Title: Re: Screenshot challenge.
Post by: TL on Feb 17, 2012, 05:37 PM

You're too obvious with your Jaguar screenshots... at least I actually enjoyed this game somewhat.

It's Brent Hull Hockey. Hard not to snicker when you're childish and "STICK HANDLING" appears on the screen.


It's actually Brett Hull Hockey but good enough  :P

Originally I was going to say Penguin Adventure on MSX but changed my mind
Title: Re: Screenshot challenge.
Post by: TL on Feb 21, 2012, 06:15 PM
No idea guys?  :P

Title: Re: Screenshot challenge.
Post by: TL on Feb 23, 2012, 02:26 PM
Two more clues and if nobody gets it now then I will post a new one!

The game was never officially released.

The original game it shares its name with was on the Atari Lynx.

okay..a sad day for Retro Gaming fans , when a screenshot Challenge has to be forfeited because it's too hard for you guys to guess the game,

the name of the game which was released in 1991 by a company called Sir Rah - Worldwide and used ECS hardware was :
 Severed Heads   :'(

I'll pass this on to the next player now..

So what are the rules for this anyway? Am I supposed to have played this game and know what it is that way?  It's pretty easy to find out what game it is just by copying the image location but I assume that is cheating. Otherwise I don't know if anybody will get this, it's pretty obscure.

I think you will find the file has been renamed and re-hosted, that what most of us do anyway  ;)
Title: Re: Screenshot challenge.
Post by: Shadowrunner on Sep 27, 2012, 02:39 PM
Okay well in that case I believe this game is Mr. Puniverse on the Commodore 16/Plus 4.
Never even heard of that version of Commodore before! LOL
Title: Re: Screenshot challenge.
Post by: Greyfox on Sep 27, 2012, 02:50 PM
If you are correct, then it's your go to submit a game of your choice for the rest of us to guess , this is the way this works, but as trek said you are better hosting it yourself rather from the game image location :)
Title: Re: Screenshot challenge.
Post by: Console Compulsive on Sep 27, 2012, 02:55 PM
You are correct Sir. Well done!

I think the general idea of the game is to try and guess what the game is from the picture and written clues by using general research or prior knowledge of the game.  I would say that copying the image location or using reverse photo searches isn't really in the spirit of the game and anyone that does it should get a smack on the wrist and get sent to the naughty corner to hang their head in shame  :)
Title: Re: Screenshot challenge.
Post by: Shadowrunner on Sep 27, 2012, 03:09 PM
Okay, I was playing this terrible game a bit last weekend so I'll go with it.

Not sure how to put the screen shot up without doing an attachment so hopefully this works.

wow , once I discovered this was on the 3DO, I had to play all the wacky ones I had in my collection and finally discovered that this was

Seal of the Pharaoh[/align:1vl6tbcc]

a very strange and wonderful little game, i never played before till now :)

I will come with a title just as devilish as this.

Post by: Shadowrunner on Oct 28, 2012, 01:49 PM
Congrats Greyfox, I figured you being a 3DO fan would be the one to get it. :)
It's a strange one for sure but you probably won't find it wonderful after playing it for a while lol.
Still it can be fun for a bit, even if it's just to experience how bizarre it gets.
