Gaming Guessing Game

[Green]

Metroid?

 

[polymath]

Turrican?

 

[Green]

Daddy or chips?

 

[Quokka]

Mcmurphy is closest so far, both games combine alternative stages of running and shooting with spaceship/R-type stages. Though Xexyz was two years later on the NES than this one was in the arcade. Even the spelling is the closest of the guesses so far...

 

[polymath]

Xand Sleena

 

[Quokka]

Thats it

 

[Green]

Can we have something a bit more mainstream for the next one? Us slackers at the back are struggling

 

[polymath]

OK then...slightly more recent

 

[Marky Lazer]

I don't remember a game involving two white boxes with red crosses in them...

 

[polymath]

huh? I see it right there...

 

[Marky Lazer]

Ah... it works now... MAGIC!

However, I don't like racing games and have no idea which one is this...

 

[Green]

I'm not much of a racing fan myself. Is it Flatout?

 

[polymath]

No sir. This game came out on arcade, then console, BTW

 

[Winters_Sorrow]

Argh, this is frustrating, I have played this game!

I think it's Cruising USA?

 

[polymath]

Indeedy-deedy! Your go, Winters Sorrow...

 

[Winters_Sorrow]

Ok, well my one's are always easy because I'm not as hardcore as some guys on here, so see below!

 

[Marky Lazer]

I know this! Panzter General or something similar, right?

 

[polymath]

I have zero clue about this one.

 

[Winters_Sorrow]

Crikey!
I didn't think it was that easy!

Yes indeed, Panzer General (I played it on the PS1, but I think the franchise is still going on the PC)

 

[Marky Lazer]

One of my mates was crazy about this game, that's why I know... Rightyo... My turn again. Hurrah.
