Name the Game

It is!

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'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

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

CaptainD · Wed 20/05/2015 00:29:24

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...

Mouth for war · Wed 20/05/2015 14:13:20

Haha yeah

Ok the title has 2 words, first word begins with "S" and second begins with "D"

CaptainD · Wed 20/05/2015 14:14:25

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.

Mandle · Wed 20/05/2015 14:51:51

"Starship Destiny"?

Mouth for war · Thu 21/05/2015 16:21:38

Ohh no mandle that is too great a title to spoil on this piece of crap

CaptainD · Thu 21/05/2015 18:39:42

Aurgh I can't stand it any longer!!! It's "Space Demons". But as I cheated, someone else take my go.

kconan · Thu 21/05/2015 20:54:54

Quite an obscure pull that one.

CaptainD · Mon 01/06/2015 22:00:49

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 Curse of Monkey Island.

Pretty sure that's from the excellent Book of Unwritten Tales.
