Name the Game

Atavismus · Mon 28/03/2016 17:28:28

It looks like "Alien Incident".

Amayirot Akago · Mon 28/03/2016 17:53:21

And that's a bingo for Atavismus! Go ahead, sir

Atavismus · Mon 28/03/2016 19:06:23

Ok thx Amayirot, let's go:

Amayirot Akago · Tue 29/03/2016 19:20:02

I'm already drawing a blank

Mind giving a hint?

Atavismus · Tue 29/03/2016 19:54:16

It's a really nice short AGS game made by a friend in 2010.

I'll have to give this one a look sometime

Somebody else take my turn in the meantime.

Danvzare · Wed 30/03/2016 13:08:01

I'll gladly take that turn.

This is THE most obscure game I know, that was released by a major company.
So good luck. You're going to need it.

Amayirot Akago · Thu 31/03/2016 14:26:17

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).

Danvzare · Thu 31/03/2016 15:07:58

Ooh, close. But no cigar.

Another screenshot for you.

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.

Amayirot Akago · Thu 31/03/2016 16:51:34

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.

Danvzare · Fri 01/04/2016 21:04:21

Another day, another hint. Although there's really not much else to show with the game... except this that is.

This is the title screen, just before the title text fades in at the top.

Cassiebsg · Fri 01/04/2016 21:24:52

uhm...

Wolf wants you?

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

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

Amayirot Akago · Sat 02/04/2016 07:48:46

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.

Danvzare · Sat 02/04/2016 09:39:04

And Amayirot Akago is correct.
The name of this Amstrad game is Hurlements.

Your turn.

Then here's another obscure title to puzzle you all.

Cassiebsg · Sat 02/04/2016 11:47:19

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

Ant attack.

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

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.
