Thread game: Where's that from?

BeerWolf

Fairly simple game.

Basically post a screen shot [no cropped pictures...] from any video game (Don't go for such obscure games though that nobody would have a hope of knowing ), and have others guess what it is. 100% certainty answers follow up with a screenshot of another game, ancient or recent.

People might cheat using certain methods... but eh - you can always view a video on youtube and take your own screenshot.

Anyways, to get the ball rolling, an easy one:

Falthyron

Sam and Max: Freelance Police!

An oldie, but a classic!

BeerWolf

Lure of the Temptress


This one was very ahead of it's time:

BeerWolf

Hi-Octane --- took my awhile >_<;


Anyways, here's an EASY one - easily tell what it is right off the bat... and if not, you're kinda young then :P

Ok, i'm not going to post a picture because i'm only 99.999999999% sure that BeerWolfs picture is Myst. But then my inner mind is also whispering Riven... But i'm gonna stick with Myst.

Goof Troop!

Something a little bit trickier...

BeerWolf

^ Hardwar

Initially thought it was Microsoft's Urban Assault >_<;


Aight, easy one - can even play it on your smartphone:

Right-click, 'Save Image As'...

We should probably rename the files we upload to prevent this kind of work-around!

Simon the Sorcerer! Wonderful game! Absolutely brilliant!

Another oldie, but a great game! Played it years ago on an Amiga, iirc!

Skerries

ah Cruise for a Corpse which came on about 10 disks

Wossack

ugh geez, looks like manic miner - evil game

BeerWolf

Not a clue, but I cheated from that screenshot name...

"Lords of Chaos" :pac:

This one 'might' be a bit harder - awesome game though:

Zero-Cool

Is that Manic Miner??

If so...one of my favourite C64 games

EDIT: Sorry, can't see the manic miner pic anymore, weird.

^ Absolutely no idea, but wrong on count with regards to the "Manic Miner" answer still.

Anyways, my previous pic again:

Slot Machine

Terra Nova! And I've only played the demo. Can't post images so I had to chop out the start of this URL i.imgur.com/OWkxNAT.png

Might be a tricky one.

That's Hired Guns on the Amiga, super game. I can't post pics atm so someone else feel free. (Great thread btw.)

/Edit: Nabbed this off the net, played it an awful lot as a kid.

People posting obscure Atari/Amiga/Commodore 64 games might be a bit hard and cause loss of interest in the thread....considering probably half the members of the forum started with a NES or Megadrive.

Old post relating to members ages

As for most recent pic...I've no clue whatsoever

Good old americanisation of history. In Europe people were very unlikely to have owned a NES and more likely an 8-bit or 16-bit home computer.

Sinclair Spectrum here!

That's what I was thinking. If the consensus is for less c64/128/amiga/spectrum games, I can reveal the name of the gem I posted and pass the turn.

Wossack

think if its not guessed after 24/48hrs should be revealed, and you get to go again

Well, we are 48 hours now so I'll reveal.

Dan git, that was like only the 2nd one I would have gotten, been looking for that on SNES recently on Adverts to no avail

Wasn't the case on my road, all my friends either started with a NES or Megadrive. Only 1 or 2 had an old Amiga, Amstrad or Commodore.

Anyways, still can't get the new image either :P
