Name that Game

[Rii]

Seems a while since we've had one of these.

- One at a time.
- Poster of the correct answer posts the next image.
- If you're sure, post your own image as soon as you like. If not, wait for confirmation.
- Try and avoid either extreme of the difficulty curve.
- Ditto image sizes.

I'll start:

Tribes 2?

 

[Rii]

Close. The dev studio has a rather high profile these days.

 

[Timby]

Fallen Empire?

 

[Rii]

Nope.

Another shot (of the same game) to help out:

 

[Timby]

Tribes: Vengeance!

My contribution:

Old, but a classic.

 

[Kibbin]

Think it's wrong but, Dune?

 

[Fencer]

Harpoon?

 

[Kibbin]

Monsoon?
Oh wait are we still trying to guess the game?

How old is the first silent hunter? Is it that?

 

[Rii]

Red Storm Rising?

That's just a guess based upon the name of the frigate which I remember from the book. But then the book was based upon Harpoon...

 

[Timby]

Harpoon?

You're in the territory (and a little too late on the timeframe -- think two or three years earlier). The designer went on to work on some really, really bitchin' adventure games (odd, since he started on naval games like this).

Silent Service?

 

[clint g]

This new one has my totally stumped

 

[Rii]

Thanks to JKTim's hints and MobyGames ... it's Strike Fleet!

And of course the studio behind Tribes: Vengeance was Irrational, who went on to make a little known game called Bioshock and are announcing their next project a few days from now.

Another:

 

[Timby]

If that's not PilotWings, I'll suck my own dick.

 

[Rii]

Maybe we could just pretend it isn't Pilotwings?

Damnit.

I have fond memories of becoming violently ill whilst playing that mission over at a cousin's place. Don't think it was the game which was responsible, but try telling associative memory pathways that.

Someone go!

R.C. Pro Am

 

[Timby]

Okay, you identified the game. Now post one.

 

[Robert Maxwell]

Damn, I didn't make it in time for RC Pro Am! I finally recognize one and somebody beats me to it.

Post another one or I'll do it for you, captcalhoun.
