Guess the name of the game

Recommended Posts

Ahhh Eizei was correct with Blade Runner. If you ever get the chance to play it, its well worth it!

AFAIK most of the characters have variable pasts which are selected at random each start. So in one game, a certain character may be a replicant. In another, they may not be. Of course this has lots of nice knock on effects biggrin_o.gifwink_o.gif

Truly one of the best adventure games ever smile_o.gif

Carrier Command was right, of course.

(If anybody is interessted in trivia: original game design for Carrier Command was done by Ricardo Pinto, later Assembly Line (Cybercon 3 amongst others) who is now writing fantasy novels - "The Stone Dance of the Chameleon" Triology - quite enjoyable)

Someone remember these?

The arcade game looks like Blood Bros (the sequel to Cabal).

The 3rd pic looks like one of many submarine sims on the C64.

I was never a fan of subs so I don't know the name. Prolly something beginning with i688  tounge_o.gif

1UP for Blood Bros. (Thanks for the info re Cabal - I always thought that one was the name of the cheesy Amiga clone of Blood Bros. - alas! we live to learn )

3rd one is not a exactly a sub sim. 'Twas quite good for that times - more or less the reason why I wanted to own a c64. smile_o.gif

home of the two-headed squirrel if I remember rightly  biggrin_o.gif

The 3rd one isn't Hunt For Red October is it? Never played it myself, had an Acorn Electron, but my mates with C64s used to go on about how good it was.

Nope. Sorry, no playable sub in this one.

Redneck Rampage Rides Again: Arkansas, more exact.

Not to be mistaken from the expansion pack Redneck Rampage: Suckin' Grits on Route 66

Ah, Eternam. Review of PC-Version in Playtime 8/9 1992:

75% Sound, 94% Gfx, 89% Fun => 88% overall

Other reviews:

Dark Queen of Krynn (PC), Das Schwarze Auge (PC), Treasures of the Savage Frontier (PC), Another World (Amiga), The Humans (Amiga), Ugh! (C64), Batman (Gameboy), Tiny Toon (Gameboy)

Conversions: Epic (PC), Space Quest (Amiga), Monkey Island 2 (Amiga), Elvira 2 (Atari)

Previews: Inca, Plan 9

Game of the Month: Aces of the Pacific

(I second this; game of the year '92 imo!). I still have AotP on 5.25" floppies plus the Add-On WWII:1946. This reminds me of saving my old games to a CD soon (yes, I still have an old PC with 1.2MB floppy disk drive occupying precious space).

impressive,  you must have a rather big (dusty tounge_o.gif) games mag collection to gather all the info from  wow_o.gif

i think i even had that issue too, at least i remember AotP being a game i always wanted to play but couldnt because of my poor pc,

but who cares anyway..today i have lomac & il2:fb  tounge_o.gif

@fubar: no idea what that game is, looks like defender of the crown or barbarian, but i never got to see this screen  rock.gif

a new semi-hardnut:

that game was ahead of it´s time, puzzles were great and it even had some kind of "physics", just the music went psychadelic after a while biggrin_o.gif

zorro_ingame.gif

in the above scene you had to carry a glass to the lazy guy sitting righthand next to the exit. he drinks the stuff and his stomach would go fat. then you had to start jumping on him to reach the upper level, from there you just fight the guard so that he falls onto the chandelier which then opened a trap door.  

i simply loved it  smile_o.gif

edit: ^^ first computer game i ever played

They are not dusty, I built a seperate closet for them (disadvantage to live right under the roof: sloping walls need custom made furniture). My computers on the other hand are dusty, therefore I sealed my 2500XP with tape and installed filters (stripped from the cooker hood in the kitchen) in its remaining air ducts. The fans are now nearly dust-free at their vacuum edges. biggrin_o.gif

In the beginning I had to use a boot disk because AotP needed at least 610kB free base memory. Some months/years afterwards I could tune autoexec.bat/config.sys to meet this requirement without booting from an extra 5.25 floppy...

Those -- were -- the -- days, my friend,

we thought they'd never end,

we'd sing and dance forever and a day,

we'd live the life we'd choose,

we'd fight and never lose

for we were young and sure to have our way...
