Name that Game

[Kelthaz]

Nice instincts. You've got it right.

 

[Sparky]

Here is a blast from the past. A classic Commodore Vic 20 game.

 

[Kelthaz]

Impossible Mission?

 

[Sparky]

Impossible Mission?

Nope.

I think I may have made this one too difficult. I had to use an emulator to grab the screenshot because I couldn't find any images online.

 

[Rett Mikhal]

That, and it's a bunch of random colors to anyone playing it out of context.

Yeah, i think I'm going to retire this image.

It's Rat Hotel for the Commodore Vic 20


Let's try this again.

 

[Yoda]

Looks like Galaxian to me.

 

[Jadzia]

Is it Astro Battle ?

 

[Yoda]

I just gotta hope that the name isn't in the pic,

After looking up Galaxian screenshots, doesn't looke like it's quite it... I hope this particular Space Invaders clone is worth the trouble!

Anyway, my second guess:

Rat Hotel 2.

 

[Sparky]

None of the answers are correct so far The game was in arcades, and was released for several consoles and computers in the early 80's.

And no, it's not Galaxian. I know a lot of people look at the file name first for a clue, so the name is all in good fun.

 

[Yoda]

Apparently it's Gorf?

Never heard of it, all google-fu.

Either that or Rat Hotel 3: Return of the Purple Cyclops Dude(?)

 

[Sparky]

Rat Hotel 3 is correct! The aliens stole his cheese, and rat is out for revenge.

Gorf was it's alternate name though

 

[Yoda]

This game is too awesome to last long....

 

[Rett Mikhal]

Cobra Triangle!

 

[Yoda]

Of course it's Cobra Triangle!

 

[Rett Mikhal]

I explained to my friend, today, how much this game pissed me off. Now I spread the love.

 

[Evil Twin]

I do believe that's Out of This World.

 

[Reverend]

I think it might actually be the sequel, but I can't remember the title...alien heart something or other.

 

[Timby]

Yeah, I think that's from the intro of Heart of the Alien.

 

[Rett Mikhal]

Actually it's from the first one... I believe. It's been so long since I beat it (after all, NEVER was a long time ago).

I'll give it to Twin.

By the way, Timby, I give you the award for greatest avatar and title combination ever. Vigo is my avatar on all other forums... and facebook... and yahoo answers. He's my go-to avatar guy.
