okay I am very curious if anyone can get this. I can post a follow up screenshot if this is too hard.

This is a game I played when I was like five. It had no business having a cartoon-like character and looking like it was a game for kids. It was brutal hard. This was before some video game best-practice got established I guess, with reasonable lives, reasonable difficulty, that kind of thing.

It reminds me of Rayman 1. Rayman 1 looked really deceptive, looks like a game for kids but it's ridiculous how hard it is.

o no I swung too far in the other direction and this one might be too hard :censored:

Thinking about it, in the early 90s pretty much every game featured pizza or Italians lol, perhaps that is some of my error

I'll post one more screen, this features the main character...it was a series...DOS...

I was a dumb kid who couldn't read English yet. My dad had a demo cd or just some random collection demos. Regardless i did beat whatever was on there for Skunny. Idk if it was only a level or a while world, but indonremember the Romans.

Gimme a minute to figure out a game.

Is that Descent 3 or something? It looks incredibly familiar and that's one I remember playing and failing at as a kid.
It is Descent! I did look for a screenshot from 1 so it should be 1.

Very fun game to play as a kid. I also vividly remember ducking my head as I went through tight openings. My dad also had a joystick so I was using that to play this.

Recognised the second shot straight away.

I used to play Skunny Kart, which unsurprisingly is a total rip-off of Mario Kart.

Edit: Actually Googled it to refresh my memory and it's based on stolen code for what became Wacky Wheels.



Holy shit you just unlocked a core memory in me

I remember those items you could pick up! Those potion bottle things! I remember those clocks!

I haven't thought about that in thirty+ years!

Plus the thing with the bat that beat you up when you ran over it. That was always annoying.

I only had the shareware version, though given how similar the tracks are I doubt it made much difference.

My mum still calls Mario Kart "Skunny Kart" to this day!
