Gaming Guessing Game

[Quokka]

and moving right along...

A couple of hints and extra screenshots, this game was graphically about as good as the commodore 64 got.

Starting out as an action/ rpg you run around fighting knights and competing in archery, arm wrestling and gambling contests, whilst you try convincing different guilds to join you. Once you have your army it switches to more of a strategy, all so you can wrest the crown back from an evil upsurper/uncle robin hood style .

Is it "Iron Lord", the images seems to be familiar - but I've never own a Amiga

 

[cornelius]

has to be Ironlord indeed

 

[Quokka]

Yep thats it, was a fairly decent game for its time. Made the attempt atleast in mixing genres. I always thought the first person sword fighting was cool, you had to move the joystick in different directions to strike and parry from different angles. Though the arm wrestling (where you had to quickly move the joystick right-left aka hyper sports) was murder on your joysticks.

Another PC screnshot for your amusement:

Is this X2: The Threat, or something like that?

 

[Taltos]

Nope, but close.

 

[Green]

X1: The Vague Hint of Danger?

 

[Winters_Sorrow]

X3: The Last Stand?

Oh wait, that's something else - how about X3: Reunion?

btw, all I see is a small red x but I thought I'd have a guess anyway

 

[Taltos]

wrong and wrong again - game type is correct, game itself is much older thats all the hints you'll get today

 

[Green]

Freelancer? Freeloader? Toploader? Maroon 5?

Elite: The Threat?

 

[Thadlerian]

Is that Privateer 2: The Darkening?

 

[Taltos]

Correct Thadlerian. I think this is the first game I played which required CD switching. Nice story and great actors in the video sequences.

 

[Green]

First game like that I played was Jedi Knight, I think (with it's dodgy FMVs). Or an old SWAT game where you knew which "random" mission was coming up by which CD it asked for

 

[Thadlerian]

Bear with me till tomorrow, will find you an easy one then

 

[Thadlerian]

All right, in which game can heavy traffic be solved with a junction like this?

 

[Marky Lazer]

Transport Tycoon!

 

[Thadlerian]

That's right! Transport Tycoon Deluxe, to be precise.
