Name that Game

[Jono]

Mickey Mouse and the Castle of Illusion. If that's right I remember playing that on the ol' Mega Drive 2 back in the day

 

[Timby]

Ah, yes, the classic Disney license restrictions on Capcom ... Mickey didn't have "health," he had "power;" he didn't lose "lives," he lost "tries."

 

[Kelthaz]

It's Mickey Mouse and the Castle of Illusion. You're up Jono.

The interface and the graphics look like Total Annihilation, but it's clearly not that. I'm lost.

 

[Jono]

^ Just a confirmation that it isn't TA.

 

[captcalhoun]

TA2?

 

[Jono]

Unfortunately there was never a Total Annihilation 2. Nor is it TA's "spiritual successor" Supreme Commander.

Here's a clue that will give it away: It had voice acting in it by someone who has also done voice work in show such as Invader Zim, The Simpsons and the Toy Story movies. Leaving out the movie they are best known for as that might make it too easy.

Real War?

 

[Jono]

Real War?

Extremely close.

 

[Brandonv]

Well, this one has me stumped. After doing some detective work, I assume the actor you are referring to is R. Lee Ermey. It says he narrated both the Real War games (Air, Land, Sea, and Rogue States). I have looked up screenshots for both of those games, and while the graphics engine and art style match, the interface is not quite the same.

Edit: Aha! It was a Real War game, only you where looking for the exact subtitle. I just found your screenshot on Google images: http://www.gamestar.hu/kep/real-war-rogue-states

 

[Jono]

^ Yep. When you just put Real War I took it as you meaning just the first game not generally the series as you intended. Anyway, your turn.

[Robert Maxwell]

That's too easy. Red Faction.

And I also found Real War (based on the R. Lee Ermey hint) but its screenshots looked different enough that I knew it wasn't the right answer. Funny that it turned out to be a Real War game anyway.

 

[Canadave]

Speaking of too easy, Homeworld: Cataclysm (A very underrated installment of the series, IMO). Which I'd been considering using for my next screen... hm...

All right, I'll go with this:

 

[Canadave]

There's been a dearth of guesses, so a hint: this game has a unique range of driveable cars.

 

[clint g]

*crickets*

 

[Canadave]

All right, a uniquely German range of cars.

 

[Itisnotlogical]

GRID?

 

[Canadave]

Nope. I'll post another hint before I go to bed in a couple hours if no one gets it.

Also, I obviously don't play the same games as the rest of the BBS.
