[Graham Humphrey]

It's still 5h00n4y's go from last month: the current pic is here (http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=516638&postcount=314).

[s2325]

hello?

[lilalurl]

No guess, but let's try to solve this.

Games with mini-games I could think of:

- Pong in Alien Breed: probably not
- Dux (or whatever the name) in Lotus II. I don't know the original but I don't hink so.
- Various mini-games in Wiz 'n' Liz. Among them, the only one I 'know' the original name is snake. A search in HOL didn't reveal much clones and none looked like the screenshot. Maybe it's one of the other mini-games.

[s2325]

Dux is in Lotus 3, not 2.

[lilalurl]

Dux is in Lotus 3, not 2.

Wrong (http://hol.abime.net/930/cheatcode) (maybe it's also in Lotus III. What does that CU amiga cheat code (http://hol.abime.net/927/cheatcode) gives? I can't try it now)

[Shoonay]

Nope, and with the hint I meant that this picture is from a seperate stand-alone game, that's not ripped from any other game (AFAIK), but in another game, this type (genre) of game is considered a sub game ;)

[TCD]

You suck Shoons :cheese *TCD kicks Shoonay to give a real hint* ;)

[Shoonay]

Almost got it TCD!

Now what would be some other word that we get to see quite often in some threads that those who use it aren't very happy with the progress? ...

The years is '88, btw ;)

[TCD]

Aaargh! ? ;)

[Shoonay]

Nope, but methinks you're on the right track now... :D

[cane]

Powerstyx?

[Shoonay]

@cane: nope, sorry

[lilalurl]

I had correctly understood your tip. I was listing those games with sub/mini-games, which easier to find, so that in the end we could find the the original/remixed into its own game sub-games.


Browsing the 1988 list, I think of Impossible Mission II, given that the original is in the 2025 version if I remember correctly.

[Shoonay]

Nope.
It is not a rip from any game, it's just that this game's genre type matches some other game's sub-game.
They don't share the same author nor graphics or even sound.

[cane]

5h00n4y this is too complicated even to follow, not to guess :nuts

[TCD]

^Wut cane said ;)
Guess Shoonay found out that he will never get enough points by guessing screenshots, so he just gains them by giving useless hints and let the days pass by... :D

[Shoonay]

Yeah, like that's something no one ever did before here, ain't it? :rolleyes

Browse the freaking '88 games like you always do and don't complain! :P

[TCD]

Joker XWord: Family Fun With Words?

[Shoonay]

Nope, the 2nd to the main key word that you'all should be paying more attention is... fruit. :D

[TCD]

But I was close, right? ;)

[Shoonay]

Maybe... ;)

[cane]

OK, random 88 guess: Crack?

[Shoonay]

Nope, but you're much closer now...

[TCD]

Craps Academy :D
Nice one Shoons ;)

[Shoonay]

:great

I knew you'll like it :D

(how do my awesome hints sound now, eh? ;))

[TCD]

Awesome hints? Where? Must have missed them :cheese Well, the sub-game genre didn't really help if you mean that ;)

Anyway, next one :

[Shoonay]

WizKid?

[TCD]

No, it's not WizKid.

[skateblind]

Graphics seem too detailed or dark, but I am gonna take a stab with Flashback.

[Graham Humphrey]

Anarchy?

[TCD]

Nope, not Anarchy either.

[Shoonay]

Prison?

[TCD]

...and not Prison.

[blade002]

Knights of the Crystallion?

[TCD]

Sorry, it's not Knights of the Crystallion :(
Okay first hint : It's has remotely something to do with a song from the Red Hot Chili Peppers ;)

[s2325]

is it octopus or tree?

[Shoonay]

Or the beard of Captain Redbeard! ARRRRRR! ;)

[TCD]

Neither octupus, tree or Captain Redbeard... hmm that aren't Amiga games right? :p
Thanks Shoons, now I have to watch a pirate movie later :D

[TCD]

Okay, two fine 'normal' hints now ;)

#1 : Year is 1988.
#2 : Only 1 disk for this game.

[cane]

Wild guess: 20000 Meilen Unter Dem Meer?

[TCD]

Sorry cane, nut nope.

[lilalurl]

Realm Of The Trolls (http://hol.abime.net/399)

[TCD]

Correct

[lilalurl]

:xmas

[Muzkat]

That Iron Man Off Road game?

[lilalurl]

Nice try but no.

[Sensi]

3D World Boxing?

[Shoonay]

LOL, looks like "Barbie's World"!

... which was never present on the Amy, so... ;)
some racing game springs in me mind...

Burning Rubber?

[TCD]

Indy Heat?

[cane]

Boston Bomb Club?

[lilalurl]

All 4 are wrong.

@5h00n4y: I had anticipated that (try to save the picture file) :cheese

[lilalurl]

Category is action.

[lilalurl]

:xmas
Vertically enlarged screenshot.

Edit: Sheer coincidence, just heard on the radio that today Barbie turns 50.

[lilalurl]

Conundrum-y hint:
You are neither there for a fight, nor a quest, nor a battle, nor a war, nor a conquest, nor a crusade, not even a job.

Edit: added quest to the list

[Shoonay]

So... that's Peggy Bundy's "do nothing" simulator? :blased

[TCD]

Mission Elevator?

[lilalurl]

So... that's Peggy Bundy's "do nothing" simulator? :blased

What? She is already in a TV series heroine and a videogame heroine. Where would she find time to cook and or clean the house? ;)


Nothing correct thus far.

[Sensi]

Godfather? :confused

[lilalurl]

Your Don is not satisfied by your answer (i.e.: no).

[lilalurl]

It is probably possible to play without (I tried), but you'd better use some 3D glasses to play the game. :spin

[Shoonay]

3D-Motorrad (http://hol.abime.net/5175)? :blased

[lilalurl]

No :evilgrin

[TCD]

3D Galax? :p

[lilalurl]

No, but (hint) you are closer to the year of release than Shoonay was.

[Shoonay]

Wanderer 3D?

[TCD]

SpaceSpuds! :D

[lilalurl]

Correct TCD.

The conundrum was of course about games whose titles begin with space.

That game seems rather weird (and unplayable without the glasses).

Shoonay, you should load that game and check the content of the disk (in workbench). There are several demo for the 3D glasses, including one of a cat. The way it is rendered make the cat look a bit crazy :p.

[TCD]

Next one :

[s2325]

Advanced Lawnmower Simulator?

[TCD]

Damn, that is a real game :D I wish I had found that earlier ;)
No, sorry it's not Advanced Lawnmower Simulator.

[Shoonay]

Ant Pool? :blased

@lilalurl: cool, thanks ;)

[TCD]

Ant Pool? :blased

Can you upload it to the zone? Never heard of it before... :blased

[Shoonay]

Erm... OK... What I meant... was... Kid Pool. Yes. Scrap that last one, I meant Kid Pool. Is it? No. OK... :blased

[TCD]

Is it? No. OK... :blased

Erm, no it isn't ;) And Pool isn't part of the name anyway :D

[lilalurl]

Advanced Lawnmower Simulator?
Damn, that is a real game :D
http://ut2004.titaninternet.co.uk/forums/images/smilies/icon_rofl.gif


Firezone?

[TCD]

No, it's not Firezone either ;)

[rkauer]

Tanks?

[TCD]

Welcome back rkauer :)
Sorry, but it's not Tanks.

[gimbal]

uuuuuuuh... Mean 18???

[TCD]

Sorry matey ;)
Btw : It's not a sport game :D

[gimbal]

okay then: Sim Ant?

[TCD]

No, and not related to ants either ;)

[lilalurl]

Bomber Bob?

[rkauer]

Looks like kind of vertical shooter...

[TCD]

Bomber Bob?

Nope.

Looks like kind of vertical shooter...

No shooter either ;)

[TCD]

M'Kay, a hint it will be then ;)
Number of max players is 2.

[s2325]

[TCD]

Number of disks is also 2 ;)

[CodyJarrett]

Panzer Battles.

[TCD]

Correct

[CodyJarrett]

Next:

[Sensi]

I guess BAT II.

[CodyJarrett]

No.

[s2325]

hello?

[CodyJarrett]

hello?

No, it's definitely not "hello?"!

[lilalurl]

Is it 'hint(s) please' then? :)

[Shoonay]

^ lol you guys

It's a racing game methinks, I just know I saw those guys... one guy has a bandage on his broken arm IIRC...

[lilalurl]

Red Zone (http://hol.abime.net/pic_full/screenshot/1201-1300/1215_screen25.png)

[Shoonay]

You're welcome, lilalurl... :cheese

[lilalurl]

You're welcome, lilalurl... :cheese

Want my go as a reward?

I must say though that a picture with a '1st' medal would have been very likely to be from a sports (including racing) game.

[Shoonay]

Yeah, I don't remember the winning screen, but the one pixeled the same style, with the guy in all the bandages, has been recorded in my mind after failing multiple times ;)

Go ahead, you deserve the go. :)

[lilalurl]

Btw, am I not supposed to get the answer confirmed before posting a new screenshot?

[Shoonay]

oh, yeah, perhaps you should ;)

[CodyJarrett]

lilalurl is correct!

[lilalurl]

lilalurl is correct!

Great. Now you can focus on your forthcoming entry for guess the hand-drawn screenshot http://ut2004.titaninternet.co.uk/forums/images/smilies/icon_whistle.gif ;)

[Graham Humphrey]

Venus The Flytrap?

[TCD]

Also not Venus the Flytrap, sorry.

[s2325]

is it part of sunflower?

[TCD]

Hmm, it's a bit early for a hint actually ;)
Well okay, just for you s2325 : No :D

[CodyJarrett]

I'd say that this screen falls foul of rule "5). Ridiculous shots".

It's mostly comprised of a blue background which really makes it excessively tiny.

[TCD]

Hope this is better then :

http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/4518/guess06new.png

[Shoonay]

Ugh!?

[TCD]

Yup, it's Ugh! ;)

[Shoonay]

(not only with "pipe"and "modern art")Hint: that's not a pipe, but you pretty much got the 2nd part...

[Sensi]

Arctic Baron?

[Graham Humphrey]

Devious Designs?

[Shoonay]

Arctic Baron?Had to check that one, and to my surprise it's simply an alias name for Transarctica... but it's not the game, sorry...Devious Designs?Unfortunately, not.

[blade002]
