Name that Game

[B.J.]

Seems like you'd kill more turtles than save with that excavator, and what's with the Hitler pacman?!?

Anyway.....

No idea what that is. Looks like a less shitty Battlezone. Seems like the kind of game I would've loved back in the day, but I totally missed it. Nothing turned my crank in those days like the baby steps of polygons. This does remind me of a similar, but more primitive looking game that I had completely forgotten about. I'll save that one for my next game though.

Good ol' Stellar 7

 

[B.J.]

Yup, Stellar 7 it is!

Good ol' Stellar 7

Damn, beat me to it! Loved that game.

 

[Bishop76]

Easy one:

That does seem pretty easy. Space Quest I, VGA remake? Looks like the Cantina on the desert planet.

 

[Yoda]

Hmm, on second thought it's Space Quest IV... Grr!

 

[Bishop76]

Yup - Space Quest IV - still kind of wish they were making them.

 

[Yoda]

Hmm, the game I was thinking of was too closely related to Stellar 7 after I researched it a little, so nevermind:

 

[Sparky]

Deep Blue for the TurboGrafx 16. I never owned the game, but I do remember the distinctive shape of your "ship", from magazine screenshots.

 

[Yoda]

Bingo. I did own it. Very frustrating. Lots of slowdown.

 

[Sparky]

This next game is one of the worst games I have ever played.

 

[Reverend]

^That is VERY familiar looking...Can't place it though.

 

[Itisnotlogical]

It looks like I'm gonna have to guess just to keep the thread afloat...

Vertigo?

 

[Bishop76]

Yeah, I got nothing on this one.

 

[Yoda]

It's clearly Sonic 2. You can see Sonic and Tails facing away from the camera on the right side.

 

[Sparky]

It's called Zoom!. It was a Sega Genesis game. Since itisnotlogical was the first person to even try and guess the game, I bequeath the next turn to you

 

[Yoda]

Sheesh, I at least had the right system

Actually I guess I did at least know of this game, because I was thinking something that started with a Z... my brief search was in the MAME arcade neighborhood on account of the WTF scanlines. I mean c'mon, scanlines for a Genesis screenshot? Weak!

LOL! I made the screenshot myself It was supposed to be a subtle clue that it was not a PC based game.
