The Screenshot Game - Console Edition

[shunoshi]

So, after perusing The Screenshot Game thread (http://www.colonyofgamers.com/cogforums/showthread.php?t=1715) in the PC forum and discovering I have next to no knowledge of retro PC gaming, I've decided to create the "Console Edition" of The Screenshot Game. Same rules as Dukefrukem laid out, but with console games instead of PC games.

-----------===Rules===-----------

1. Please only guess if you think you actually know the game.
2. Guess inside the thread
3. Comments are encouraged.
4. When posting a SS, try to remember to change the name of the file so people can't cheat.
5. You can only edit your post in the time it takes for the "edit reason" to not appear at the bottom. (30 seconds)
6. Someone else may post a SS if there has not been a post 12 hours after someone has won.
7. Must post full title of the game. Max Payne is not acceptable for Max Payne 2.
8. If no one has guessed the title of the game in 12 hours, an additional screenshot can be posted as a hint.
9. Have Fun!!

[shunoshi]

I'll start it off!

Yessir! Loved that game. :D

[biosc1]

Ooooooo....I really do enjoy these threads.

[Mastergeo7]

An easy one to start!

[shunoshi]

Crap, figures I wouldn't know the first one posted after mine. :o

[Stoke]

Combat School

[shunoshi]

Combat School

Google tells me you're correct! I've never even heard of that game.

[Stoke]

Google tells me you're correct! I've never even heard of that game.

So do I post a screenie now or wait till Mastergeo7 confirms?

[biosc1]

Google tells me you're correct! I've never even heard of that game.

Not sure how well that qualifies as a console game though...

Released on "Arcade, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, Sinclair ZX Spectrum"

More of a pc game...

I think we can let it go, in that era of gaming the systems where so close to being either a pc or a console.

Well, we got XBLA and PSN filled with arcade games, so grey area don't judge me :p

Yes! Combat School by Konami! Pretty great game

[biosc1]

I'm just bitter, just ignore me :p

[shunoshi]

Go, Stoke, go! :D

[Stoke]

Alright, pretty easy one I think, but of course I've played the game.

Actually wasn't too horrible a game. I still remember playing that...had an interesting pseudo-3d look.

[Stoke]

Cool Spot! Gotta love corporate cash in games.

Well poo. I had 4 whole minutes of time in the spotlight. That's right.

And for the record I thought it was awesome when i was younger. 7up was the bomb.

Cool Spot and McKids were, surprisingly, good games. Spot was so good he even made it onto Captain N.

I love corporate cash in games:D
It's Pesterminator: The Western Exterminator.

When I was a kid we used to drive past a Western Exterminator sign all the time. It was memorable, since it basically had a sculpture of their mascot on top. I couldn't remember the name, but knowing it was an extermination company was enough to do a Google search for Exterminator NES. :)

That's great Ondo, now where's our new screenshot? :D

Gargoyle's Quest.

[biosc1]

Ghoul's N' Ghosts

or

Ghost's and Goblins...can never tell what it's properly called...

[Mastergeo7]

Gargoyle's Quest.

Indeed, your turn

Mary's Quest?

Honestly, I have no idea. :p

[Stoke]

I've scoured google with every combination of words I could get off of that image (That's legal eh?) and this is my conclusion: I don't think that's a real game, admit it, you made that in photoshop didn't you? :p

[biosc1]

Really does look like an old Apogee game...

[violent]

I played it and I loved it. It's not even an obscure console. It was on the Sega Master System. You guys give me 3 give ups and I'll answer.

[Orca]

there is a link between earthworm jim & cool spot, i just can't remember it exactly.

That would be David Perry.

[boratika]

Quartet.

I didn't remember the game at first, but my skills of identifying 8 bit systems by their palettes and some googling for mary turned it up.

But having looked at some more screens, I totally remember that game and loving it back in the day.

[boratika]

Gargoyle's Quest.

Indeed, your turn

NO! NO! NO!














It's Gargoyle's Quest 2. The first one was for the Game Boy. :p

[boratika]

I've got one:

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f66/boratika/oooohhhmystery.jpg

No text layer. Wouldn't want you to google the names. (it wouldn't look quite like that in-game, but it still has the crucial features to recognise it.)

[MagGnome]

Is that one of the Phantasy Star games? I couldn't tell you which one if it is. :p

[Aggort]

I was thinking the same thing. I know it's not Shining in the Darkness. But didn't Phantasy Star feature behind the back view of fighting... Coloring makes me think it's from SNES

[violent]

Boratika got it. Quartet.

[boratika]

It's been more than 12 hours, so I'll end it. It's Bahamut Lagoon for the SNES.

[MagGnome]

Never heard of it. Next! :p

[Stoke]

It's been more than 12 hours, so I'll end it. It's Bahamut Lagoon for the SNES.

Damn, I thought it looked like a Square game but when I went through the catalog I only checked the ones released in NA. Figures I'd miss it.

[Ink Asylum]

Well, since no one won that round I guess I'll jump in:

http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii286/inkasylum/screenshot4.gif

[biosc1]

Ooo...is that a Sega Master System game?

[violent]

Holy crap I haven't thought of that game in decades! Aztec Adventure!

[Ink Asylum]

Holy crap I haven't thought of that game in decades! Aztec Adventure!

Yes! :D I absolutely loved that game. Hard as hell, and I have yet to beat it to this day. You could bribe some enemies by throwing money at them to make them fight for you. It was indeed on the Sega Master System.

[violent]

[violent]

Damn that was fast.

[boratika]

Oops, there. I was editing in more comments and then for some strange neurological twitch of a reason selected delete.

The game is Teddy Boy for the Master System. The thing I remember most about it is that is uses uses some sprites from Alex Kidd in Miracle World and that if you stand in one spot long enough the ground under you disappears.

[boratika]

My last one was a bit too obscure, so here's one people should know:

Well, apparently not enough people here play SNES games in niche genres where the english version is a fan-translation. :D

Deathtrap Dungeon

So what's up with that baby game? I remember a game where you would help a baby avoid obstacles with a zapper, but futher research show that it doesn't match the style. Anyone?

BUMP!

I have no clue what this game is.... :(

[boratika]

It's Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa for the NES I thought people might know it because it got a Virtual Console release a couple months back and then got lots of glowing reviews.

Anywise, here's one people should know:

Willy Beamish it is. I tried to make it something I've played before but also something obscure. Turns out I don't play many obscure games.

Just to go back a hair... I fkin LOOOOVED Rock N' Roll racing! LOVED IT!!!!

The sad thing is that I know I played that game. I just can't place it. That art is so familiar.

[biosc1]

Definitely Dragon Warrior NES era...with English localization...

[DiBiddilyBop]

I'd have to guess Dragon Warrior 4 since I played 1-3 and it doesn't look familiar, except for the text.

[biosc1]

Crystalis?

[Karmakin]

Too hard :( I was hoping someone would get it.

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h96/Karmakin/lotgl.png

If nobody gets it in the next 4 hours I'll put up a different one.

[Karmakin]

Ok I'll call it, it's Legend of the Ghost Lion. Sorry about that. Didn't know it would be THAT obscure.

Here's another one, another RPG. Not nearly as obscure, but some people may not know it.

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h96/Karmakin/images.jpg

[Alkanos]

I can barely see that, but I'm gonna guess Magic of Scheherazade. Just cause it looks kind of like it and I loved that game as a kid. :D

Yah, I remember that game...I loved it too, but for some reason forgot about it until you mentioned it. I can even recall some of the monsters :)

Edit: Yah, that's the game.

[Karmakin]

Yup that's it. One of my favorite games growing up. Culture Brain FTW.

[Alkanos]

Holy crap, really? I could barely see it, so I mostly guessed. :p

Anyway, here's another one I enjoyed as a kid. It shouldn't be too hard.

10 minutes well wasted, though, because I found a ton of games I missed out on :)

So one I know plenty of CoGers know (and love) so I don't break the thread again:

Yes, the filename gives away that it's a NES game, but so does the palette.

[DiBiddilyBop]

When you were a kid, did you ever ask for one game but get a different one with a similar title? That happened to me with this one. Not a terrible game, but definitely not as good as the one I asked for.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v683/gmecca/stupidgame.jpg

Looks like a Dragon Ball game...

[Karmakin]

I believe it originally was, but I forget what the US name of the game is.

Note to self: If I'm gonna post a pic for one of these, I really should check back and post hints if no one answers. :o Sorry bout that folks!

Nah... was made by Data Age according to the Intertubes. But that star field looks like the one that a lot of Imagic gmaes used... wonder if this one snatched some of the code from them. Hmmmm!

Sorry for the small size, for some reason the hosting places I find keep on making it this small.

Gemfire???

I'm gonna jump in and tell you that you are correct. I wasted many days playing that game on Genesis.

[Karmakin]

Gemfire???

Very much correct.

Looks like NES Mario game with more color :)

Hint: Utter garbage.

[Ink Asylum]

Hint: Utter garbage.

That's a hint? That describes about 80% of console games.

[DiBiddilyBop]

I think that's Drakkhen. And yes, it was utter garbage.

[Tayaya]

I think that's Drakken. And yes, it was utter garbage.

Correct, and glad you agree!

[LongStepMantis]

I think that's Drakkhen. And yes, it was utter garbage.

Agreed. I enjoyed the hell out of the indirect sequel though.

[Karmakin]

I actually rather enjoyed Drakkhen. It had its problems, but I found it fun enough to finish.

Next up. Don't think this should be too tough.

Edit: Ok yeah, Eternal Champions.

[DiBiddilyBop]

Indeed it is. Rock Bandit FTW! You're up.

C'mon Rock Bandit! Let's keep the game rolling!

Yep, Deja Vu. Sorry, had an unexpected call. =P

A cutscene? Really? How dastardly!

[LongStepMantis]

That's tough...I want to say Dragon's Lair...maybe another cinematic game like Braindead 13.

[axion]

Dragon's Lair?
Damn you!
Dragon's Lair II?

[violent]

That's tough...I want to say Dragon's Lair...maybe another cinematic game like Braindead 13.

It is Braindead 13.

[LongStepMantis]

It is Braindead 13.

Wow. What a shot in the dark. You broke out the big-but-obscure guns on that one.

So I will follow suit.

http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd315/longstepmantis/mystery2-1.gif

This one is pretty damn obscure, I'm the only gamer I know, personally, to have even heard of it.

Hint: Part of the title is in this screen. Figured I was being overly harsh with this pick.

[LongStepMantis]

Since my pick is virtually unknown and there has been no nibbles at all, should I just reveal the answer and let someone else go? I won't be able to check back for a few hours.

That, and I'd like there to be more entries while I'm away. :D

I'll try one - this may not be remotely fair, though. It's of more recent vintage than most, though.

Well I know this (http://www.flickr.com/photos/gravitystorm/117554999/), so uh, maybe something set in London...?

Anyway, it's a nice nod to Banksy who is awesome.

It's not set in London; the developers are British, though.

The new Banjo-Kazooie?

A bit of googling suggests I guessed correctly.

So then I guess this is in order:

I believe you're correct on that one. I used to play it multiplayer with a friend. It was one of the first great "versus" experiences that I can remember.

[Tayaya]

This one's so easy it's a gimmie, but I don't care... this game was for some reason a lot more entertaining than it should have been.

Oh man, I love the hell out of The Haunting, starring Polterguy. Why has no one used this idea since then? There's something magical about possessing a toilet and making it throw shit everywhere.

[LongStepMantis]

I've decided to not pick any more titles no one would know, in an effort to be less of a douche. ;)

Edit: Great, in attempting to do so, I posted a broken link for the image.
