OK, so mine was

on the Amiga, a combination of text adventure with a point and click GUI. I don't remember much about it other than I didn't complete it!

Oh_brother, is that one of the

No - similar style game, but a different franchise.

Hmm, I recognise that OB's is one from the
Spoiler
Tekken
series because I recognise the names of the characters, but I couldn't say which one. I've only played the third, though, and I think the graphics in that piccy maybe look worse than I remember? So maybe the first or second game.
Mine was from a game called

No idea about that one Saumun. It looks kinda amateur though. Any clues?

I'd be struggling to give any clues for mine, other than it was a fairly standard shooter for ST or Amiga (possibly others... can't remember).
Late 80s. Varying level graphics, and not much in the way of power-ups. I had an ST at the time and quite enjoyed it.

I vaguely remember Jan's as a kid, and i think it's something to do with a sword... but at that point my memory fails me.

This next one wasn't everyone's cup of tea (due to certain content), but i liked it... Tense and atmospheric.

That's right. And the rest? The title isn't too long, but a bit obscure. Anyone?

Yours is Jason Voorhees walking to mow a meadow early in the morning II?

Pff, what is that weird game, Gambit? Come on, you can't expect us to automatically know everything. I mean, what even is that? Some weird grey walls with some kind of reflectionless mirror stuck on? And what kind of name is "Zed", anyway?

Yeah, I agree, it looks awful and hopelessly outdated. Poor low-res graphics, small and largely empty game window, lot of empty space around, interface scattered all over the place. Symbols under the "Zed" sign meaningless and direction arrows illogical. No "Help" icon, no "Tutorial", no nothing. Boooo!

Apparently it was quite popular, in fact it was huge in the late 80s. Still no guesses?
