Bit too many shades there for a Speccy game, I feel. Course I don't have any better ideas as it is

AnasAbdin · Mon 03/10/2016 09:34:49

No right guesses so far..
here's a less cropped shot:

Er... hm... looks like Speccy graphics to me

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?

AnasAbdin · Mon 03/10/2016 16:41:46

Correct Mandle!
This is Goonies for msx

OMG...WTF???!!!!

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?

New image coming soon!!!

EDIT:

Cropped image:

That midi of "Goonies Are Good Enough" that kicks in now and then had me weeping tears of nostalgia on several levels...

I had a feeling you would be the one who got it, Cassie

It was indeed my own MAGS game from way back when:

Speed Buggy: Manifold Destiny

Over to you!
