Guess the Game from the Screenshot

[quote name='BlueWingX']I believe this is Street Cop, which used the Power Pad to play...[/QUOTE]

That's right. Of the ones I've posted, these have not been guessed yet.

F.

G.

H.

I.

If no one gets them today, I'll post the answers. Here are some hints:
F is a NES game, if you could even consider it a game.
G is a Tennis game with an RPG mode.
H is a NES game. It has both shooter and platforming stages.
I is a Dreamcast RPG.
 
[quote name='Backlash']Another one. This might be easy, but I don't think this game was too popular:

[/QUOTE]

Wizards & Warriors X Fortress of Fear.

I own it, and it's a terrible terrible game.
 
[quote name='Strell']Jack's first one is "Color A Dinosaur."

Is the tennis one "World Court Tennis" ?[/QUOTE]

You got 'em both.
 
Well, I guess everyone knew Wizzards and Warriors X. Kaw's right, it is truly terrible. I don't think I ever got past the 2nd level.
 
[quote name='Backlash']Indeed. For the NES in this case, which is the version I have.[/QUOTE]

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.

Quest of the Avatar, OTOH, was much more enjoyable, though I never finished it.
 
1. Really looks like Heroes of Might and Magic...maybe the first one?
2. Mario's Picross
3. Everblue? Or maybe Everblue 2?
 
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.
 
[quote name='chair_home']I thought I got that one? Inindo, Way of the Ninja[/QUOTE]


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

Interesting fact: If you had your super scope 6 (remember that? :cool: ) sensor plugged into the second controller port, this game would NOT turn on...
 
[quote name='Jack']That's right. Of the ones I've posted, these have not been guessed yet.

[/QUOTE]

Taking a wild guess that this is Air Fortress?
 
[quote name='chair_home']Well you bet wrong. I know the first one is Raid over Moscow (C64). And the second one is GI Joe (C64). Haha, I love that game.[/QUOTE]
Haha....Correct you are.

Mail Order Monsters
 
[quote name='ViolentLee']Instead of going difficult, I'll go with fun. These are some of my favorite sleepers of all time:

[/QUOTE]

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.
 
[quote name='Mr Unoriginal']Taking a wild guess that this is Air Fortress?[/QUOTE]
Nope.

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

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.
 
[quote name='Jack']Nope.

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/
 
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.
 
[quote name='Jack']I've never seen Archon look like this. Which version is it?[/QUOTE]
Yeah me too. So colorful... and so strange.
 
[quote name='Strell']Haha, my personal favorite:

Mario> Let's pickle!

I think 14 is Salamander 2 now.

Also, did I get 19 right? Iron Horse?[/QUOTE]

Yep, got them both.

------DM
 
Last one left (I believe) out of the two batches I posted.....

B4.jpg


Hint: It's a Genesis title from a company that published a boatload of Genny games....and not a single NES title. (Though they did do a couple of SNES games later on).

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).
 
Y'all got 'em. Kung Fu Master, NES Pro Wrestling and C64 Jumpman Jr.
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.

1.

2a. 2b.

3a. 3b.

4.
 
[quote name='woobacca']

1.

2b.

3a.

[/QUOTE]

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

(I have no idea... 80's movies... and x-men, haha.)
 
[quote name='ViolentLee']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.[/QUOTE]



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

Well, H is Xexyz for NES. I is Segagaga for Dreamcast. It is a Japan only Simulation/RPG in which you have to save Sega, a struggling video game company.
Here are a few new ones:

(Edit) L. Rockin' Kats
N. Kung Fu Heroes
O. Blazing Dragons
P. Monster Party

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. :)

Answers in the quote, oops!
 
[quote name='chair_home']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.)[/QUOTE]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.

[quote name='Strell']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. :)[/QUOTE]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) ??
 
[quote name='OiBoy']4 is Dune.

After some googling, 3b might be Knight Rider for c64.[/QUOTE]
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.
 
[quote name='Backlash']I see that for Path A, at least, the movies are in order from best to worst ;)[/QUOTE]
: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.
