    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 :p ), 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:

    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.

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

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

    Simon the Sorcerer! Wonderful game! Absolutely brilliant! :D

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

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

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

    Is that Manic Miner??

    If so...one of my favourite C64 games

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

    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.

    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. :o

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