I get a Beneath a Steel Sky vibe... But I don't think that's it

It's not a point'n'click.

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).

With that second screen, I guess you'll find easily:

Mercenaries?
I think that was the name of the game I'm thinking of. $:-\$

The idea is right, but the word is wrong.

Hired Guns!

Hired Guns!

Oh yeah!
Totally cult to me!
One day, I'll do a remake, oh yeah one day I'll do a remake...

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 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...

Danvzare · Fri 29/07/2016 11:28:53

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.

As for the current game, hmm... Myst?

Amayirot Akago · Fri 29/07/2016 13:28:40

It's misty, but it's not Myst

Return to Zork?

Amayirot Akago · Sat 30/07/2016 20:26:18

Return to right answers, more like

Well done, Gilbert, you're up!

Gilbert · Sun 31/07/2016 17:05:00

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.

Mandle · Mon 01/08/2016 00:56:07

Okay...stealing it then...

Here's an easy one:

Atavismus · Mon 01/08/2016 00:58:09

Deus Ex

Mandle · Mon 01/08/2016 01:01:07

Correct...and still one of my favorite games of all time!

But damn man: 2 minutes? It took me longer than that to find, save and upload the image...

Over to you!

EDIT: Also: YAY 200th post!

Same here!
Deep gameplay, large freedom, strong world and story.
An important step in the game history imo.

But how can you forget this game?!
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.
