Not a new thread, but more of a request for help for another thread. :confused:

Recognise what game this is from?

[img]Download Failed (1)[/img]

Looks like N64 to me. An orange if I'm not mistaken. Strange bit of grey/silver on top. That left/right button in the bottom left corner HAS to be a big clue.

(I don't have the answer yet BTW but will do in a couple of days hopefully)

:dunce:

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

No idea.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Do you have any other information on the screenie? And it's not an N64, fairly sure about that.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

No clues yet. But will have them shortly. Stay tuned folks.;)

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Is the screenshot from a game itself, or is it supposed to be the name of a game, a la Catchphrase... "Say what you see", "It's a good guess but it's not right", "What's Mr. Chips doing...?"

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Looks like something from a Donkey Kong style game.

There was also a peach similar to that on Simon the Sorceror 3d on PC. But I don't think it's that.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

To me it looks like the Earth has been turned to desert and all that is left is a moss covered Millennium dome. The arrows indicate that it could go either way - i.e. the future.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

It looks like it could be something from Runescape, but i don't think it is...

think it's the desert colour that makes me think that, but there weren't any oranges when i played RS last...

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

lol :)


any suspenders?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

It's a screenshot from a game. Identify the game.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

it looks fairly primitive. Why do you have to identify it?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

It's just for fun. Bored internet geeks showing off their knowledge of obscure japanese import fishing simulators. I doubt anyone will get it without clues. Clues will follow. Just wait.

I don't know what the game is but the question setter does.

:sleep:

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

A computer program.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

ohohohohohohohoho

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Clue Number 1

It's a Japanese PS1 game.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Im bored of this m8 sorry ;)

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

me too tbh. :rolleyes: But I'd better carry it through to the end just in case anyone is following it.

It's obviously a really obscure game or something. I eMailed the screen to a Japanese gaming site and all the staff were stumped. They all reckoned it looked like a Pink Floyd album cover.:D

I really didn't post this as entertainment. I just wanted help.

Hey ho!

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

not this by any chance? :)

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

That's good... but it's not right.

---------- Post added at 13:08 ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 ----------

Hey, I've got another screen from the same game.

See.

Looks like some kind of safecracking/bomb diffusing game to me.

Eh?

BTW It's not 'Smart Bomb'

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

am definately on the case with this. Plan to have it cracked within a couple of hours (famous last words?) :)

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

I can tell you the answer now if you like. You probably won't like it though. It's just a couple of Japanese words you won't even recognise. Although I do have a synopsis of what the game entails.

Basically though, someone else beat me to it. You, people of 'Cable Forum', have let me down.

:dozey:

I'll give driver_problems a while to see if he gets it and then I'll post the actual answer when I get confirmation.

:(

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Populous - The Beginning?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

No it's a Japanese title only. Never released over here. (I know)

After this I'll post a modern, PAL release screenshot and we'll have a proper game. Winner stays on rules.

Zinglebarb is banned though! ;)

Come on driver_problems, you give up?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

I must be honest I am not making too much headway and am tempted to say yeah I give up

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

I like the sound of this game... can it also include coin-op games, as well as console & PC games?

Let's get this started :)

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

I think driver_problems gave up, so here's a starter for 10. This is sooo easy, but at least it gives everyone a chance to start with :D




Spoiler:

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

OK, but if we start this thread. I'm not in charge of it. You can come up with some rules if you like, about time limits and stuff like that.

I'll tell you what that other screen was in a bit. I'm just busy ATM.

From an obscure Japanese bomb diffusing game to THAT is a bit much! Although I bet loads of people won't know it. :dozey: Of course I could never tell the first one from the sequel.:rolleyes:

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

ok - what about this one then?

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

First one is Ghosts N Goblins and the 2nd one looks like Defender.:D

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

yep :)

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Says "Streets of Rage 2" at the bottom. Is that the answer or a red herring?

Ahh, Project X on the Amiga... Sweet.. :p:

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Yeah, Team 17 in their prime there.

I was thinking, we can just have this thread as a free for all for now. If it gets too busy and too many people posting screens all at once we can set some rules. Maybe you have would have to guess correctly to post.

BTW posters, change the filenames before you post - otherwise it all gets a bit too easy.

:p: For Those Who give a...

The original screenshot was from a Japanese PS1 game called 'Suzuki Bakuhatsu'.

"This very odd game released by Enix is unique. It's a puzzle game, in which (you) control Suzuki-san, a girl who for some reason has this knack of running into bombs which are disguised as normal everyday items. Your job? Disarm them, using clues in the game."

That would explain the Orange with strange metal on top. It's a bomb disguised as a piece of fruit, damn terrorists.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

You've got me stumped, chocky909. What is it from? It looks kinda familiar.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Spectrum game. Came free with my Sinclair +2 with 5 other games. Made by Sinclair 1986 if I'm not mistaken. I'll post another screenshot in a bit.

---------- Post added at 18:24 ---------- Previous post was at 18:17 ----------

Sorry, it's Gem Software 1984.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

OK. Too hard. That was Disco Dan on the Spectrum.

Try this.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Rick Dangerous... it's the 1st level, quite near the beginning. Produced by Microprose... looking at the screenshot, I'd say it's from the ST version.

I actually did my work experience at Microprose when I was a school kid at about the time this came out.

---------- Post added at 12:47 ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 ----------

Heh, just thought any other Rick Dangerous fans might like this... there's an open source Windows & Linux port available here... http://www.bigorno.net/xrick/

and I then found this - play Rick Dangerous in your browser... http://rdfhost.free.fr/ (I can't check this out just yet as I'm at work, but I'm hoping it's a good version :) )

Well, carrying on with this, here's the next screenie - it's another easy one... well, it is if you're as old as me :)

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

I can't quite see the idea catching on - us Brits/Americans don't eat enough fruit. Be going off in the warehouse. An exploding burger - well that would be different. Would be a threat to global peace.


Some of the texture on that Rick Dangerous (never heard of it) screenshot look very much like those from Lost Vikings :erm:

Nice to see the colours though - sort of comforting.

---------- Post added at 15:09 ---------- Previous post was at 15:06 ----------

Oh and I was in the the Ikea self-serve warehouse the other night. Pyschologically it's like the entrance to hell, but the walls and fixtures are very much like Half-Life. Freaky. I found myself keeping an eye out for crabs :D

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Q~Bert, although I nearly said Qix for obvious reasons. Interestingly enough, the screen I put up of 'Disco Dan' is base on the same principle. The screen I posted was the first stage where you run up the corridor dodging holes and jumping fences. The main game is this.
http://img346.imageshack.us/img346/2...scodan29fm.jpg

Almost exactly the same game really, LOL. Not as bad as Great Giana Sisters on the Amiga though.

Just for you then.

The Lost Vikings?

LoL I didnt read the full post, looks like i was right from the screenie anyway :D

---------- Post added at 16:43 ---------- Previous post was at 16:41 ----------

Try this one! (And no looking at the filename!)

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2006/04/2.png

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade by LucasArts. And I DIDN'T look at the filename OK?

BTW the Lost Vikings wasn't my intended next screen. That was just for greencreeper. Anyway, here's my actual next one

Chase HQ. Great in the arcades, not so great on the Speccy.

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Well, apparantly the Speccy was the best version other than the coin-op. I had the Amiga version which was utter tosh. The car was tiny and there was no sensation of speed. Very disappointing. I'd love a go on the arcade version again.

AMIGA VERSION

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Alien Breed? I think it's the first one...?

Ah yes MAME. I keep meaning to get into that. It's hard work though. I already got PinMAME (pinball) going, Spectaculator (easy) and WinAE (30% success rate). I haven't even got a joystick though. LOL I 'll get setup soon. I'll be playing Sensi online in no time.

Anyone know this. Clue it's a PS3 screen, but no-one actually believes it's really an ingame shot.;)

Yo Ho Ho, and it's a Speccy game.

Hmmm, judging from the bottom left I'd say Skool Daze on the spectrum. :D

Superb game. I wonder if Bully from Rockstar will be anywhere near as good.

Gorf... I think the arcade version used to try to speak the word Gorf, but it sounded terrible

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

LOL

Yes Garf was correct with Gorf. Wasn't it one of the first games to feature digitised speech?

Anyway, probably a bit difficult for this thread at the moment. I wouldn't have got it.:D

Sorry about the delay... anyway, here's another easy one to get some more involvement.

http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/568...ebeast27ln.png

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

From what I read, the speech in Gorf was actually a looped tape, which had a tendency to break. This is why not many Gorf machines survived.

What was it then? Yi Ar Kung Fu? International Karate? I recognise it. Bruce Lee?

Nope. Nothing to do with Gauntlet..

Re: whats this screenshot from?
 

Stuart, it's not the old Capcom game called 1942, is it?

Damn I had that on the Commodore 64. You're a ball and have to make it up to the top of the screen, as it scrolls. Can't remember the bloody name though.
