Guess the game

[money]

Egor gives it away

Spoiler

Frankenstein

... was so close...

My last one was

Spoiler

The Munsters

The one from a while back with purple/pink and aliens was

Spoiler

The Tone Rebellion

...

New for today - if you have played this will be easy - almost unforgettable!

[Saumun]

That looks kind of familiar. I think it has been posted before.

Spoiler

The Tone Rebellion

looks very interesting. I think i might give that one a try.

[Ameena]

Yup, Money, you're right about mine . Yours has been posted before...by me, in fact .

[money]

blast I missed that, trawling back through and I thought I had captured them all... must do better!

think this is new:

[Saumun]

Ah... Now that one i know. It's

Spoiler

Airball

!

[Saumun]

Just had a very quick skim through. Don't think this one has been posted before:

[Ameena]

Hmm, don't recognise that one.

[Saumun]

Since there are no takers, it's

Spoiler

D/Generation

.

Now, before this thread started i'd have said this next one was an absolute, solid, 100% gimme.... but since i'm now more aware of how different platforms and genres dominated in various countries, i'm not sure.
That being said, i reckon anyone from the UK around 40 or over should know it:

[Jan]

Finally a game that I know! And I'm even not from the UK and still not 40!

Spoiler

Knight Lore!

[Gambit37]

I recall the screenshot but couldn't remember the name until I reveal Jan's spoiler.

What about this one?

[Saumun]

@Jan... Correct!
@Gambit... Arrrgh! Definitely played this, but the name isn't coming.

[Ameena]

Don't recognise either of the two latest images, lol. I'll post a new one of my own at some point if I can think of a game I haven't posted up yet...

Hmm, about this one...

[Saumun]

Sheesh.... Don't know that one either.

I'm sure Gambit's is Sword of.......... erm, something.

How about this:

[Sophia]

That's

Spoiler

Primal Rage

I played that a few times in the arcade. It never really interested me though... VF2 was much more my cup of tea for an arcade fighting game.

[Saumun]

Yep...

Spoiler

Primal Rage

.

[Ameena]

Here's another piccy from the same game...

[Saumun]

Don't know it, but given that there is one word all over the screen.... i'll take a guess at

Spoiler

Twins

?

[Gambit37]

I don't know Ameena's last one. My last one was

Spoiler

Sword of Sodan

, a pretty game with zero gameplay.

How about this classic from the arcades?

[Saumun]

Dammit... Knew it was

Spoiler

Sword of

something. Never owned it, but remember playing it on a friend's Amiga.

The last one is

Spoiler

Kung Fu Master

..... Wadaah!

[oh_brother]

I think Ameena's is the only one not guessed so far. It looks like a Nintendo game, but in any case I don't recognise it.

I almost posted the exact same screen shot of Body Blows I posted a few months ago, I must be getting forgetful. Anyway, here's one from the pre-ST/Amiga age

[Saumun]

Hmmm... Looks very Atari 2600 in style, but i'm not sure what it is.

I'm gonna stay with the older stuff:

[Jan]

Oh_Brother's is the

Spoiler

Wizard of Wor

!

Which reminded me of an infamous game:



the cartridgers of which ended up burried in the deserts of New Mexico .

[Saumun]

That would be

Spoiler

ET: The Extra-Terrestrial

.

Regarding that game, did you see a documentary about it (and other things) a couple of years back called "Atari: Game Over" ? Worth watching.

[Ameena]

None of my screenshots are likely to be from any kind of console game, since I've never really been a console gamer (played a small number of Playstation and XBox games but that's about it...and yes I mean the original iterations of those consoles, not their "sequels" ) - pretty much any pic form me will be either Atari or PC stuff .
Anyway, Saumun was super-close with one guess - it's a game called

Spoiler

Mega Twins

from the Atari (we had it in a pack containing two other games,

Spoiler

Robocod

and

Spoiler

Rodland

, the latter of which has already been posted on here, I seem to recall).
Jan's I recognise as I've heard about this game, since it seems to be well-known for how utterly terrible it was -

Spoiler

a game apparently based on ET

.

Now then, I don't think this one has been posted up before, but this game has been going for quite some time and I'm running out of games that I haven't posted yet (or been beaten to posting by someone else ) so I'm starting to forget whether I'm posting doubles or not...

[Jan]

That would be

Spoiler

ET: The Extra-Terrestrial

.

Indeed you're right. And thanks for the suggestion, I'll watch it.

I have absolutely no idea about Ameena's - looks like a vertical Sim City to me.

[oh_brother]

Oh_Brother's is

Spoiler

the Wizard of Wor!

Yes, I was wondering if anyone else would recognise it! And Saumun was right with the Atari 2600.

I recognised Jan's (thankfully never played it) but I don't know Saumun's or Ameena's. Saumun's looks like an beat-em up from maybe the C64 era. As Jan says Ameena's could be some sort of sim.

Spoiler

Sim Office Building

?? (that is a wild guess, it probably didn't need spoiler tags)

[money]

Ameena's I'm sure is

Spoiler

Sim Tower

- everyone close with guesses

[Jan]

LOL. It somehow reminded me my childhood. I always wanted my father to tell my fairy tales but he only knew three or four by heart, so it got boring, and so then he came with a "fairy tale" of his own creation, a very strange, modern one, called "The Tale of the Skyscraper" where the point was that he was describing in a detail how comrades from a local municipality bureau decided to raze a street of old houses and have a skyscraper built there. I was amazed and it was very interesting and everything but of course after some time it became repetitive and boring again, so my father came with a super-dooper improvement, a "new" "fairy tale" called "The Tale of the Earthscraper" which was basically the same except this time the building was beneath the surface. My classmates and all friends where completely amazed when I told them that story and I was very proud of my father.

[Saumun]

Nice.... I suppose a very deep dungeon could be an Earthscraper.

Saumun's looks like an beat-em up from maybe the C64 era.

The screenshot from mine is the arcade version, but it was indeed ported to 8 bit machines.

[Gambit37]

Sauman's is

Spoiler

Yie Ar Kung Fu

. I'd recognise those blue pants anywhere!
