Quite.

Stop worrying about spam, forcing me to post and tell you that.

Post and be merry, as long as you have some gaming knowledge it is deserved.

If it was unclear, I agree. I was just wondering if it was the one that got to make a new question or the one that actually got it right that was going to be listed.

Who's turn is it?

Or can I jump in with one?

Ljube · September 25, 2003, 13:29

Nobody seems to have played my game, so you might as well post another one.

Asmodean · September 25, 2003, 13:38

The game in question is "Strike Force Cobra"

Bow down for the Winner

That’s right! It is Strike Force Cobra.

/me bows down *

But I bet you can't guess the game from my EVIL clue

Are there turns? My bad I just jumped in, is there a turn list somewhere?

Until now, no. I always though that the Championship Manager series was the first footie game to include the Faroe Isles league.

Asmodean

P.S. unless of course you coded this game yourself, and released it only to friends on the Faroe Islands

Buck Birdseed · September 25, 2003, 14:34

Didn't Sensible World of Soccer have loads of obscure leagues too? I'll say SWOS then.

You are supposed to get one right before you take a turn setting. Guesses are free-for-alls.

child of Thor · September 25, 2003, 15:13

So i guess its actually Asmodean's go as he got Strike Force Cobra............

although im 99% sure Buck Birdseed got it right for Jamski's sly interuption

tut tut guys

Buck Birdseed · September 25, 2003, 16:47

Do I get to go at any point or was it meaningless for me to guess?

child of Thor · September 25, 2003, 16:55

Well as i think a cross-post situ created the small confussion, and i think that as you are asking first then yes sure go ahead as long as you got it right - Jamski?
Asmodean can maybe go after you? or whenever ADG thinks is best, as he's this fine threads creator

Jamski · September 25, 2003, 17:09

Well, it was only a short interruption, but I'm pleasantly surprised someone actually recognised the Faroe Island league teams.

Full marks for SWOS

Normal service will now resume

Not too hard for a Dane to do that

Asmodean

GhengisFarb™ · September 25, 2003, 19:16

So who all still needs to throw out games for us to guess? I'm somewhat confused on how there are multiple people waiting to throw out clues but that's normal for me.

Buck Birdseed · September 26, 2003, 02:13

Er, it's me and Asmodean. I think. Just 'cause there was some confusion on who was supposed to have made the last clue. Um. One at a time really.

Clue #1: The (excellent) conversation interface was copied pretty much straight off by Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers several years later.

child of Thor · September 26, 2003, 05:25

ummmm......The Grim Fandango?

Buck Birdseed · September 26, 2003, 07:19

I thought games after 1994 or thereabouts were outlawed.

I now see you're supposed to post the computer you played it on- it was the PC. Curiously for a game from its era, the PC version actually looks better than the Amiga version released simultaneously.

Buck Birdseed · September 26, 2003, 09:18

Is it too tricky? I could give another clue I guess... But after this I'll leave it for a while.

Clue #2: Unusually for a game of its type the characters are made up of (2D) Polygons rather than sprites. This approach would be refined by the time the company released its next game, a pioneering Action Adventure cult classic. I think that latter game is overrated myself.

child of Thor · September 26, 2003, 17:24

Keep going

Its not 'Captive' is it?
I'll admit i've never played the Gabriel Knight games so this will be my last guess in the dark.

Buck Birdseed · September 26, 2003, 19:06

Clue #3, a pictoral clue. You'll end up seing this in the game a lot:

Same here,

Based on your pictoral clue...............

Grandma's Crazy World of Patch Work Quilts!

That was a shareware game wasn't it?

Buck Birdseed · September 27, 2003, 05:22

Clue #4: Although the story expicitly sets out to be of a certain very English type, the game is actually French.

Ljube · September 27, 2003, 12:04

ADG, you missed DrSpike's Theatre Europe.

Fix!

Buck Birdseed · September 27, 2003, 13:32

Clue #5, another picture. This is the game's vaguely iconic title screen (with name appropriately boxed out). A similar image was the box art of the original French version.
