Yes, it's

For the NES. In my opinion, the best version, because they expanded the rather simplistic arcade game into a pretty vast adventure with some RPG elements.

...thought I would be sneaky and use a (relatively) recent game that just looks like it was made a couple of decades ago :D. It is a very fun game, though :).
How about this one? I don't think it's been used so far...

Jan, you could always go back to quotes. That was fun, anyway, I sort of miss it.

This one is a very hard nut I bet - maybe Saumun has to go to his limits now :D
I loved it, but there was a situation when I hit a bug - or I was too dumb, means, I couldn't finish it - short before the end.
Just looked around and found it again - and with an Atari-emu I will try it a for 2nd time. Have to recommend it - it's really worth it! Pure puzzle game!
It's a fantasy/scifi-scenario.

Ah - you missed a jewel! Not really well-known, completely underrated. It's

After all it's an adventure. You're in the control-center, and to the left there are 5 switches to monitor one of the 5 mobiles.
Each one with special abilities. You move them around to find typical puzzle-items. Basically that's it, but there are some tricky mazes (with no map at all) and you have to avoid enemies, you just got three item-slots per mobile, they run out of fuel and have to be repaired by other and whatever. Not a big superior game, but it can entangle one...

wow.. I can't believe I've missed this thread the entire time. This is pretty cool. I see so many games I've played. Saumun, Psygnosis was one of my favorite companies. you posted a game of theirs I think no one guessed :)

Also, CS

Elvira series had that great cook book idea with the red transparent plastic to reveal the ingredients to make the spells.. it was a great game, leaning on DM style gaming a little but handling so much in it's own way
This had it's run on C=64 on Amiga.. but honestly I played it more in arcade..

Hmm, my images aren't displaying any more - just tried going to Imgur to reupload the last one and it doesn't seem to be loading so it must be down right now. Anyone who wants to have another look at my imags will evidently have to wait until it's back up again ;).
Also, I don't recognise these latest ones :(.
