You're right CaptainD, this thread is too good to let it die.
I propose Parasol Stars (sequel of Rainbow Islands).

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:)
 

Atavismus

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.

Alien Storm?
Yes it is! Congratz Gilbert!
Your turn ;)

It reminds me of James Pond... but where's his tail?

Gilbert

Nope. I think that guess is far off.

LostTrainDude

Oh wait... But it's... Bonanza Bros.! 8-0

Gilbert

Correct! I think once you recognise the characters it would be too easy.

Your turn.

LostTrainDude

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?

LostTrainDude

Nope, I'm afraid!

You're gonna kill the thread again! :P

Is it Fifa 1983? :wink:

LostTrainDude

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.

CaptainD

C64 version of Gauntlet perhaps?
 

LostTrainDude

Great game, but no :( (Of course it's knight-related)
"We do not stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing."

LostTrainDude

Nope, this one has a third person view. 2D sprites over a 3Dish environment.

Next hint will be another screenshot :)
