Guess the Video Game from the Screenshot

[Fool's Requiem]

Nailed it. How about to keep this game going, the person who guesses right has to post the next prompt?

shouldn't @Spectro do it, since he correctly guessed the last one?

That's the set up, yeah. So since @Spectro guessed mine correctly it's their turn!

It looks like a Genesis game... Dynamite Headdy? Ristar?

Holy shit I think I watched people play this on YouTube randomly about 3 months ago.

James Pond (2?) in the Santa's Workshop level???

Yup it's James Pond 2: Codename Robocod (best name ever)! I think it's from the outside of the castle, which acts as the stage select area. But I could be wrong! So, @Tommy Boy, your turn to post a new screenshot!

It from that era, but I played it on the Amiga CD32. I think it was released on other platforms too though.

Damn. Loved James Pond as a kid. Amiga 500+ here.

Proud of you, Tommy.

Is this too hard?

 

[Ben]

Is this too hard?

I don't have a clue dude. All the games I could think of with blue-haired protagonists don't seem to fit this.

 

[Smacktard]

Is this too hard?

I couldn't figure it out. Looks like a PS1 JRPG, but I can't place it.

 

[dimmerwit]

I ended up reverse searching it and I'd never have got it.

Getting warm here

I played the demo of this game over and over from a demo disc I got. When I finally got this game, I distinctly remember this part but not much anything else besides the trees and the mist.

First thing that pops into my head is Legend of Legaia

[VashTheStampede]

Oh shit guess I gotta figure out how to get a good screenshot of something lol

I didn't recognize this at all and cheated to find out what it was, but I do love that eras aesthetics. Reminds me of the SCUMM engine.

I knew the publisher, so went through their catalogue and figured it out that way. Does that count? I've never played it. Is it any good?

Spoiler: Game

Quest for Glory 1

im fine with that, id say reverse image search would be the only true disqualifying tactic

I've never played it. Is it any good?

Spoiler: Game

Quest for Glory 1

I absolutely adore this series, and I'm fairly sure they're well respected in the genre. These games (and this first one in particular) were very formative games for me, especially for my sense of humor (so maybe thats one strike against them).

The fact that you can carry your same hero and his stats and whatnot through multiple games was mindblowing to me.

Wtf? That's cool as shit for ANY era of game, especially older games. Sounds great, I'll have to check it out some day.

 

[Smacktard]

Alright, next up:

 

[Zell 17]

Man I really want to participate in this game because I think it's cool, too bad I can't remember shit about old games.

That looks GBC era but thats the best I can do

EDIT:

Spoiler

Looked it up, didn't have a shot

 

[Smacktard]

Alright we'll give it a day and if no one can get it, we can move on and someone else can post one

 

[dimmerwit]

 

[Smacktard]

I mean, it COULD be a Neo Geo Pocket game.

Spoiler: Spoiler doesn't reveal the game

It's not, but it could be!

 

[VashTheStampede]

I think i have used context clues to solve it:

Spoiler: Maybe?

Survival Kids

 

[Smacktard]

Nice one, you got it!

 

[VashTheStampede]

I had never heard of that one before, gonna have to check it out.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Hopefully this one isn't too easy but I really liked this game

 

[Zell 17]

Can someone post like Ocarina of Time I think I could get that one

 

[dimmerwit]

I feel like I know that one but I can't place it. It's definitely a 360/PS3 game.

Vash saying he really likes it suggests to me that it didn't review that well.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

It's definitely a 360/PS3 game.

Sure looks like one, don't it.

 

[Smacktard]

Those robot models look like DOG from HL2. I thought it was Natural Selection 2 or something, but nah. Maybe a HL2 mod?

this looks too Unreal Engine 3 to be a Half Life mod, IMO.

 

[Ben]

I could not get that one without cheating. Which is basically this game for me after James Pond.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Ok maybe harder than I thought. Rather infamous game but I suppose the fact that it's nearly impossible to acquire anymore makes it much harder.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

well, that made it easy.

It's Too Human.

And technically its still able to be purchased, just in the secondary market as a physical release. It's dirt cheap, too. Under 10 bucks complete according to Price Charting.

It's free on the Microsoft store and has been for years!

 

[VashTheStampede]

Oh. Well.

Maybe I don't believe in digital media!

 

[shortkut]

Maybe digital media doesn’t believe in you

I originally said "TOO easy" in the original post and changed it because i thought it was TOO big a hint.

You're up my dude

Right? Everyone's trying to pick the most obscure bullshit. At least that's how it feels because I'm a dummy.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I can choose a different scene from the game if you'd like. I just kinda chose one that wouldn't immediately give it away.

I guarantee I wouldn't get it if someone else posted an image of the game before yesterday.

 

[Smacktard]

It's not Jaws, is it?
