Guess the Video Game (with Screenshots)

Gamer Bhoy 89

There was a "Guess the Game" a good while ago but it was done using text descriptions of the game and I'm kind of surprised there was no picture thread made, so I thought I'd start one, if anyone wants to partake.

Simple rules;

• Guess the game from the presented image
• Let the poster confirm if you are correct or incorrect. If it's incorrect, we will keep going until someone gets it
• Hints can be provided by the poster of the image
• The person with the correct answer goes next (or can hand it off to someone else if they want).
• You can use Google Images to help with your guess (right click and select "Search Google for Image")
• If you can't upload a picture directly to Boards, you can use IMGur or TinyPic (or any image hosting website you want) and provide the link to the uploaded image
• You can be lightly creative with your screenshots if the original image is too obvious (zoom in, crop edges)
• It has to be a screenshot from a playable game that is currently released

DONT'S

• No chiming in to help others
• Don't show the name of the game in the URL or File Name
• Don't present more than one image per turn
• Don't tamper with the clarity of the screenshot (eg: Photoshop-esque filters, contrast, saturation and flipping)
• No bullshots or promotional images
• NO HUGE, MASSIVE IMAGES that take up or overlap the entire screen

MOST IMPORTANTLY -- HAVE FUN

I'll start with an easy one that's easy to guess:

Yupp, all yours.

One of the first games I had as a kid too. Well, at least one of the most memorable early games I had!

Otherwise known as "How many bloody sharks swim in the same underwater area"

I think the hint to Google image search may make this a bit easy....

Then all you do is find the game on youtube... printscreen and then post it :pac:

I loved Sly Spy, just waiting on Retro's super tough Japanese screenshot of a game that sold 5 copies.

Retr0gamer

Shouldn't be too difficult. Plenty of clues

Japanese game but a European exclusive in English.

The King of Fighters...

Rwverse Google image search makes this very easy. Surely the rule about photoshopping should be encouraged to help get around Google image search if that's possible.

Retr0gamer

Yeah but which king of fighters.

I'm guessing you'd use Google at a pub quiz too

California games?

Mikie?

This is weird, I actually had that game but couldn't remember the name so was googling and came across Mikie, nah, I thought, that's not it, kept looking. Watched a video and that is the game I had. The name Mikie isn't familiar to me at all though, very weird.

Skerries

I thought it was Mikie as well
It was an arcade game which I later had but I remember it being in a classroom room setting though

Hope ye don't mind the rule bending but I'll post 2, 1 old because it's awesome to reminisce and 1 new for the youngins. Whether ye want to pick and answer just one or have 2 different people guess and post pics each if correct, I dunno.

Old school

Another old school game I spent hours on...

Looks like Paradroid, but I think not. I know the game, can't think of the name though! Definitely C64.
