Name that Game

[Jono]

Yes. I said it would be easier!

 

[Sephiroth]

this one should be a bit tricky

 

[Kelthaz]

Popful Mail. The one game that makes the Sega CD worth it.

 

[Sephiroth]

well, that, and Lunar: The Silver Star and Lunar 2:Eternal Blue

 

[Kelthaz]

Yeah, but the Lunar games were better on the PSX.

 

[Sephiroth]

track down the official Lunar 1 guide for the PSX remake, it is freaking hilarious

 

[Kelthaz]

This one might be a bit on the difficult side, but there's enough in the screenshot that you can always resort to google if you're desperate. I think that's a good compromise.

Looks like Joe & Mac. Though obviously it's not cause the art style ain't quite the same.

 

[Yoda]

Joe & Mac was my first thought. Unfortunately my second thought is "I have no idea"

 

[Kelthaz]

Oh, it's definitely not Joe & Mac. I named the image that hoping someone would take the bait, but alas ...

 

[Aldo]

Hah. I didn't even look up the title of the image.

I feel bad...I kind of cheated.

Looks like Jungle Hunt. Way too pretty to be the Atari 2600 version I'm used to... maybe an arcade version?

 

[Kelthaz]

Prehistorik Man

It's cool. It's a pretty obscure game, so I doubt anyone was going to get it.

I don't recall the rules ever stipulating if you have to name the correct version; yes, that is Jungle Hunt. Or one of it's many variations.

The one I'm used to is where your player character is a Tarzan knockoff, and even has the Tarzan yell when you start the game. This was of course changed to having you play as an explorer when the copyright holders of Tarzan threatened legal action.

 

[Kelthaz]

I think you'd only have to say the right version if there's significant differences between the two. For example, the Aladdin game on the SNES is completely different from the Genesis version. If it's just a port, it shouldn't matter.

 

[Aldo]

Yeah, it doesn't matter. That's the name I put into the search to find a picture of it. So that's the correct answer.

Incidentally, the game had a different title when it was using the Tarzan motiff, 'Jungle King.'

 

[Yoda]

 

[Aldo]

A game I have on NES and played over and over again. It is of course Jackal.

 

[Yoda]

Yep, thought that one would be easy, but so much fun!
