Name that Game

[B.J.]

Looks like the Genesis Project video to me.

 

[backstept]

it is indeed from a video game. one that I spent many countless hours playing

Looks like the Genesis Project video to me.

So is it a space body? A moon? Or just some other dead planet?

 

[CorporalCaptain]

^ Dead form.

 

[Kelthaz]

Deadspace?

 

[backstept]

nope

 

[backstept]

ok, I'll make it easier on you guys
the previous pic was from a cutscene
here's a gameplay pic:

 

[Canadave]

Looks kinda like Terminal Velocity...

 

[Timby]

Looks kinda like Terminal Velocity...

I think you're dead on the money.

 

[Canadave]

^ I only ever played the demo, so I don't recognize the level, but the interface looks exactly like I remember it. I'll wait for confirmation, just in case.

 

[backstept]

you got it
the pic is of the secret level

 

[Canadave]

Okay, this one is moderately obscure, I think, but I don't think it will be too difficult.

 

[Canadave]

As usual, I'm dead-wrong about the difficulty. Here's a hint, then: this game is one of the lesser-known titles from a studio that's made some massively popular PC games.

 

[Kimi3013]

Sim Island?

 

[backstept]

how 'bout SimIsle: Missions in the Rainforest?

 

[Canadave]

And backstept has it.

Decent game, too. Kind of like a serious version of Tropico. Damn tough, though, I think the learning curve was it's biggest issue.

 

[backstept]

this one should be easy

 

[Kelthaz]

Xenogears?

 

[backstept]

Got it in one

Xenogears was guessed a few times before, but never pictured in the thread.
thought I'd give it a chance to play

 

[Kelthaz]

Ah, Xenogears. I wasted so many countless hours playing that game. Which is kinda sad because I never liked it.

Anyway, here's one of my favourite games from back in the day. I have no idea how hard this will be, but we'll find out soon enough.
