Guess the Video Game from the Screenshot

[Jawneh]

Kinda looks like Gunpoint.

It's probably Gunpoint.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Turns out its Gunpoint

[Fool's Requiem]

I Made A Game With Zombies In It (I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES 1N IT!!!1)

One dollar classic on the Xbox Arcade Marketplace

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Oh fuck, that's not it. Different UI. Man....

 

[Smacktard]

Is it per chance Alien Swarm?

 

[shortkut]

Judging from all the ads I see for it on my phone, it’s obviously State of Survival

Great. Now that song is gonna be in my head.

No correct answers yet.

This sucker started off as a flash game, if I remember correctly. Now had a standalone release on steam and such.

The Ritualist?

The Ritualist?

Sounds like my kind of a game, but naw.

Looks like Crimsonland?

That's the one!

Street Rod? Man do I not remember if that game was even good lol.

Nope.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

It's a game called Road Blaster/Avenger.

 

[Ben]

It's a game called Road Blaster/Avenger.

Correct! I thought that one was going to be a little harder, but I guess it ended up on a ton of older systems. I played it on the Sega (Multi-Mega) CD.

I knew it as Road Avenger. Probably my first exposure to Toei Animation, too,

Edit: Very giffable game.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

That video I linked is probably the only reason I know of it. Very recognizable game.

I heard this is like the only good FMV game in existence. I have a Sega CD so I plan to pick it up at some point

Dragon's Lair was alright, but yeah there probably aren't many. Hard to make an entire game out of quick-time events.

I heard Dragon's Lair is unfair because the time a command appears on screen is not necessarily when you should press it. It was meant as a quarter muncher, but the Sega CD game is genuinely well-respected.

I can see that 100% sucking in arcade. Road Avenger too, as that seemed to be arcade first in 1985.

I died so much playing on the Sega CD. If it'd cost money each death I'd have had to start a life of crime to fund it.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I DO NOT recommend playing the NES port of Dragon's Lair.

I do recommend Dragon's Lair 3D on the Gamecube. It has those tricks, but you can typically see them coming if you're paying attention and it controls well enough.

I'll get an image up shortly.

Lethal Enforcers.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

ah, but which version?

 

[Smacktard]

Genesis I'm guessing because that's the version we had and this looks familiar

 

[Smacktard]

Game.

Kolibri?

That's a very pretty game.

 

[Smacktard]

You got er

It's a pretty intense use of dithering, but I bet it looks fantastic on CRT screens. Man, I really need to order some UK adapters so I can play my Genesis+32X over here soon ;_;

 

[Ben]

 

[Ben]

Hmmm... Tits, I've again picked something that's markedly English only.

So I'll give you one from the US release/reskin too.



I guess either title answer will count.

 

[Crazy Jamie]

For once I have seen this soon enough to answer. And I don't have a clue.

 

[Ben]

I will give you a small British hint.

Lenny Henry had something to do with this.

 

[dimmerwit]

Premier Inn: The Game?

 

[Ben]

Premier Inn: The Game?

Nah.

Harry Enfield was technically involved with this too. I threw it all the way back to 90s UK comedians.

 

[Crazy Jamie]

I found the answer based on that clue, so know that it is Sleepwalker, but I in no way did that legitimately, so if someone else gets it then it's their turn. If not, I'll take the moral victory route into this game.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I was never getting that one.

You got it! Googling is acceptable, and if you or dim didn't recognize it otherwise I doubt anyone else will.

It was partnered with Comic Relief, hence why Lenny Henry and Harry Enfield were involved. Lenny voiced Ralph the dog. Harry was just a voice at the start saying "Comic Relief or sum'in"



The US release was done under the Eek! The Cat license, for some reason. I guess even stripping out the UK charity stuff was still pretty English.



Your turn, @Crazy Jamie

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I guess, the answer is in the screenshot...

 

[Crazy Jamie]

Excellent. I actually was aware of Eek the Cat, which is weird if it was the NTSC release of a PAL game. Odd one.

This may well be a little too easy, but it's the game I had in mind for this, so I'm rolling with it.

 

[Ben]

I guess, the answer is in the screenshot...

Yeah, kind of thought someone would get it just off of calling out what it looked like.

Gameplay was kind of similar to Lemmings in a way. Kid sleepwalks out the window and the dog has to make bridges, hold the kid back, etc. and help them navigate past hazards. Fun, but hard at 6 years old.

Ooooh, fukken Captain Planet. I completely forgot about that but remember some sub level trying to clean up toxic waste being very tricky.

Or... Maybe that was a different version. 100% Captain Planet though.

Edit: Your screenshot was the Sega release. I played the Amiga one but still recognized the character.

 

[Crazy Jamie]

Correct! There were a few different versions and I didn't need a specific one, mainly because they were all quite rubbish. I just remember them fondly because I was a big fan of the cartoon.

Looks like the Sega one was more actiony. The Amiga one was more puzzle solving if I recall.

Probably another easy one.

It was, and I think the Amiga one was the best of them. I thought it felt more like the actual cartoon as well. It did at least allow you to play as all of the characters (Ma-ti, the Heart character, wasn't even in the Sega version). The NES was one was a steaming pile of nonsense.
