Guess the game

@Saumun: it reminds me of

Spoiler

Sid Meier's

Spoiler

Pirates!

but the graphics looks a bit different. But perhaps it's a different version of the game... or my memory fails me.

Soph is right on mine

@Jan... It is indeed

Spoiler

Sid Meier's Pirates!

(Atari ST version)

OK, what's this game?

Saumun · Post by **Saumun** » Tue Jun 14, 2016 12:31 am

That would be

All the way back to 1983! Technically brilliant at the time, but bloody hard....

No idea. I knew

Spoiler

Pirates!

though. Played that a lot of the ST.

Saumun · Post by **Saumun** » Fri Jun 17, 2016 10:20 pm

It is

Spoiler

3D Ant Attack

Okay.... How about this:

Since it has been over a week, it seems this thread has died (since it was previously getting almost daily posts).... So the last one was

Ooh yeah, I actually sort of forgot about this thread...here, have another picture

I don't recognise the screenshot, but i'll take a punt on

Spoiler

It Came from the Desert

.... purely because it had some kind of giant creepy crawly (don't think it was a spider though), and errr.... a desert.

No, that's

Hehe yes, Sophia is right - you were seeing the image on a much larger scale than it actually is, I think, Saumun

Remember this?

Easy!

Spoiler

Defender of the crown.

Were the graphics really that good?!

Guillaume · Post by **Guillaume** » Tue Jun 28, 2016 2:15 pm

Argh, meant to spoiler that but curse being a noob... also how long will my posts require moderation (it prevents me from editing it!) ?

Post by **Ameena** » Tue Jun 28, 2016 4:09 pm

Hmm no, sadly not...I'm guessing you have to aim the catapult in order to wreck the castle, though? Sounds fun...

Jan · Post by **Jan** » Tue Jun 28, 2016 4:15 pm

Can you accidentally hit one of your own soldiers, preferably that one on the horse? That would be even funnier...

Post by **Sophia** » Tue Jun 28, 2016 6:26 pm

Guillaume, I edited in the spoiler tags and also made your posts no longer require moderation.

Saumun · Post by **Saumun** » Tue Jun 28, 2016 7:32 pm

The screenshot is from the Amiga version. The 16bit versions looked very nice for the time (1986), but sadly IMO the gameplay was somewhat lacking. There was a main conquest part and a few mini-games like jousting, castle raids, and the siege engine. Unfortunately they were all very short and the game was a little on the easy side.

@Jan.... Lol, unfortunately not! I'd have liked a nod to python where you could shoot livestock.

oh_brother · Post by **oh_brother** » Wed Jun 29, 2016 8:41 pm

I played

Spoiler

Defender of the Crown

a lot when I was younger. Actually I tried a flash version recently but I kept losing. Either it got harder or I forgot what the required strategy was (I didn't try for long, I must be honest).

How about this one. Bonus points if you can name the craft being piloted.

Saumun · Post by **Saumun** » Wed Jun 29, 2016 9:01 pm

Well... It's

Spoiler

Carrier Command

, but no bonus point for me. I can't name the craft.

oh_brother · Post by **oh_brother** » Wed Jun 29, 2016 11:23 pm

Correct! No bonus point though.

Saumun · Post by **Saumun** » Thu Jun 30, 2016 4:55 am

Getting to the point where i'm starting to forget what i've already posted, and don't want to go through twenty something pages to see if i have. So i hope i haven't done this one before.....

Post by **Gambit37** » Thu Jun 30, 2016 1:09 pm

I believe that is

Spoiler

The Settlers

.

Saumun · Post by **Saumun** » Thu Jun 30, 2016 2:10 pm

You believe correctly.

Post by **Ameena** » Thu Jun 30, 2016 3:15 pm

Hmm, I was thinking it reminds me of a game I used to own,

Spoiler

Settlers II

...so it looks like I'm close enough

.

How about this, an old favourite of my dad's...

From all games presented here this one would win the 'evil graphics award (EGA)' easily. Would even beat Pong I bet

(well, at this time it was surely a challenge for the programmers...)

No idea about Ameena's.

Anyone remember this?

Post by **Gambit37** » Thu Jun 30, 2016 5:28 pm

That looks a bit like

Cadaver

? Although I think the colours aren't right.
