Clue: A universe of non-humans...

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Definitely rings a bell... looks like an old NES game or something, but can't think what it is.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Isn't Yoshi's Island or something like that?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Nah not Yoshi! And not on the NES either...

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

I give up, what is it?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Frogger? :disturbd:

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Speedball II - Brutal Deluxe?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

I'm gonna have to admit defeat on this one too :(

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Nahhh it's Mayhem in Monsterland on the Commodore 64!! Guess I was the only one who had it?!!

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

MMMmmm

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Yeah - I think it's a big no-no on this - either very big clues or the answer please.:dunce:

In the meantime try this one:

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

It's a spectrum game - and you don't need any other clue apart from ..... what can you see in the picture :)

Anyway I am off out and won't be back 'till Saturday night so you've got loads of time to think about it.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Motorbike Madness?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Dilly, it's a long time since I have seen it, but is that Lords of Midnight?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Looks like Stunt Car Racer (Amiga/c64?) to me?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Nope, sorry - it does have motorbikes in, though not in the title

I checked this out and although Lords Of Midnight is a text based RPG it doesn't look like this is it. Has anyone noticed the character's name is 'Will' - I can't think of any famous books/films with Will as a main character. dilliga seems to think we should be able to work it out - well I'll be surprised if it IS something guessable.

No. But it's up there with SCR, maybe not in terms of fame and sales but definately quality

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

War of the worlds?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Wild Woods?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Ramrod is increadibly close.... And the main character was called Will yes - it was also a BBC TV series. Although the third book didn't get made.

You could guess it yes - there's even a pointer on there helping you - say what you see.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Erm... is it Catchphrase? :erm:

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Re: whats this screenshot from?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

OOOHHHHHHH - Not a TRIffid no (half way there tho). I dunno how good your memory is but I even had it as my sig a few months back ;):)

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Well done :) - And you said you wouldn't guess it.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

I DO remember this program, vaguely - well, the BBC adaptation anyway. Had no idea it was a game though.

Once I noticed the 'thing' I couldn't get the 'War Of The Worlds' out of my head.

---------- Post added at 18:08 ---------- Previous post was at 18:07 ----------

Well, you virtually gave me the answer...:dozey:

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Yes and if I hadn't we'd still be here at christmas.

I have one more obscure one - but I'm having trouble getting the screenshot to take properly, my original gameboy isn't all it once was :(

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

I do believe it is MY go though...

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Gravity Force/Gravity Power .. one of the best two player games ever!

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Hurrah, I knew someone would know it. It IS Gravity Power. Fantastic game, unfortunately 2 player only and no one ever wanted to play against me - too busy with Sensible Soccer and Championship Manager...:dozey: Voted 2nd best Amiga game ever by readers of Amiga Power. Gravity Power was the third incarnation of the Gravity Force franchise and was free on a cover disk of Amiga Power.

I wish they'd release an online version for XboxLive Arcade. It'd clean up, but the original makers aren't really too bothered about reviving the thing - there are loads of versions available - I just use the original version on an Amiga emulator, but still no one will play with me.

TOUCHDOWN!:p:

horace - you want to post a screen?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

OK.
Showing my age here, this was the first video game I ever played in an arcade.
http://x402.putfile.com/4/11500101595.jpg

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Wow, that is an old game, looks quite good though considering - they were clever back then with the superimposing technique. I also liked the games that were in tables. I'm going to get me one of those one day...

No idea really, although I'm sure I played something similar on my cousins' BBC once. It was called something like 'Quick Draw' or 'Pistols At Dawn' or 'Gunfight'... I really am just guessing here.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Pretty sure it was called "Boot Hill".

My cousin had the Arcade table version.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Damn..and I thought that would be difficult! Well done Stuart.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Try this one :) No its not hard but it was great fun :)

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Pacmania, probably on the Amiga?

Stuart? You want to post one?

EDIT: 200th post (yay) :hyper:

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Well, looks like Stuart's still thinking about which game to post, so whilst he's deciding, let's see who gets this nice 'n' easy one first...

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Frak!

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

:clap:

Now, Frak was a good game!

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

It certainly was -but did you play the 'edited version' Which was rude ;)

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Dilli, how dare you! You know I don't do that sort of thing. I'm an upstanding member of the community. ;)

Anyway, your turn to post a pic :)

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

MMMmmm - Okay then....

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Dont be evil! I recognise it but cant name it :(

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Dunno... looks a bit like Virus :shrug:

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Nope... it started out life on the BBC micro.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Well I'm hoping that it's 'The Sentinal' by Geoff Crammond. I can't find a BBC shot to verify it, though the other platform screens look very similar...

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

It certainly is The Sentinel.

Over a thousand levels - on a bbc micro... I was impressed at the time :)

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

I never played it but I remember it, and I read an article on Geoff Crammond recently.

Anyway, a more modern spin:

http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/4...amethis5gt.jpg

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Mdk or possibly MDK 2

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Yup, MDK2. I have the DreamCast version. Never did finish it though, got stuck on that hypnosis baddie at the end...

Next!

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Well I'm off out to work shortly but here's my next one before I go....

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Afterburner?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Nope

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

It's funny because I was sorely tempted to post a screen of F18 Interceptor or F29 Retaliator, but I decided against it because it would be dull and too hard...:dozey:

Rest assured I am on the case as we speak - I seriously doubt anyone will just 'recognize' that game without a little research.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

F117A on the speccy?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Aghhhhhh i had this game on the Amstrad cpc 464 and for the life of me i cant remember what it was called :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Nope

---------- Post added at 06:16 ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 ----------

It wasn't released on the Amstrad as far as I know.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Microsoft Flight Simulator?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Nope.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

I seem to remember Apple FS1 looked quite similar

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

This was released on the speccy... :shocked: I had F117A for the Amiga1200. Brilliant game. :)

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Still nope - clues when asked for....

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Go on then, gizza clue.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Aviator

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Spot on....

Aviator for the BBC micro.

Another Geoff Crammond one.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Well I can't say I did not get a bit of help, feel free to stump us with some more BBC classics.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Your turn, TheDaddy :)

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Aaaargrgggh, you're KIDDING! It's a Geoff Crammond game! And after I just boasted that I'd read that article on his game-ography.

I was surprised, I asked around and noone recognised it.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

It was one of his earlier releases.....

http://www.beebgames.com/games.php?company=1

I went out and bought an analiogue joystick just so I could play it properly :)

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Where did you get your answer then TheDaddy? I was asking all over. I sent a few emails to THIS guy. Surprised he didn't get it really...

Also posted at THIS site. Unbelieveably, no one got it there either - mind you, I only posted a few hours ago.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

He may well have played it at school - it came with the BBC 'B' at my school...

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Yeah, I remember reading about it now. Very sneaky putting that in right after Sentinal...

Also, if you're going to post BBC screens, please stick to either Chuckie Egg, Elite or Repton because those are the only BBC Micro games I know.;)

---------- Post added at 15:11 ---------- Previous post was at 15:10 ----------

Yeah, but he said he had some help.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

MMMmmm

Ahhh Chuckie egg :) http://vroomfondel.net/chuckie/
Elite - I've got 'Elite the new kind' (which is a bbc version copy) on my pc http://www.downloadfreegames.co.uk/g...ails.asp?id=37 :)

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Indeed I did http://www.beebgames.com/games.php?company=1
That's not to say I did not remember it though, I just could not remember the name;)

---------- Post added at 15:24 ---------- Previous post was at 15:14 ----------

Here you go

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Is it either Red Dead Revolver or Gun?

[Fetches magnifying glass]

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Crikey, my eyesight's not that good!

Maybe all those rumours about something making you go blind are right, after all! :erm:

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Nope, similar sort of game though.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Is it Western Outlaw? :shrug:

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Bad luck

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Outlaws?
Dust?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Nope, I have got to admit I did not realise how many of these Western type games there are, do you want a clue.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Is it a fairly recent game?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Yes 2003 I think

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

There aren't that many (apart from Boot Hill and the couple I said) but I'm just guessing any Western games I can find.

Yeah, a clue would be nice - or try to find another (bigger) screen.

It's not Oddworld - Stranger's Wrath is it? I don't really think so because that is all weird creatures plus it's not 2003.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Big clue it's an Atari game

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

That'll be 'Dead Man's Hand' then...?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Well done :tu:

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Thank you google :dozey: - I had heard of it though.

I'll post another shortly... I'm just going to have my tea...:)

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

I've got absolutely no idea, but I like it whatever it is :drool:

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

I am pretty stumped on this, I don't even think clues would help.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Would I be right in thinking that it was on the Dreamcast?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

You would be correct in that assumption although I do believe it was later released on the PS2.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Some crappy Japanese girls dancing game?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

By God he has got it

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Some Bust-A-Groove clone by the looks of it? :dozey:

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

*It's definately not crappy.

**It's Japanese in origin, but was released over here - that screen just happens to be the Japanese version.

***I suppose it is the kind of game that might attract girls but I suspect the majority of buyers were male.

****It's NOT a dancing game (meaning you can use a dance mat to control?), but it IS a rhthym game where the characters on screen dance, a la 'Parappa The Rapper'.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Space Channel 5 :)

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Correct. :D

I love this game and it may be the 'campest' game ever.
