Name that retro game...

[fuJi]

Name the game in the screenshot. Once it's figured out, someone will/should post another one. (try not to have the game name in the URL ^_^)

[Toma-kun]

Blake Stone, baby! Nice pick by the way, only a handful of people would be able to identify that game.

http://www.rreactor.com/gallery/pic.jpg

[fuJi]

Gothic?

[Toma-kun]

Close, Gothic II. :D

Not as old as Blake Stone, but still pretty old.

[fuJi]

Well, at least I had the right series. :)

[Crave]

Is that Wing Commander?

[fuJi]

Yes it is. :)

[Toma-kun]

Ah memories.

http://www.rreactor.com/gallery/picd.gif

[Crave]

That's tough, at least for me. Is it one of the Wizardry games?

[Toma-kun]

Nope, though it has a similar cult following.

[Crave]

Dungeon Master (2)?

EDIT: Nevermind... you told me. ^_^

[Redion]

That doesnt look to retro....... hmm cant tell.

[Toma-kun]

That's Syndicate Wars. Underrated game and for the most part, largely ignored by the politicians even though it was ultra violent and you could kill civilians.

[Redion]

Sweet, have to get it, what platfor was it for? (please not PS, will take to long to get the iso...)

[comestelumi]

I wonder if you can guess this one.

[Toma-kun]

It was released for the PS, Saturn, as well as the PC. the-underdogs.org might have it for download.

[Crave]

If I remember right they do, but I think it'll crash if you try running it on XP.

[Toma-kun]

There's always Abandon Loader or DosBox.

[Crave]

I wonder if you can guess this one.

>>http://www.rreactor.com/phpwcms_tmp/thumb_preview/8_965_EU98r2X3Ss.gif
Can I ask for a hint? ^_^

[Toma-kun]

Yea that pic doesn't ring a bell. I was about to say Ghouls and Ghosts though.

[Crave]

Well since the last one isn't going anywhere...

http://archive.gamespy.com/top10/december02/grails/9s.jpg

[ViralArtist]

*Random* Contra??, not the old ones,..

[Toma-kun]

It has to be an arcade game, since it says free play, but I can't say I've played enough rail shooters.

[Soul_Angel]

It's Radiant Silvergun. That was such a fun game.

[Crave]

Yep. :)

[Toma-kun]

Give this one a try:

http://www.rreactor.com/gallery/shot2.jpg

[Soul_Angel]

I know I've played that game, but I don't remember what it was called.

[Toma-kun]

I still play it every now and then. Definitely one of the most underrated games ever released for the PC.

[Soul_Angel]

Okay, than I probably don't know what it is, but I'll figure it out sooner or later.

[Crave]

It at first looked like the flying stages in EarthSiege 2, but I noticed it's not.

Another guess, is it Hardwar?

[Toma-kun]

Yep, it's Hardwar. :D

[Soul_Angel]

This is probably an easy one but oh well.

http://www.keepgaming.com/images/video_games/big/tv-game-atari/images/atari-1.gif

[Toma-kun]

Atari? I think I may be too young to remember that.

[Soul_Angel]

I'm young, but I know it. Need a hint? It's easy to get if you've even played on an Atari.

[Crave]

I had to look around for it, but Adventure?

Wether that's cheating or not, I'm not sure. ^_^
http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=1

Otherwise I had no idea...

[Soul_Angel]

Yes, that is correct.

[Toma-kun]

My turn:

http://www.rreactor.com/gallery/rcc.jpg

This is, hands down, the most terrifying game I've ever played in my life. I'm not easily startled or frightened so that's saying a mouthful.

[Soul_Angel]

I have played that game and it was fun, that's all i remember. I don't remember the name or anything else that i haven't mentioned.

[Soul_Angel]

Darn, I thought I played it, but I didn't. Well since it seems like no one's going to get it, why not tell us what it is?

[Toma-kun]

Ok fair enough. It's Realms of the Haunting for the PC; from the masterminds at Interplay and Gremlin (one of my favorite companies).

[Soul_Angel]

Ok, guess since no one's going to post another game, I guess I will.
http://emultest.free.fr/screenshot/sninbattleclash.png
This was a pretty fun game, but extremely easy.

[Crave]

At first I thought it was Metal Combat. :)

Battle Clash

[Soul_Angel]

Yes, it is Battle Clash. So who's next?

[Toma-kun]

I've never even heard of that game.

http://www.rreactor.com/gallery/sns.png

I've recently started to play this game again on the PSP SNES emulator. Good memories.

[Soul_Angel]

Battle Clash was a game for SNES that wasn't well known, but it was kind of fun.

For some reason that game reminds me of the Legend of Zelda games on gameboy...I loved those, but I have no idea what that is.

[Toma-kun]

This one's pretty obscure too, made by then underdog (at least here in the States) companies Quintet and Enix.

[Crave]

Robotrek. :)

[Silver]

I've recently started to play this game again on the PSP SNES emulator. Good memories.
How do you obtain the emulator?

[Toma-kun]

pspupdates.com

You have to be running PSP firmware version 1.5 or lower to use them though and while the emu is very good, it's not perfect; speed is still not quite 100%.

Anyway, Robotrek is correct! Someone post a new one, quick!

[Soul_Angel]

I'll do it when I think of one, unless someone wants to go before me.

[Crave]

While it's not extremely old, it is from 1997 though. I might need another picture but I'll start with this one.
http://63.236.73.75/images/games/shot/ea/1t.jpg

[Toma-kun]

Hmm, that looks a little bit like one of the "Strike" games, but not quite sure.

[Soul_Angel]

I'd probably have to say one of the Strike games as well. Is it one of them?

[Crave]

No it's not related or part of that series. I this one might be a tad hard.

So perhaps some hints?

- 1997
- Second half of title is "Assault"

[Soul_Angel]

Assault? I've heard of a game that had the last part as Assault. I would like to say Battle Assault, but I'm probably wrong.

[Toma-kun]

Extreme Assault? I vaguely remember that game involving helicopters.

[Crave]

Extreme Assault? I vaguely remember that game involving helicopters.
That would be the one.

[Toma-kun]

This one should be pretty easy. If you can't figure it out, shame on you :D

http://www.rreactor.com/gallery/oldie1.gif

[Soul_Angel]

I can't figure it out...shame on me :( .

[Fish]

The character looks like a Duke Nukem type of guy.

[Toma-kun]

Can't believe no one knows what this game is. It was iconic back in its heyday and it still stands as one of the best tactical RPGs to ever grace the PC!

[UPRC]

It looks so familiar, but I don't know what game that is... I tried doing a Google image search on the name in the screenshot but I just got a bunch of basketball players. :\

[Toma-kun]

Ha those names are randomly generated and they can sound silly at times. Anyway, since I don't think anyone is going to figure it out I'll just give it away.

It's X-Com: UFO Defense!

[Soul_Angel]

Wierd, It seems like that name is so familiar to me, but I don't think I've actually played the game.

[Soul_Angel]

Wow, it seems no one has any retro game left...I would post one myself, but I have no idea what to post.

[Crave]

Not sure on how easy or hard it will be to guess...

http://www.atpm.com/4.07/images/page1208.gif

[Soul_Angel]

I can't even see it well enough to make a guess.

[Toma-kun]

It's Dark Colony; I spent a lot of time with that game.

[Soul_Angel]

So that's what it is. Crave...the punch to the back of my head must've done something to my vision. YOUR BONEY HAND PARTIALLY DESTROYED MY VISION!!!

[ViralArtist]

errrr........*hides*

[Soul_Angel]

You wouldn't need to hide.

[Lucca]

I'll be damned if anyone gets this one, it used to be one of my favorite games as a kid, 'though...
http://atlas.walagata.com/w/lucca/Image7.jpg

[Soul_Angel]

It looks very familiar. I just can't put my finger on the name.

[Toma-kun]

That's EVO: Search for Eden. My younger brother played it some time ago when we first discovered emulation. Interesting game.

[Lucca]

Wow. I'm surprised your familiar with it. I love the evolution system in the game, but other than that it's extremely repetative (although things like that don't matter when your five years old). I would love to see a sequel.

[Soul_Angel]

I would love to see a sequel myself, but I wouldn't know what would be happening at the beginning of the story since I don't think I've played the original.

[Crave]

I'm not sure how hard this one is.

http://atlas.walagata.com/w/hwang/screeny.jpg

[Soul_Angel]

It looks like that crappy SD Gundam show. But is it Custom Robo? It kind of looks like something they'd have.

[Toma-kun]

It's got to be a PS1 era game because that looks pretty pixellated. Probably is a Gundam game, but which one?

[Crave]

It's not Gundam related and it's well known for being in arcades and being on Sega consoles. Most recently on thje PS2 after Sega went to all platforms.

[Toma-kun]

Virtual On?

[Crave]

That's the one. :)

[Toma-kun]

Let's try this one:

http://www.rreactor.com/gallery/game1.PNG

Has a really catchy theme song that would be great as a ringtone.

[Soul_Angel]

Knightrider :D? Lol...jk. I have no idea.

[Redion]

No idea
Hmmm Is it for NES? Atari?

[Toma-kun]

It's for the NES.

[Soul_Angel]

Yeah...I still don't know.

[Toma-kun]

I know it's an old thread, but I figure I'd better give you guys the answer to the last image. It's City Connection for the NES. :D

[Soul_Angel]

I completely forgot about this thread...and the whole Retro Games forum.

[Soul_Angel]

I know this is a very old thread, but I'm still gonna try to revive it.

This is a really easy one.

[Lucca]

http://www.streettech.com/storypics/etGame.jpg
Ahaha, poor ET.
Fated to be buried in the middle of a desert. I'd say no game deserves that sort of treatment, but than again ... I never played it.

[Soul_Angel]

I heard it was the worst game of all time. So I never wanted to play it.

[Toma-kun]

Even if they said that was the best game of that era, I still wouldn't play it. It looks so ugly. :D

[Soul_Angel]

Are those trees are UFOs? It's impossible to tell.
