Cody And Twistin And Amigaboy's Name That Game Quiz

[CodyJarrett]

Okay, try this one:

[Amigaboy]

um...

Turbo Trax ?
Scalextric?

[CodyJarrett]

Turbo Trax by Microdeal is correct!

[CodyJarrett]

And this one?

[Amigaboy]

Never seen that one before

[Big-Byte]

Is it Loom?

[Amigaboy]

Nah. Loom looks nicer than that :cool

[Akira]

Hey, wasnt this game MIA? giovacappo was looking for it... how did you get the screeny?

[Drake1009]

Yeah I'd like to know how I could get an ADF copy of turbo trax, my original refuses to play on my A1200 and I can't ADF it.

[CodyJarrett]

The screenshot is from an original of Turbo Trax. It's still MIA, but not so urgent. We have a screenshot for the database, but an ADF would be nice.

[CodyJarrett]

Here's the second game above. Grimblood by Mike Singleton.

[Amigaboy]

ok. Here's my little contribution. C64 people should know it well. I have no idea if it was a big game on the Amiga

This is pretty easy :D

[CodyJarrett]

Cabal!

[Amigaboy]

Yup :D

[CodyJarrett]

Try this one!

[Tim Janssen]

Samurai,
I saw an advert of Grimblood once in Zzap! magazine.
The game appeared in 1990 under Mastertronic's 16 Blitz budget label on Amiga and Atari ST.
I had it once until the disc it was on went corrupt. Grimblood is a 'who-has-done-it'/Cluedo type of game with different outcomes everytime you play the game.

Cody,
Is it Crazy Seasons?

[CodyJarrett]

I'm not sure when Grimblood was released - probably 1988-89 or something like that.

Mad Seasons is getting close!

[Amigaboy]

Grimblood and Crazy Seasons are at The Dreamzone

Turbo Trax has not been ADFed yet, and is on a multitude of request lists

I have it though (original). It has an orange box :)

[Kodoichi]

*cough*

More like a nightmare zone =/

[CodyJarrett]

I've put Grimblood and Crazy Seasons in The Zone.

[Twistin'Ghost]

Grimblood was released in 1990.

\\UPDATE
I forgot to mention that the programmer for Grimblood (Mike Singleton) went on to work on the games Lord of Chaos, Midwinter 1 & 2, Ashes of Empire, and Starlord. For you fact fans...

[Warlock99]

Didn't know the great Mike Singleton had an hand in Starlord twisty! Shame on him! It seemed a bit of a mess on the amiga version, not sure if the pc version was any better.

[CodyJarrett]

Here is Name That Game 4

[CodyJarrett]

And number 5

[CodyJarrett]

Finally, number 6

[Tim Janssen]

I know number four. I have number four in my possesion. This is a stinking horizontal scrolling platform game by Dinamic in 1993 and is written by people with Dutch names. It starts in a forest with too many brown colors, then a castle and ends somewhere on the Northpole. The Game-over screen is beautiful drawn and bounces its way all over the screen but it has nothing to do with the actual game. I have made it only to level 2 because the sprites and traps are corrupt in this level. The only problem is... I don't know the name of this game anymore! It is called... Turi's Revenge! No, Sword quest.. errr.. I don't know it! Aaargh! :scream

[Tim Janssen]

Since no-one else is participating in this funny gamesquiz I'll do another guess. I think number 6 is taken from Denton Design's Wreckers. Do I win a prize?

[Walker]

Correct!

You win a color radio!

[CodyJarrett]

Hey, stop giving away my prizes! Yeah, Wreckers is correct for 6...

[CodyJarrett]

Nope!

[oldpx]

Can number 5 be Perihelion? It probably is not, that doesn't fit your tastes does it? The gameplay was not good etc.

[MethodGit]

I recognise that Number 4 game from somewhere!!! ;) I haven't played it, but I remember reading (short) reviews on it in several Amiga magazines!

Dammit, where's my AP48??!!! It had a mini-review on it and it should have the title... I gotta try and find it...

[andreas]

Well ............. Number 5 is VERY tough.
Well it looks like it's some sort of adventure ... maybe Cruise for a Corpse? The story takes place on board a ship which is obviously made of wood ;)

[MethodGit]

I refuse to believe that the Number 5 game is even an Amiga game. The graphics look like something for another machine!

Is this a trick question, Cody? ;)

[oldpx]

Can number 5 be from Elvira the arcade game? or some gfx from beast series? Maybe Lure of the Temptress.

I don't believe any of these. It looks quite different, like part of a box scan :p

[CodyJarrett]

Number 5 is from an Amiga game, but is part of the titlescreen...

It's a well-known game.

[Walker]

First letter of game #5 is "A".

[powered by the coming soonish Amiga games database]

[Tim Janssen]

Sjeez, the Cody & Walker quiz goes on and on.
Here is my guess.. First I thought Number 5 was taken from an overhead racing game like ATR but now I think it is from Ambermoon

B.T.W. where is my color-radio?

[CodyJarrett]

Nope!

[CodyJarrett]

Okay - number 4 was Rackney's Island. Number 5 was Alien Breed 3D (the titlescreen).

Here is number 7:

[CodyJarrett]

Number 8:

[CodyJarrett]

Number 9:

[Tim Janssen]

Number 4 was Rackney's Island? The name of the game was on the tip of my tongue.

Okay, let's guess the names of the new games:
Nr 7: Benefactor?
Nr 8: Space Quest 2?
Nr 9: Streetfighter 1?

[CodyJarrett]

No, no and no!

[CodyJarrett]

No. 7 is a hippopotamus (I think).

No. 9 is from a commercial game.

[Akira]

No. 7 is Mikro Mortal tennis, methinks...

[Linford]

Is numer 9 Karate Kid 2? :D

[CodyJarrett]

Yes, number 7 is Mikro Mortal Tennis and no, number 9 isn't the Karate Kid 2!

[CodyJarrett]

It returns! Name this game (number 10)...

[oldpx]

Space Hulk?

[CodyJarrett]

And this:

[CodyJarrett]

And finally this:

[CodyJarrett]

Nope, not Space Hulk.

[oldpx]

The last one looks like napalm.

[CodyJarrett]

Yeah, 12 is Napalm!

[Amigaboy]

Let's make this interesting, shall we?

If anyone can name where the following screen is taken, I will provide ONE of the following:

MFM Warp images of Humans 2
MFM Warp image of Turbo Trax (Microdeal)
ADF image of Granny's Garden (Amiga version of course)

The catch....

You only get 1 guess for each person. I will not say who is right until the end. If multiple people get it, the first person to guess right will get to choose which he / she wants.

The competition ends Monday, 22 April 2002 at 8:30pm (Sydney, Australia time)

[Twistin'Ghost]

No fair! What if someone doesn't pick "Granny's Garden"? :laughing

[Twistin'Ghost]

I reckon my one guess for the Amigaboy contest will be Fury of the Furries.

[CodyJarrett]

No, 10 isn't Battleships, but the gun barrels idea is close.

[Ian]

Is it Moonshine Racers?

[CodyJarrett]

Correctamundo! 11 is Moonshine Racers...

[oldpx]

I can't guess your screenshot amigaboy but it looks like a coke can lying on the asphalt floor probably near a roadsign or something. It must be a beat-em up. It would be better if the image was a gif file

[Linf]

Number 10 reminds me a bit of Death Mask.

[Ian]

That sounds like Metro-Cross too me, did that ever get released for the Amiga??

If it did, that's my guess Amigaboy.

[Drake1009]

Well even though I'm probably wrong it would be a waste to not guess at random. I'm guessing that the small area Amigaboy posted was from final fight.

[Dastardly]

Ok, just a guess but, I think Amigaboys pic is from Skidz.

[oldpx]

You know Drake, I was thinking about Final Fight but changed my mind because this iimage looks more amiga-generated. AFAIK final fight's graphics were converted from the arcade version.

This image made me remember a beat'em up that I saw the screenshot of, in a local game magazine a few years ago. I just searched and found that issue. It says the name of the game is Surfing Ninja and there are actualy a few screenshots but I haven't seen this game anywhere. So I claim Amigaboy's screenshot is from "Surfing Ninja" (if such a game exists!)

[CodyJarrett]

Linf - Death Mask is wrong, but close.

[oldpx]

Close? Then it must be Doom!

[Linf]

Hmmmm.... I'll try once more, Fears? ;)

[CodyJarrett]

If you guys go through all the first-person shoot-'em-ups then you might eventually get it right! :0

[oldpx]

Gloom?

"first-person shoot-'em-ups" ---> I loved this term ;)

[th4t1guy]

could no. 5 be Alien Breed?

[blackcornflake]

Quizmaster Cody - is No10 Alien Breed 3D?

[Drake1009]

Well Burseg. I know it was probably wrong, but at least that's one less beat em up guessed wrong right? For all I know it could be Ninja gaiden. Bad dudes / Dragon ninja or some semi static beat em up. But since I have no idea what it is I guessed final fight, mostly because I like that game even though I still haven't been able to get my Amiga to run it.

[CodyJarrett]

th4t1guy - yes, number 5 is Alien Breed. The titlescreen from Alien Breed 3D, to be exact.

blackcornflake - no, number 10 isn't Alien Breed 3D! Let's see, we have Death Mask, Fears, Doom, Gloom and Alien Breed 3D - not many more first person shoot-'em-ups to try! ;)

[RetroMan]

Quake ? :D

[CodyJarrett]

The RetroMan shoots and he scores!

[Bloodwych]

No. 10 Breathless?????? :confused

EDIT - Damn Burseg has been goal poaching again :(

The game you are thinking of would be Surf Ninjas...

[oldpx]

That's it! Thanks Twist :great

edit: I don't seem to have it. Could you upload it?

[Drake1009]

Upping my version now.

Edit : ok note to self. When upload limit is 3 MB don't try to upload 8. I'll split it up. HD version. I really should check my zips before I upload.

[Ian]

DOH!! :D

[oldpx]

:laughing Thanks Drake

[Amigaboy]

Well. Here we are ladies, gents and the rest of you :D

The answer to the pic is....

Neuromancer

I know it was almost impossible to guess Neuromancer from a tiny can...There's no need to tell me ;)

It's next to the lawbot in case you don't see it

I loved Ian's answer though. It DOES look like something from MetroCross :cool

[Ian]

Damn, so no-one wins:eek

Ah-well, I guess grannies garden will never surface now, but I can't decide if that's good or bad;)

[vivash]

I don't think the graphics artist on the game would have got that one AmigaBoy... :spin

[Excelle]

This thread should definately not be dead!

Hence I shall bring it back to life with my patented thread defib device...

[blackcornflake]

Pfft! Easy! :p

Mean Arenas, ICE. Am I right? :)

I have Turbo Trax, do you want it?

[Twistin'Ghost]

If you have the version released by Microdeal in 1988, then yes. If it's the Arcane version, then it's easily downloadable from various web sites.

[alkis21]

I'm guessing it's the latter as it felt much more recent than 1988.. I'll check though.

[Drake1009]

If it looks like those scalactrix slot car racing games then it'd be the Microdeal one.

[Excelle]

Well done blackcornflake!

Gimme a bit to find a harder one ;)

[alkis21]

I'm afraid it was the Arcane version. Sorry to get your hopes up for nothing guys. :(

[Drake1009]

Well I've got the original so it isn't that much of a bother to me. Just haven't hooked up my A500 to the TV since the computer's MPEG out is taking up the connection.

And I believe cody posted a game which was essentially the same.

[LaundroMat]

Not sure, is #5 the german RPG 'Das schwarze Auge'?

Is that a remake of the pen-and-paper RPG? I can't see it in the HOL.. Was there ever an English version?

Update: Oh, I see Realms Of Arkania: Blade Of Destiny is the UK version. Hunting for it now. Ooh, the memories of playing "Het Oog des Meesters" (Dutch version of the RPG)!

Update2: I didn't find a lot on the net... Would anyone care to lob the UK version in the zone? (It's apparently also known as Blade Of Destiny: Realms Of Arkania) Ta!
