Guess the game

[Jan]

No idea of Jan's.

Spoiler

Wolfenstein 2D

?

You're more or less right. It's

Spoiler

Castle Wolfenstein

by Muse Software from 1981, a game that actually inspired John Romero and others in ID Software when, a decade later, they were choosing settings for their much more famous 3D game.

You're more or less right.

Ha! Wild guesses FTW!

[Ameena]

Here's one that's probably pretty obscure...looks like Imgur has changed their layout rather substantially since I last went on the other day but hopefully this will work...

[Jan]

Hm, it doesn't seem to be working...

[Saumun]

My last one is from

Outpost

.

And this ?

[Gambit37]

@Ameena : I'm not sure where you got that code but it's not valid for forums. If you can post the URL from your address bar for the image you want to display, I can look at it for you.

@Sauman: I definitely recall the game, but I'm a bit vague on the name. Possibly

Spoiler

Bionic Commando

?

[Saumun]

Yup... It is indeed

Spoiler

Bionic Commando

This should be very simple:

And does anyone recognise this not very... excellent... game?

[Ameena]

Oh, oops...yeah, Imgur doesn't have the handy little list of copy-paste links any more, just the one I posted up there . Here is the actual URL for the pic...

Jan's first pic I recognise straight away -

Spoiler

Frogger

. The second one reminds me of

Spoiler

Lands of Lore III

, just from the style of the graphics but I know it's not that. Maybe one of its predecessors (which I've never played)?

Yes, indeed.

Nope. Now when I'm thinking of it, it may remind of LoL, but it's not this, not even the genre - this is a full 3D action game (with only a couple of RPG features).

I don't recognise yours, but it looks quite funny .

[Jan]

Right, this one has not been answered yet:

And does anyone recognise this not very... excellent... game?

And I'm adding to more games to keep Saumu... to keep all of you occupied . This:



And this:

[Saumun]

I'll start by saying that i've no idea about Ameena's.

Of Jan's, i only know the middle one...

Spoiler

Rise of the Triad

.
The first one looks familiar. I think maybe i've seen it being played, but not played it myself. Can't name it anyway.

A new one from me:

Rise of the Triad

Thats's right!

[Sophia]

Saumun's is

Spoiler

Flashback

.

Mine was

Spoiler

Legend of the Mystical Ninja

, otherwise known as

Spoiler

Ganbare Goemon: Yukihime Kyuushutsu Emaki

in Japan.

[Gambit37]

Pretty sure Jan's is

Spoiler

Witch Haven

Indeed .

That leaves this one unanswered:

And this:

[Ameena]

Hmm, don't recognise that one at all, though I did recognise

Spoiler

Rise of the Triad

, well, not so much recognise as wonder whether that was what it was, possibly from some vague memory of watching my dad play it (I don't think I really bothered, though I do remember sneaking up to my parents' room to look at the piece of paper containing the cheat code ).
Here's another image from mine...I'm not really surprised no-one recognises it but I thought it was worth a go . I have no idea how to make the images show directly since Imgur removed the really handy link thingys, but here you go anyway...

[Gambit37]

@Ameena: If you go to the page of your Imgur image, right click on the image and there should be an pop-up menu with an option like "Copy image address" or "Copy image URL". Select that, then paste it into your post and wrap it in the forum IMG tags. This should then show your image embedded in your post. I updated your post that way

[Saumun]

Sophia got mine...

Here's another:

[Jan]

Alright, my last picture was from

Spoiler

Robinson's Requiem

- not a very good game, by the way, boring and with ugly graphics.

[Jan]

And what about this one:





This game featured ugly graphics and horrible sound effects, but we loved it.

[Saumun]

No idea about that one. I can only recall ever playing three flight sims, and that wasn't one of them.

[Gambit37]

Sauman's last one is

Spoiler

Wonderboy

. I only found it in one scrappy little arcade near the Palace Pier on Brighton seafront. That arcade always felt ancient, as did the game itself.

[Ameena]

Okay Gambit, I'll try that next time I think of a pic to post . My last one was from an Atari game called

Spoiler

Magic Storybook

, which I can remember occasionally playing (and having fun with) when I was around the age it was aimed at .

[Gambit37]

Oh and Jan's is

Spoiler

Chuck Yeager Flight Simulator

. I never played it but I had a friend who was totally obsessed with it!

Who remembers this classic arcade game?

[Ameena]

Ooh, I think I recognise that from the Atari - is it called

Spoiler

Bomb Jack

?

[Gambit37]

Spot on Ameena

[oh_brother]

I recognised

Spoiler

Flashback

and

Spoiler

Bomb Jack

, but that was it.

I think there are no open ones left? Here is something new:

[Gambit37]

Easy, peasy. That's

Spoiler

Knightmare
