Gaming Guessing Game

Rez?

Correct. Its a trippy on rails 3D shooter with great dance music that sort of changes depending on how youre doing. You can pick it up for the PS2, Id recommend it.

Immigrant Song

I must say, I have never played it, but am I crazy? Doesn't it remind you a bit of Lawnmowerman, though?

Anyway, guess the game the below screenshot was taken from:

Erik the Lost Viking?

Re: Immigrant Song

Erik the Lost Viking?

Close enough. The title of this Super Nintendo classic is "Lost Vikings." It is a bit like Lemmings...but Norse.

Your turn.

Re: Immigrant Song

Ok

How's about this one?

 

[Marky Lazer]

My mate says it's Alex Kidd. I have to admit I kind of cheated with asking my mate, but I want to submit one of my own!!

 

[Winters_Sorrow]

Correct - ask your friend which one it is and you'll get a bonus point

 

[Marky Lazer]

I'm not aiming for bonus points, just for the next go

Chicken!

I forget the exact name but is it Diamond Miner for the Amiga?

 

[Marky Lazer]

No, it's a PC game as far as I know, and it doesn't go with that name.

I've just been sat here racking my brains to remember this one....and after banging my head on the desk for what seems like forever, I've shaken loose the name....
Digger...
which is like mid 80's, more than half my life ago.
Where did you dredge this from?

Cool, here's two screenshots from a game I was 'completion tester' for, that is, I had to make sure it was finishable.

Where did you dredge this from?

We always played it at elementary school. My teacher was the Digger Champion. I recently found it back on the Net: http://www.digger.org/java.html

For the new game, I have never seen that!

Shame, I have great memories of playing this game 60-70 hours a week and being paid to do it. Heaven.

Some clues, which may or may not help are that it was published by Ocean Software and developed by DID (Digital Image Design). The band Alien Sex Fiend released "(this game): The Soundtrack" - the first soundtrack to come from the PC gaming industry - on Anagram Records. And we got some nice reviews

"The sense of tremendous speed and scale in (this game) is truly awesome. And you're given a remarkable choice of viewpoints on the game's detailed scenery, including an impressive Virtual Cockpit and Holographic Pilot Interface, a Virtual Cockpit Target Lock, and an extremely helpful Navicom display to help you get your bearings." - PC Gamer May 1995

"This game plays quite nicely and Ocean has packed a great deal of care and quality into the animations...the flight simulation in (this game) is unique to say the least."
- CD-ROM Today, May 1995

Inferno?

 

[polymath]

Indeed yes! Thought I said 'yes' to this on Saturday...well, anyway, your go.

Speaking of Ocean, this would have to be amongst the most origional games I have ever played...
