Guess the game

[Jan]

Yeah, you are right, Saumun. It was an excellent game, very unfairly forgotten and overshadowed by its slightly younger "sister". I've never heard of your game, will have to check it on the internet.

Right, so now something very very simple:

[Saumun]

Aaaarrgh... For some reason, the name of this just won't come to me. It's on the tip of my tongue!

Spoiler

Another World

is definitely worth a look. I played it on the Amiga, but it was available on other platforms too. It's a very good game... My only complaint being that it's quite short, and a little on the easy side.

[Saumun]

It just came to me...

Spoiler

Prince of Persia

(I hope).

Try this one:

[Jan]

It just came to me...

Spoiler

Prince of Persia

(I hope).

Correct. Alright, Mr. Smart, now, smart this:



This should keep you occupied for the rest of the day.

I don't know your one, again. I've certainly not played it.

[Saumun]

Pretty sure that is

Spoiler

Aladdin

.

Mine is from a late 80s coin-op game that made it onto home computers (the screenshot is from the coin-op version)

[Sophia]

Spoiler

R-Type

!
Mine was

Spoiler

Super Mario Bros 3

, by the way.

So here's a screenshot:

[Saumun]

That is from

Spoiler

Vulcan Venture (aka Gradius 2)

. Loved those games!

And of course you're right about

Spoiler

R-Type

!

[Chaos-Shaman]

Another world, didn't play that one, don't rec Jan's either. Kid's and I loved playing Prince of Persia together.

what about this


The movement in this game I believe can be duplicated with RTC info screens up to 7 buttons which is not much more than movement only. Using the teleport to location an infinite number of buttons can be used. Much of what is done here can be done with RTC if one has the graphics and the patients. Like the tester Town Banville, there can be a lot of creativity, it be just the tip of outside the box. Lots of ideas are swirling here. Imagine a cross over of games

[Saumun]

I think there's only CS' pic and Ameena's quote still live (don't know either of them), so i'll try another...

Anyone remember this?

[Ameena]

Bah, logged on too late to guess

Spoiler

Prince of Persia

or

Spoiler

Aladdin

, both of which I guessed instantly . Didn't know any of th rest. My quotes were from

Spoiler

Diablo II (the first quote was Diablo himself when he first appears for you to fight at the end of the game, the second is by Deckard Cain and is probably the best-known quote from the game)

.
Now then, Saumun's reminds me of a game we had the demo for back on the Atari and which I played a few times...something about the colour scheme and that weird...large-faced...bad guy...thingy, so I'm gonna guess

Spoiler

Harlequin

. But it was a very long time ago so I could easily be totally wrong .

[Saumun]

You're not wrong Ameena. It is indeed

Spoiler

Harlequin

!

[Jan]

Pretty sure that is

Spoiler

Aladdin

.

Indeed. And now for something completely different:

[Saumun]

Not 100% sure on which edition because i haven't played them for ages, but i think it's

Spoiler

Sim City 2000

.

Ameena got

Spoiler

Harlequin

, so i'll try another:

[Chaos-Shaman]

Sim City, fall asleep and wake up to it on fire everywhere, lol. I remember those days.

No clue with your last one Saumun.

[Saumun]

My last one is a coin-op game, and i think it only ever made it onto one of the Sega consoles... so it might be a little obscure unless you were in the arcades a lot.

[Jan]

You are right, Saumun and CS.

Damn, damn, damn. Everyone knows my images but I can't recognise anything. This is not fair, not fair! *runs away crying*

Right, a new one:

[Saumun]

Don't want to depress you Jan, but....

Spoiler

The Lost Vikings

?

[Jan]

~!@#$%^&*())(*&^%$#@!~ !!!XLFS!?HUMPF??!!

Rrrright, you asked for it:

[Chaos-Shaman]

Not sure on that one Jan.

Last clue on mine

[Saumun]

Aaah....

Spoiler

Elvira

. Not sure of the full title. Never played it, but i remember it's release.

Jan's is

Spoiler

Way Out

. I never actually owned it myself. A friend's older brother had an Atari 8-bit (can't remember the exact model... think it was the 800) and had this game.

[Chaos-Shaman]

You got it Saumun. Elvira, Jaws of Cerberus


This one was a lot of fun to play

[Saumun]

CS' latest is definitely one of the

Spoiler

Test Drive

games, but i'm not sure which. Most of what i remember about the first one is mountain roads, so i'll have a punt at

Spoiler

Test Drive 2

.

A full screenshot of my game before i reveal...

[Chaos-Shaman]

Test Drive 2, you got it.

Still don't know the one above.

How about this one

[Saumun]

Dammit... Don't know! I was on a roll for a while.
My first instinct was

Spoiler

International Karate

, because of the mountain... but i'm pretty sure it's not that because i don't remember a blue guy in it.

[Jan]

Jan's is

Spoiler

Way Out

. I never actually owned it myself. A friend's older brother had an Atari 8-bit (can't remember the exact model... think it was the 800) and had this game.

Ha! Gotcha! Close, but not close enough! You're not right this time, mate! It's its successor, the

Spoiler

Capture the Flag

. But, hey, it was rather difficult, wasn't it, so I give you the credits. I ran it on my 800 XL, it was rather a beast, actually, handling a split-screen first-person real-time 3D! Remarkable when you think about it.

And one for good night:

[Saumun]

Damn, Damn, Damn!!!

One wrong, don't know CS', and don't know Jan's latest... It's all falling apart!

[Ameena]

Aww, don't know any of these. Not sure I can be arsed messing around with images to try and upload one of my own so I'll probably just stick to quotes once I think of another one.

[terkio]

[Saumun]

Okay... My previous game was

Spoiler

Wardner

.

I remember Terkio's game quite well. Pretty sure it is

Spoiler

Cadaver

.
Dont know any others, so here is my new one:

[Jan]

And one for good night:

Nobody knows? It's a shame! I specifically chose that image because anyone who has played this game should know it, it's from one of the most dangerous places in the game. Right, so this was

Spoiler

The Neverending Story

. The game was trash, really, but it has a special place in my heart because it was the first adventure game I have ever played. I was about 7 or 8 years old and my English only consisted of a few words that enabled me to run the Atari and play action games, but certainly not adventures. But I had a Czech version of this game (not a very good one, with the various special "hooks" and "commas" over Czech letters missing) but still I was thrilled by it, and my passion for adventure games was born.
