Guess the Video Game from the Screenshot

[dimmerwit]

Must be a prototype for Mass Effect Andromeda

 

[Fool's Requiem]

well... it IS a sci-fi game.

The publisher hyped this game up to an ungodly degree. Before they even had a completed game, they were prepping to build an entire franchise... a brand.

But then it flopped hard because the game was an unfinished, buggy mess with a cliffhanger ending.

Area 51:2, the 52nd Area

 

[Smacktard]

It looks like a garbage game, that's all I got

Cyber Town: The Reckoning

 

[Fool's Requiem]

The game's script was written by a famous sci-fi author.

Uhhhh I have no mouth and I must scream: the wreckoning

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Uh, there was a 1 million dollar contest regarding the game that was heavily advertised but due to a logistics disaster and utter failure of the game they called off the contest.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

come on, surely someone has heard of this game...

 

[Ben]

come on, surely someone has heard of this game...

Zone of the Enders Game

I looked it up and it's Advent Rising, but no I've never heard of it before.

I'll post one once I think of something good.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I thought it was a well known flop among gaming communities. Thought the 1 million dollar contest was the most obvious clue.

[Fool's Requiem]

Prehistorik Man?

 

[Ben]

Nope!

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Evolution Dino Dudes?

Edit: Looks like that's it. It was also called "The Humans".

I assume you know of it because it was an Amiga game. I only know of it because it got a Jaguar port.

It was The Humans as I knew it, but I did look up if it was under a different title elsewhere and yeah, Dino Dudes.

Kind of Lemmings-esque in game mechanics, if I remember right.

I'm like 99% sure what this is, but I'll let someone else take a whack.

 

[Nae'blis]

Kinda looks like Final Fight?

 

[Smacktard]

Close but no cigar

 

[Quagmire]

Close but no cigar

Are you going annoyingly specific like Final Fight: Guy or what ever it was called?

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I thought it was Final Fight too.

I know Guy is in Street Fighter Alpha, but I've never heard of a character named "Thrasher" being in any SF game.

Guy was in the arcade release I think but not in the main SNES release, they made a version where Guy replaced Cody or something along those lines

 

[Smacktard]

Yes! Because it's interesting! If you're that annoyed by it, you can pass the torch to Naeblis to choose the next game

 

[Quagmire]

It is interesting I only now of it from Retro Warriors podcast (and maybe retronauts)

 

[Smacktard]

Is this like a Panel de Pon platformer or something? That crazy-haired broad seems familiar but I can't place her

 

[Quagmire]

It is a platformer, never released out side of Japan

 

[Nae'blis]

No clue what this is lol

 

[Quagmire]

Hint, it rhymes with a fruit

 

[Ben]
