I was lucky that my friend had a copy of it, took me ages to remember what it was called though. And cost me a phonecall to Canada (where my friend now lives) to confirm it.
Ok here is my screenshot.
Looks like an ST game but thats as far as I can fathomÂ
Its not one of the Captain Blood games is it?
Ive just worked out what this is, but i will let some more people guess first.....

Keep guessing.....no clues this time.
That's a hard one but I will dedicate some research time over the weekend lol.

Severed HeadsÂ

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

Because I have no idea!
Bumpping this thread..it's been over 2wks now and no-one has had the balls to guess it......whatsa matter? steroids make ya deaf?
Sorry, clueless in Miami when it comes to this game. My knee-jerk would be a Jumpman Jr game but it doesn't look quite right.
No..it is not jump man junior although I wish it was..as this is going on along time now..this will be the second time I've caught out everyone in the screenshot challenge

Try again..wizard is about to die...

You sir, are my new screenshot expert buddy...correct-a-mondo!!! ;)
Thank you Greyfox for the compliment and the welcome, here is my screenshot i'm not sure if its difficult or not but i guess we'll see! goodluck
No idea! :D
Is it called Forums? As the file name has the same name..
hahaha no i made sure to change the name of the file
I have this one, it's Killer Bees for the Philips Videopac.
I have this one, it's Killer Bees for the Philips Videopac.
I knew it was a Videopac game! I just couldn't think of the name! >:(
Very good haha im guessing that the videopac is the odyssey2 for europe?
Yup, it is indeed

Right here is my one
Very good haha im guessing that the videopac is the odyssey2 for europe?
Yes! Its the Philips' Videopac in Europe and Magnavox (who are owned by Philips) Odyssey 2 in North America
off-topic here guys.. >:(
any clues to the game? Console Compulsive ? I have no idea what it is.
what year was it made?
It was released in 1985. Other clues will follow..............eventually! Mwa ha ha ha ha!Â

You are evil, evil, evil! LOL
bumping this... any chance of another clue m8?
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 anywayÂ
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
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
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 :)
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.
Looks like a 32bit era game. Possibly a 3DO title? Looks weird (and ever so slighlty wrong!) whatever it is.
Thats a hard one.. Might have to search the net lol.

Yes it is a 3DO titleÂ
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.
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.
Well done GF..
New one Foxy?
yeah..sorry about the delay getting back

this time a nice little looking platformer for you all to guess, on 16 bit platform is all the clues I'll be giving.
[/align:2scioe8k]
The one above too spicy for all ?, any guesses ?Â
I just can not get this one..
Is in a console game or computer?
It's a computer oneÂ
still no takers...okay..this game was created on the Amiga Computer platform..that should narrow it down for you all now
I knew it was an Amiga game and i am still lost.

any ideas guys? Come on, this will be the 3rd time I've won a stalemate in the screen shot challenge..
Okay final clue.. Released in 1995 and is an ECS game, came on 2 disks and got 85% in amiga formLater litterly handing it over here..
okay it looks like we have no winners here this week...

the name of the game to add your list of unknown that became known is..... a game called
Odyssey from
Mediagenic (formly known as
Activision) back in 1995 released on the Commodore Amiga. and since no one got this one, i choose someone for the next screenshot, I Pick
