Re: Guess the game
@Saumun: it reminds me of but the graphics looks a bit different. But perhaps it's a different version of the game... or my memory fails me.

All the way back to 1983! Technically brilliant at the time, but bloody hard....

Re: Guess the game
I don't recognise the screenshot, but i'll take a punt on .... purely because it had some kind of giant creepy crawly (don't think it was a spider though), and errr.... a desert.

Re: Guess the game
Hehe yes, Sophia is right - you were seeing the image on a much larger scale than it actually is, I think, Saumun .

Argh, meant to spoiler that but curse being a noob... also how long will my posts require moderation (it prevents me from editing it!) ?

Re: Guess the game
Hmm no, sadly not...I'm guessing you have to aim the catapult in order to wreck the castle, though? Sounds fun...

Re: Guess the game
Can you accidentally hit one of your own soldiers, preferably that one on the horse? That would be even funnier...

Re: Guess the game
Guillaume, I edited in the spoiler tags and also made your posts no longer require moderation.
Re: Guess the game
The screenshot is from the Amiga version. The 16bit versions looked very nice for the time (1986), but sadly IMO the gameplay was somewhat lacking. There was a main conquest part and a few mini-games like jousting, castle raids, and the siege engine. Unfortunately they were all very short and the game was a little on the easy side.
@Jan.... Lol, unfortunately not! I'd have liked a nod to python where you could shoot livestock.

Re: Guess the game
I played a lot when I was younger. Actually I tried a flash version recently but I kept losing. Either it got harder or I forgot what the required strategy was (I didn't try for long, I must be honest).
How about this one. Bonus points if you can name the craft being piloted.

From all games presented here this one would win the 'evil graphics award (EGA)' easily. Would even beat Pong I betoh_brother wrote:I playeda lot when I was younger.

(well, at this time it was surely a challenge for the programmers...)
