Name that Game

[Brandonv]

No, but you're on the right track. Think of weapons not used by the Federation.

 

[archeryguy1701]

Disruptor?

 

[captcalhoun]

bat'leth?

 

[Brandonv]

Disruptor is correct. Released for the Playstation in 1996, it is the first game by Insomniac, the makers of Spyro, Ratchet & Clank, and Resistance: Fall of Man.

 

[archeryguy1701]

Yay, I won one and it's not even one I've ever played/ heard of! This one isn't a big game, but I've seen it referenced around here several times so someone should know it.

 

[BigFoot]

^ Sins of a Solar Empire? I never actually played the game, so I'm guessing.

 

[archeryguy1701]

Wow, that took long. Yep, and now it's your go.

EDIT: I'm going to bed, so if anyone is certain what the answer is, just post the next one because I won't be back for about eight hours.

 

[Canadave]

Well it's obviously Commander Keen, but which one?

Aha, found the screenshot. It's CK 4: Secret of the Oracle.

Okay, one from my childhood:

Looks like Test Drive...but I don't remember the graphics being that crude, at least not on the ST.

 

[Canadave]

^ Test Drive is correct. That shot is from the C64 version, I believe.

 

[Reverend]

Ah, that explains it!
Ok, this one is the great-granddaddy of games like Far Cry 2 and Just Cause 2. Anyone who thinks GTA invented sandbox games is just plain ignorant.

 

[Canadave]

Hint? The interface looks somewhat familiar, but I can't place it for sure.

 

[Reverend]

^It's another very early 90's ST game.

 

[Canadave]

Oh! Is it Hunter?

 

[Reverend]

^Correct.

 

[Canadave]

Well, my last one was guessed rather quickly, so I'm going to try for something more obscure this time:

 

[Canadave]

No guesses so far, so a hint:

This DOS-only game was published by a well-known, now-defunct company that had its heyday in the 80s and early 90s.
