[General Discussion] Guess the Videogame Thread

Nightmare in the Dark (another equally awesome game!)

Alright, here's mine.


This should be easy.

Yes, an old favorite of mine.

Aerial Assault.

Yeah, the screen res had me thinking that it must be the GG version.

Ok, here's my next.

Elixir's got it again. Arx Fatalis it is. Though I didn't expect it to be so much of a stumper, as the game isn't even remotely obscure. I would have hinted that the game was a spiritual successor to Ultima Underworld, and that would have surely given it away.

I thought it was Battle Bakraid, but apparently not.

Ganbare Daiku no Gensan (Hammerin' Harry's sequel).

The scores should read like so: (Qwarky has 2)

Elixir: 5
Draconis: 3
Qwarky: 2

Ok, try this.

Correct! (Well, that was fast.)

Tenchu: Stealth Assassins?

Akuji: The Heartless?

And there's some sort of trend in my picks if anyone hasn't noticed by now.

Ok, tons o' screenshots.






And this is a fan translation btw.

Exactly. It's also known as Getsufuu Maden (or Getsu Fuuma Den according to wiki). Pretty neat game that I'd heartily recommend. Plus the music's great.

Umihara Kawase! Yep, neat game with a great physics system and walking fish. =D Beautiful soundtrack, too.

And I'll pass my turn to someone else.

Gain Ground.

Actually, I'm tied with Elixir.

Ok, a seemingly easy one.

Yes, but no. Look closer.

Spear of Destiny it is. Yeah, Wolfenstein 3D didn't have those green ammo crates. Welcome to the scoreboard.

lol, now this is being ridiculous. Nothing quite distinguishable about it, I can't even tell if it's an actual ingame screen or some cgi intro movie.

That being said, my best guess would be something like Homeworld.


Oh and thanks, Solis, for the Heart of the Alien iso.

Oh yeah, Septerra Core? I haven't played that, but it looks like fun.

Not really. I mean, who doesn't know Fritz? =p

Great. I'll need to get that game sometime.

Alright, I don't have a screenshot ready at the moment (and I really should be leaving), you can go ahead and post another. Unless you want to pass as well.

Fire Striker, some fantasy Arkanoid-like game.

Ok, I'll go ahead and keep things moving.

Spoiler:

And lol @ virtual arm simulator, aka Trespasser.

This shouldn't be obscure in the slightest.
