Name that Game

[Haggis and tatties]

Not got a clue.

The graphics are so nondescript and bland, it could really be anything.

 

[Haggis and tatties]

I think that's a screen shot from a emulator running the game, it's got that weird smooth over everything effect that emulators allow.

 

[Robert Maxwell]

Well, yeah, I know that. Even without the filter, it wouldn't be that easy to identify unless you know it on sight.

 

[Kelthaz]

Isn't that true for everything though? Unless it's something famous like Sonic, if you've never played the game before you're never going to recognize it on sight.

I'll play the game a bit tonight and see if I can find a better screenshot.

 

[captcalhoun]

i never recognise 97% of stuff posted.

 

[Kelthaz]

Here's the boss (sort of) for the first level.

Yes, the second level is a sewer. I never said this was a good game. I like it for some strange reasons, but the game is objectively speaking absolutely terrible.

 

[Robert Maxwell]

Oh, I have a pretty good idea what it is now, but I'll let someone else have it.

 

[Haggis and tatties]

i never recognise 97% of stuff posted.

That's 1% less than me most of the time. LOL

Those definitely look like tomatoes in that newest screenshot. Is it Attack of the Killer Tomatoes?

 

[Kelthaz]

Yup, "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" for the NES. There's also a tomato in the first screenshot, but it's a baby killer tomato. Hurts all the same though.

 

[Brandonv]

I realized it was tomatoes once I saw the leaves on the larger one.

Here is a game from about 10 years ago. I remember it being marketed as a Counter-Strike killer, and it was released with good reviews. But the game didn't have much staying power and seems to be largely forgotten.

 

[Brandonv]

It occurs to me that games from this genre tend to look alike, especially when you are not familiar with them. So here is the games box art to possibly help jog peoples memories.

 

[Haggis and tatties]

Sim 5: This time it personal.

 

[Kelthaz]

Yeah, I've got no idea.

Tribes?

 

[captcalhoun]

Tribes is sci-fi, this clearly isn't.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Tropic Thunder the game?

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Tropic Thunder the game?

lulz

 

[Brandonv]

Here is one more clue for the game: The studio that developed this game had been previously recruited by Valve to help with the original Counter-Strike beta. Their company logo can be seen in the level de_train. The company now has a different name and is owned by Rockstar.

I can see the game is even more obscure than I feared, so I'm going to post an alternate game to guess - this one probably much more recognizable (I'm actually surprised it hasn't been posted already, but it's title didn't appear when I searched the thread).

the previous game was Global Operations.
