heres how it works... A person takes a ordinary picture, and then saves it as a monochrome bitmap. The colors then turn either into black, or white. The point of the game is the guess what the picture is of. If no one can guess after 30 min of original post, another person can get to post a pic. If someone does guess, then he gets to post a pic... anyway of to the first pic (this might be hard...):

That looks so damn familiar but it's not coming to mind, any hints?
Gargh! I knew it looked familiar. |
that was fast! LOL anyway your turn...,
original pic: http://img104.exs.cx/img104/5142/200...05230ip.th.png Go Tonberries!!!!! |
Not sure if this will be easy or not :)
|
It's too small...
|
still?
|
What's it from, can you at least tell me that?
Please, I'll be good :angel: . |
game-themed :D
|
Gah, that's not really what I was looking for :bleh: .
Here's a wild guess.... uhh... |
If this topic reaches side two, I'm going... :crazy:
There I was, thinking I was a nerd, but THIS is really creepy... :D |
Hush, this is a great game :D
(and I made the pic a little bigger) :) |
Mmm, something from Diablo? Torment? Fallout? Doom? Final Fantasy?
What game is it from!? I can't get it! It's so dang hard! STARCRAFT!? It looks like something buggy... |
I can't tell what game, it would give it away instantly (plus a little googling), and that's no fun.
However, I do know that there are at least 3 people on this forum who could guess instantly, according to a topic from a few days ago... Edit: And it's a central figure in a game, not an obscure one. |
Don't ask why - I think it's "Skate or Die"... No rhyme intended... :crazy:
|
Let's hope you're right.
|
Nope! :D
Wrong genre of game. It is a console game though, but not for NES. |
I don't know, this may be a crazy guess SSX?
|
Megaman?
Wait, I'm guessing Mortal Kombat, maybe. |
SSX: Not a sports sim, it's an RPG. Also not playable on any console that SSX3 is made for (that should narrow it down).
Megaman & Mortal Combat: Sorry, no. Megaman is closer, as it's anime style, but again, wrong console. |
Quote:
|
GAH CHRONO TRIGGER?
Please say I'm right :cry: . |
MUCH closer in style, but wrong console!
It's for a console that has a word from my title in its name :D |
So it's for the Dreamcast?
Skies of Arcadia? Grandia 2? |
Yep. From one of those :)
Edit: I think my time is up, though. |
The console or one of the games?
|
Both, hehe.
|
Ah, it's Skies of Arcadia?
|
Yep, and you should be able to guess who it is now :D
|
Vyse? Is it him?
|
:blink:
Look at the picture again. Vyse doesn't have braids, nor does he use that weapon (which should be identifiable)... |
Oh sorry, LOL.
Crap, I can only remember a few characters... AIKA! Yes! The boomerang! |
Rock :ok:
Original picture: |
excelent deuction Watson
|
Thank god, well I guess it's my turn then...
For the fan of disturbing games... P.S. I see two other people in this thread, guess for Christ's sake! |
I'll take a guess, it's prob wrong though
From one of the thief games? |
No, but it is a "dark" game.
|
Blood? The eye being cut?
|
I have absolutely no idea.. :cry:
|
Nope :bleh: , it's a "serious dark" game.
|
does this game have nazi's in it? not sure if questions are allowed?
|
No Nazis, but the game did have many moral values in it.
|
F*ck it, I KNOW this game... just don't remember the correct title! :cry:
|
The cover from Sanitarium?
|
POLSUPAH!
Yes, indeedy, now you can get the character's name for sure. |
Max?
|
That's a person? :blink:
Looks like an eye to me. |
Yep, it's Max's eyeball.
It's the only game that ever made me cry, :cry: , poor Sarah :cry: K, your turn... Original Pic... |
Okies, last one for me.
|
Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned
Huge fan of that series :D |
Have fun :D
|
I don't even know how to save a picture as Monochrome bitmap.
|
K, this one is from a quite sick & twisted game...
|
american mcgee's alice?
|
I made it easy so someone would get it this time :D .
Original Pic |
:blink:
I just realised my knowledge of games is highly limited. The only game I know that has had mention in here is Grandia. |
LOL, it is easy if i can get it one first try ;). I'll find a pic give me 5
|
say i can't upload this kind of file....help?
|
convert it to a png, jpg, or gif :D
|
k here it is
|
Monkey Island 1
|
you got it :ok:
|
Cool, let's see what I can get.....
|
Monkey island murray the skull?
YAY for my great fast connection. :Brain: :Brain: :Brain: LOL LOL And it wasn't even murray. |
sorry, already done, right game though,
|
Okay here goes:
|
got me
|
Ain't it "Eternal Champions"? :blink:
|
Yup correct dude.
Can you name the character? Just as an extra aside. |
Larcen... and now you can wonder why my school-achievements went rapidly downhill somewhere around the middle of the 90s... LOL
|
Good job again, yeah fun game, favourite character for me.
Original Pic |
I must admit, I only dared to say it because of the grappling-hook... ;)
EDIT: OMFG, I even remember the stage this picture was taken in... :blink: Now, shall I be mean or shall I be nice? :twisted: |
thats the space arena isn't it, where the big cyborg guy is from?
|
Nope it ain't.
It's the one with the giant fan, Blade's arena, the dude with the glasses or googles whatever they were who was really big. |
Here is a hard one....
|
Quote:
|
Well, I'll just give it a try with that one... shouldn't be TOO hard. ;)
EDIT @ Evad: No, the cyborg dude was that cyborg dude, the black dude was the black dude... ;) |
Wait a minute wasn't the cyborg guy R.A.X? He converted himself into a cyborg to continue fighting in the future in those fights.
Blade was a human who was a bounty hunter, before he was an ex-cop. |
sorry i was mistaken, RAX is the cyborg..sorry
|
I'll guess Hitman.
|
that's so max pain
|
@ Evad: Which one? :D
|
1st
|
Yeah looking back I see it was indeed Max Payne, what was I thinking Hitman?! :wall:
|
@ Evad: *Bleeeeeeeeep* WRONG! :P :D ;)
|
crap
|
Second One then?
|
umm.. you missed my pic, eh?
|
yes, but only cause it wasn't your turn......prays to god the wrath of the admin looks kindly on his soul... :whistle:
|
You guys will never get this one, NEVER.
|
here's a wild guess: Escape Velocity
secret military picture, please ignore. |
fallout?
|
i'd guess splinter cell. but not really sure
|
It's like a spaceship thingy, it's not that hard to notice.
|
It is some 2D shooter,I am almost sure.But I am not very strong in this genre :unsure:
|
That really looks like something from friggin' Megaman.
|
zERO wING?
|
DING DING DING WE HAV A WINNA
|
And the original picture looks like?
|
Quote:
P.S. I too would like to see the original. |
It's been awhile since the last post, maybe someone else should just post up something, get it started again...
|
ooooooooh if I find a decent piccie then yups.
|
just to get the ball rolling (this should be easy):
|
meh?
who is that? anyone? |
Damn!!!
THat is sooooo familiar....Ermm -blind shot- Fallout? |
fallout 2 actualy, but what the heck!
I had to remove the dialogue frame, or it would be *too* recognisable :D |
I sure wish I could get my hands on Fallout2 , or tactics
|
I got F2 on budget for about a fiver a year or so ago, in GAME I think.
|
:ot:
I sugest you go to your nearest "discount bin" of computer games, and dig there a bit. In the unlikely event that you won't find some kind of fallout, you'll probably find something else that's worth a try (for what it costs). P.S. that's how I got my fallout 1 as well as many other games (most of them crappy, but like I said: for what it cost me... ) :ot: P.P.S. will someone post a picture? (Lizard, I'm looking in your direction) |
I got a neat little monochrome but everybody would guess it withing minutes so lets just wait on Lizard....
|
well, for a minutes fun, why not? :D
(it will still be lizards turn if he wishes to post, no matter who wins it) :angel: |
LOL, try this one...almost impossible. Hint? It's a screen shot from this site somewhere
|
Holy that's really dark.
|
|
second one: tomb raider.
and Reamus, tune brightenss up a little before making the conversion. |

|
Ah, well actually its just a 3D Render of Lara Croft from somewhere so :bleh:
|
Quote:
|
...no one is going to get that. All's I know is it's most likely a guy with a gun of sorts.
|
here I have a screenshot of several games on this site, as well as of one priceless masterpiece of graphic art :D :
|
Quote:
|
Yup getting black screen too, hmmm...
|
Quote:
yes, most games have it! :D and for those who didn't know allready there's a famous modernist pating called "the black square" that look exacly like that. BTW lizard you still ahven't posted anything |
Well this is from Pirates! Gold.
Now try to guess this one: |
Quote:
the picture (wich is graysacle) is from kings bounty, isn't it? |
Your black screen is from Pirates.
And yes, that is from King's Bounty. (Wanted to start you off with an easy one :D becasue when I get tough :twisted: ) |
this should be very easy but I wanted to put this game here.
|
That's araknoid, or revenge of doe, or one of those games
|
Isn't that pong?
|
pong is 2 player and horizontal. its 2d tennis, not bounce the ball off a wall (ooh it rhymes)
|
OK. Let's see if you get this one:
|
Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat?
btw, the "Black square" painting isn'r just a balck square, the painter used different shades of black, made his brush strokes in different directions and applyed different amounts of paint to create a picture, it's actually quite clever. |
Nope.
|
Quote:
|
Is Seb's HoMM? It does actually look a lot like WH:Shadow of the Horned Rat, which I have fond memories of - haven't played that for ages.
|
Nope. It's not. To give you a little hint - it's not an RPG or a Strategy game - and we do have the game on our site!
|
Asterix and Obelix?
|
sebs one =
lure of the temptress i do believe. |
DING DING DING!!! Talon got it - it's the Lure of the Temptress!!!
|
|
apparently not :D
how about "superhero league of hoboken"? |
?? This is not a game its a old piece of equipment... (this game isn't limited to games)
|
AnOriginal Macintosh Computer.
|
It must be an old mac, I remeber we had on of those a couple of years ago in school...
|
Heh heh, I had one of those! Got it in...1986 or 87, I think. It was beige, and that screen was black-and-white and awfully tiny! I have to say, though, that MacWrite, the word processor that came with it, is still my favorite word processor ever.
|
OK - but back to games now. This one shouldn't be too hard:
|
a chessmaster?
|
Not even remotely close to chess.
|
looks like sommin from an rpg after a spell has been cast. not that i got a clue which one it is tho
|
It looks like the game has been interupted by that damn swirly screensaver that swirls everything.
|
Quote:
Keys to Maramon? If I'm wrong, consider this an official request for a hint :D |
Jones in le fast lane?
|
The swirl is an efect to make it more difficoult and colors should be there in the original.
OK - here's a hint: This one will drive you wild. |
LOLm I have NO idea.
but maybe after you finish setting up your car and start to drive? ^_^ Im taking a hint here :P |
Quote:
|
Nope - not Street Rod, but you're getting closer! It's a game where you race cars...
EDTI - Not Test Drive either... |
hot rod?
^_^ shooting in the black hole here. |
Not Hot-Rod either...
Just look at the racing section! |
Quote:
EDIT: is it from 'Stunts'? |
no, not stunts, I dont think..
|
But you should think Danny :whistle: it is from Stunts!!! It's just that this shot isn't on the main page!
|
Yay, I was right!
is it my turn now? |
Yes
|
Sure go right ahead!
Actually I think we stopped taking turns... If nobody posts a new pic - somebody just does. But since you guessed this one it should be your turn! |
Here is a picture of a game you won't (yet) find on the site and I had to modify it a bit more to make it even a bit of a challenge (else it'd be simply too easy)
|
Well my first guess would be: A Nightmare on Elm Street!
|
Correct, i knew I should have made it less obvious.
|
LOL thats a new record, I believe!
|
Well the game was really easy. Try this now!
|
it says victory on it..
one of the HOMM series? |
Nope, but it does say that.
Maybe you never won while playing this game. Hell you may have never even played it... By the way - do you have enough posts already? |
Im number one today, yes.
|
Quote:
|
You really like eachother, don't you? ;)
Is it Master of Magic? |
Would anyone like to guess the game now? Ah spammers???
|
Quote:
But we do, really. :angel: :ok: Is that a dragon on the pic? |
Nope, not a dragon. Maybe a dragoon...
|
colonisation?
|
Warcraft?
|
If it takes you so long to guess the game - I guess I'll be stiff as a board before you get it - now that was a hint!
|
Stratego??
If I won, can someone else post for me? :D Haven't seen your post, which is 1 min before mine. :) Seba, can you post new image? :) |
You won!!!
Can I post for you? - again with a game for you to guess... |

Added it in edit of post. :) |

Let's see who'll get this one! |
Les Manley II?
|
Plumbers don't wear ties?
|
Well I KNOW it isn't mixed up mother goose (or she'd have to be severely mixed up)
|
Nope... but you're both thinking in the right direction... I'm waiting for an older gamer to apear - maybe he'd know :whistle:
|
Strip poker... :rolleyes:
|
Nope. It's actually an adventure game :whistle: :sneaky:
|
...With naked woman? :sneaky:
|
About getting them naked (this one is still fully dressed...)
|
one of the spellcasting series?
|
Nope.
Let me help you - you younger members can't remember the game - but even if the game would come out today you couldn't buy it - you're too young (x-rated). EDIT: No, not connected to LArry either. |
Or Larry's series perhaps.... :D
|

|
I wish it was Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, but I suspect it's the one with the long title in the other thread. Rex Nebular and the Cosmic Gender Bender?

no offence, but there's nothing adult about that game :) |

Sorry, must have missed the sarcasm (you never know if you don't know)

That wasn't really sarcasm.

Whatever it was, I missed the point

I've got one that shouldn't be too hard I think: http://img243.echo.cx/img243/9889/dnbmp4kr.jpg |
Discworld Noir, talking to the captain of the Milka I think.
In the Ankh café I think it was called. captain Jenkins was it? I wish I could play that game again |
jup! :)
Modified by Omuletzu Reason: Message linking to sites that host oldwarez http://www.justadventure.com/reviews/DWN/DWN03.jpg |
I legally bought it but I've always had problems installing it to XP
trying again as we speak. Enjoy, its a great (different) adventuregame anyway, my turn |
allright you are not :twisted: !
you :guns: :twisted: |
me? :twisted: ?
howso? |
Playroom?
|
correct
|
Goody-goody, my turn again!
|
I know that game.. well, I've played it, but now I've forgotten the title :tai:
|
Simon the Sorcerer?
|
Yes, you got it sir! It's Simon the Sorcerer, but your answer came a bit too late, so I'll wait for somebody else to answer it corectly as well!
|
Simon the Sorcerer?
:whistle: |
Cheater - you paste & copied Stroggy's answer. Just for that you're disqualified. Who's next?
|
Wait. :tai:
You want to say that your last pic is from Simon the Sorcerer????? :eeeeeh: |
You all are wrong! :crazy:
It's Simon the Sorcerer 2!!! LOL :tomato: |
Simon the Soccerplayer?
|
Quote:
No, it's not from Simon the Sorcerer, Simon the Sorcerer 2 nor Simon the Soccerplayer (looks a lot like it though - really reminds me of the scene where he kicked the bowling ball clear accross the feild and smashed the referee's head). |
Thank godness.I had doubts of yours(and mine) sanity for a moment.... LOL
Btw,althought I dont know name of this game,I give everybody a hint:It is probably bowling! :bleh: |
Quote:
|
That's easy. Team17's Kingpin Bowling.
|
Bojster got it (finally).
Now please give us a game (other then Simon the Sorcerer). |
psssst, Boyster: pick this screen:
http://www.abandonia.com/games/356/i...0Sorcerer1.png |
No, please don't Stroggy's Discworld pic!
|
Quote:
Cant you see?It is from Space Quest! |
Looks like Tetris to me.. that's with blokes too, right?
|
You're all wrong, its from Team17's Kingpin Bowling
|
Yey - my game. My turn again (before this thread get's closed for spaming - surprisingly it still isn't).
|
Quote:
|
I'm glad you had some low-quality fun while I was thinking what to post and how to mangle it... well, it's easy and (just if anyone's interested) it went through colorizing and sharpening. Here goes:
|
Loom?
|
Can't be loom, those fishes at the bottom don't fit.
It's an action game right? |
Right.
I left that upper part on purpose, it's very specific. |
Apydia - amiga's game
|
> Apydia
Nope, even if you spelled it right. ;-) > amiga's game Yes. |
Then is Agony.
I mix those two... |
Yes, it is. Next time (if there is one) I'll post something harder.
|
Here is your chance...
|
Ghosts and Goblins?
|
Nop....
Seba, was that a joke? :) It's C64 game ;) |
Maybe Newcomer?
I can't make out if that in the back are trees or smoke). |
It's not Newcomer
Hmmm, I never asked myself that question. It is green colored. ;) Bottom of the picture is removed, as it would be way to easy to guess it. ;) And it was ported to Amiga and PC (I think we have it here too :)) |
Exile?
|
No, it's not exile.
Hmmm, hint... This game is in more then one way simillar to Metroid |
I would say "Xexyz" but it doesn't fall into any of those catagories.... that and the screeny isn't from Xexyz...
|
Hmm, I should post a bit more...
But this is going to be way to easy.... |
I know this might sound rediculus, but I've no idea which game this is.
|
i dont know whats going on the previos 2 pictures just look like black squares.
|
look closer especially at the bottom of the second image
|
i had to save it onto my pc to see it.. maybe its my internet settings. havnt got a clue what it is tho, but it looks familiar to me which is annoying..
|
It was the best C64 side scrolling platformer! :)
And just checked, we don't have PC port here. Shame... (I still prefer Amiga's version of the game ;)) |

EDIT: Posted image after seb's post... |
With a lot of help I got it! It's Turrican.
Now for a newer game! |
Probably not, but... Teenagent?
|
It can't be teenagent, I played that game few times and can recognize it with closed eyes. This one looks familiar, but I have no idea what it can be.
|
No it's not Teen Agent (but the time period is right - and both are based on fun movies)...
BTW - I'm considering this game (and Teen Agent as updates for the site). Would anyone like to review the Teen Agent? |
I give up....
It looks familiar, but I have no idea what game is this... |
Ah yes, it's Wayne's World. :-)
The guy on the left looked a bit like Teenagent... BTW, was Teenagent really based on some movie? |
Yes there was a movie called Teenagent (and at the first look the game could be based on the movie). I just got the game and I'll start playing (and reviewing - unless someone else voulenteers) the game now. So expect Wayne's World and Teenagent as updates soon!
Now it's your turn for a pic BOJSTER! |
That should be easy... adventures continued...
|
space quest 5?
|
No, i know for fact it isnt space quest 5
|
I'm going to say dig, because I don't remember a thing about what their ship looked like, and I know I've seen that screenshot somewhere
|
Keep trying.
|
Orion Conspiracy??
|
7 days a sceptic?
|
Nope :D
The game is on the site, though the screenshot isn't. |
aliens?
|
Any other guesses?
hint: The sequel to this game had a title antonymous to this one. |
In the line of educated guesses:
Innocent untill caught. (Guilty as sequal) |
At last.
Your turn. |
I'll have to skip my turn, I'm affraid (technical issues :( ).
Can someone fill in, please? |
Will this work?
Way to easy, probably. Another amiga's great game. |
Hmmm, I'm seeing on my end a black screen no pic, both on IE and firefox.
|
Laptop's screen might make difference. Try to save it, and then open it in some picture editor. THat might help.
|
Yeah I turned up the brightness on my monitor and saw it, thanks for the help though.
|
Super frog or similar.
|
MDag,
your turn. It is SuperFrog. |
How do I create a binary image using GIMP?
|
Ok, here goes. I don't think anyone can miss this one :D
|
Grim Fandango
|
That is to easy!
|
RamusLQ, it's your turn. :)
|
Yay me! <shuffles through games to find one> Here we go!
Also probably easy, but <shrug> it's a really cool picture, especially the original |
Diablo 2!
|
yup, surely D2.
|
truly, it is...take it away
Original picture: |
Alright then...
|
Colonization, baby. Yay, I got here first!
|
Arrgh, well there's a small percentage of posibility it is Civilization...
|
pirates!?
EDIT: no wait, you're right-that's coloniztion. |
Even MOM loks simillar to that, but it's probablu col or civ.
|
BeefontheBone got it, Colonization it is!
|
Here we go - it's a much more recent game than the last couple. Not sure how easy it'll be though...
|
Hmmm...
Starship Titanic? |
More recent, and less adventurey.
|
Master of Orion 3?
|
Very similar - right genre certainly.
|
Galactic civilizations?
|
We have a winner - I just bought it the other day. It's OK, but it's annoying you can't see what things do before you research them, and my planets seem to have terrible morale all the time, but not suffer because of it.
your turn MdaG. |
This is a game which hasn't been released yet. It's a sequel to one of my favorite games.
|
Dreamfall, sequal to Longest Journey?
|
Correct, Anubis' turn.
|
This should be easy.... for simulator funs...
(NOTE - I made it lighter this time) |
Silent Hunter?
|
688(I) Attack Sub ?
|
Yes, it is Silent Hunter!
Omuletzu, it's your turn! Here is original screenshot |
You guys go ahead, i'll post one on monday
|
I guess no one went ahead with this thread, so I'm putting one - it's not even monochrome:
|
yes it is, just not black and white :P
|
It would be a real stretch to call it a game, though.
|
Is it some hacking game?
|
Here's a hint - it's not a C64 game... in fact we have this game on our site!!!
And another hint - it's an adventure game, where you need to run a computer to do something... |
a wild guess- buerocracy?
|
Nope...
I'll give you another hint: the game is still downloadable (that should narrow it down considerably :rolleyes: ). |
that is a very sad hint :(
|
Blue Force?
|
You're getting closer ReamusQL... but still no.
Another hint - you're a boy, who ends up saving the Earth! |
it's alien incident, isn't it? :wall:
|
EcoQuest?
|
Quote:
:Brain: we have a winner :Brain: |
here we go:
|
Xenon?
|
nope
|
Terminal Velocity, or some such game?
|
Maybe Arkanoid?
|
Quote:
no. and it's not escape velocity either. |
skyroads 3-D?
|
no, does that look 3D?
allright, maybe it does, but the game comes from pre 3D times. |
wacky wheels?
|
um... no.
well anyways, this game is set in space, and involves a certain bird. |
some clues please...
Errrm Starfox? |
starfox? no.
as for clues, I just gace you some, but since you can't tell a fox from a bird- here goes: it's an arcade, not a simulator. and the screenshot isn't full , because the bottom part would be a complete give away. |
Well, Star Goose then.
|
YES!!!!!
it's from one of the tunels |
Well, I would like to post an image, but...
I don't know how to make a mocrome bitmap image! Oh, the shame, the shame! |
I blieve it was explained earlier but in short:
1)take a screenshot 2)copy it to paint 3)go to File/save as... 4)chose "monocrome bitmap" in "save as type" 5)post that new image. note that this is the simples method, not the best. |
Ok, coming soon.
Hmmm, still having some strange trouble taking screens ingame... Does anybody mind it being a new game? Errrm, What format does the picture have to be? BMP's not accepted. |
nope, I'm more likely to get it :D
|
Ok next try, see if I can post this image...
And no I can't. What images are supported? |
All common formats except .bmp
.jpg is advised for screenshot posting but .png is good for everything! |
Ok here goes. Sorry for the trouble, I should be ashamed...
It should be pretty easy. |
It is one of star treak games, but as I never liked the series, I have no idea which one is it. :whistle: :angel:
|
Starfleet Command?
|
Quote:
|
Looks like Arkanoid. Or maybe Arkanoid 2.
|
It's not Arkanoid. It's a new game. Oh well, a fairly new game.
|
the half-decent fps one on voyager?
|
It's not Elite Force either (Or Elite Force II it would you have to mean :) Small hint, perhaps).
|
Bridge Commander?
|
It's probably that, or it can be from Birth of the federation, they have pictures of ships somewhere too, IIRC...
|
looks like the enterprise e class, forgotton the actual ships class name tho, the ship in first contact, u can use em in sfc3 but the galaxey got more weopen mounts
|
Quote:
Well this has certainly been a learning experience for me LOL Your turn Sebatianos. Oh, and it's a Sovereign class vessel, by the way... |
OK - this should be an easy one (for anyone born before the beginning of the 80s :sneaky: ).
|
firebird?
|
No, the publisher is Firebird, I that era publishers just put up their name.
No, this game is Thunderbirds, published in 1985 both for the Commodore64 and the Spectrum. right? |
must be, surely.
|
t0mme is absolutely correct!
It's Thunderbirds by Firebid! Your turn next. |
YEEEY! My turn.
hmm, let's see guess this one: |
|
The Clue?
|
Nope. It's not a game we have on our site (yet).
|
221st Baker Street?
|
Nope. Yer way off pardner :guns:
|
It Came From The Desert
|
That's really close now, but still not right. the game looks and feels almost the same, but like I said before - we don't have it reviewed on our site (not yet at least).
|
Hmmm,
Lost Dutchman Mine |
It Came From My Dessert ?
|
i really know it from somewhere, and at first glance i wanted to say Carmen(ie some game in the Carmen Santiago saga), but i realised that the graphics were much too advanced for this game.Maybe it's some Police Quest game?? Squad maybe?
|
Quote:
That game looks familiar... :blink: Any hints? |
OK - here's a hint (since no one got it yet):
It's a Wild West game (so think cowboys, sheriffs, bandits, bank robbers, pioneers,...). |
are you sure it's not Lost Dutchman Mine ?
|
I am sure! Another hint - maybe if the dutchman's name would be William?
|
William?
William Cody = Buffalo Bill Maybe Buffalo Bill's: Wild West Rodeo Show Long shot, I know |
:tease: Not correct (you don't have a bank in that game), but you're getting closer :P
|
Perhaps it's Law of the West then.
|
Now that's a really great game, but still no cigar.
not you --> :smoke: It's not a C64 game (Buffallo Bill and Law of the West were). BTW - you were closer with the last guess (Buffalo Bill) <-- this was another hint. |
Not a C64 game? So, West Bank, a western-themed game with a bank is no cigar either...
Hmm, let's break the pic and hints down then... Western A bank, so probably some kind of business game (but lost dutchman mine was also wrong) or some kind of advenure, although it has no typical adventure interface... It looks early 90s hmmm, Only title I can come up with right now is Wild West World... please...... :unsure: |
OMG!! Forget my last guess, it's the other Bill your after.
The legend of Billy the Kid |
:Brain: You got it at last :ok:
|
Now that is a game which badly needs mouse support......
Anyway, here's the next pic, it's from quite a recent game... |
Nobody guessed so far?
Okay, a hint then: It's the same genre as my previous submission oh, and it was somewhat less recent... mid 90s it is |
Quote:
|
Errm Myst?
|
I have seen that game before........
|
No Myst, but it's an adventure allright. And indeed not a real-life one...
|
The Dig?
|
Might be a long shot, but is it goblins?
|
Quote:
|
It can't be The Dig...
Maybe Torin's Passage? |
Nobody's right so far...
I would say it's an "alien" game. |
that looks awfuly like syberia (not cyberia! I mean the one about mamonths and Hans Voralberg)
|
Quote:
|
Okay, I'll give a pretty obvious cryptic hint,
It's a game about pretty weak records ;) ;) ;) (yep, find some synonyms for some words in that hint) |
C'mon, you call yourselves gamers? ;)
|
you call yourself a hintgiver? :sneaky:
|
hahahahahahahaha
touché! |
I believ a request for hint would be useless at this point? :whistle:
|
Maybe we should start with a new screenshot?
|
sure, why not?
hm... why doesn't the pic show on preview? |
how about this way?
|
You beter get it now :evil:
|
I can vaguely see the word barbarian, so I'm pretty sure that's the game. I've never played it, though. :)

nope.

Rick Dangerous? :crazy:
Not sure if that's Japanese though :blink: |
rick dangerous? japanese? no way! 111% american!
and no. |
Why that'd be Doukutsu Monogatari! A Cave Story!
|
yes. It's realy a shame no one else recognised it. in my opinion it's better than both metroid and mario put together.
|
Yep. So, my turn? Ok ok.
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...romescreen.jpg See if yah can guess this one! FAVORITE game evvvveeerrr |
heroes of might an magic.
coo! |
I *think* it's HoMM 2 (or maybe even 3) to be precise - it has boats and everything.
|
Quote:
|
did it? Never played it. you're right it is 3 i think - the gfx are too nice for 2.
|
Yep your both correct, it's HoMM III.
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...olorscreen.jpg Nice job! And I thought I was being sneaky by showing ONLY the adventure screen. :ph34r: Heh, playing HoMM 3 right this second actually. I gots 3 and 4 sitting on my desktop. Also will have 1 if I can figure out how to run it in D-Fend, but thats a question I posted in it's correct area already. No talking about it here! ANywho! Your turn now! Do another one. I love this game. |
here you go:
|
Burntime
sheesh wish id had paid attention to this game before... i dont know how to post a picture though :bleh: **EDIT** and that is HOMM 3 Shadow of Death(or the Blade of Armageddon)... you can tell because of the special water land type...oh and the level 2 water elemental Ok i found out how to post a picture and how to turn it into a monochrome but now i have to leave.... so next person gets the picture posting rights i guess (if i was even right) |
Yep! It's HoMM3 SoD. We have some smart peoples around here.
|

yups. <!--QuoteBegin-DakaSha@Jul 16 2005, 06:28 PM so next person gets the picture posting rights i guess (if i was even right)[/quote] you heard the man, FREE TURN GRAB! |
uh... this feels wierd ... since noone else wants to post a picture... I... will probably... (you know, to keep the thread alive)... post one.
this one should be a bit harder to guess than the previous. |
Asteroids?
|
no.
|
star control?
i know ive played it... its on abandonia for download right? |
uh... wasn't it protected by something?
anyway, yes (allthough the actual screenshot comes from UQM) |
i will destroy you all! :bleh:
uh here...should be pretty easy: **EDIT** hey it worked! yay now i can play! |
what are you trying to tell me? am i missing something really obvious?
|
no sorry, my mistake.
|
Jagged Alliance?
|
nope not jagged alliance... but that WAS my first idea... just didnt find a good pic
|
commandos then?
|
Nope. I'm sure it's Chaos Overlords! :angel:
|
100% correct :ok:
|
Here's the next pic!
|
No one has been posting a picture for a while so I'll post my game picture. Actually this an online game. Anyways here goes
|
Actually Sameeraload, it was Sebastianos' turn, and he already posted one before you did that one so...save that one for your turn :ok:
Edit: Curses! Sebastianos' beat me too it! You stupid head! I shake-a my fist at you! :ranting: |
Thanks Reamus - just wanted to make a reply myself (but deleted it...).
|
Quote:
|
OK, OK - to get back on topic (my previous suggestion was for somebody to guess both games - that's the one that was deleted - plus some points about how somebody jumped the gun... :whistle: ).
So here's my picture again (try to guess this game and the game Sameeralord showed you - top of this page). |
kyrandia?
|
Nope (but you got the genre right).
|
Conquest of the Longbow
<grrr...mumble mumble...jump the gun my @$$....mumble mumble :ranting: > |
A small tip:
Don't look for the game on our site. We don't have it (yet). But that gun you mentioned in your ranting is the next clue! |
OK - another clue:
Wierd Al Yankovich made a game with the same title as this game! |
'wierd' Al made games? :w00t:
|
Dragonsphere?
:crazy: |
Quote:
|
albaqerque?
|
it actually looks like one of the early evil dead games.
|
Quote:
|
Quote:
you mean the united States? :D |
Quote:
|
so its not an evil dead game? looks just like that log cabin ..
|
No, it's not.
So far we have a log cabin in a backward area, a song by Wierd Al about these people, an adventure game (based upon a well know TV series/movie). What more do you need to guess it??? |
rednecks?
|
The sitcom was made in the 60's and the movie was made in 1993 (with Jim Varney as the main character). If this doesn't help I don't know what will :wall:
|
the beverly hillbillies?
|
Finally!
|
allright i aint got one ready. will do one now. a question. does it have to be a dos game?
|
No
|
here we go then. im expecting this one to be guessed really quickly.
http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/2...ouguess0zf.png |
Tetris.
|
nope.
|
Homeworld : Cataclysm?
|
erm nope. (LOL)
i will give you a clue. its not a new game. |
Adventure!
|
nope. another clue... dont wanna make this 2 easy though. erm. naa. someone will get it im sure :w00t:
i will tell you what decade it wasnt made in. it wasnt made this decade (or even this century) |
damn I know that game, I played it as a child , but I have no Idea what it's called :cry: (if it's the game I think it is)
|
you want more hints? when someone has guessed it i will send you the game a1s.
|
load runner?
|
nope.
|
yeah, after I looked at it again I realized it wasn't...crap...I have no idea...:rants:
|
this game is like a total classic for its platform. there are even remakes of it out there. (although not on ar as its not a dos game)
|
Is it Jetman?
:blink: |
Donkey Kong?
|
Super Mario ?
|
no and no
super mario? |
Quote:
|
good point but there arnt any plumbers in this game.
|
Well the game has some resemblence to Super Pipe Line, but it can't be it.
My guess is: Jumpman |
Quote:
Back on topic, I still have no idea what that game is...ummmm....Bob's Magical Adventure? |
I've no idea why you find the plot of Super Mario Brothers so strange? My plumber is always jumping on mushrooms and dreams of finding a princess in the plumbing... OK, he's not Italian - just drunk all the time, but still...
Back on topic: Another hint please??? |
Mario jumps on mushrooms to stop himself from smoking them... you've seen the freaky colours they are.
Oddly coloured mushroom eh.... magic mushroom more like! We all know Mario has/had an alcohol/drug problem prior to starring in his adventures! |
its not jump man. i used to play the game on one of these back in the days
|
I see you must have been quite young when you used your first RUBBER :sneaky: Anyway - could it be Baggitman???
|
hahah. but you see i was one of the lucky ones, i had the zx48+1 the ferrari of the zx world and it had *dum dum daaa dum* hard plastic keys! yay me.
wait 10 minutes for a tape to load then knock it to much and it reset. so keyboard games used to involve me very gingerly tapping the keys. didnt used to even dare breathe on the thing once a game had loaded. no one has it yet. im trying to think of a hint that wont bring the anser if you type it into google. btw there seems to be an attitude that its a platformer because i said *its a total classic for its platform* LOL i meant as in deployment platform, as in machine it was made for. its not a platformer. |
awwww, my answers have been wrong, I have no idea what the game is, AND my cheese sandwich burned on one side :cry: what a day!
|
The rubbery keyed ones were more fun - but the best bit was spending half an hour tweaking the knobs on the tape player only to load something which turned out to be awful. Those were the days.
|
Quote:
|
when i first got a speccy emulator i set the loading speed onto real time and sat there watching the lines scroll on the side of the screen and listining to the insane loading noise they used to make. oh the nostalgia!
now of course i load em in a second. but the first time i let it take the time. |
If you played it on a Spectrum, then that makes all the difference.
It has to be Star Wars Part 10: The Prequal To The Latest Prequal. Obviously!!! :bleh: :D |
Games on TAPES?!!
WOW! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...c265/Halo2.png Only game I ever saw on tape was pong when my cousin bought some tape 'console' from a car boot sale. |
hahaha. that is wicked! its going on my desktop!!
well i have lots of obscure games for the spectrum but this one is quite well knowen which is why i posted it. i would have put up a dizzy game but that would have been guessed in 2 seconds. not a single games magazine for the time gave it under 90 percent. its avarage score was about 92 percent i reckon. time for another hint, this should jog some memorys maybe. the picture is of the map of the lift system. |
Quote:
Impossible Mission? :D |
naa but impossible mission is cool, but its not that.
the game itself (other than the map screen) is isometric, and all the games magazines of the time called it 3d. im going to let ya'll have a few more guesses then im maybe going to post a picture of the main game screen. maybe. will check this again tommorow morning, or maybe in the small hours. okie its breaking from the rules a little but i am sick of arsing around to make this gif black and white. if anyone knows a easy way to make animated gifs black and white please tell me. altho i will prolly figure it out later wi image ready. if so i will replace this with a black and white one. so heres an animation to help yall guess what this game is. http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/6303/hoorah5sk.gif if no one can get it from this then no one is gonna get it unless i start giving away the names of the major things in the game so ya'll can google. |
Why it's "Take them damn pills", the Columbian educational game!
|
ARGHHH!!! I've seen it before. It looks very much like The Crystal Castles, but the figurines weren't spinning in that one.
|
and the game im showing doesnt involve you having to get pills or *gems* pacman style. ahh poor bently bear. cursed to being accused of being a pacman clone when your game is actually boasting far supirior technoligy.
|
Wait a minute Bently Bear was in Crystal Castles... So is it really this game???
|
no it isnt crystal castles. i was just lamenting bently.
another clue: the main charectors name in the game ch'all is tryin 2 guess is another word for a compulsive thieve. |
"rogue"?
BTW I was wrong about this being a game I played :D |
no another word for a compulsive stealing things person.
LOL rouge, looks just sooo fantasy style doesnt it.... u sarcy git. can i be the only person here who remebers (and occasionly plays) this classic of the 80's another clue. its better than the c64 version. it has a different name and only really has 2 elements in common with the c64 version. |
compulsive thief? kleptomaniac! :D
|
his name is based upon that very word cuz he is a thieving little blighter. you are getting warmer.
how long does this go on, like if no one can guess it. do i win something if no one guesses it? :D |
KleptomaN?
|
the name of the main charector is kinda like kleptoman, but the name of the game itself has nothing to do with the name of the main charector.
|
do we have "the 48 hour rule" here? (the one about turnholder inactivity)
|
Kleptoboy?
|
nope. the droid is called klp2 (kleptoo) and he got given the most dangerous assighnment possible as punishment for reprogramming his ships computer to play space invaders. the game is based on paradroid for the c64. that is almost all the hints i can give without just saying the name of the game.
|
Magnetron
|
no but maybe you are close. i have pretty much given it away now with those last hints :eeeeeh:
|
eh, I give up. Took me about 15 minutes of research just to get that one answer.
|
you got the closest out from evryone else tho.. someone has to guess this. if no one gusses this then i win all your souls!! to put in a box!! so i can sit on them!!
|
This has been going on for too long. Just let me do the next one!
|
your soul is mine!! muahahahah.
i really dont know how you didnt get it indig. im on the verge of giving you another clue as evryone else seems to have given up. |
Dude, on the net it talks about a game called Magnetron for C64 in which a robot called klp2 is given the difficult task of shutting down reactor cores.
Sounds right to me. Thats all the internet says. |
the game i am showing was for the ZX SPECTRUM!! it was BASED on the c64 game paradroid.
how dare you accuse me of being into the inferior c64. i cant belive you found magnetron but not this game, i really cant. ahh well. your soul is mine!! muhahahahahahha |
Quote:
and o m g, no offemce, but when did you last play anything on a Spectrum? supply a hint or surrender... Or I will rip your soul out of your dead body. :Titan: bwahahahohohihiha... |
Well, since I am the only one who bothered to supply an answer, I should go next.
|
by the way, the game is called "Quaztron".
but, since I cheated- Indignus gets my turn. end of story. |
Q*Bert? (coinops classic)
Other one from first screen looks like Centripede (not sure how do you spell it) EDIT: Other one looks like amidar, not centripede |
Quote:
|
It might be, as all of those classic coin ops games had a lot of clones.
Like Phoenix was called Eagle on C64. |
Quote:
correct. how did you cheat? and dAMNATIION..! i was looking forwards to using your souls as a vodka mixer. |

Damn,
I was hopping for some more retro-computer/consoles questions. :ranting: :angry: LOL |
aww come on disclose, disclose, and take the next turn. indig used google after all, what can you have done that was worst....
i dont mind if they retro man, why just stick to pc, thats boring. i play more spectrum games than pc at the moments (im in a retro mood) |
well so did I. (I4 just hasn't got the 1337 g00g1|\|g skillz yet)
and PC games have a 20 year history for COL, pick something. |
you pick something. you got it write and im just gonna post another speccy picture :bleh: which will mean another 2 weeks of headscratching...
|
Here is something easy for you guys (Another Speccy Game ;)):
|
chuckie egg!! classic daYS man.
edit: sh*t maybe i shouldent go guessing spectrum games. it is unlikely you well put one up i dont know. |
See,
now it's your turn. :D ps. Damn, I knew I should not put a game that comes with Spectulator :wall: :blink: LOL |
heres a nice easy one as the machine was in a lot of arcades and it even came out on the n.e.s
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/4...titled2uo1.png |
Choplifter ? :blink:
|
nope
|
Silkworm
|
yepp silkworm! looks like it. never knew there was a dos version of it ?? was there one ? hmmm ... played it on c64 and amiga 500 ...
|
well done anubis. new it was an easy one. and swiss. you are looking at a picture of the zx spectrum version. definatly the best version :bleh:
|
Quote:
As far as I know there are ZX Spectrum, C64, Atari ST and Amiga versions of this game. EDIT: Here is next question: |
there is also a nes version but its pretty rare. the one that is a b*tch to find is swiv (the spectrum version) your turn anubis.
:kosta: i know this one. gonna see if anyone else is as retro as us tho :kosta: |
I guess it's "HEad over heels"
|
it is, but gotta let the anubis say that i guess for you to get the turn swiss. prepare one tho dude
yay! spectrum revival!!! |
Spectrum revival ??? arrghh ... sorry ... I don't know if THIS was ever made for Spectrum ... did someone in thius threat mention this all to be spectrum games now ?
sorry, but anyway guess this ... it's quite easy when you did start in the PRE Playstation era. :max: http://www.moccador.de/game.gif |
damnantion. looks familiar.. just cant place it.
|
Yes, it was HOH. :)
First computer game I ever played was on Spectrum. (excluding coin-ops) Is it Wonder boy in Monster Land (or some other Wonderboy) EDIT: Can be Adventure Island, as that's simillar game - made by the same programmer team. There was a law suit about that game. |
no wonderboy. but looks like it. in this game you need to kill a specific monster to get a scroll. with 2 scrolls you reach the next lvl.
It was (at least) made for Amstrad CPC and C64 but thats enough help for now. and mind : it is NOT a spectrum game ! (at least I don't know if it was ported from spectrum) |
this is maybe stupid.. is it one of the james pond games?
|
nope.
ok, another hint. Programmed by "Laurens Van Der Donk" and released 1990. now come on ... it's EASY ... BTW there was no PC port of this game .... |
i cheated and googled it :-(
|
It does not matter if you cheated.
Please post the answer, and continue with the game. |
Quote:
|
do u need more hints ???

Quote:
There are only 2 ways I will get the name of that game: 1 - If I played it, I might know the name. 2 - Use web. It will not spoil the game, and we have to recognize someones effort to get the name even with google. ;) |
it's 172 kb and if u google at google.de it's the first hit ....
so get this piece of cake and let's go on ... huh, I didn't expect this being sooo difficult ... |
Quote:
|
I don't recall this game.
It's Flimbos Quest. Is it any good? Here is very easy one, available on C64 (screenshot), Amiga, PC... |
this is annoying me cuz its one i have played, but when i was a kid, havnt seen it scince then.
|
Is it one of the Ninja games?
:ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: |
Well that's The Last Ninja. This time it was really easy...
|
Flimbos Quest is a nice platformer if you like that genre. nice music and sort of fun. I just wanted to make one single screenshot and, well ... I played till level 5 for that one I have posted ...
And the last ninja is a good choice ... so guys. come on with the next one! |
Alrighty:
|
Puny Plumber?
|
Good guess, but unfortunately - wrong.
|
looks like a mario game/clone. clue! clue!
|
Dr. Mario? LOL
|
It's "Super Pipeline" ... made long before any Mario was there: 1983.
Or did they have Mario then ? And here come another from this section. (And this time it IS easy) http://www.moccador.de/game2.gif |
its dizzy's tresure island, or tresure island dizzy. one of those 2. now its time for more from the land of isomatra
http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/4...ygreat19rm.jpg [aussie accent] can you tell what it is yet? [/aussie accent] |
is this a complete screen or did you crop ? I see o score, lives or whatever ....
so - without having even the simplest clue on what it is - I guess it could be "Knight Lore" .... |
ok a quick google to find more info to give you guys as clues revealed to me that the game i was showing is ultra rare. which suprised me as i always loved it, it only ever got one release and that was on a magazine covertape. so im gonna give you guys one that is a hell of a lot more easy./knowen
http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/8...reevils0ty.png this is a game that has been remade a hell of a lot. some of the remakes are actually pretty kicking but i prefer the feel of the original. |
looks a bit like "loade runner" with no level design and slightly changed sprites ... hmmm .. i know that game ..... :cry:
aaahh yyyeah .... what about Archon or Archon Ultra ? |
nope.
when i converted to monochrome a lot of things vanished. the playing area should have a box around it. the game is a battle of wizards and has a multiplayer mode with which you can have up to 8 players. |
I like more grey pictures (like the one I created :))
Monocrome game is hard for the games that had 4, 8 or 16 colors :D |
you should use something like InfranView for color balancing.
was there a multiplyer in keys to Maramon? |
never played maramon. me and rpg club freinds of mine were still having the odd bout of this game in the mid 90's cuz of the fact we could have 8 players. we were playing it on an emulator by that point tho, heres a greyscale image of the game
|
You do choose odd names for your characters, omg... Unless it's an extremely clever allusion and the game happens to be called Hell's Pukkah Kitchen or something like that.:bleh:
|
you have to name the ai.s in this game. i always name them with people who i want to maim. that pic is towards the end of the game. i have already defeated bush and a couple of his cabinet, and blair and some of his cabinet. unfortunatly the screenshot is taken just before i get b*tch slapped by jamie olivers vampire....
|
Never saw this game.... :blink:
|
when somebody finaly guesses, plese supply a link, I belive there are many people (including me, ofcourse) who will want to try it. :w00t:
|
got it ! :bleh:
It's " Chaos - The Battle of Wizards" Review WAS here : httpxxx.html Download here : http://www.geocities.com/quirky_2k1/...ads/index.html And here is the new one ... Another cool C64 Jump and Run Classic - should be easy for you. http://www.moccador.de/game3.gif |
Erm, you might want to get rid of that first link, swiss. That site has a few games that shouldn't really be there, I think...

yepp... by the way ... did anyone notice that I put up a new screenshot ???? :w00t:
|
They do care about Amiga games. Probably because Amiga version of many games is better then PC version. LOL

While you guys are guessing swiss' game, here is a small screen shot of an Amiga game, just to check if anyone know what game is this. :) |
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe?

cmon swiss give us a hint... |
how about billie and the magic crown? (or was it boby?)
|
cmon swiss give us a clue (or 2)
btw guys the guy who single handedly programmed chaos was also responsible for these insignificant games at least 4 of my all time faves are on that list ...... dont bother going to codogames.com. its just a spam site now :wall: |
ok I think I'll give you three clues ... and maybe Anubis gives some more for his screenshot ... (I can't think of other games than Masters of the Universe either).
Well for my screenshot (you may remember its screenshot on the previous page) you get these hints: Year: 1984 Programmed: Chris Murray Published by: English Software I think to use google is no cheating ! It keeps this game at a nice pace .... :ok: So c'mon guys : GO GO GO :Titan: |
|
what about a hint .. I never had an Amiga ...
|
The game was released in 1993 and it's one of the best platformer on amiga. Great graphics, music and gameplay combined with nice story.
|
Maybe Barbarian ???
(The C64 version of that game look soooo different ) |
No,
It’s not barbarian. Amiga barbarian looks very similar to C64, just with more detailed graphics. This game is side-scrolling platformer. Another hint: Music is done by Matthias Steinwachs. |
He did tons of music for amiga games...
Gimme another hint, what year did it come out? |
I already said that.
1993 |
Uh... I know two...
OMG IS TEH AMBERMOON! I LOVE THAT GAME>!>!!@#!@$ |
Lionheard ....
never heard of that game ... :whistle: OK here's a PC game ,... http://moccador.de/game4.gif |
Lionheart didn't come out in 1993.
Hey, that doesn't look like Ambermoon... I hated Lionheart, megh. Yah, das Lionheart. |
|
Don't trust the insane computer, Lionheart came out in 1992, use Gamespot
This is going slow, can I put a pic out? |
well i didn't find lionheard by searching for 1993 either .... but the musican brought me on the right track ....
Well GODS is right ... ((it's a bit too dark this screenshot) You turn Anubis |
Quote:
game-spot updated that game to db after I told them about it. I am not sure why did they put wrong year. I helped them to add a large number of amiga games, but as they are very slow to update, I give up. Here is another amiga only game (there was Genesis and SNES version, but a bit different). Screen shot is from level selection screen, where you do also some stuff and get updated on progress and story. |
looks a bit like some Rodland kind of game ....
|
It's not that pretty.
Any hints? |
I forgot to say, Lionhear is available for free at Thalion WebShrine same as the rest of their games.
As for last game, chickens are trying to take over the world. Here is in the game screen shot. |
hmmm ... i fear we need more hints
|
Sammy the Squirrel?
|
Here's an idea: Is that a squirrel? Or what?
|
It is squirrel.
In this game you supposed to save earth (who would guess that :)) from chicken invasion. It was released in 1994 on Amiga. There are Genesis (Megadrive), SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advnace versions of this game, but Amiga version only had world view seen in the first screenshot. |
its not zero the kamakaze squirrel is it?
|
Nop
It was published by Ocean, if that helps. ;) |
It sure helped. It's Mr. Nutz: Hopping Mad!
How about this one: |
Is it Space Taxi for C64?
|
What else (a true classic).
|
Here is another one. ;)
|
Rambo for c64?
|
Nop :sneaky:
|
Not Rambo (he never wore a uniform). It's Commando.
OK - a DOS game this time: EDIT: Sorry for the colors... I removed them :D |
The picture on the left looks like the start Prince Of Persia, but I don't remember these words being there.
:blink: |
maybe because it's in moscow?
shadow president? |
Quote:
my bet is on cardinal of kremlin (albeit I never played it) |
You can see that in tetris, I think I saw that on the c64 box. But thats not tetris
|
Quote:
P.S. weren't you supposed to be baned? If he is, I want his turn (since I would've guessed the game) :D |
He was banned. Then came back, because his brother is a computer wizz, then he was banned again. So the turn is yours, since you would have guessed. Unless he comes back again. Which would be interesting but probably short lived too.
|
here's another nice PC screenshot (well actualy not very nice, I will make a better one as soon as I get home, meanwhile someone can try to guess from here):
|
One of HOMM games?
|
maybe Wolf ? Or some of this Japanese RGPs ?
|
no to all three.
the game apears to be ESA protected, so you're stuck with the screen (part of a screen to be exact) that I supplied. (consider this a hint). converted with IfranView (tm?): |
Eye of the beholder !!!!
I bet it's part II! Somewhere in the woods you begin .... right ???? :w00t: |
Quote:
I think swiss is right. |
you are both right, but only swiss gets the turn.
|
OK. Easy, aye ?
http://moccador.de/game5.gif Hmm if not then read this hint: MMORTS :D If someone guesses the game and the name consists of these letters -> REDATXSLHYGT then he's right and may go on with his turn. Good luck. (I added this hint coz I need to go in a few mins and don't want to delay this game) |
earth 2150? wahe did that go online?
|
I updated the hints now ...
And NO it's not earth .... |
Looks like an odd version of starcraft or something. Maybe some Battlefields type game.

the game is Shatttered galaxy (I just wanted to know how one could have a Massively Multiplayer RTS, honestly!) Ok, the next screenshot is from one of my most favorite games (note that the game is not freeware, nor made in latvia, in fact it's fairly well known): |
is that cannons and horses on the screenshot ?
risk ? north and south ? civil war ? ---- Shattered Galaxy is one of my favourite games. It's quite like Star Craft but playing with 20 other players against 30 enemy players is real fun! You have something between 6 and 12 units each turn. When the enemy has killed your units you have 30 seconds to spawn new ones. The aim is to get POCs (hotspots you need to stay on for 60 seconds). When your side wins all the POCs or at least has most POCs at the end of the 15 minutes lasting round you win a province and get money to upgrade your units. I can just recommend this game for all RTS lovers and o'coz StarCraft addicted people will already know Shattered Galaxy! And the best thing is : It's for free !!!! (I hope this doesn't go under "Ad". I will be really upset if I get banned for this ... :blink: ) |

Ok, the next screenshot is from one of my most favorite games (note that the game is not freeware, nor made in latvia, in fact it's fairly well known): [/b][/quote] Wow. Could it be "Musu Armija"? It means: "Our Army". Never thought one would put a game in Lithuanian. |
that is indeed what it means, except that the language is latvian (they're pretty similar).
the picture you see is a recruitment poster from the 30s. (I'm prett y sure that's waht it is). |
Cough. If similarity is EXACTLY the same - then this is the case.
Maybe Latvians forgot to put it in their language. That would be like: Mus Armijs. Or smth like that. (A lithuanian version maybe? :D ). |
'kay, have the lithuaninan one:
|
here's a screenshot that actualy has some gameplay in it:
|
Weirdest game I ever seen. :blink:

I expect you to name the game on sight (enkoy the bigger longer and uncut screenshot):

that is heards of iron 2

Quote:
Is german that more complicated, then? :blink: |
no, they just like composing words, f.e.: sexhundertzeinundzwanzig translates to four words- six hundered twenty one.
I believe Strutzkampgeschwader is something along the lines of fighter-bomber squadron (I have no Idea what struz- means) |
Quote:
I think it was usually shortened to "Stuka", because "Sturzkampfgeschwader" really is a bit of a mouthful - even by German standards. |
oh, must be a squadron of dive bombers then (it was a class of small frame bombers [only 50% larger than the averge fighter] that used vertical "diving" to achieve supersonic speeds as well as increased precision, they were invented in late 30s and are obsolete now)
|
Sturzkampfgeschwader are those fighting squadrons that drop bombs while diving to the obejctive. Menaing a lot of bombs will hit just one objective ... German words are quite cool:
Zugführerkissenüberzugsherstellungsfirmenmitarbeit erin for example ... You can just combine any words you like to form a new word ... But sorry! This is a bit :ot: |
Stuka is actually short for sturzkampfflugzeug, which literally translates to "falling fighting flying apparatus," but means, in essence, "dive bomber." (Love those German compound words!) So yeah, a sturzkampfgeschwader is a dive-bomber squadron.

no formula one
but it is steering wheel its more action-like |
Pole position?
|
Onslaught? Outlander?
|
none of those
its like crazy taxi mixed with carmaggedon |

there is a 24 hour waiting period. because not everyone lives in the same timezone or can check their posts, but by far most can do it within 24 hours (or at least know if they won't) as for the game, I have no Idea, but for no reason I will say lord of the rings. |
first i thinked of that too,but this seems like Quest for glory one,the scene with the hungry giant

well I dont care that another pic has been posted im gonna post 1 anyway!!!
couldt really do much with the colours but its different and prob really easy!! J |
Quote:
Edit: And Jimbo, not cool...One of the reasons this forum is so great is because for the most part, everyone ie respectful. By saying "screw it" like you just did, that just throws these kind of games into confusion. And your pic isn't even monocrome...read the first post to learn how to do it dude, and follow the rules. |
2 JtL: the pic is form C&C (NOD part), Reamus gets the turn (so that should tie all the loose ends).
2 ReamusLQ: I must remind you that you satrted it. please don't do it again. thank you both for your attention. EDIT: oh, the game might be called hero's quest |
And just to remaind Jimbo the Legend to make a screen shot monocrome or at least grey scaled image. ;)
|
Quote:
And yes, it is Hero's Quest: So you Want to Be A Hero |
let's do it this way: if toxik will post something within an hour of now, he will have the turn (since his guess was correct in spirit :D ), if he doesn't... well life isn't allways fair, you'll get a pic from me. (plus this will give me time to think of something).

|
|
That's much better. It doesn't look like a messed up MoO anymore :bleh:
|
This looks like some Oil Imperium clone.
Can we have a hint? (genre, year etc.) |
the genre of this game is mixed adventure/strategy/arcade
i dont know exactly when it was released but i think its between 1990-93 its based on one of those B-rated movies about attacking swarms of whatever |
hmm whyever you doubleposted that ...
can you probably post a new screenshot with another black/white threshold or a grayscale pic ? |
sorry for that double post,I had problems with connection.i fixed it now
heres another pictrure which should be more helpful http://img336.imageshack.us/img336/4642/untitled3dn.png |
It came from the desert (that screenshot of yours)
|
yes,yes it is It came from the desert.the other screenshot was from it too
|
dodge this:
|
Darn you. I know I saw this screen before...
Is it: Where in Space is Carmen Sandiego? |
nope.
|
some game from sierra ? Larry 5 or so ?

:wall: :wall: :wall:
I know this one, but can't remember... Ace Ventura??? |
's Out of Order. Quality freeware adventure, that.

That looks so familiar! What is it??? Come on brain, ragh!!! :wall:
A Caesar game? |
I'll bet you a pair of socks that's an RPG (and another one that I've never seen it in my life, so no guess)
|
I wear sandals LOL
I was thinking one of the two Krondor or the Betrayal in Antara games, but thats not quite it. Is it a kings quest game? |
That's magic the Gathering: Shandalar (we actually hosted that game on the site - for about 3 hours - long story).
Here's the next one (put on your thinking hats): |
Thomas the Tank Engine?
|
Yes, it is. C64 version of that game.
ReamusLQ, it's your turn. |
Yup, Reamy it's your turn (don't you just love that little tank engine?)

But if you happen to know a few abandoned ones, please tell me :ok: Here's a picture of a game that's currently waiting to be put up on the site (no cheating :P). Shouldn't be too difficult (more a 'do you know the game' thing). |
My Mother Stuck in a Military Issue Craft?
Actually it looks very familiar but I can't put my finger on it. |
mind works in wonderous ways, I've never even seen Missle command (only several of it's remakes), but I think that's the game.
|
It's Das Bot or Das Boot, I'm not sure about spelling, but it's that game probably...
|
Tulac, you got it :ok:
It's Das Boot. |
I'm guessing Tulac isn't posting any game screenshots - so in order to keep this fun little game alive, here's the next game:
|
looks a bit like Spellbound and Knight Tyme for the C 64 ?!?
|
You're partly right - it's for the C64.
|
how about some hints?
|
1st hint:
May people don't even know this game came out on C64 - it's better know for the Spectrum ZX. |
Magic Knight: Stormbringer?
If I am wrong, can we get another clue? :D |
Next clue (because you were wrong Frodo).
2nd Clue: The title of the game is a man's name (it should be in the screen, but I painted it over). |
arrgghh I saw that hero. I am quite sure that the box had the knight on a horse on it. I think the knight had a lance. But I cannot remember that damned name ...
|
I'd be wery surprised if there was a knife with a lance in this game...
The whole game is taking place in some undergroud caverns (possibly inside a piramid)... |
oh ... then I am completely wrong ... and I have NO idea what else this game could be :cry:
|
3rd hint:
Are you hanging in the ropes |
Quote:
Am I close :D |
That's not a bell. That's a ghost. :D
No, the last clue was connected to the Spectrum ZX title "something something" on the ropes. OK - think about something else. 4th clue: Think prehistoric! |
His name is Fred Quicksilva and it's Roland who's "on the ropes". There is a PC remake on the net. Check this site : Fred
------ Take this one as next challenge. If you don't know what this is then you should ask yourself if you ever played a GOOD game :bleh: |
Looks like TROLLS

You talking to me? I still have my C64 (but I really never had an amiga).
Don't tell me it's Giana??? |
most of the people born in or after the middle of eighties never had one (note that some of our best mebers were born that way), so if possible keep it PC (I'm sure we don't mind a no-PC screen once in a while, just remeber that abandonia is dedicted to IBMC games)
EDIT: no, I haven't misspeled ICBM. :D "IBM Compatible" is what you guys call PC nowdays (allthough every mac, amiga and C64 is thechnicaly a personal computer) |
how about a hint? :max:
|
sorry for not posting earlier - I was quite busy at work ...
so here is the hint: The C64 version was published 1991 by Storm and developed by The Sales Curve. There is a cool multiplayer mode where you and a friend can control these cute fairies to kill enemies with a wand. Sorry 'bout this C64 version but I thought EVERYONE knows this ... It's been most popular on Amiga. |
Rodland?

I'd say it's a bat...

Aero, the Acro-bat ?

its that or driver, or twisted metal? NO Midtown Madness??? Has to be

No to all the above, but Sebastianos is VERY close. :whistle:

No - we have test drive 3 on our site. It's got to be Test Drive 5 then!

Here you go - and you'll probably have quite some time to guess (I'm off to bed - finally) :yawn:

I know I've played this one... Hmm... Of course it's Sierra, but...
I'll have to shuffle through my discs to trigger my memory... |
Well it could be a Tierra game... Thought I got those on my harddrive, but seem to have lost them due to my several format/reinstalls of my system the last years... Gotta re-download...
But a wild stab then at Tierra's Kings Quest II: Romancing the Stones... EDIT: Nah... Wrong interface... Cool game, though... |
Hah! Next I shouldn't be so sure of myself...
Suddenly the word Amazon pooped into my mind, and I tried to find my Flight of the amazon queen, ran a search on my computer first, and mistakenly started amazonge, wich did not turn out to be FOTAQ, but lo and behold: It was Amazon - Guardians of Eden and as I started, I recognized the controls! So that's my final answer! Next time I shouldn't be so sure of myself... Sierra? Bah... of course it was Access software! :whistle: |
You are correct. Next time you should think before you say... :bleh: (just kidding - that's what you said about describing your name right - somebody who likes to think before he acts).
Anyway - the answer is correct, so it's your turn next, to post a picture of a game! |
Yeah, I know, I think maybe that came out wrong... I probably should say that I'd like to think before I act... That coulda spared me a lot of embarrassment over the years... (Other ppls embarrasment, that is... I'm not that shy... My last girlfriend hated it when I burst out with something uncool, that I shouldnt... :blink: )
Anyway... I'll come up with i pic in a moment... hang on... EDIT: Okay here is a true monochrome image as the thread's title state (monochrome bitmap means there should be only two values for colors, i.e. no shades of grey) I think it's gonna be easy, and yes- it's from a DOS game (although not released for this platform... this version is a fan remake...) BTW, I'm gonna go for school (hey, I love this late lectures! They start at 2 PM :ok: ) And I'll try to keep up with the forum later tonight, but it may be almost 24 hours before I'm back... Bear with me... Ok, here goes: |
Argh! It's either Super Mario Brothers or Great Giana Sisters... can't make out the main character well enough (that's why I prefer the grayscale - it's easier to guess, still people had problems with my games).
|
(Hey, I found time to get in here from school!)
Well, I do agree more or less, but here I thought it would be too easy. And you're close, but I will only accept one answer. I guess one should make out the blocks on the right side, also the villain thats about to be bumped on the head should give it away... (And now I guess it's time for me to leave school for today... And sadly enough, although my nightshift job has internet access, it won't allow us to see games-related content... And not pages about drugs, even if we do handle medications and should be able to get info on the web... :wall: ) Check by in the morning... Ca 15 hours from now... Unless I find a smart workaround... :sneaky: |
The I say it's the Giana sisters (that looks more like a skirt, then the pants of a plumber).
|
Super Mario Brothers was on C64 a clone of Giana Sisters. Just with different protagonist sprites.
this one IS Giana Sisters. so go on ... next pic ... can't await it ... |
OK- here's the next one!
|
Thats that later version of 'Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego'.
|
Close, but no cigar (not you --> :smoke: ). It is a part of the Carmen Sandiego series though!
|
Is it Where in the US is Carmen Sandiego?
|
Where in the time is Carmen Sandiego?
|
You're right FPJ (sorry Nubi - you were almost close :) )-
|
Thanks! Unfortunately I'm at work right now and have no access to screenshots of any kind, so I declare my turn to be open to anyone who wants it.

i dont have a picture right now so somebody take the turn

Well, let's play....
This one should be easy, too... |
I can see it's a F1 game.
Can you give me the year it was released? |
It's been only 2 min since I posted the picture, and you already need a clue? :blink: LOL
Let's wait till tomorrow. ;) |
Fool! Give me the tool or I shall show you "Teh retribution!"
At least give me the first letter to the game. (It's F isn't it? |
No, it's not F. :banned:
This game was released on Amiga and Atari ST. Its arcade style play made this game one of the most enjoyable F1 games. |
Pole position? :blink:
|
Cart Racing
|
This game was released in 1991 on Atari ST and in 1992 on Amiga.
Name starts with V. ;) |
That's got to be the game with the wierdest name I ever heard of...
Vroom - it should at least be with a W not a V... |
:ok:
It is nice game, trust me. :) |
And here's the next one!
|
pinball arcade?
|
¨It is a pinball game, but not the one you said it might be.
|
could that be Tristan ? (I think it had better graphics ...)
|
Older - and deffinetly not for Windows... ALthough Bill Gates was involved with the oprating system this game is played on :D
|
Night Mission Pinball
|
Nope, but the word night apeares in the title :bleh:
|
Night Mission Pinball
|
Nope, but the word "Night" appears in the title :bleh:
|
Is there an echo here? :blink:
:D OK- next clue - night is just a part of the word - like in nighthawk... or something... |
Nightmare Pinball?
|
No, but you're getting the idea with the night... BTW - it's three words all together.
|
Oh, I know this one - used to have it on the Apple IIe. It's Midnight Magic Pinball, or something like that.
|
Wikipedia:David's Midnight Magic
Yeah, it looks like that one... I'd say you're right! (Although it does not have "Pinball" in the name, but is called David's Midnight Magic... Had to look it up though... Who keeps an authentic AppleII around these days... That said, I do in fact have a DEC Rainbow 8086 up in the attic :ok: Might even work if I dared plug it in... But I guess with MS-DOS 3.0 and 5,25" floppies I will have a hard time trying to run Half-Life 2 on it... Wouldn't look it's best on that black&green monitor anyway... LOL ) |
D'oh! Considering my name is David, you'd think I'd remember the title of that one! Looks like it's your turn, Loial.
|
Sorry Fruity David :D - you really were close, but it's Loial who get to post the next screenshot.
|
OK :ok:
Here's a new one... One of my alltime favourites in this genre. Released for several platforms, including dos. This shot is from Amiga, though... EDIT: dang! I had a lot of typos in that short text... :whistle: corrected now, I think... |
It kindda remins me of Trap Door...
|
not trap door. it's james pond. I made the review for it. I think it's going to be online the next few days ...
ok here is a challenge: (at least for the under 20 years old - and maybe for the other becourse of the bitmap) |
Duck Tales?
|
You know, I played that game a lot, but I can't remember the name for the life of it :blink:
|
Same here, Doubler.
There was another game just like that too, where you piloted a helicopter. (I distincly remember the landscape and that tank on the ground). |
@Tom: You mean Fort Apocalypse. So that's a map of targets... I was sure it's the two planes competing to get to the treasure location (from the duck tales)...

If that's not King's Table - The Legend of Ragnarok, then...it's something else, I suppose.
|
Unortunately (or fortunately) it's not something else (I said it would be easy), so Fruit Pie get to post the next picture :ok:
|
And here you go. This one shouldn't be too hard either.
|
Is this now Fort Apocalypse?
|
Nope.
|
Choplifter ? :blink:
|
Nope again. (I was hoping someone would say Choplifter, incidentally.)
|
Quote:
|
it's aromur valley, isn't it?
|
Still nope. I figured the structure in the lower left corner would give it away, but maybe nobody else played this one. It was one of my all-time favorites.
|
the radar things on the big machine/building look a bit like silkworm ... was ther posiibly Silkworm 2 ?
|
That's not it either. Here's another screenshot showing some different objects:
|
Choplifter?
|
Quote:
|
Still not?
How about now. No the thing is I'm almopst certain I played this game a long time ago - but I'm not even sure I knew its title back then... :wall: :wall: :wall: |
Lemme check.
Yes, it is! Oh, wait - no, no it isn't. I thought for a minute there it might be Choplifter, but it's still not. The structure in the lower left corner of the first shot was not made from a De Lorean DMC-12, if that helps at all. |
So it's not Back to the Future then? 2 games down is a good start. We'll get there by a process of elimination.
|
Cobra? (or something like that)
|
Since nobody's come close yet, here's one more screenshot:
|
Dad's Army? :P
|
looks a bit like a "theatre europe" map ,,,
|
OK, the oft-referenced structure in the lower left corner of the first shot is a time machine. Does that help?
|
You've done the game yourself and never showed it to anyone, right?
|
Yes, but what did I call it? :D No, this one was reasonably popular around the mid-80s.
|
Battle through time ?
|
@ Fruit Pie Jones
Is it Choplifter? LOL :tomato: Only joking. How about another clue? |
The time traveling Choplifter rip off ?
|
The only real similarity between this game and Choplifter is that, in both games, you can pick up men in your chopper and let them off elsewhere. That's a major part of Choplifter but is somewhat less important in this game, where your objective is to destroy the opponent's time machine before he destroys yours. Oh, and it's a single-player game - your opponent is always computer-controlled.
|
No-one's probably going to guess this. It has been tried to guess for a pretty long time now, and the screenshots are so clear that it shouldn't be so hard if you've ever played the game. I know I haven't. And it seems at least most of these forums' active members have neither.
EDIT: ..and I should learn English.. |
That second shot reminded me of Beach-Head and I know in one of the sequels you could drop off some sodiers with parashoots... but there was no Time-machine!!! :wall:
|
I seriously can't remember any game like that with a time machine :wacko:
|
:w00t: stupit me ... :wall:
I wanted to review this game it's "Armor Alley" but I think it sucks ... so I took Deadly Racers .. am I right ? ---- EDIT: If I am then here is the next one |
Quote:
|
Quote:
I mean Armour Alley ... this is a coloured screenshot ... looks like it, doesn't it ? Maybe there was a remake or a second version of it ... |
wasn't that what I said?
EDIT: no, seems it's not. I still think he would have siad I was right if I had one single letter wrong, don't you think? |
sorry didn't mean to offend ... :cheers:
Well, we will se what he says ... when it's not armour ally or armour vally or whatever maybe he should choose a new pic .. or we guess mine ... let him decide. |
It's not Armor Alley (and definitely not Armor Valley :D ), but from what I've recently read, Armor Alley was a remake-of-sorts of the game I posted. Whaddya think, should I just give it away?
|
was it armargeddon then ? a basic remake ?
|
One more hint, and if nobody gets it, I'll give the answer away: This game was published by Sir-Tech and appears to have been only released for the Apple II. And though it's not Armor Alley, its title is alliterative. Someone has to get it now.
|
Rescue raiders ? (alright, i googled it, i admit. :rolleyes: )
|
We have a winner! Rescue Raiders it is!
|
Ok ! Here comes a Classic, with a 10 miles hich capital C. :kosta:
|
Is it Radius (I think that's what it's called)? :blink:
|
Space Raiders?
If I'm right I don't wanna post a pic. So free dibs. |
No and no. Unless it goes by different names but i don't think so.
|
Oops! Raiden was what I meant to say. :crazy:
|
Lonely, can we have some clues? :D
|
Well it's way older than Raiden. It was one of the first arcade games (yes it's a real "pay to play" arcade game, probably transfered to some consoles and old computers i guess) that went beyond the Space Invaders shoot and kill concept. You not only had guns, but bombs too ! And you had to watch your fuel. And watch out for those rockets that would lift off just under you, and then slalom through astero?ds, and more. Untill you finally got to the enemy base. You had one shot (and only one) to try to bomb it ! And then another cycle began and you went through the whole game again (my personnal record is three "laps"). I'll give a more decisive clue if you guys (and gals) still can't guess what the hell is this stupid game ! :D
|
well there was a game called zeroth zone, but that was probably just a remake of this one (I'll bet you a pair of socks it's no that old)
|
It's not Zeroth zone ! And i don't want your (or anyone else's) socks ! :bleh:
|
Asteroids?
|
Scramble
|
Quote:
You Win ! :Brain: Yeah ! The almighty Scramble ! The hell of a good game ! Ah, the memories, 20 or 25 years ago patiently waiting in a bar to play this gem of a game !. So your turn A1s, and please, do keep your socks ! :D |

allright this next shot is missing the interface part (because I'm evil): |
The Sims 2?
|
:blink: no.
try this: |
Sorry; my first post on this forum, was browsing for something else and tripped over this.
Is it Silent Sentinels? |
it's not silent sentinels.
|
Darnit it's late and my brain is tired - I mean Silent Storm. I'm not sure which one, since I only played Sentinels demo a billion times (hence the mix-up).
However I recognise the character from Sentinels. |
yes, it's silent storm, your turn.
|
http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/3122/game8wd.png
I might give some hints, but probably someone knows this game, so I'll wait... |
Ally Stronghold
|
No, sorry, that's not the name... nice try though.
I can say that the game is a fairly new game, not really an oldie, though in one sense it is abandonware, because the company releases it for free now. |
It's Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory! :D
|
Nope, it's a First Person Shooter mixed with a Real Time Strategy. There are two races to choose from.
|
Savage: Battle for Newerth
|
Good work, your turn :ok:
PS - Did you use google? :D |
No I didn't.
I'll get a game soon. |
|
Well, it's not too clear but it looks like Winnie the pooh pushing a crate. So i'd say Winnie the Pooh, if there is such a game.
Or is it just that your signature and avatar are making me see things... :crazy: |
It is Pooh, but give me the full name of the game.
|
you are sick!
anyway, is it Tigger's Honey Hunt? |
No, you is wrong.
|
Winnie the pooh incredible crate pushing adventures ? :D
|
Winnie the Pooh's Rumbly Tumbly Adventure ?!
Looks nice, is there a PC version of it ? |

Isn't the game CALLED Tempest aswell? If not, the game seems very familiar.

Dungeon Master 2 ?

Nope, it's not dungeon master. Clue2: There are eight games in the series.

Might & Magic? Ultima?

I can't see the pic.

Most of those so far have been so difficult I couldn't guess it, so even though the last one isn't done, I'll just quickly post this one that everyone should be able to guess... as it's a monochrone game :P

isn't that flight of the amazon queen? that was one quality adventure game!

Your turn! |
here we go:
|
would it help if I said there are dinosaurs in that game?
|
The only game I can think of is an old SNES one called EVO: Search for Eden... I doubt that's it though.
|
Prehistorik 1 or 2? This game also looks veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery familiar.
|
nope. and it's actualy in top-down perspective.
|
Jurrasic Park?
|
yups.
|
Since it's been way over 24 hours, i'll claim this turn. The picture is not very clear (to say the least) but it should be easy enough.

um..um i know!
is it betrayal in krondor? |

it is
|
Easy one this time, for real.
|
Lode Runner?
|
Gold Digger (Lode runner was a remake of it)
|
Lode Runner was a great game. I wish it still-- Wait! Wasn't it called TurboLode?
|
There's probably a dozen remakes. I'm not even sure that gold digger is the original.
|
The game concept had probably a hundred different incarnations, but this one is indeed Lode Runner. Doubler takes it.
|
Sorry it took so long. I forgot all about this thread :unsure:
Here's something I just couldn't resist posting :D |
Not even a guess? :blink:
|
huh? I've never seen any game like that...
|
You've just got to look better, then LOL
Believe me, the answer's nearer then you think ;) Allthough the game's not an Abandonia. |
Its Llamatron: 2112 which can be found on AR?
|
:ok:
You've just got to love a game that has a llama as hero! LOL |

Speed Racers? I don't even know if that's game. It's just an anime TV show.

I think I've had that game.. But I still can't remember it's name, it was something very simple. Something like Formula 1 or something.

Formula 1 Racing?
Formula 1 Racing Cars? Japanese Formula 1? Japanese Formula 1 Racing? Japanese Formula 1 Racing Cars? |
nononononono an even MORE obvious name ...

That would be the legendary Formula one Grand Prix then. Never played it but it's supposed to be a must. :max:

Matter of fact i didn't Google it. I went back to an old PC games magazine where i knew i read an article about the top 100 games of all times and they were giving high praise to this title.
OK a classic for you ! |
Lands of Lore?
|
Quote:
Your turn ! :cheers: |
Here's an INCREDIBLY easy one for yall.
And if you don't guess it on a first try, I am extremely ashamed of you. http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/3066/game4vv.png |
Zelda ? But which one ? :blink:
Let's go for the first of the series then ! :huh: |
OMFG, TEH NOOB.
It's the first one. Your turn. |
Well here comes a true classic !
|
My first guess is : Gay
:ok: Ultima? Nethack? |
No to all. What do you mean gay ? :blink:
|
Is that ADoM? It's definitely familiar.
|
No. What is ADoM ?
EDIT : Ok, i googled ADoM (ancient domains of mystery) and it's not that. But it is indeed a roguelike. ;) |
ToME? Or even Rogue?
|
WHAT?!! How come no-one knew this yet?!!
Well, it could be ToME.. It's the same game in a way. But my answer's ANGBAND! ToME's a variation, but it could be counted as a new game in a way. I still think that pic's from Angband. |
Quote:
And Angband was the answer i expected since i said it was a classic. So your turn Aristharus ! :ok: btw : Aren't you dry yet lil' cat ? It's been awhile now. :bleh: |
D'oh! That was going to be my next guess - I'm used to looking at ZangbandTK so I didn't recognise it as quickly as I should have. Gah!
|
Strange that more people knew of Rogue and Adom than of Angband. :blink: Angband's the second that comes to mind to me when talking about roguelikes. The first being Nethack and third Rogue.
But anyway, here's my pic: |
Nice game! :D
SimCopter. |
SimCopter it is!
Thus your turn it is, too. |
:D
I like giving turns away, so here: |

Let's see if you can get this game!
|
It looks like a graveyard.
|
and in the middle, it looks like an old man with a big nose and beard, and a pointy hat... a little wizard maybe?
|
It is indeed set in a graveyard (1st level at least; I think 2nd is aswell)
|
When I looked at it and saw someone say graveyard, I had a good idea about what it was. I looked the game up and compared the graphics, so I'm fairly sure that I'm right...
Is it Monster Bash with Johnny Dash? |
Correct Alf!!! :Brain:
|
Great! :D
Try this one. http://img471.imageshack.us/img471/9908/monogame6tp.png The game was made in 1991, and I remember playing it on my family's old 286 laptop when I was a kid. The game is obscure, but it might be obvious when you see the picture. |
Home Alone! :D I loved this game
|
Correct! :ok:
Your turn Nikson! |
Er, wasn't there supposed to be a picture?
Or am I just not seeing it? |

Er, Blood?
It's really hard to see, I should know it though. |
Yep. It's actually one of the screenshots from Abandonia's review page for Blood :)
|
|
ehhh... looks similar to Might and Magic 1 but I know it's not.
Right? |
Yeah it's not...
Think Gold Box D&D. |
gold box [i]is[/u] D&D... and there are other games using its engine. Damn.
Pool of Radiance? |
Yeah, looking at the HTML link aren't you?
That's why I said it was easy. |
i didnt, actually. I did a google search for gold box games and wikipedia said the first one made was pool of radiance (with its 3 sequels ):P

|
"Winnie the Pooh on his mission to kill the honey bees" ?
is this a PC game ? |
Yes, it is a PC game. :)

Appogee's Secret? Stupid agent guy...

Nope.
Hint: in each level you have to find a certain item... |
well, thats a lot of games. Doesn't look like commander keen to me hehe

@ Toxik [off-topic]It's a colloquialism. It's certainly acceptable in spoken language, but it's not exactly considered good style in a written text. I suppose that would be why your teacher marked it as wrong.[/off-topic]
No idea about the screenshot, I'm afraid. |
I know the game, not the name <_<

If that's not Qix, it's a clone of it. I used to love that game.

its possible that its a clone of qix,cause i never played that game.

I think your game is Goblins 1? :D |
well, the game is actualy called "gobliiins", but what the H? your turn!

Shouldnt "Gobliiins" be Goblins 3 actually?

surprisingly, no.
they go like this: gobliiins (1)- and has 3 charecters. gobliins (2)- and has 2 charecters. goblin's quest (3)- and has only 1 charecter. |

I wouldn't call Xevious somewhat unknown game.
There is one even on my GBA. LOL |
Yeah, well, i was talking about the arcade original. I don't know much about console ports. Anyway your turn ! :ok:

River Raid! I used to play it a lot too.

While we waiting for FPJ, here is another A2600 game...

Yeah, feel free to take my turn. I've got to get some work done! I don't recognize that game at all, and I was quite a fan of Activision in the 2600 days...

Thx.
I was under impression that someone will figure this one out very fast. Guess I was wrong. (OMG, am I that old :)) |

Is your name a bit of a hint? That's a still from C&C isn't it?

yea.... now can you guess what it is? :D

Not sarcasm, just a joke.

That one's pretty obvious, specially since I've seen the original pic. Is it *points at his nickname* ? ;)

Can one of those obvious posters post another image?

[French mode on] Horreur, l'atroce Harry Potter ! Je n'ai trouvé que parce que j'ai regardé les propriétés de l'image que tu as collé, ensuite il suffisait de remonter jusqu'au site d'origine et d'additioner 2 et 2 pour trouver le dernier jeu en date de cette licence aussi juteuse que répugnante. Il faut toujours renommer les images pour brouiller les pistes. :whistle: [French mode off]
Harry Potter and the goblet of fire ! :D |
Horror, the atrocious Harry Potter! I found only because I looked at the property of the picture that you stuck, next it suffisait to climb back up to the origin site and of additioner 2 and 2 to find the last game in dates back to this as juicy one as repugnant license. It is necessary always to reappoint the pictures to jumble the tracks.
WTF??? EDIT: just to make sure I'm not misunderstood: I'm not sure wheather it's spam or not. |
If you're talking about my post, then no, it's not spam. It's the answer to the current posted monochrome bitmap picture. The french part was just a little joke, and i'm sure you can survive not understanding what was said.
Now, talking about spam, your post on the other hand... :whistle: |
allright, no need to be defensive. I just never enjoyed potery.
congrats if you won, and good luck if you didn't. :ok: |
Sure. No hard feelings, don't worry. After all, you're one of the guys who keep those cool games threads alive. That makes you rather sympathic in my book ! :ok:
|
yep this is it.
Mm; i did rename the picture .... The forth game is still way better than the firsts in a lots of way. Why don't you like harry potter? have you at least read the books ? |
well, one of them, yes.

OK here's a cool old game !
@ a1s - Nice try, but some french words remain. Here's a bit more accurate translation of my french "aparté" : Horror, the atrocious Harry Potter! I found out only by looking at the properties of the picture that you posted, next i merely needed to climb back up to the origin site and it was simple work to find the most recent game in this juicy and repugnant license. One should always rename the pictures to jumble the tracks @ Mara - I don't know if you were asking me or a1s, but in case it was me, i didn't read any Harry Potter's book. But i was judging the license, and the thousands stupid stuff that are shoved down kids' throats, not the books themselves. :tomato: |
True, the warner + the publishers do to much publicy around it. (but at first, succes came because people spoke to each other. The books are certainly worth a read ;) )
Back to the topic :D That games seams samiliar to me, but I can't put a name on it. |
there are several games like that, the best known would probably be "galaga", allthough I can't remeber weather it ever came out on PC...
|
I agree ;)
that make it harder to find ! |
It's not Galaga.
Hint : you can move in all four directions (up, down, right, left) and hunt for space stations. :ph34r: And it's not a PC game (or maybe it became one, but that was not the version i was thinking about when posting). |
Woo-hoo, Bosconian! I used to play that game in arcades when I was a kid!

(btw, i too, lost many a quarter in this game. Those were the days... arcade-wise) Anyway, YES ! It is Bosconian ! :Brain: Your turn ! :bannana: |
Heh heh, didn't mean to imply that I've matured in any way since the days of coin-op Bosconian! Once again I've brought the game to a screeching halt with my failure to post a screenshot. I can't post one right now, either, so if someone's got one ready to go, please take my turn!
|
my comand is your wish!
|
Ummm....ehhhh...eeeerrrr
Deus! |
ugh... hmpf... yeah.
|
I really dont know what to say:

That's...
Metal Slug. Please don't ask which one exactly. I believe MS 3.. |
Quote:
Whatever...your turn |
Yay ^^
This one should be already too easy: |
uh... to easy.... right... :whistle:
street fighter? |
Not Street Fighter - but it's beat 'em up, yeah. ;)
|
Mortal Kombat?
|
Not Mortal Kombat either.
Guess it's not as easy as I thought.. If it is really too hard then someone else should post a new picture. |
I have come to you from a distant planet in the Alpha quadrant to tell you about our newest developement- we call it "hint". for giving up is just illogical :D
|
Uh, I see. Hint. K...
Well, it's a game for Neo Geo, beat 'em up ( as already said ), and it's a sequel. The game is set in the year 1863, japan ( some characters use swords and stuff ). Hope this helps out. |
that helped a lot ...
It's "Last Blade" ... an easy one next. (I retouched it so that the game and company name disappeared) |
That's Qix then.
I don't wanna post the next picture, so anyone who likes can take the advantage and post a new one after my post. |

I dont want this turn aswell so please someone ... post something. |
Here is amiga ONLY game....
Because some members have complained because of gray images, here is true monocrome.... :D |
well I'm out of this round (have no knowledge about amiga, beyond half a dozen random games), but did anyone ever told you of color balancing before turning the image B/W? :whistle:
|
Um, excuse me, but if you really want people to actually guess what the image is, you should really make it at least 10% discernable what the hell the image could possibly be.
|
I can't remake same image again, but here is another image from the same game, just couple seconds further in the game. (secret level that I missed while first time around)
|
Golden Axe, maybe?
|
No, it's not Golden Axe. This game is exclusively Amiga game.
|
maybe one of those HeMan games? Or this pather thingy ... errmm ... cannot remeber the name ... oh well: Thundercats?
|
The time limit expired.
I'll put something up that's easier. Anyone who has knowledge of great Mac games should be able to get this one. http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/7843/poop4lc.png |

Mac is short for Macintosh.
And if that was a joke it's a terrible one. |
It's called Big Mac at McDonalds, not Great Mac.
That game is called Marathon, if I’m not mistaken. |

Here is the easy one...
|
Ghostbusters on the C64!!!!
Was one of my favourites!!!! But I can't provide a new shot... :cry: |
That was correct.
You can use Mobygames.com to find the game and make a monocrome image out of it. ;) Saves you trouble of making image yourself. :) |
OK, thanks to anubis' advice here's the next:
|
That's just way to easy.
Zak McKracken My first point and click adventure. :) |
Well, i was a big Ghostbusters fan so the previous guess was easy for me as well. Shall I make a new one then? Since you said that it was too easy. :ok:
|
Sure :)
|
Hope you'll find this one to be more tricky.
A great classic as well. |
Test drive?
|
Darn, yes! :ranting:
You know them all! OK, I'll get a new one. Let's give it a try... |
No, I can't remember what's that game. Bottom of the screen looks familiar, but no idea... :D
|
Quote:
I also think the bottom is familiar. |
I'll make a shot in the dark:
Ninja turtles! (the rat/fox/dog on the left looks like Splinter) |
No it's not Ninja Turtles.
But the gameplay is similar EDIT: Since there are over 15000 views and no has an idea of the game I posted in monochrome I solve this puzzle: It's "Altered beast" on the C64!!! :bleh: :tomato: EDIT2: I'll go on with this game, but I have no clue if there's still anyone interested. |
