Name the Game - Part 3 - Page 4

Next time I post a game I'm going to be just as vague as Krop. Apparently it gets people guessing.

Er, lessee, Dune 2?

Kropotkin · November 20, 2003, 18:54

Sorry, I thought that I post some real clues faster, but my girlfriend wanted to use her own computer, what a nerve!

And to play Starcraft out of all games, a rts! The game I'm talking about is TBS though, as it should be.

Anyhow, to the real clue; The game used the same interface as a series of other games. But, besides from all being stategy games, they had very little in common with the game I'm looking for here.

Hmmm...Sword of Aragorn?

Historyline ?

Kropotkin · November 20, 2003, 20:07

Standup got it, Historyline 1914-1918 is the correct game. The other series was the battle isle games.

Standup · November 21, 2003, 20:38

An Amiga game from 1991.

3D vector graphics and set in San Francisco.

Spaced Cowboy · November 22, 2003, 08:59

Wasn't one of the manhunter games set in SF?

Haven't heard of that series and the review i'm reading doesn't describe it as such.

Some more clues..

You're a member of the SFPD and ride/fly an XB500 hoverbike.

I remember a preview for this game. Don´t know if they changed the name though: Deadly cloud?

Standup · November 22, 2003, 11:18

Close, very close but yes the name did change.

Darn!

If only this were a "name the name the game had before it had the name is was released under" competition.

Asmodean · November 22, 2003, 15:43

HeHe...one of the first games I had for my Amiga. This game is called "The Killing Cloud"

child of Thor · November 22, 2003, 16:45

The Fatal,Nasty,Evil Cloud ?

DrSpike · November 22, 2003, 17:03

Grim Fandango?

Ljube · November 22, 2003, 18:32

Deadly cloud is a better name than killing cloud.

We have a winner

New game up in a couple of hours. I am washing clothes this morning, and I don't think my wife will take kindly to any interruptions

DrSpike · November 23, 2003, 07:45

Wow, under the thumb.

Okay...this is an oldie:

1982 - Shoot 'em up - Multi Scrolling - Commodore 64. Don't know if it was available on other platforms. Don't think so

Well i'm "doing my accounts and catching up on work. " cough cough

Kropotkin · November 23, 2003, 09:07

Can't have been that many games for the C64 back that early.... And Jupiter lander isn't exacly multi-scrolling, or shot 'em up. Now, I think there was some chopper game amoungst my oldies back then. Can't remember the name though.

CapTVK · November 23, 2003, 09:16

Chopper game?

I remember a game were you had to fly your chopper into an underground base, pick up people, dodge lasers and missile tanks and constantly keep an eye on your fuel level.

The game : Fort Acocalypse , another venerable classic.

DrSpike · November 23, 2003, 09:19

Is it Fort Apocalypse?

Hey! I got that one!

Apart from a small typo...

DrSpike · November 23, 2003, 09:28

I'm sorry, we have to accept your first answer.

Kropotkin · November 23, 2003, 11:41

If that in fact was the game in question. Iirc, it had a lot of clones.... There was one really good version in arcades but that was years after 1982.

There was an Arcade version of Fort Apocalypse?

Asmodean · November 23, 2003, 16:30

The game in question is indeed Fort Apocalypse.

I'll leave it to you guys to sort out if CapTVK or Spikey is the winner.

Damn it

Why was this one so easy

Asmodean

DrSpike · November 23, 2003, 17:48

Hehe I was only pulling his leg.........Cap is obviously the winner. I've never even heard of the game.
