Name That Game!

[Iowa]

A descendant of the the age-old "Screenshot-a-thon" thread I made a while back, I've come up with another game that utilizes your poor, under appreciated Print Scrn key. Basically the game goes like this, take a screenshot of you playing a game on your PC (or your TV, if you really want) and others try to guess the title of it. Obviously, you can't have a screenshot that encompasses the name of the game.

Post a number by the screenshot you post (you'll see a demonstration when I post my pics). Anyone trying to guess what game it is will then post that number, and then their guess.

Example:

User number 1: can anyone guess these?

1 -- {IMAGE POSTED HERE}

2 -- {IMAGE POSTED HERE}

User number 2: Hey, I know those!

1 -- It's Super Mario Brothers!

2 -- System Shock 2?

User number 3: User number 2, you're way off!

User number 1, I've played that game over and over again,

2 -- Unreal Tournament[/b]
Note: You don't have to put the two dashes, but I think it makes it look nicer.

These games can be any you choose, on any platform, and using any emulator. Of course, the first restriction is that you don't post something adult. The second is that you must make an effort to not post gigantic pictures (if it makes a horizontal scroll bar appear on this thread's page, the picture is too big).



1 -- http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n269/icefox111/untitled.jpg


2 -- http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n269/icefox111/untitled1.jpg


3 -- http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n269/icefox111/untitled2.jpg


4 -- http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n269/icefox111/shadw3.jpg

[bobson]

1 -- Mortal Kombat 2

2 -- Ninja gaiden

3 -- ... really I do not know ...

4 -- shadow warrior

Are these answers correct ??

[Iowa]

Correct on all counts, excepting of course, number 3. :ok:

Anyone want to chance a guess at what #3 might be? :ph34r:

Also, post some of your own games, people. A game with only one player isn't exactly fun... :whistling:

[Eagle of Fire]

#3 is very easy. It's "Zombies ate my Neighborhood". A classic of console games.

[Iowa]

Well, technically it's called "Zombies Ate My Neighbors", but close enough!


1 -- http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n269/icefox111/qshot2.jpg


2 -- http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n269/icefox111/tn_wesker.jpg


Okay, so they're both easy. But someone has to post these...

[ianfreddie07]

1. Strife
2. Resident Evil 4

[Iowa]

You're wrong on the first one... :whistling:

[bobson]

1 -- QUAKE !!

If only I had time to make some screenshots ...

[nirvrex]

shot number one just got me sooo pumped haha

[Morrin]

There's no point in these threads, because no one bothers to post new shots after guessing.

"Yay I know I must post!!!!1"

[Tervez]

Since no-one posted any pictures after answering, I'm posting one.

This one is a well known RPG classic.

http://www.viridiangames.com/images/U7.png

[_r.u.s.s.]

ultima!

[Eagle of Fire]

Probably Ultima VI or VII, tough I never played them.

[Blood-Pigggy]

That's Ultima 7: The Black Gate and maybe Serpent Isle if you got that installed.

I win for the being the most exact. HA HA HA.

[Eagle of Fire]

Well, since you didn't posted a pic yet anyways I'll do it. :P

http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/1913/snap00052ch7.png

Congratulations goes to the person who recognize this game.

[Addison]

Miner VGA!

And thanks for the congratulations. ^_^

[Eagle of Fire]

My pleasure. Your turn now! :P

[Addison]

This one is really obscure. Good luck guys.

http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/8634/13553429pv4.png (http://imageshack.us)

[Blood-Pigggy]

Technically you have to wait for someone to say the answer is correct Eagle, so you stole my turn.

[Eagle of Fire]

So what? Go on if you like. This thread is dead, and it's unlikely that Tervez (a member that I don't even know) will come back to give you your turn any time soon.

We all know you were right as well as the two other person before you. I'm the only one who took the initiative to continue the game. That's the only difference.

[Tervez]

Since people posted pics before me saying it was the correct answer, I didn't see it necessary to say it was Blood-Pigggy's turn unless all of you were wrong about the games name.

Anyway, I'd say that game is... damn, can't remember the name... I do remember seeing a review of that in some old game magazine. Was there a word Escape in the game?

[chumloofah]

I'll guess Guy Spy on that screenie.

[Addison]

Guy Spy And The Crystals Of Armageddon is what it is.

You guys seriously know your gaming junk. Good job! ^_^


Okay, you're up chumloofah.

[chumloofah]

Let's try something that might not have been a gift from a well-meaning but poorly informed relative.

http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k120/morganstev/Robocod_DS_Screen06-1.jpg

[Tito]

That's James Pond 2: Codename RoboCod. In this same site, by the way.

[chumloofah]

Nailed it, T.
To

[_r.u.s.s.]

i think its some ROM version of james pond, looking on the resolution on blur

[Tito]

Well, what about this?

[attachmentid=4052]

[_r.u.s.s.]

liero ai, but the previous one didnt get solved yet :P

[Tito]

Mmmm, you are right about Liero, so I guess it's your turn. And about James Pond, well, nobody asked about the version, did they? :whistling:

[_r.u.s.s.]

http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/2070/10el2.th.jpg (http://img511.imageshack.us/my.php?image=10el2.jpg)

[Tervez]

A wild guess, Summoner?

[parapente]

This seems to be a rather new game. Is it sudeki? :huh:

[_r.u.s.s.]

no way :D
actually i thought you would get it on the first guess
here are another screenshots
http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/38/17888431er1.th.jpg (http://img524.imageshack.us/my.php?image=17888431er1.jpg) http://img105.imageshack.us/img105/306/99627002ja0.th.jpg (http://img105.imageshack.us/my.php?image=99627002ja0.jpg) http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/8026/island3nm5.th.jpg (http://img58.imageshack.us/my.php?image=island3nm5.jpg) http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/6132/space3dj9.th.jpg (http://img168.imageshack.us/my.php?image=space3dj9.jpg)

[Pietafon]

Is this some sort of Myst clone? ;)

[_r.u.s.s.]

why clone :P

[Pietafon]

Let me ask You in a diffrent way ;)
Well... Is it Myst?:D

[_r.u.s.s.]

there are many mysts :whistling:

[Pietafon]

...and thats the problem...;)

[_r.u.s.s.]

ok ok, the 'myst' was enough since nobody else posts anything anyways. your turn
(its myst 5: end of the ages)

[Pietafon]

ok... What about this ? This should be easy ;)

[attachmentid=4053]

[parapente]

Well that's easy! It's Ugh! :titan:

[Pietafon]

I've told you that it's easy ;)
Now it's Your turn... :whistling:

[parapente]

http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/3346/gamequizfd3.th.png (http://img297.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gamequizfd3.png)
One of my favorites! ^_^

[Eagle of Fire]

Is it Teen Agent?

Ah, the marvels of search engines... :P

[_r.u.s.s.]

how fun playng with search engines.. :P

[Eagle of Fire]

Hey, it's an adventure game... I never played it, and I'll never play it either. I have either choice: try to find some clue somewhere, or stay ignorant. ;)

So, is that the right game?

[_r.u.s.s.]

ignorant? this isnt your obligation to play this game, you could move on and let play others too. somebody else could know the game from the screenshot

[parapente]

Yes it is Teen Agent. Maybe I should find a more obscure screenshot next time :P
Eagle of Fire it's your turn!

[Eagle of Fire]

Hey, at least this time the name of the game wasn't written in the image name... ;)

http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/2876/gamexw4.png

[Eagle of Fire]

What's happening? Can't find this game name? ^_^

Here is some more screens of it. I don't know why it's so small tough, I captured the screens with DOSBox...

[droma]

oooh Oooh! I know pick me im ever so smart!
CYBERDOGS
Too bad I didnt check this topic till the second screen post, then I would have looked real smart.

[Eagle of Fire]

This game is indeed Cyber Dogs, and not C-Dogs because C-Dogs is the second installment of the serie.

Your turn! :D

[droma]

http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/1769/guessfv1.th.gif (http://img156.imageshack.us/my.php?image=guessfv1.gif)

whoops, sorry for the late post, cable conked out on me and had to wait for lazy cable guy.
Anyway here we have a great old game.

[parapente]

Whacky Wheels!!! I still remember all the great fun I had with this game :ok:

[droma]

You sir, are correct :ok:
I spent many an hour playing this wacky (omg hahaha :huh: ) game. Um more smilies... :brain:

[parapente]

http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/200/gamequiz1tc1.th.png (http://img382.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gamequiz1tc1.png)

Try this one. Also one of my favorites :ph34r:

[bobson]

a little off-topic - wasn't TeenAgent a polish game?? These days games from my country weren't translated and sold outside of here ... but I can be wrong :P

EDIT: And i do not have any idea about the last screenshot

[Eagle of Fire]

Me neither. It's obviously a puzzle game from what I can see, but I never even glanced at something similar in all my gamer life.

[_r.u.s.s.]

its pushover \o/

[Tito]

I guess you could post another image, as you were right, even when you got no confirmation.

[_r.u.s.s.]

i guess this wont be difficult at all=)
http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/8586/screenshot27ka6.th.jpg (http://img504.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot27ka6.jpg)

[Pietafon]

Ah how lovely - Morrowind ;)

[_r.u.s.s.]

-standing ovations-

[Pietafon]

Well, what about this one? :D

[attachmentid=4061]

[Eagle of Fire]

Well... I have a distict feeling it'd Dungeon Keeper... But since I recognize nothing on the image, I'd say it's Dungeon Keeper 2.

[Pietafon]

Nope ;)
It's a fps based on a Duke Nukem 3d engine...:D

http://images26.fotosik.pl/56/c0e068d748aa98dc.gif

[droma]

jeez this took me forever. I kept getting hung up on thinking, damn, that looks just like duke 3d. Of course I didnt think about any other game using the build engine. Then it just hit me. Redneck Rampage. Great job, this bugged the heck outta me.

[Pietafon]

:ok: That's right!! ;)
Your turn...

[The Brain]

i had one but sadly it is not my turn and none of you whould get it at all

[Pietafon]

Go one... Try me... :sneaky:

[Eagle of Fire]

We should add a rule to this game... Whenever someone guess right, they should post their own game picture within 24 or 48 hours, otherwise anybody can jump in and claim their turn...

If not, this will probably take forever to continue and it's not really enjoyable this way.

[droma]

Sorry, been busy with moving, I agree we should have some timelimit to keep things moving.

Aces over Europ ?

[droma]

nope, good guess though! It was made between 1990 and 1994. Around this time could be considered this companies golden years. There were other good years, but, whatever im trying to make a hint

[andy_blah]

How the heck do you think we can know what that game is :blink:

[Tervez]

It's an internet game called Defend Your Castle. I don't think we should post pictures about internet games, as normal games are hard enough to guess, right?

[_r.u.s.s.]

you are next, i guess

[chumloofah]

Flash games...
Good lord, what's next?

[Eagle of Fire]

Java games? :P

[Tervez]

Blacksquadron hasn't posted whatever my answer was correct or not (It was. I've played that game), so I'll post one.

The picture is quite big, so I'll just post a link.

Tips: Highlight to read.

It's a strategy game made by Relic.[/b]

The screenshot is from an add-on, but saying the name of the original game is good enough.[/b]

[bobson]

Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War ??

[Tervez]

Correct. The the add-on being played is Winter War.

Your turn.

Anyone ? :huh:

This is one of my dearest games:
