As for the others:

CS: obviously a karate game, but there were dozens of those. Can't comment on blue faces because I only had a black-and-white monitor (actually a small TV - first Soviet "Junost" and later Czechoslovak "Merkur") for my Atari. A big colour TV (Czechoslovak "Tesla") was only allowed on some Sundays.

Saumun: this game seems too "modern" for me.

Ameena: no problem, continue with the quotes. Frankly, I'd never known how to upload images and never worked with Photobucket, but I was surprised how easy it is - takes me half a minute to get the image from Google to here.

Talking about oldies-but-goldies - how about this:

Bruce Lee

. A Classic!

My game was released in '97 Jan. Thought it might have been on the edge of your range.
Never played

Neverending Story

Damn, you're right again! Back then we used to pronounce it with "K" in the middle, very much like "Brooklyn".

Yeah, it actually is one or two years beyond my range.

But surely you won't recognise this:

Saumun found my game entry, right away.
I did not find, any

The one with the roman arena could be

Spoiler

Age of empires

There were quite a few of this kind.

Hmmm... First instinct was a conversion of

Spoiler

Pole Position

from the bottom pic, but i don't remember the pit-stop screen so maybe not.

Terkio got mine. It is indeed

Spoiler

Age of Empires

.

Since Jan mentioned a game that was special in his childhood, i'll give one of mine... Try this one:

Hmmm... I've played a couple of isometric games but I can't remember if this is one of them. And no, my screenshot was not from Pole Position, although you got pretty close to the title in the second part of your reply.

Sigh. I wish I could guess at least one game here. One little, little small game. Looks like my scope was pretty limited when I was a kid - I guess I should have spent more time in my room alone behind a computer screen when I was young, instead of playing football, hiking in the highland, drinking beer and chasing local girls.

Don't know if these clues will help...
Released in the mid 80s, and the sequel caused a stir as it was released in it's beta state (against the programmer's wishes) that had a bug that meant the game couldn't be completed.

Yeah, that was a great help. *coughs*

The racing image I sent was from

Spoiler

Pitstop II

.

How about this:

Bahh, lol, every time I check the forums I always seem to have missed all the ones I knew (would have got

Spoiler

Age of Empires

) and am only left with ones I have no idea about.

Don't know Jan's.

Mine was from

Spoiler

Fairlight

.

My latest one is:

Well, it looks like some kind of fighty game, of which there have been many. It doesn't look like one of the few I've played so I'll guess at

Spoiler

Mortal Kombat

?

Fraid not! Not as popular as MK or SF2, but you controlled a group of three fighters in this. Mid 90s coin-op. Don't think it made it to any computers or consoles but i could be wrong.

Easy to guess for you dungeon raiders..

That is

Spoiler

Black Crypt

.

Saumun's has that SNK look to it so I'll guess it was some

Spoiler

King of Fighters

game but I don't know which one.
(If so, then it was on Neo Geo, so it did get a console release, just not for people who didn't have stupid amounts of disposable income)

Right on the money... it's from

Spoiler

King of Fighters '94

.

Mine was found faster than light....Lasted 49 minutes.

Since my last one was identified quickly, i'll give another:

Sorry Jan, never heard of it . Saumun's I don't recognise as I've maybe playde two FPSs ever (both the first Doom games) and it's neither of those. So I'll guess at it being either a

Spoiler

Quake

or a

Spoiler

Duke Nukem

game because off the top of my head I can't think of any others .

So do I, my guess

Duke Nuken

Played a few of those games, Jan, I think your's might be the

Spoiler

Tomato Game

or something like it.

The karate game was

Karateka

This one here was one of my favorites, early 80s

Never heard of

Spoiler

The Incredible Machine

.

I feel like i really should know CS'... but i don't. Used to love those 8-bit platformers.

Mine is not

Spoiler

Duke Nukem

, or any of the

Spoiler

Quake

games... but is very similar (as you can obviously see). It was released in 1998.

Another screenshot from the same game:

Hmmm, I'm still in the dark and don't know nothing. It's hopeless. *goes looking for a tight rope and a tall tree*

Hmm, well, I just remembered the name of one more FPS -

Spoiler

Rise of the Triad

, which I can recall seeing my dad playing at one point but don't think I ever tried myself.

Nope...
Not one of the best known FPS games, so i'll reveal.
It is

Spoiler

Blood 2: The Chosen

.

So here's another... and i'd be really surprised if nobody go this:

Didn't know any of them again.

Hint to my last one is a take on Indiana Jones.

Still don't know CS' game.

The only platformers i remember with that type of theme are

Spoiler

Rick Dangerous

(which this screenshot definitely isn't), and

Spoiler

Montezuma's Revenge

(great name ) which i remember as being more colourful than this... So i'm still in the dark!

Oh, welcome to the club! *touches around to find Saumun* *pokes someone in the eye* Ooops, sorry!

What about this:
