtube video of the game:

Aliens
(nod) (http://www.mobygames.com/game/aliens-the-computer-game_)
The Apple ][ version to be exact. I thought the screenshot could be a bit misleading, but anyway, your turn!
cool. here is an oldie i used to play.
[imgzoom]https://s14.postimg.org/tuavfvz81/aaw122.png[/imgzoom]
Ancient Art of War?
Never played it myself, but EvryWare games had a very recognizable style :)
This shot features one of the most annoying enemies encountered in any game ever.
[imgzoom]http://www.gaspop.com/randomness/namethegame052.png[/imgzoom]
Venus the Flytrap?
Nope!
Could it be "Menace"?
Nope!
It is a game from the late eighties though. There was one version of it that was re-released in the late 00's (or around that time, I think)
Mmmm Menace has the same ennemies.
Could it be "Life Force: Salamander" then?
It's a shmup right?
I guess it does look like a generic shooter enemy :)
It's not a shmup, but you can shoot!
One of those ECCO the dolphin games?
Nope, this next screenshot might give it away though:

Math Quest?
(Also if I'm right, then I will be utterly amazed, since I made that name up based on the fact that this looks like someone crossed King's Quest and a Math game together.)
Ha, nice try, but no. Here's another pic:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/mICQKe6.png[/imgzoom]
Hint: I am being a little bit sneaky with my choice of game.
And just in case anyone isn't sure, I think it's fair play to search for any text that shows up in screenshots for this thread. If people disagree, I am certainly allowing it for this round, due to aforementioned sneakiness likely making it too difficult otherwise!
Hmm I'm not sure. But it looks like Kings Quest with graphics by Fernando Botero.
Ha, it does look a bit like his portraits!
I want to say something like: number adventures?
I'll give it to you, as this is such a harsh one. It's Numberventure Forest, a fake game created for this video:

One proof: you can put an engine on an asteroid and use it as a weapon to crash on other bases. ^^
Is that right? Hah :D

Little Big Adventure 2/Twinsen's Odyssey
Correct ;) Another game where someone tries to launch a celestial body into another by putting a huge engine on it.
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/qXyr4iL.png[/imgzoom]
I think this game is quite obscure so I didn't even bother cropping or editing the screenshot.
Has some "connection" with the last entry in a more obscure way.
Soccer Kid?
Correct.
The obscure connection with the last game is that you can attack with a ball. :=
Quote from: Atavismus on Tue 13/03/2018 17:48:26
Soccer Kid?
I remember playing that game as a kid. :-D
I also remember finding Marko's Magic Football, and thinking they were the same game, because of how similar they were.
I played Soccer Kid (on Amiga ofc ^^) and it was very good.
Not my kind, but a high quality platformer with something more.
Anyway, what about this?

EXTREME Violence. Never heard of it before but a quick look at My Abandonware's 1991 section gave me the answer :=
Correct, and very clever detective work! I was hoping to find a game you hadn't heard of, so I'm glad I managed that at least!
Wouldn't be the first one in this thread ;) Since I just had a turn I'll let someone else take mine.

Hmm... now obviously looks like the Olympic games or similar, off the top of my head I can't remember many offering the option of training though. I do recall both a Carl Lewis title and a Daley Thompson title that did allow you to train, but can't quite think of the full name of either game (unless it is <name>'s Olympic Challenge).
California Games? or Summer Games?
No correct guesses yet.
Mandle, both 'Summer' and 'Games' are in the title.
CaptainD, it's one of those games, but not named after a sporting celebrity.
Summer Olympic Games?
Summer Games 2?
Summer Of Games?
Games Of Summer?
Summer Rio Games?

Isn't this Revenge of Shinobi on the Arcade?
Was it that, I remember this screenshot cos they ripped off other franchises blatently!
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.
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!
Whoops, I almost forgot my turn. Sorry!

Nothing quite like an EGA image trying to look like a photograph! So much grain in that you could make bread. (laugh)
A Bond game?
I don't know, but the uniforms remind me of Ghostbusters.
They did make a Ghostbusters game! but it's David Wolf: Secret Agent
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.
Nah, the white shirt guy is probably a pilot and the proton pack is a parachute, so I guess the detective looking guy is wanting his parachute.
Hehe, you got it. I initially searched for a screenshot of 'Heart of China' when I stumbled upon this one :)

Looks like Aerosmith's Amazing video. Was it some game based on that?
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.
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.
this might be impossible for most of you unless youve somehow watched the anime as a kid

Doraemon 3: Nobita to Toki no HÅ Âgyoku (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".
No one would not know what Doraemon is here, but I think the hard part is which game it is, as there are a ton of them.

Uhm... I've seen Doraemon cartoons before... and I'm not sure they were in Japanese. My memory says spanish... and a quick YT search proves that I'm not wrong:

I love Doraemon! I have a few books at home (easy Japanese, still difficult for me :-[ )
Quote from: cat on Sat 05/05/2018 11:14:10
I love Doraemon!
Hahaha! That look on your face when you saw the big Doraemon outside the shop in Kawagoe and tourist-posed with it. My wife and me were cracking up!
It's not just in Japan. Doraemon is SERIOUS BUSINESS here.
Every woman, man and child had somehow heard of Doraemon. And that was the end of the Name the Game game.
Kampai!!
THE END
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...
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?
Quote from: ManicMatt on Sun 06/05/2018 21:11:21
Kampai!!
I know what this means even though I have never learnt Japanese, thanks to watching Terrace House. You all should too!
(I also recognised Doraemon even though I didn't know its name or anything else about it.)
Looks like Zach hasn't been on in a couple of days...
What is the Terrace House? I only know like 20 Japanese words.
Nani is said a lot, because its basically "what", ergo people going "What?!!"

sorry to burst your bubble, and also the fact that this is a late reply, but youre wrong. thats a dub, not the original japanese audio. ive researched every detail about the series for 3 years.
Makes sense, it says "in Spanish" which mean they felt the need to put that because it's not normally in that language.
Anyway, whose go is it??
what bubble??? 8-0
I know the original is Japanese and that's a dub... (roll) Unless you did not read my post I said that I've seen it in other languages other than Japanese. Meaning that is has aired not only in Japan!
Anyway... are we going to continue talking about Doreamon or will someone post the next game to guess? (nod)

Hi all!
I guess it's Zaxxon.
Hey! Ahh I thought id briefly played this on a retro collection but wasn't sure if it was this, or what collection it was.
Super Zaxxon?
Mega Zaxxon
Quote from: selmiak on Sun 13/05/2018 11:45:22
Mega Zaxxon
No, and I sense a theme building...
I remember a game like Zaxxon called Space Raid, but I think their graphics sucked.

Have at it, gents.
Atlantis?
Egypt 1156 BC?
Cassie gets it in no time at all :=
Ah, thought it looked familiar, though I can't remember if I ever finished it. (laugh)
This one should be easy (I never played it or even had heard of it before today (roll) ).
(http://i.imgur.com/zYDjMlr.gif)
I have no idea what the game is, but it looks like that detective is flipping off that house. (laugh)
LOL, okay, maybe a colored version will help:
(http://i.imgur.com/PY50BkC.gif)
I'm pretty sure it's not Déjà  Vu, but that's the only game I can think of.
It's not. (wrong)
I had to edit the names out of the picture, or it would have been too easy... but this should now not be hard... surely? (wtf)
(http://i.imgur.com/R0evCGW.png)
"Psycho"? or "Bate's Motel"?
or something connected to that obviously by that last shot.
Yup, thanks Mandle! :D
It's Pshyco (and that is "Bates Motel"). (nod)

Wow, there was an adventure game based on Psycho?! Gotta give it a try!
New shot coming soon!

A bit more recent.
Titan Souls?
Chronicle of innsmouth?

That's the top half of the title indeed. Can anyone get the bottom half?
Chronicles of Narnia?

Chronicles of Narnia?
No, the bottom half. The top half is already solved.
Mountains Of Madness?
A Cthulhu Adventure?
Quote from: Mouth for war on Wed 16/05/2018 22:35:08
Chronicle of innsmouth?
I don't understand.
Did Mouth For War not guess correctly? Or is it 2 different games you want us to guess? :confused:
Is the top and the bottom half not the same game?
Quote from: Frodo on Sun 20/05/2018 01:57:07
Is the top and the bottom half not the same game?
(laugh) Are you doing a bit? (laugh)
Anyway:
Mouth Of War got the top half.
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!)
I guess whichever of the winners gets to it first can take the next round?
Well BenX how about we split this one? I take one half and you take the other half and when we combine those pictures, we form something really obscure? :-D Nah go ahead I don't mind if you take this one
Okay, here's my half of the picture. Mouth Of War, please supply the other half, then people can take a guess!
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/b324XFX.png[/imgzoom]
I don't recognise the scene but that character reminds me of the player character in Blade Runner, and the neon lights could fit with that idea - so that's my guess, Westwood's classic Blade Runner.
Damn, I missed this. I love this game.

CaptainD, it's Ray McCoy, and Lucy in the arcade at Hysteria Hall. :grin:
Yeah I only played it the once but I recognise it from Blade Runner too!
So... not much point in Mouth for War doing the second half??

But that wouldn't have been fun!

Kind of... But most people show the whole image after a cropped one was used. I wasn't really able to though as the full image had not been officially released yet. But, over the weekend, it was released at an Italian game convention and also posted on facebook.
Whether people also look at the rest of the gallery is up to them ;)
(BONUS POINTS if anyone can guess the artist doing the backgrounds on Chronicle Of Innsmouth: Mountains Of Madness (laugh) )

So not only did you break the last round, you also paused the game for three weeks!
I don't know this at all, so I'll guess... Paperboy.
I don't do things by halves... :P
Astonishingly you are correct! I thought people might me assume it was a racing game.
Woah, that was a complete guess! Okay, here's a game I just played recently:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/Iuf7lFF.png[/imgzoom]
That must be Shadow Warrior.
It is indeed! I hoped the manga sprite might have been an effective red herring but never mind!
You should've cut the two huge guns at the bottom. ;)
Related, in a way, to the previous game:

Oh... I was actually thinking of that one and wondering "what's the name of that weird game I bought but I never got to play?" (laugh)
I still have a boxed copy of that somewhere. Remember it as somewhat amusing but mostly annoying :-D
[imgzoom]http://www.gaspop.com/randomness/namethegame055.png[/imgzoom]
Hint: It's a new game, so new it isn't even officially released yet.
Isn't that cheating?
If it's not even released yet, how are we supposed to guess?
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!
(Author of pleughburgh, crikey, that was one of the first AGS games I played!)
Is that the Quest for Infamy sequel -Roehm to Ruin?
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.
CaptainD, nope, but that's not too far off, actually!
Quest For Glory sequel?
Naughty Chrille! It's the Hero-U alpha/beta. Mandle can have it, as he basically guessed it without naming it.
I did? Oh, okay. Screenie coming soon!

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.
Well, they certainly thought it was well known, so I disagree, but I don't make the rules!

And you also posted another game (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=48054.msg636586420) which was yet to appear quite recently. :wink:
So, it's been done before, and I don't understand why people suddenly started complaining about guessing games not yet released. :=
Short memories haha.
I did think that was a weird entry, more like we were trying to work out the letters rather than actually recognising the image.
Right, Mandle get a handle on this, post a picture already! :P
Can we use games that are actually released from now on?
Quote from: Frodo on Wed 20/06/2018 09:55:53

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.

Not cropped quite enough though it seems...
I didn't see the sword icon in the bottom right until I posted it full-size. Did that give it away?
Over to you!
Given the play-style of Dragon's Lair, I think it's that I've seen that backdrop too many times.

Pretty sure the only way you can play it in Windows 10 is through a Virtual Machine running Windows XP or earlier Windows versions. Or maybe Dosbox running Windows 3.1?
I don't have anything at the moment, someone else can have my turn, otherwise I'll post something tomorrow :)
Okay, I'll put something up...

Nope, I can't, if a cropped portion of a GUI icon or whatever in the past was acceptable then this is also.
EDIT: Also I have the whole screenshot saved and plan to show it bit by bit, but if someone had played this game enough they might get it by this one cropped screenie. If not I put the next one up tomorrow.
It reminded me of an AGS game made for MAGS not too long ago, but I checked the screenshot and decided it wasn't it. :~(
So...
Growing flowers?
Nope, sorry but here's another cryptic screenie:
[IMGZOOM]http://i63.tinypic.com/r9fmhg.png[/IMGZOOM]

E.T.: Phone Home Adventure?
Something like an editor?
A Mario editor?
It rings a bell, but it's very distant and I can't hear it clearly...
No so far...
I think someone might be able to get it not so much by looking at the two pictures individually but instead thinking what they imply about each other when considered together. I'll put another up soon.
[IMGZOOM]http://i66.tinypic.com/2rr332e.png[/IMGZOOM]
I know the pictures are small but all are zoomable.
Ah, Dig Dug.

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...
Congratz though on figuring out probably one of the most violent early arcade games... I mean, was anyone else blown away by literally pumping the enemies up until they friggin' explode?!
Over to you!
Wow, I would never have guessed Dig Dug. Not only because I haven't played it in at least 25 years, but I think I only played either the Atari 2600 or Intellivision version, neither of which seem to have the flower.

It seems there is a fine balance between making an iconic game impossible to recognize or just way too easy...
Maybe I will just stick to full screen shots from now on to avoid annoying people too much.
Personally I think these puzzle rounds are rather fun :-D

I was thinking Math Blaster but how that you say that I think it is Henry's House.
Yep, it's from Henry's House, a C64 game I loved as a child, one of the earliest games I ever played. As you can see, I gave that portion a makeover whilst keeping the original resolution.

The Gene Machine. :) Remember playing it on my good ol' PC, though I was a bit too young to fully understand everything, heh. :D
Damn, that was quick. :grin:
Over to you, Crash.
Whee. :D Here's a classic that will always have a special place in my heart.

Yes sir! That's Journeyman Project 1, alright. :D It was the very
first PC game I've ever played. Man, it was seriously impressive back then.
Over to you, Chrille. :)
It was one of the first cd-rom games I played too. There wasn't much gameplay, but I remember being impressed by the robots at least :)

Here's another part of the gui, showing the main window would give it away immediately I'm sure:

Hmmm no idea, but judging from the (fantasy?) setting it may be one of those text adventures Roberta Williams made before making KQ1.
Edit:Spoiler
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.
Nah, it's called "research". It's only cheating if you google the actual image.

Spot on. :cheesy:
Except this PC re-release (the screenshot is from the PC version) has a different title - bonus points if you can tell me that title. :kiss:
Spoiler
Adventure in Serenia!
Heh I was too lazy to look up the name again, so I think josiah got this one!
Josiah gets the bonus points, and a cookie. :wink:
But Gilbert recognised it first, and got the original title, so I think the turn goes to him. :smiley:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/AFgqsNP.png[/imgzoom]
I think this is a bit obscure but I used to play it a lot and it's an insanely difficult game!
Dont know what game that is but looks fun depending on what you had to do. I am guessing some sort of Defender?
This is not just a shooter.
Is it a Soviet era game?
Considering it's an Apple ][ games in the 80s, yes.
Project Space Station? ???
Nope
Top Gun?
Go-Bots?
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.)
Edit:
Here it is.
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/9wuysFh.png[/imgzoom]
Something set on Mars?
Is it Captain Goodnight?
Chrille got it!
Yeah of course it is Captain Goodnight.
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 have to admit that I've never heard of this one.
Perhaps an AGS remake is in order? ;)
It had a look at a video and it seems like a cute little game.
Anyway, I couldn't think anything special so here's something fairly new:
[imgzoom]http://www.gaspop.com/randomness/namethegame063.png[/imgzoom]
Cuphead?
Never played it but the art style looked similar to what I saw in screenshots.
That's it!
[imgzoom]http://www.gaspop.com/randomness/namethegame065.png[/imgzoom]
As I just had my round, I'll leave this for someone else to steal.
If no one starts a new round, I may try to post something later.
Consider it stolen! ;)
How about this?
(http://i64.tinypic.com/jrqnnt.gif)
For some reason it looks like a Hewson game to me but not sure which one.
Nope! Alright this should give it away:
(http://i65.tinypic.com/2aeqfcy.jpg)
Thought it was Turrican at first but that's Thexder, right?
Yes! Your go.
[imgzoom]http://www.gaspop.com/randomness/namethegame066.png[/imgzoom]
Overlord?
Nope, it's a fairly recent game.
Paranautical Activity?
Nope!
[imgzoom]http://www.gaspop.com/randomness/namethegame067.png[/imgzoom]
Fallout 4?
No Man's Sky?
Aquanox?
Fallout 4 it is. Well done, dayowlron ;-D
Hadn't played it, but saw an ad for it in a game I was playing and thought the green atmosphere looked right.
Not sure if this will be easy or hard.
[imgzoom]https://s15.postimg.cc/au2xaxe7v/ft245.png[/imgzoom]
World Leader Tetris? (laugh)
on the right track but as far as I know it was never released with that name.
I know what this is and I even made a custom graphics set for it BiTD, so I'd rather not spoil it.

Is it an AGS game then?
No, but as dayowlron mentioned guessing Tetris is on the right track, as these games are quite closely related.
A cropped part of Facestris?
(What happened to using actual screenshots? :sad:)
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.

Uhm... Columbo ? Though I couldn't find any computer game under that name on Google, only a board game... (roll)

Zombie Quest?
Nope
I think there was a game just called "Zombie" and although I've never played it the GUI looks a little familiar from screenshots I've seen...?
Sorry, no zombies in this game.
No more guesses?

It's an adventure game made in FreeBASIC.

CaptainD, looking for 'FreeBASIC games' takes you to THIS (https://games.freebasic.net/) page. :wink:
Yes, I only identified the game by browsing that site :=

(Hint in the top left redacted)
I just watched a retrospective of this franchise's FPS games recently - this is Terminator Rampage!
You are right, it is!
The redacted text read "CYBERDYNE".
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:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/49KhsIp.png[/imgzoom]
Looks like some kind of Virtua Cop game, with the crosshair around the target.
The maximum score seems to be nine billion, nine million, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine...
My goodness!!! Does it roll back to zero after that?!
that would actually be nine billion, nine hundred and ninety-nine million, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine..

It's Die Hard Trilogy, so I accepted the answer. (If no one had got it from the Die Hard 2 section, I would have shown a pic from the taxi-driving section, and finally the Nakatomi Tower one.)
Oh, I see...
As for the current one.
It looks like some kind of ornamentation on a frame or map.
I'm gonna guess:
Sid Meier's Pirates?
It's fine, I knew it was Die Hard Trilogy... I interviewed at Probe in London when it was in development. :=
Not Pirates, no. It's part of the gameplay.
Are we looking at some kind of crab/crab-monster?
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis?
lorenzo is right, I wanted to post the same thing :P
Yep, lorenzo got it!
Oh, of course!!! It's the crab-ferry gizmo! Damn, I feel like an idiot now, recognizing that it was a crab and all but not making that final connection. :-[

It is rather good isn't it! I remember being entranced by the many interesting random encounters you could have just wandering around. And, if I remember correctly, they weren't all just combat encounters. Really made the world feel alive!

I remember being very impressed with it on my mate's C64, even though I had an ST at the time.
Here's one that amazed us on the ST during the same period... sorry if it's been done before (pretty certain it has!), bottom half of the screen removed as it contains text that would give it away.

Easy. That's Pepsi Man.
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.)
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):
(http://www.ags.pics/Oh0E.png)
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 :)
No guesses? Oh well, here's another screenshot...

Ben X got it! It's Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
Hoorah! I played that a little under 2 years ago; I still remember that room because I had to play through it a ton of times thanks to the stupid difficulty.

Bioshock Infinite?
Interesting guess, but no!
Ghostbusters?
Correct! Really nice use of the old Columbia Studios logo there. (Rather than the setting of Columbia in Bioshock Infinite!)
Such a good game.
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.
So, was pretty easy for me to guess.
I'll get a pic up soon.
Quote from: Jack on Thu 18/10/2018 19:34:19

Indeed.
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.

Same reason my last one got made fun of.
I hope you didn't take offence to all that, it wasn't done to insult you, by me or Dan Ben. Was a surreal comedy thing. It was funny, no?
Either way, my apologies if it did offend you.
Yeah, totally, I wasn't making fun of your round, I was just being silly.
No worries. I actually didn't realize what was going on until after it was explained anyway.
I thought that was a different game made with the same template or something. (laugh)
Let's keep the game going, then!

Argh, I just read that this one never got released. So let's simply admire the beauty of the pixels. I'll add a different pic in a second.
Alright - this is the one to guess:

Exile, probably the Amiga version.
And yeh that animated image is fantastic, what game was it?
oh noes, sorry for the late reply. Yes in both ways: it's Exile on the Amiga!
The screenshot was from Flag, also on the Amiga. Unfortunately it never got released.
http://hol.abime.net/4774/screenshot
Wow, that brought back a memory I didn't think I had.
I was able to name the artist from 'Herman' -> Herman Serrano!
Very diverse bunch of images for one game!
Next:
(http://i.imgur.com/SbDcQ23.png)
It looks like another Amiga game to me. I'm not sure which one though. Elf?
Amiga, yup! Elf? Nope!
Double post offender!
Shall I post another image? Because if no one knows it from this screenshot its highly unlikely any other screenshots will change anything.
Hmm, maybe a written clue as well, then?
A screenshot of the title screen or the end game scroll would help :)
It's a beautiful game!
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.
Odysee?
Spelling aside, yes! Odyssey! Not the easiest of words.I loved my Amiga and followed the game releases until about 2000, when my Amiga's hdd died.
Sorry about the spelling *hangs head in shame* :sealed:

Heh, I'm pretty sure it didn't feature any human or human like people in it. It does share that fake cgi fmv look.
um, could it be plumbers dont wear ties?
Mandle got it right. It's definitely the blacksmith from Return to Zork. Return to Zork was my first FMV adventure game.
I should really get around to playing one of those zork games sometime, not sure how they passed me by all these years
Oh crap... forgot about this... Lotsa RL stuff going on... gimme a second
Here's an easy one, and a game that entranced me when I was a kid:

Escape from Colditz!
Yeah, I really liked that game so, some years ago, I made a kind of AGS techdemo with EFC's gfx:
http://adventuregamestudio.fr-bb.com/t2257-nom-de-code-efc (http://adventuregamestudio.fr-bb.com/t2257-nom-de-code-efc)

Yeah, I do remember you saying that. Why was that?
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.
Anyway, some guess as to what the very green game is?
Bulb Boy?
Tak.
I always found it odd that there's a game character called Tak, which is like me calling a character Yes.

What about Dr No?
And of course Maeby Funke.
For some reason, putting a Dr in front of it makes it sound more acceptable, like Doctor Strange.
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.
(https://i.imgur.com/hELxaoo.png)
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.
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!
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.
(http://i.imgur.com/L0olwnQ.png)
As an early twenty something, this was my favourate level in any game. Dunno why.
Ka for the PS2, or Mr Mosquito if you western people insist.
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!
This could take a while.
For some reasons I could not access my comp at home for a few months now (and obvious I don't want to do it with my phone).
So, anyone can steal this spot if they like, or wait for me to try to post something tomorrow.

Unfortunately, my knowledge of Japanese games only extends to the SNES console. :~(
So I have no idea what game this is.
This looks extremely creepy! :-[
It looks a bit like the aliens in Metal Slug, but it doesn't look like a metal slug game, and we got most or all of those anyway.
Is it perhaps a strange Space Invaders game I've never heard of before?
Not at all. It's a point & click adventure.

Looking up "Japanese Point and Click PC Adventure Game" revealed it instantly.
But now I feel guilty for searching for it like that. :~(
So if no one else guesses it, I'll reveal my guess. :-D
You bad fox, Danvzare!:-D
I give 12 hours if another one want to give a try, if not beans will be spilled!

I think that is a valid search query, since those are the clues that were given. So I think you should just spill it.
Seems obvious by now that no one that follows this thread regularly knows it (or wants to take the next turn). (roll)
Maybe you're right, Cassieberg!
Okay, the game is Garage: Bad Dream Adventure, a little obscure gem!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtgLgbICaHs
I love his creepy mood, I'd like to play but I can't read japanese! :~(
Sadly no one translate it, sigh!
It's very rare to find a japanese point & click adventure. It's my impression or Japan's developers are not interested in p'n'c games?

So... I guess it's my turn.

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. >:(

Moonstone!!!
yup you got it! well done.. really great game for its time .. put the gore levels in mortal kombat to shame :D
Yeah, it's really a cult game.
Not only because of the gore level.
A must!
What about this?

You're close. Almost close enough for me to say you got it. But what you've said is the equivalent of calling "Alone in the Dark" simply "Alone".
Come back with the full correct title, and you'll have it. :D

Haha Gamemaker! My God, haven't thought about that in years and years. I remember my friend got that for his birthday and we were into it like a religion developing our own little game. Unfortunately, the software was super buggy, so the screen would sometimes go black while scrolling, but it was a lot of fun nonetheless.
Nope, not a Gamemaker game!
Hint: this game was made by someone that is now active on the AGS forums, but it was not made with the AGS engine!
OK here's the title screen with the game name blanked out:

So I just guessed Bloodlust Software and searched from there.
Yep! My brother and I were full on Bloodlust fanboys back in the early internet days. You can't really mistaken the artwork style.
Your go. ;)
Whoa! What happened to Bloodlust's website? Japanese beauty products? (laugh) http://www.bloodlustsoftware.com/
Just lazy and this is a game unrelated to the previous one:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/cYojyr7.gif[/imgzoom]
(Unless you're talking about it being on a system emulated by Bloodlust, then yes.)
No idea. Looks like a crappier River City Ransom.
Definitely looks like some Famicom game... Not too familiar with that interface, though. A little hint maybe? :)
Thanks for the hint CrashPL!

Correct!
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.
Anyway, your turn AnasAbdin.

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.
Ah good times. :-D
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.

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.
Crash, your turn!
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.

Yes, there was also a text adventure, The Palace of Deceit, that he made before Jazz Jackrabbit and Unreal.
I never actually played Unreal. I got my introduction through Unreal Tournament which I played, mapped, and modded for 2-3 years obsessively.
New pic coming soon!
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.

Well, there is lots of walking involved in the game. It was originally made for Xbox One Kinect
By the way, the game has a strong connection to the previous game.

Ultima Worlds of Adventure 2: Martian Dreams. :D I'd say the Ultima franchise as a whole should make its glorious comeback (Shroud of the Avatar wasn't quite what I expected, sadly).

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'd like to see Wizardry come back as well.
Oh man, that reminds me of an unfinished Wizardry 7 save of mine... I had plans to reach to the end and then import the save to Wizardry 8 to continue the adventure. :(
And speaking of...

When was that, and where and on what did you have it saved?
Quote from: Mandle on Wed 24/07/2019 12:26:09
When was that, and where and on what did you have it saved?
I started replaying it on my retro DOS/W95 rig around 5 years ago, but after a while I transferred the save to my everyday PC, when I found out Wizardry series is available on Steam! (https://store.steampowered.com/app/245430/Wizardry_7_Crusaders_of_the_Dark_Savant/) Best of all it features both the DOS version and the Gold re-release!
A little bump to remind you it's still going. ;)
Have another screenshot, and a little hint: it's a bit obscure game from the franchise that was mentioned here recently.
(https://i.imgur.com/cGofEWy.png)
Possibly a second generation Zork?
Some sort of Spectrum port of Rogue?
No and no. ;)
Another hint - the franchise it belongs to is a classic RPG. The game in question was released for Commodore VIC-20 only. Oh, and it has something to do with escaping and mountains in its title.
Is it an Ultima game?
Quote from: Mandle on Thu 19/09/2019 07:15:10
Is it an Ultima game?
Yes, and I guess it can count as an answer, since I believe it's way too much of an obscure game to guess and I don't want to prolong it any longer. :D It's Ultima: Escape from Mt. Drash, released in 1983.
Your turn Mandle!

I get the joke but I hope you aren't suggesting Zombieland was something Bill Murray would have had to be paid massively to appear in. It's a classic!
I enjoyed it too, but I found Bill Murray's appearance in it to feel quite forced.
I don't know if you're familiar with this kind of games, but this is a classic so let's give a try:

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.

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...
Up to you, Mandle!

Oh crap, I forgot about this. Someone else take over please.
While we are waiting for a new entry, let's admire this piece of artwork (and yes, it's from a game - you may guess it :) )
(https://i.imgur.com/jDvRyH0.gif)
I have no idea about what game it is, but that looks amazing!
Maybe it could be magic/witch related, because of the cauldron, (flying?) broom, bats and ominous castle?
Looks cool but yeah we might need another screenshot!
Amiga game... ;)
Quote from: Atavismus on Sun 20/10/2019 12:21:51
Amiga game... ;)
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?
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. ^^
Sorry abstauber. :-[

Quote from: Mandle on Mon 21/10/2019 17:47:05

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.
And Gilbert got it - it's
Rodland!
Man those are definitely some beautiful pixels! You can even see the church bell ringing in the distance. :)
Quote from: Ben X on Mon 21/10/2019 21:36:19

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.
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...
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.
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.
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/E3Vo4fH.png[/imgzoom]
Lamborghini American Challenge?
Nope. Titus made that after Super Cauldron, and besides it was essentially a re-skin of Crazy Cars 3...
Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge 2?
Correct!
http://amr.abime.net/review_1327
Burning Rubber?
Okay here's a new one... a reasonably obscure game but the title will be easy to guess I think.

Arctic Games?
Christmas Games?
Both of these guesses are half right!! :-D
Polar Games?
Close(ish) but nope.
erm... Arctic Christmas?
Nooooooo
"Games" is the correct second word.
It was published by Magic Bytes in the early 90s. I remember it being quite a fun game.

Although it doesn't really ring a bell with me I'm tempted to guess Resolution 101? The only thing I remember about that game was the (for the time) blindingly fast 3D environment, not sure if it had cut scenes.
The Hotshot?
@CaptainD got pretty close, as this is also a very fast 3D shoot em up. But it's from Thalion, Resolution 101 isn't :)
Trex Warrior: 22nd Century Gladiator ;)
That's it!
Of course that game had an Amiga release as well ;)
Hahaha I was just trying to blur my eyes and read the mosaiced-out text and the best I could do was "The Hotshot "
I never heard about your Amiga, sorry...

technically yes, but it's Motoroloa 68k based, so it's more like 16/32 bits.
I'm thinking CD-i, but I don't know any games for it. The video quality looks too good for anything that was cheaper and also using 68k.
Hehe, if this would be "Name the game system" we'd have a winner :)
Yes, it's on CD-I.
It's related to Leiji Matsumoto (who made Albator / Captain Harlock, Galaxy Express 999, etc).
(I was sure about this, otherwise it's would have been total plagiarism. :D)
Oops sorry, I couldn't make the connection between Albator and Captain Harlock :-[

As a typical french, I can't even imagine that anime has another name than the french one. ^^

The game was released in 1992.
Escape from CyberCity.
I immediately recognised these robo policeman dudes, shooting lasers/flashlights(?) from their eyes from a YT review of CD-I I watched not that long ago. EfCC was one of the games featured in the video. :D
Yay, finally :-D I hope that review didn't make you buy that thing. As mentioned I got one for free and even that was a tad too expensive :)
@Atavismus
I would never dare to question the french comic scene ;) I'm sure those Mangas were released at least 20 years earlier in France than in the rest of of Europe - so Capitaine Albator was first I assume.
Anyway: CrashPL, your turn :)
Haha, not really, I am much into retro games and consoles/computers, but I don't really feel the need to buy a CD-i, especially considering their failure rate and price nowadays. :D

I thought maybe someone would figure it for a much older game...
Glad they're back in development with SAF, it's great fun although every time I see the abbreviation I think it's "Sir Alex Ferguson" - as a Liverpool fan, truly a nemesis! :grin:
Okay you're up again...
Curses, that means I have to do another one! Right, I'm going to be cheap and lazy, sorry everyone!
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/AGaBo3h.png[/imgzoom]
I know the name of this game!
It is called 'Your Avatar'! :=
Incorrect, Gilbert, it is not Your Avatar!
Easy! This is "Quest for Earning Money by Making Adventure Games"!
Is it Gibbage?
No, but that's the correct dev!
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/CdIJWZh.png?1[/imgzoom]
Okay fine, Ben There, Dan That! 8-)
This will be easy I think... almost positive it's come up before but I'm not about to check 414 pages to check,,,

BAT 2?
Quote from: morganw on Tue 10/12/2019 21:35:26

Nope.
The game is loosely based on an anime.
Akira?
Long shot, but is it Willy Beamish? Maybe you grabbed a pic from when Willy first gets to the city?
Was Willy Beamish based on an anime?
I don't think so, but maybe there's some backstory we don't know. :P

Akira indeed!
A very bad game released in 1994 on Amiga.
A total shame/waste for such a great anime (maybe the best ever).
I'm not into anime, but Akira is a real seminal masterpiece to me on every points (music, gfx, universe, etc.).

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.
I will post a new one soon.

Ha, fantastic. It brings back memories, even though I've never played this game before.
Dark Seed 2?
Not Dark Seed 2.

Not Dark Seed 2.
I didn't really think so, but something in the style of the first picture made me have to give it a shot.
Oh, I think I know that game. :-D
Although I don't remember the name. I could easily find out the name... but it'll be more fun to try and guess it.
Harvester?
Blood Harvester?
It's a brilliant game. :smiley:
But 'Harvester' is not in the title. :cool:
Blood?
Nope
Alright, I relented, and decided to look up the title of the game I was thinking about, just to make sure it is that game.
And... no. I surprisingly got the title right. Obviously this simply isn't Harvester. And I thought it was. Darn. >:(
So um... Phantasmagoria?
Hehe, not Phantasmagoria either. :smiley:
But you're on the right track, with the horror themes. :wink:

Silent Hunter 5?
Correct! :-D
I used to play that like crazy, and even did some modding on it. Like the lifeboat-mod that you see in the picture.
An impressive game, from back when Ubisoft still had the technical expertise to do something like that.
I play it from time to time, but don't think I'm doing it right.
Probably easy:

Animal Crossing? (judging from the resolution it's either the N64/GCN original or Wild World on DS)
Speaking of, really looking forward to the Switch one, even though I barely have any time to play. I sank a lot of hours playing (and enjoying) New Leaf during my Uni days.

It's NOT Animal Crossing, or even made by Nintendo.

So here's a screenshot and a hint:
[imgzoom]http://twentyquidamusements.thecomicstrip.org/files/name_the_game/namethegame03.png[/imgzoom]
It was published by a game's company, that now seems more interested in selling pachinko machines than video games.

I can't say which Animal Crossing game it is, though.

You're on the right path, but as I've said before it's not a part of the Animal Crossing series.
Oops. I missed that post somehow. Interesting. The screenshots really look like they're from an Animal Crossing game.

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.

Hint:

It's a famous game.
First released in arcade and then on numerous platforms.
1942?
The helicopters look like something that would appear in a Toaplan shooter, but I have no idea which of their games would feature a mission briefing screen on what bosses are coming in a stage.

Nice idea, but it's not from Toaplan and it's not really a shoot'em up.
With an in-game screenshoot, everyone would find I guess. (laugh)
(If no one find, my next hint will be clearer, I swear ^^)

The info pane showing the level makes me guess it could be a Neo-Geo game.
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).

Oh. I was just making a bad pun of Mandle's guess. I think either Mandle or KyriakosCH should get the credit.
KyriakosCH will be, then.

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 :)

In fact Jet Set Willy has a very similar style, although it was clearly superior to this game.

I recognize him as the mascot of Roland Radio. :-D
And according to that site he's from... either Roland in Space or Roland in Time.
Considering the screenshot, I'm going to guess that it's Roland in Time.

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.
Even just the screenshot hurts my eyes. 8-0
As it should. Those games were terrible...
Though at least Jet Set Willy had a larger world and some surreal elements (Roland was a lazy version of that).
Yay I got it. :-D
Ok then, let's see how quickly someone can figure this one out.

Yep, Clock Tower Ghost Head to be exact. (Or Clock Tower 2 if you want the localized name.)
Your turn. :-D
^_^
Since I only just posted one, I think someone else should do it.
Ok, let's shoot again:

Some of those old Amiga games had really incredible graphics for their time.

Btw, I made a mistake in my description and by "co-op" I meant multiplayer.
Ok, here is an image from the actual gameplay:

Sky-Kid?
No, but if I remember properly the gameplay in the two games was quite similar.
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.

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

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

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

Seems to have an oedipal theme :=
Hehe, hadn't thought about that. :=
Sadly, no, that's not the theme. :wink:
Robocomb?
Nope
Hm, wait... He has to rescue those mustachioed gentlemen? I thought their bowties were actually dynamite vests!! :D
Lol, yeah he's there to rescue as many men as possible. :grin:
He wants to steal all their bowties. :tongue:
The main character looks like Alex Kidd if he was drawn by Jim Davis.
In the old days you'd get all sorts of small company demo games with pc magazines. I suppose this fits that mold...
Mandle, not Alex Kidd :smiley:
Kyria, no, it's a full game you could buy in a shop. It's not a demo from a magazine. :smiley:
According to MobyGames, it was released on Amiga, DOS (the version I have), Game Gear, Genesis, and SNES.
More little men in bowties to save. :wink:

It's not LSL 6: Shape up or slip out? I guess that would be too easy. Style looks similar.
QuoteLSL 6: Shape up or slip out
Nope :)
It's a game which in my opinion was of a proper length (if I'm not mistaken it might be even longer than Broken Sword 1). The setting is a wacky world with plenty of weird characters. Here's another one:

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.

LOL! I was about to google the character "Ray Power" and then had a moment of clarity. Cool name for a main character though. Probably been used.
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.
Yep that's the game, pretty tough and very strange but good nonetheless! ;-D
Yeah, pretty much anything published by that Tengen was out there!
Anyone can take my turn if they would like to jump in.

First picture didn't look familiar (you cleverly hid the distinctly-shaped characters), but the second one clearly is Jazzpunk (the font and the weird tech).

Is it one of those "Virtual Game Arcade" things where you can walk around and play different arcade games?
(https://i.imgur.com/6rc7SuE.png)
Same game, I swear. Also, the pixelation was not made by me but it's a filter that gets applied when your character wears nothing.
(https://i.imgur.com/FJ9uqcT.jpg)
I haven't played it, but is it X-COM 2?
It's not.
I'm 99% sure it's one of the Saints Row games but I have no clue which one... I'm guessing one of the later ones because they got progressively wackier. Is it Saints Row 4?
It is. This would have been clue #3:
(https://i.imgur.com/TqHKbly.png)
Ah, the wackiest of them all! Great choice! Here's a throwback to my childhood, I just recently completed this game after trying since I was in primary school...
(https://i.imgur.com/pMeszcJh.png?2)
XIII?
Exactly right! I finally killed that damn Mongoose just yesterday.
I never played the single-player campaign because I absolutely suck at FPS (FPSs? FPSes?), but from time to time I'd play Capture the Flag mode against my then-flatmates :)
I don't have anything right now, so do you want to have another go at it? I feel bad for having guessed it so quickly :-D
The multiplayer was great fun, I have fond memories of a gang of us youngsters passing the controllers back and forth between us!
Here's another with a distinct art style, it will probably be guessed quickly but I love it too much not to post it:
(https://i.imgur.com/UJYyXQnl.png)
Westerado
Luckslinger?
Correct, Mandle! Technically it's
Westerado: Double Barreled which was the enhanced Steam release.
If anyone hasn't heard the main theme to this game, it is a whopper:
Sorry, I will get a new image up tomorrow. Very down and out from the heat today.
Oh dammit. I completely forgot about this. Someone take over please. Sorry.
Take it! (laugh)

This is just so obvious, so I'd rather don't put my answer here.
Not obvious to me.
Come on, it is snow bros :)
Cool coin op.
Yeah, a funny type of action-plattform!
Up to you, KyriakosCH!

Ok, another easy one (for our generation, at least...)
(https://i.imgur.com/q8DiUq5.jpg)
I'm guessing "rainbow" is the keyword here. Rainbow Bros?
Not bros, but should be easy enough to find the rest of the title now :)
Rainbow Boy?
Îο, it is "Rainbow" followed by a type of landmass.
Ok, this is getting interesting :)
Rainbow Land?
Rainbow Valley?
Neither...
A more isolated type of landmass :)
Rainbow Island
Correct :)
Rainbow Islands, to be exact.
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/FjPC96K.png[/imgzoom]
Maybe the reworked version of Downfall/The Catlady?
No idea otherwise :)
The Pickman's model? I remember a game about...

None of those... next pic:

A good guess, actually! The set-up in the first pic did resemble that game...
Possibly the cutscene backdrops from a game in the Wing Commander series?
Nothing yet... a small hint: All these crops are from the same ingame screen.

OK, maybe you never heard of this game... but it's easy enough to guess:
(https://cdromance.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/231941-cliffhanger-sega-cd-screenshot-climbing-sequences-got-ported.png)
_
Ok, I've never seen that game before but basing on the character's portrait, it looks like a game based on a Silvester Stallone movie, Alpinist?
No, hold on... I meant the Cliffhanger. The Alpinist was the Polish translation of the title :D
Ah yeah I think you’re right. I was going to guess a movie franchise as well, but I couldn’t think specifically of that one (I thought maybe judge Dredd or...maybe even Predator).
You are right Pogwizd, it is indeed Sylvester Stallone in all his pixel glory!
_
Hmm... that first level on the video looks really dull in my opinion... :D
That game reminded me of that one, though:
[imgzoom]https://i.ibb.co/PC58KDW/gra-gra.png[/imgzoom]
Anyone? :)
Colorado!
Silmarils really produced some nice-looking (and often downright odd) games.
I'm out of ideas at the moment, anyone can take my go.
Correct!
Yeah, either I was too young to play it or Colorado was a bit odd indeed. I would always die pretty quick into the game and then respawn in a random place on the map not knowing what to do...
Here's a classic I've been replaying recently.

Is it...

GAMMA: 1.000000? :P
I think that's the girl's name. She must be a robot.
I think I accidentally skipped all the cutscenes for that game, but it looks every so slightly like Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
No one has it yet.
Can you share another screenshot?
Nocturne?

Golden Eye?
I think I remember this. Can you pause time in it?
I've seen that before, don't remember the name though. In my mind it was some sort of Robocop kind of deal going through office buildings. But unfortunately I haven't enough memory of where I saw it to find it again.
It looks like this flash game I played where space/time are linked. The enemies and their bullets don't move unless you do, which was a cool dynamic. I can't for the life of me remember the name though.
Oh it's definitely not SUPERHOT
Oh wow nicely done. Yeah that’s what I was thinking.
It's Robocop 3 for DOS, Amiga and Atari ST!
God dang it! I thought it was a Robocop game and looked up a list of all of them and didn't see anything that wasn't a platformer up until the era of textured 3D stuff. Robbed, robbed I say!
Quote from: CrashPL on Thu 15/10/2020 10:23:03

It was released about the same time IIRC. Yet it probably didn't fare so well.
Steve Ince of Broken Sword fame has written dialogs for So Blonde.

If it was the very big bundle, that really doesn't narrow it down that much. :grin:
QuoteIf it was the very big bundle, that really doesn't narrow it down that much.
Yes it was. I started with a small clue.
Here's another one: in this game, the number of coins that you collect directly affect your surroundings.

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.
Anybody can propose a new game.

It Came from the Desert!

You are next ^_^

Space Quest IV
Though my favourite games are SimSim and Boom.
The description for Boom and SimSim were hilarious. But I had to put this screenshot, as the previous game was It Came from the Desert. ;)
Your turn, Gilbert!
I think I'm being bad here... :=
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/jFxC486.png[/imgzoom]
The old guy reminds me of something.
This is an adventure game?
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.
^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" :=
This one is a bit tricky, or, this is not at all tricky.
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/4SF8k6V.png[/imgzoom]
Like I mentioned, it has connections with the last two games.
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.
Some obscure space quest/fan-made or not?
no.
Some obscure AGS game with "It came from" in the title? :P
Half of this sentence is correct.
What a trick! It's It Came from the Desert for TurboGrafx CD! 8-0
_
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.
At least it looks better than that ridiculous old amiga500 western game :D (iirc "The Town with no Name")
Ok and now something very easy, this is probably one of the most brilliant game of the last 15 years:

Argh - I swear I was going to guess that and then thought 'nah, too obvious'. (laugh)

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:
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.
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:
Alright, I think we all know this one?

No, but around the same time. I'm not sure how widely circulated the game was, but the developers were definitely known and had a pretty solid following online. The art style, even in the small pic I posted, is unmistakable if you know them.
It has a rather strange (and distinctive) artstyle...

Don't pay attention to those casuals. The game has to be Fox Hunt. :=
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:

Yep, that's it. It came to
GOG (https://www.gog.com/game/galador_the_prince_and_the_coward) recently, and I fell in love with it. :grin:
Your turn.
I think an actual fantasy writer was hired to write the story for it. Do you find it hard? My brother had a big box edition when it came out. I remember giving it a go at least twice and getting stuck pretty early on : )
I'll try to post sth soon.
It was hard, but really enjoyable. And it had some hilarious moments in it. :cheesy:
I wrote a Walkthrough for it, so if you want the link, just let me know. :smiley:

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. I'm looking forward to playing it but was worried I would end up getting frustrated if I got stuck, so your walkthrough will be greatly appreciated!

You're in for a treat - it's such a great game. Really love the Grave Digger's animations at the start, when he sticks his tongue out. :cheesy:

No, the game's universe isn't really tech oriented. It has more of an adventure/Indiana Jones' vibe imo.

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.
Quote from: heltenjon on Thu 25/11/2021 10:10:40

Yup, it's a DuckTales game. The full title is DuckTales: The Quest for Gold. And I wasn't kidding. The levels with the mummy jumping out on you were really close to giving me a heart attack.

Okay, let's try this:

I was thinking Dragonsphere at first, but then I noticed these lions in the corners. Are they the Scottish lion rampart?
Looks kind of like Maddog Williams, but I know it’s not that.
Jeez, where were these games when I was a kid! I can tell from that screenshot I would have loved that! :=

Conquests of Camelot: A Search for the Grail
Quote from: josiah1221 on Thu 25/11/2021 18:49:05
Ah, been a long while since I've played this one!
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.
More screenshots for those who thought it looked interesting: https://www.giantbomb.com/conquests-of-camelot-the-search-for-the-grail/3030-19759/images/
Josiah, you're on.
I thought that's QFG3 at first (but that'd be too easy).
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!
(https://i.imgur.com/GsmdSDF.png)
Simon The Sorcerer?
Odd thing is that I've never played this game but I've often seen screenshots of it and recognised its art style, so I went to Mobygames and check the screenshot section of that certain game and indeed that's the one.
I do not want to answer this, but I'm sure a number of people here should be able to get the correct answer.
One of the Discworld games?
Yes, the first! I remember that morbid graphic style!

I would recognize Rincewind anywhere... (laugh)
Discworld it is! One of my favorites :)
I guess I am up?
Oops, completely forgot about this so someone else please take over.
Take it! :-D
This is somewhat related with the last pic...

That would be Blazing Dragons, another classic fav of mine. :) I always found it strange though that it was only released on Sony Playstation and Sega Saturn, especially with it being an adventure point and click game.
Got it, Josiah1221! A very funny adventure where the dragons are heroes and the men are villains!

And another game that is somewhat related to the previous two games. :)

Nope, and nope.
Here's a hint: It's the third (and so far final) entry in a series of casual games.

Hmm I don’t think it is a third instalment in anything, but is it Starside?
Nope.

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.

Nobody gives the english name.
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.
Nobody has found the english title.
I never saw The Bible title in the stores.

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?

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)
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:

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.

almost - but without the alien species.
But pretty close.
Is the name of the game the empire or faction (or whatever) that you’re trying to infiltrate? If so, I think I know it but just have to track down this name! Was actually quite a popular game way back when.

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.

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.
The next round is up for grabs.
Okay

One of the Ultima games? 5 maybe?
Not even an Ultima game.

You turn.
Sorry for the delay, I've been busy. :smiley:
Anyway, who recognises this little gem?

Wow, that was quick! :cheesy:
Now, should I be really mean, and tell you to put the *
EXACT* title? *

Or should I just tell you that the '
Mandril' isn't necessary?
Decisions, decisions. :tongue:
Hehe, just kidding. Over to you, Captain. Well done. :grin:
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...
(https://i.ibb.co/QJKBhhK/ss-f4c9d2b8ba38e2405bf42a21cd2c8681a4e034df-1920x1080.jpg)
Ooh, excellent game, Captain. :grin:
I'm not going to name it because I just had a turn. But I really enjoyed playing it. :wink:
Mad Dog Williams?
Not Mad Dog. Much, much more recent.
Here's another screenshot:

Indeed, it is The Corruption Within, me being a little sneaky as I was the writer / designer for that game.

No, it's an adventure game.

That's Goetia.
You play as a spirit - the white orb - investigating events of the past in an abandoned mansion.
Well done Frodo.
Sorry, I don't have anything at the moment.

Oh, it's a Christian game. I haven't played it, but don't they have titles like "Soldier of Light" or "Soldier of Faith"? Purely guessing here.
Good grief, Heltenjon! I'll be more direct:

Here a screenshot from Atari 800.
I'm surprised Commodore 64 does not have this game. Vic 20 has.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FggB-bHXgAIoW2Z?format=png&name=small)
I found it with Google, but I consider that cheating, so I won't post an answer. Apparently the High Tollah pictured in the last screenshot was a jab at the ayatollah regime then taking power in Iran.
Is it "Datestones of Ryn"
StarQuest: Rescue at Rigel
That's right.
Your turn.
Nice - that was quite fun hunting it down.
I'm not sure if we already had this one:
(https://i.imgur.com/1bDpeVo.png)
I think The Last Half of Darkness?
Yup, that's it.
I watched a let's play of it. I guess it makes sense to decapitate someone just to take his shovel :D

I can't think of anything, so anyone can jump in and take my turn.
Well, you probably never heard of this game but a single pic should be enough to guess:

What I don't get about Popeye (who iirc is based on a real sailor) is how he can smoke from the other side of his (drawn) mouth. Very Picasso-esque :=
Popeye 3: WrestleCrazy
Correct, Volcan! ;)
No idea why they took the Popeye license (or perhaps they didn't) to make an intergalagtic wrestling game...

Afterburner
No.
Hehe. Got you tricked.
I feel like this is a background for a brawler. Rampage 2000 maybe?
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.
Sky Target
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.
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.
An Outrun hack.
They replace the car with the plane.
Again, pure guessing.
(laugh) (laugh) (laugh) (laugh) (laugh) (laugh) (laugh) (laugh)
Big hint: You have the genre right.
But it's not Outrun and it's not a hack.
This is what will really happen in the game.
Is it Power Drift?
Quote from: abstauber on Wed 04/01/2023 12:01:23Is it Power Drift?
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.
I actually played this on MAME over 20 years ago, even though the emulation speed wasn't great at the time.
Anyway - anyone recognizes this?

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.)

Bump
Gloom?
Ion fury?
Prodeus?

Double Dragon - the movie!

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.
Yeah, better than the movie! :-D
Sorry for the kanji:

But I'll just wait a bit so other people may have a chance to guess it.
I don't see the image on my computer... Do you see it? ???

Actually I could see it when using a
very old version of the Opera browser (before they ditched their own Presto engine and moved to Chromium) at work.
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.
Spoiler
BTW the image link spoiled everything as the game's name is shown in the filename.
Another nitpicking: The texts are not Kanji. They're Hirakana.
Quote from: Gilbert on Wed 29/11/2023 10:26:52Another nitpicking: The texts are not Kanji. They're Hirakana.

And I can't find the name of the game. :~(
Still, I can describe it for the next person (who's hopefully better at googling than me) to look up.
I'm pretty sure it's a SNES game, and in it you have to take pictures for a tabloid while moving along the level. I remember encountering it in a YouTube video about a bunch of obscure games.
I shall keep searching until I find it's name though. :-D

It definitely wasn't easy trying to look up old RTS games. I wasn't even sure if it was in fact Empire, since it was Empire Deluxe that I initially found, and those extra colours nearly made me overlook it. (laugh)

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.

Another screenshot please? :smiley:
And is the name Solomon's... something? or is it completely different? :confused:
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:
Spoiler
恰哥與肥佬 (Original Chinese title, translate to somewhat like "handsome guy and fat guy")
Pocket Runner (Shown from the Korean page)

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?)
Although now I'm not sure if I should give you the turn. I mean, you did do a lot of research and it is a VERY obscure game.
I'll let you and Frodo decide.
Gilbert should get the turn. He found the correct name. :smiley:

Agreed.
Your turn Gilbert. (nod)

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.
Anyway, next one:

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.)
As for the screenshot. Is that
Dragon Quest VIII?
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.

Correct! That's fast, in memory of the great Sugiyama Koichi and Toriyama Akira.
Your turn is next.

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)

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?

Cult?
Quote from: Volcan on Tue 19/03/2024 01:27:25Cult?
Wow, that was fast! :shocked:
Yes, it is indeed Cult. Cult 1 & Cult 2 are fun wee games. :wink:
Your turn, Volcan. :smiley:

/me went check. It's called Robotrek in the west.
That's right.
You turn.
Okay.

Might and Magic.
I have this game on my computer.
Now, that is fast.
It was supposed to be tricky, because this console version was never released in the west.
This game was the sole reason I decided to have that console instead of the other two competitors (the Super Famicom and the Mega Drive) and it was indeed the best choice.
Anyway, your turn!

Slenderman: The 12 Pages?
Although it looks like a meta thingy.
Nope.

No.
It's like Pac-Man in secret level in Wolfenstein 3d.
If you take a dot, all ghosts turn blue and you can eat them.
The game will finish if you take all papers from the wall
I'm fairly sure I've seen this game in a Youtube video which talked about all of the 3DS eShop games, back when the online store closed down. But I don't have a couple of hours to find the exact video. So a quick glance around will hopefully have to suffice.
It it by any chance Escape From Forest?
Or maybe Dementium - The Ward?
