Name the game - part 4 - Page 7

Adagio · January 29, 2004, 10:42

Hint 1:
You're going on a journey, through a forrest, and through a landcape of rocks, and other places, fighting all kinds of animals... but look out for the ghosts...

Hint 2:
On your way to the mad-mans tower, you collect several things, that gives you certain advantages... How 'long' can you get it?

Hint 3:
There's many different rooms, but still all rooms looks alike, using a certain layout

Hint 4:
When playing the game, you could "catch a disease" (From many), which caused you to "keep dropping things"

Hint 5:
The "sequel" didn't have a story line as the first game had. It was mostly based on MP gaming, but not MP gaming as serious as FPS games, but more a "just for some 30 minutes fun" game

Hint 6:
Does "grid-layout" ring a bell?

duke o' york · January 29, 2004, 10:49

Ooh! Ooh! I know it!

(This doesn't seem fair, my having so many guesses, but hey)..it has to be....

James Pond

All right, it probably isn't. Damn! That extra clue threw me off the scent. I don't even know if you could play the sequel with 2 people or not. Oh well, I'll go back into my corner and rack my brains for a puzzle game.

Er, Bomberman!

[edit] Hmm: ADG doesn't seem to have seen my Bomberman guess so I'm emboldening it! And embiggening it too! [/edit]

Adagio · January 29, 2004, 10:51

Nope... I don't know where the were a grid-layout in James Pond...

Buck Birdseed · January 29, 2004, 14:17

Oh it so is bomberman. Good clues, I've played it lots and I never got it!

Adagio · January 29, 2004, 14:37

Well... bomberman is the sequel... I was looking for the original...

Buck Birdseed · January 29, 2004, 15:05

Er, bomberman was an original game as far as I know, and far predates the Amiga.

I'm assuming the game you're after is the (much younger) Dyna Blaster?

Adagio · January 29, 2004, 15:48

Yep, it's Dyna Blaster I was looking for... didn't know there were a such game before Dyne Blaster... I thought you was refering to Atomic Bomberman

GhengisFarb™ · January 29, 2004, 17:55

Next! /me never heard of any of those games.

Adagio · January 29, 2004, 18:12

Never heard about Atomic Bomberman or Dyna Blaster?

Atomic Bomberman is about the most 'interesting' short MP games ever... Each round takes about 1 minute, so it's very fast-paced...

The game is all about bombs, where you have to lay bombs in front of your enemy, hoping it'll kill them before they get away... but of course, running around the corner might get you next to another bomb, since in AB you can play up to 10 players

You should really try it out...

Buck Birdseed · January 29, 2004, 19:23

I'm not sure if the game shouldn't have gone to duke instead as I would never have got it without him.

Oh well, it's ADG's game so I guess I'll go for it anyway. Knowing duke he'll get more chances anyway.

---

Right, listen up 'cause this is a strange one.

This was one of the worst games ever released on the C64. It was nevertheless quite memorable.

GhengisFarb™ · January 29, 2004, 19:40

That could be a lot of games.

Adagio · January 30, 2004, 06:37

Yeah, there's too many games to chose from... We'll need more clues...

child of Thor · January 30, 2004, 07:03

'...................[Insert big breasted models name] Pub Darts Strip Poker' ??

just on the C64? or others as well?

duke o' york · January 30, 2004, 07:20

16 wheeler road mayhem (or whatever it was called)?

Mary-Anne and Ashley's Pony Stables Tycoon?

Buck Birdseed · January 30, 2004, 11:51

The German developers of this 1985 title never made another game as far as I know. I'm not surprised, considering the spectacularly ill-chosen subject matter, the utterly **** graphics, the wooden simplicity of the controls and not least the astounding brevity (you can finish off the game in less than five minutes). All in all you struggle to keep up your interest while playing, but it somehow sticks with you neverhteless.

duke o' york · January 30, 2004, 11:57

I have no idea why, but was it a computer version of another game?

Something like Connect 4?

Buck Birdseed · January 31, 2004, 05:01

The gameplay consists largely of repeatedly wiggling your joystick from left to right. Yet it's not a sports game.

CapTVK · January 31, 2004, 10:31

Sexgames?

Rasputin · January 31, 2004, 11:40

Note all the crap innuendo in the second clue.

GhengisFarb™ · January 31, 2004, 14:20

You know I actually remember playing that game.

Rasputin · January 31, 2004, 14:49

He shoots, he scores!!!

For those wondering, the actual 'game' was pathetic. Truly pathetic, you didn't miss a thing.

Ok, I'll pick an extra easy one for the next.

Buck Birdseed · January 31, 2004, 16:57

I wonder if I'll get banned if I post an on-line version of the game for those who desperately want to play it? I mean, the graphics are so bad the actual amount of explicit nudity is zero, although it certainly tries to depict a five-person bisexual orgy. Oh well, I guess there's only one way to find out... http://www.lemon64.com/misc/sexgames/sexgames.html

CapTVK · January 31, 2004, 19:04

Well, it is in character

This one is easy, a classic in every aspect. Early 90's, appeared on the Amiga, ST IBM-PC and many other systems later.

Recognizing the name of this game won't be stiff
It involves furry creatures falling of a cliff...
