Guess the Game from the Screenshot

Looks like Time Lord.

[shipwreck]

Looks like Time Lord.

That's definitely Time Lord. It probably ranks up there as one of my most disappointing presents ever. I got Time Lord and Bad Street Brawler for my birthday one year. That was probably the same year that a lot of curse words entered my vocabulary.

[Dogpatch]

Alright, time for something a little special. I threw together a group of six pictures. Now, I'll be the first to admit, these should be pretty easy to get, but there's a catch. To get this one right, you not only have to name all 6 games, but give the specific theme behind all six games. Also, to clear this up ahead of time, it's not that they're all _____ games, or that I drew numbers on the pictures. It's more than that... Good luck!


Let's see:

Super Mario 2 ------- Sept. 1, 1988
Castlevania 2 ------- Nov. 1, 1988
Track and Field 2 --- Feb. 1, 1989
Zelda 2 --------------- Dec. 1, 1988
Ninja Gaiden -------- May 1, 1989
TMNT ------------------ Feb 1, 1989

Think I know where your goin with this, but my dates of release (that I have found) are not in order. Unless you thinking of the releases being on the 1st of the month.

Edit: I'm finding that various sites have different dates. These are from IGN.

Rogue Squadron?

You're on the right track... Here's a hint that might help. It's more about the release of something else that involves each of these games. You've got the games right. You're very close.

[Dogpatch]

Rogue Squadron?

Nope. If your refering to mine.

Edit: Bluewingx - Anthing to do with Nintendo Power's first issue?

[kakomu]

Edit: I'm finding that various sites have different dates. These are from IGN.

gamefaqs is giving different dates for most of them (I looked them up seeing if they were all from different years, or what).

[Strell]

Nope. If your refering to mine.

Edit: Bluewingx - Anthing to do with Nintendo Power's first issue?

I think you just got it. First issue = Mario 2. Second = Castlevania 2 (with nightmare goodness). Third is the running shoes (so Track and Field). Zelda 2 with terrible actors + sleeping zelda. Ninja Gaiden with terribly generic ninja in front of a city. I don't remember the turtle's cover.

Ya. A winner is YOU

That's it! Between the two of you, you nailed it. It's the first year's worth of Nintendo Power covers. July/August 1989 through May/June 1990 (The TMNT cover). Hope you guys liked that one. I wanted to make a little more of a challenge. I'm going back to single shots, but let me know if you want me to come up with something like this again...

Man, my first Nintendo Power was the Castlevania IV issue. I didn't even think about that.

Ghost House and The Ninja!

[pimp tyranny]

batman forever. it was so awesome because of all the weapon customization, the co-op, and the fact that you could play 1 on 1 or 2 on 2 versus. hard as shit though, back then i was a kid, so i used cheats all the time after i got tired of dying.

Nice little contest BlueWing. Pretty cool to see how everyone zeroed in on the theme. Ninja Gaiden was my all time favorite NES game (not sure why). I remember having fun with TMNT too.

[DT778]

[Strell]

Second is Legend of the Mystical Ninja SNES.

[Backlash]

Yarg I have only known about 15% of these and I always check the thread too late to answer first on the ones I know :(

[IkilledLassic]

correct on mystical ninja....the other game was the first RPG I ever played.

[woobacca]

correct on mystical ninja....the other game was the first RPG I ever played.
You put part of the game's title in the image file name. Hm, what classic RPG started with "Tunnels"... ;)

[Strell]

Bonus question:

What other game is playable within Legend of the Mystical Ninja? Also, where can you play it?

There are a few answers but I'm looking for one in particular. Pretty easy question.

[Backlash]

Here's another from me, I dunno if it's "easy" or not, as people keep mentioning about their shots. Obviously it's easy if you played it or saw it and very hard if you haven't :)

http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/2527/6655176us.th.jpg (http://img89.imageshack.us/my.php?image=6655176us.jpg)

I used to own this and actually beat this game, one of my prouder game accomplishments, given the horrid controls.

Edit: Actually I guess this is very easy, b/c you could just Google the characters in it or something. Oh well.

Road Runners death valley?

[Strell]

DT got it, however the title ends with "rally" (RRDVR). And yes, Backlash, the game is stupidly hard, and the signs are TERRIBLE at pointing where you need to go.

Also Backlash was right with Gradius. I should have mentioned that. :)

[DT778]

sweet, I wasnt sure that was the game because I only played the begining with the road runner.

[Backlash]

Yep, Road Runner's Death Valley Rally. I was young enough (and there was no Internet for resarching) to get sucked in by the beautiful screens on the box. The game did indeed look nice, but the road runner handled like the proverbial dead whale on roller skates. As soon as I beat it I knew I would never, ever, ever play it again so I promptly traded it back in.

[Backlash]

Since the other ones I've posted have been answered pretty much immediately, here's one that is probably less well-known:

yep, except it's spelled with a "Z". They made a sequel called Zanac X Zanac for the PS1. Came out in Japan only and is really freaking expensive.

Makes sense that it would be rare and expensive, considering Compile is no more. Not that I'd ever part with my copy (it is the best shooter I've ever played, though Gradius V comes darn close), but what does it go for these days, just out of curiousity?

Never heard of Shufflepuck Cafe til just now, but looking at the screenshot I think I would have loved it.
It rocked. Character-based air hockey for the Mac. You could adjust everything -- including the size of your stopper thing. The difficulty was crazy.

there's 2 copies on ebay, 1 BIN for $150, one auction starting at 99.99. You lucky bastard! How does play compared to the original? I loved the power up system in that game.

[Daddy_Mulk]

Heh, well I guess I am lucky that I have a friend in Japan and that we're both Compile fanatics; we knew about it well in advance (though not Compile's bankruptcy), so he picked us each up a copy the week it came out. Anyway, it plays a LOT like the original, but about 10 times more insane. Powerups work similarly, although you have three ships to choose from (plus the original ship!), and the ship you select affects what kind of weapons you get. It also supports two players at once, includes the old Zanac (2 or 3 modes to choose from), and has an amazing soundtrack. It will make your thumbs sore!

BTW, even if you can't afford Zanac x Zanac, there are still a few more shooters Compile worked on that did come out in the U.S. that you might not be aware of (back in the day, companies just didn't go out of their way to recognize the small guys)........

The Guardian Legend (NES)
Gun-Nac (NES)
Power Strike (Master System)
M.U.S.H.A. (Genesis)
Robo Aleste (Sega-CD)
Space Megaforce (SNES)
Blazing Lasers (TG-16)

I think that's about all of their U.S.-released shooters, but someone else chime in if I missed any.

-------DM

[Daddy_Mulk]

Okay, the guy who posted the Nintendo Power cover games inspired me, so here's my twist on it. Name the games and what they have in common. Hint 1: They are all early 80's releases, but that in and of itself is not the link in this case. Hint 2: Yes, they all showed up on the Atari 2600; that's not the connection. You'll have to be pretty old-school to know what I'm talking about. I'll drop another hint if no one gets it.

I want to say The Guardian Legend, but I'm not sure if that's right.

It's not The Guardian Legend. I'm surprised no one has gotten this one yet. I thought it was a somewhat well known NES game. Maybe not that many people reached the final stage (which is shown in the screen shot). It's an unusual level compared to the rest of the game. I bet if I posted a picture from any other part of the game, someone would get it fairly quickly.

[woobacca]

Or, rather, they all had individual cartoons about them?
Yeah that's got to be it!

Edit: Did a quick search and found this:

------------------
Saturday Supercade
------------------

Five segments made up this series of video game-inspired cartoons which ran
for two seasons on CBS. The first season lineup featured: "Donkey Kong,"
the adventures of a gorilla who escapes from the circus an keeps on the run
to avoid captivity; "Donkey Kong Jr.," the misadventures of Donkey Kong Jr.
and his friend, Bones, in search of Kong's missing father; "Frogger," the
story of a frog and his companions (Fanny Frog and Shelly the Turtle) as
reporters for the _Swamp Gazette_; "Pitfall," the exploits of a treasure
hunter, his niece and their cowardly pet who travel the world to unearth
lost treasures; an "Q*bert," a teenager who battles the evil Coilee Snake and his
accomplices (Viper, Ugh and Wrong Way) with the help of his girlfriend,
Q*tee.

"Frogger" and "Pitfall Harry" aired only during the first season. For the
second season, they were replaced by two new video game-derived segments:
"Space Ace," a handsome, gallant space hero who, with his lovely partner,
Kimberly, protects the heavens from the evil Commander Borf, who plots to
rule the universe; and "Kangaroo," the misadventures of three youngsters
Joey, Katy and Sindey, who run into all sorts of problems at the local zoo,
including the Monkey Biz Gang.

_A Ruby-Spears Enterprises Prouction. Colour. One hour. Premiered on CBS:
September 17, 1983-Auguest 31, 1985._

story of a frog and his companions (Fanny Frog and Shelly the Turtle) as
reporters for the _Swamp Gazette_; "Pitfall," the exploits of a treasure
hunter, his niece and their cowardly pet who travel the world to unearth
lost treasures; an "Q*bert," a teenager who battles the evil Coilee Snake and his
accomplices (Viper, Ugh and Wrong Way) with the help of his girlfriend,
Q*tee.

"Frogger" and "Pitfall Harry" aired only during the first season. For the
second season, they were replaced by two new video game-derived segments:
"Space Ace," a handsome, gallant space hero who, with his lovely partner,
Kimberly, protects the heavens from the evil Commander Borf, who plots to
rule the universe; and "Kangaroo," the misadventures of three youngsters
Joey, Katy and Sindey, who run into all sorts of problems at the local zoo,
including the Monkey Biz Gang.

_A Ruby-Spears Enterprises Prouction. Colour. One hour. Premiered on CBS:
September 17, 1983-Auguest 31, 1985._

Yep, you got it. The key was that they were all part of the same show, and all part of Season 1 (as the description says, some of the shows were rotated out for Season 2).

Yes, that's what he's *supposed* to be saying (the speech is printed onscreen as well), but it comes out sounding like "Marry" for some reason.

I could start a whole sub-thread on mangled speech in video games. My two favorite of all time that my friends and I came up with back in the day:

1) X-Men: COTA: Even though Wolverine's "Berserker Barrage!" was pretty clear, we always prefered "A 2-Car Garage!"

2) Street Fighter EX: I don't know what Guile says during his super move, but it sounded an awful lot like "I'll take you camping soon!" Definitely one of the strangest threats to ever come out of a game character's mouth.

Since the other ones I've posted have been answered pretty much immediately, here's one that is probably less well-known:

http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/7682/field5dj.th.png (http://img125.imageshack.us/my.php?image=field5dj.png)

Since apparently no one has played this, it's a game called Armor Ambush.

It's a bit like combat, but each player starts with 25 tanks, and you control 2 tanks on each board. So it's a real action/strategy on trying to take out the other guy's tanks as you switch your control back and forth between your two tanks. Whichever one you aren't currently controlling is a sitting target. Sooooo much fun. The game ends when someone gets down to zero.

I don't think I understood RPGs when I played this. I always tried to attack Lord British, and never got very far in the game.

2. Mario's Picross
3. Everblue? Or maybe Everblue 2?

[ViolentLee]

You got 2 and 3 right, but not 1. Mario's Picross is one of the best puzzle games of all time, and I bought the Japan-only sequel and the SNES version, too.

Everblue 2 is so painfully underrated. If you look on metacritic or gamerankings, mine is the highest score given. It's a ton of fun exploring underwater, taking pictures, collecting items, and checking out sunken ships/planes.

[corrosivefrost]

That's correct. I must've missed your earlier post then. Good job. :)

Interesting fact: If you had your super scope 6 (remember that? 8-) ) sensor plugged into the second controller port, this game would NOT turn on...

Had a little help from my friend google. Technically, this is Heroes of Might and Magic, or rather, the game that the developers used and updated to make Heroes of Might and Magic. Its called King's Bounty for the Genesis. I remember playing this game first, then playing HoMM and comparing.

Nope.

Cool. I guessed HoMM because I recognized so many of the characters from HoMM 2, a game I still play occassionally. Sad, really, but it is amazingly addictive still.

[corrosivefrost]

Nope.



I've never seen Archon look like this. Which version is it?

Yeah, you guys got all 4. Man I loved mail order monsters. :) Mountain King was unbelieveable frustrating at times, but good.

I believe that's archon for the Commodore 64 -- though the screenshot may be a remake from a later system like the atari lynx maybe? I seem to remember it being available on one of the now defunct color handhelds... genesis seems to ring a bell too.

Edit: Apparently, there's a linux freeware version called X-Archon... when i googled the game to find a screenshot, that's the one that i picked out... huh. Whoops. If you run linux and wanna give it a shot, details can be found here: http://xarchon.seul.org/

[crowbb]

King's Bounty is an all-time classic. My copy has been played so often I am surprised the cartridge still works. Take King's Bounty + Hammer of the Gods (Another great game) and you get the first HoMM.

[ViolentLee]

Had a little help from my friend google. Technically, this is Heroes of Might and Magic, or rather, the game that the developers used and updated to make Heroes of Might and Magic. Its called King's Bounty for the Genesis. I remember playing this game first, then playing HoMM and comparing.

I guess it's technically right, though I don't think it says "Might and Magic" anywhere on the Genesis cart -- the version the shot is from. Did you know 3DO updated the game and released it on PS2? It's probably my favorite 3DO game, which isn't saying much. But I love it on Genesis, and it's the first tactical RPG I fell in love with (even though I played Military Madness first).

I sunk a lot of quarters into Kung Fu Master back in the day.

Ok, I've been inspired by the themed screenshot challenges some of you guys have posted, so here's the product of my boredom this evening. I have no idea if this will be a piece of cake, or if no one will know what the hell I'm talking about.

Each game is linked in some way to the one immediately above or below it. You can therefore establish a relational path from game #1 to game #4. This path can be created via two possible branches, a or b, in other words, [1 - 2a - 3a - 4] or [1 - 2b - 3b - 4]. Correctly identify the six games and the relationships that I have defined.

Holy crap did I love this game growing up. Worth every one of the 300 seconds it took to load up. It made me giddy just seeing it again.



It rocked. Character-based air hockey for the Mac. You could adjust everything -- including the size of your stopper thing. The difficulty was crazy.



Dude, I still play it on emulator. I cant find my cassette loader.

Answers in the quote, oops!

[woobacca]

1. Goonies (C64)
2b. Indy and the temple of Doom (Arcade)
3a. X-men Mutant Apocalypse

(I have no idea... 80's movies... and x-men, haha.)Yep, correctly named the games. You're on the right track that their relationships have something to do with movies. But the movies are not all from the 80s, and it's not something that all six have in common. I'm looking for a way to go from game #1 to game #4 by following the two separate paths in the middle.

On Woobacca's, 2a = Lord of the Rings (SNES)

I loved it when it came out and I was pumped on how they were talking about making a trilogy of LOTR games on the SNES. It was something I only dreamed about. Then it didn't happen. :)Correct. Yeah, a whole trilogy would have been sweet :D.

Here's the recap so far:
(1) The Goonies -> (2a) Lord of the Rings -> (3a) X-Men Mutant Apocalypse -> (4) ??
(1) The Goonies -> (2b) The Temple of Doom -> (3b) ?? -> (4) ??

[OiBoy]

4 is Dune.

After some googling, 3b might be Knight Rider for c64.

[woobacca]

4 is Dune.

After some googling, 3b might be Knight Rider for c64.
Correct on 4! But not 3b...

Path A:
(1) The Goonies -> (2a) Lord of the Rings -> (3a) X-Men -> (4) Dune

Path B:
(1) The Goonies -> (2b) Temple of Doom -> (3b) ?? -> (4) Dune

Once you figure out how to get from (1) to (4) via Path A, you'll see the same thing can be done via Path B.

[Backlash]

I see that for Path A, at least, the movies are in order from best to worst ;)

[woobacca]

I see that for Path A, at least, the movies are in order from best to worst ;)
:lol: The link can only be established with the original 1984 Dune, not the 2000 remake.

My bad. looked at the source code wrong, and had brain gas on reploid. Time for more coffee.

3b is likely one of the early BladeRunner games.

Nicely done. One correction though: You really *don't* want Radiant Silvergun.(well, you probably do, but it's really not worth the hype IMO. Still, I was happy to get roughly 5 times what I originally paid for it. Gradius V and Ikaruga are 10 times more fun)

Oh, but I do agree with you on the other two, especially Sin & Punishment. It's insane to even think of making a game that uses every button and stick on the N64 control pad (and most of them at the same time!), let alone actually pull it off with skill and finese.

Yep, you got it. The customization was definitely the best part of the game, changing the gravity, different vehicles, and the custom tracks. The racing itself wasn't so hot.

Now here's three more, hopefully they aren't dupes, I haven't been keeping close tabs on the last few pages:

Middle = Axelay.

Bottom is some form of R-Type. Edit: It's 3.

Top is...Lightning Force?

Well you got 2 out of 3...

Number 2 is Axelay
Number 3 is Super R-Type III

And top isn't Lightning Force.
