Gaming Guessing Game

Yeah I remember Bionic Commando from the Arcade, was a class game. This next one's maybe a touch older and although dated had some elements that were truly influential to game development.

BTW sorry for the small pic.

Unless I am misreading the thread path, Quokka has control of the thread at the moment due to his current Commando guess.

Speaking of which, I know I KNOW this one....I got to think back to the Atari 2600 days because I keep getting the title "Kangaroo" stuck in my head even though I know that I am confusing two titles.

Hmm....

WAIT!

Was it Quest of Quini Roo??? Quest of Quintana Roo???? Man, this is driving me nuts.

Stenevor was correct with Adventure , one of the first non-text adventure/rpgs, among the first to use random generation for items and the first game ever credited with an 'easter egg' after the author hid his name in the game in protest to Atari's policy of not giving creators credit.

I certainly never played this in 1978 but I do remember playing it and not all that many years ago, though I've no idea how I came to play it on the PC.

Oops sorry, I missed the part about thread flow. :( I'll edit my post, and save them for when/if I can get one right. ;)

Edit: Ugh, apparently I can't edit my post after X hours/days/whatever have passed. Again, any mods feel free to axe my previous post. ;)
 
Looks to me like System Shock 2, but the sequel comment suggests otherwise.

Feel free to ignore my turn if I'm wrong...
 
I think your right, which is cool because that screenshot is from my all time favourite rpg :D but I'll wiat for the vedict in any case
 
In that case...... Shining Force: The Legacy of Great Intention! :D

So many hours of my life have been devoured by SF and SF2, I even played SF2 via emulation a few years back just for nostalgia value lol.

One good thing about looking for games for this thread is you stumble across other ones that you had forgoten all about. This is one of them but it was funny just how much I recalled looking at the screenshots. It should be easy enough to answer so I'll indulge in a few of those screenshots :)

It may be easy for some, not for others :)

But I'll take a guess at Shinobi. God knows which one.
 
I've definitely played this, but damned if I can remember the name. I'll have to have a think. That beginning of level pic is really annoying me because I know it's obvious.

As always its only easy if you know it :)

I just thought it had been a really popular game at the time, first in the arcade then converted to consoles. It's not Shinobi though it has alot in common and I think it was from about the same time. There was a strong theme of fighting the communist Russians and of robotics.

The most distinctive part was the visual of the attack/sword strike, as in the 3rd pic.
 
Course it's easy, it's Strider. Quokka, it didn't help that your last comment made me keep thinking "Raid Over Moscow" which was nothing at all like Strider in any way. Bloody great game, Strider.
 
Here's another that's easy if you know it...we had one of these classic arcade games at school, believe it or not. I think it also made it onto the Atari ST.

Nope, though I did have a very very small hand in testing Micro-Machines, for a couple of days at most, when I very first started at Ocean QA.
(And if I'd started a couple of months earlier, I would have had my name in the credits of Lemmings. Goddamn it!)
