[Graham Humphrey]

It's currently lilalurl's go from the previous thread, his pic is here (http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=543952&postcount=309).

[lilalurl]

The game can be found under the Shoot-'em-up (All) category.

[Graham Humphrey]

Just the 947 to choose from then ;)

No idea where to start with this one but I'm crap at this...

[lilalurl]

Just the 947 to choose from then ;)

No idea where to start with this one but I'm crap at this...

Well, that's just the first hint, you didn't expect I'd give the full name of the game as hint, did you? ;) And it's 947 out of 6219!!!

But if that is the way my hint is welcomed :(, next time I'll give something such as it is not a well known PD game (great! now the list is down to all the commercial games) or the game is ECS (probably 90% of the games). :evilgrin

[Rabbit80]

The answer - Campo Di Fuoco

[lilalurl]

Rabbit80 is correct.

[Graham Humphrey]

All OT deleted, can we stay on-topic please guys rather than picking holes for seemingly no reason, thanks.

[Rabbit80]

Somebody else can post a screenshot instead of me... I'm a little busy at the moment!

Hehe, ambiguous answer since there are two games titled Locomotion.
Correct answer is Locomotion (Kingsoft) and I should get the point.

[TheCyberDruid]

Aw man, I should have known that one. Played the game to death :(

I almost thought so and also expected Shoonay to know it. Well guess it's one of these screens that you don't expect in such a game ;)

Come on Graham... :D

[Shoonay]

Ah, shucks... I knew I saw that one somewhere in my favorite game of all time... :crying

Alien Breed? are you sure?

[blade002]

[TheCyberDruid]

Steg the Slug?

[killergorilla]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no (however many there were).

Another clue: The name of the game is made up of 2 words.

[gimbal]

still no clue at all, so yet again a random guess:

Dojo Dan?

[Shoonay]

Yo Joe?

[rkauer]

Alien Breed? are you sure?

Looks like AB "1" or Tower Assault...:nervous

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2130/2279899772_ee44cababf_t.jpg

[TheCyberDruid]

The bloody banana trick doesn't work anymore, but usually he wakes up around 10 o'clock ;)

Oh and my random guess : Liquid Kids?

[Graham Humphrey]

Tearaway Thomas?

[s2325]

bigger screenshot please

[Graham Humphrey]

Come on KG, the suspense is killing me ;)

[killergorilla]

Tearaway Thomas?

Clue 1: It's Tearaway Thomas.
Clue 2: Graham got it.

[Graham Humphrey]

That narrows it down a tad ;)

Next one...

[TheCyberDruid]

Chambers of Shaolin?

[Graham Humphrey]

No.

[rkauer]

Mortal Kombat

[Graham Humphrey]

Again no. But you're on the right lines.

[TheCyberDruid]

Fightin' Spirit?

[viddi]

Brutal: Paws Of Fury?

[s2325]

Metal Kombat?

[Muzkat]

Budokan?

[Graham Humphrey]

All wrong I'm afraid.

[skateblind]

Pit Fighter?

[DDNI]

king of karate?

[Dastardly]

Dragon Ninja?

[Graham Humphrey]

All wrong again.

It is fairly obviously a beat-em-up, and it has no WHD install.

[TheCyberDruid]

Cobra ;)

[Graham Humphrey]

Correct!

[TheCyberDruid]

Yay!
I think this one is pretty nasty ;)

[Marcuz]

Where is in the World Carmen San Diego?

[TheCyberDruid]

Nope

[s2325]

is it CDTV game?

[TheCyberDruid]

Not CDTV, but you think the right way.

[Sensi]

laser quiz 2

[TheCyberDruid]

It's not Laser Quiz 2...

[Sensi]

did i say laser quiz 2? why?

[TheCyberDruid]

did i say laser quiz 2? why?

You ask me? Well I guess too much avatar changes aren't good for you :p

[Sensi]

Its 21.08, 60 mins from my last guess, its Laser Quiz.

[Graham Humphrey]

59 minutes actually but I think we can let it quietly slide ;)

[TheCyberDruid]

Sensi got it ;)
And really fast for such an odd game :great

[Sensi]

59 minutes actually but I think we can let it quietly slide

Thanks :)
Sensi got it
And really fast for such an odd game

We odd people with odd avatars know all odd games :D

Give me some time, I have to find someting difficult :D

[Sensi]

Lets start.

Clue: its an Amiga game and its in English.

edit-lets move little, its OCS/ECS game, kiss kiss

[Sensi]

Its got HD install.

[Shoonay]

Shanghai?

[Sensi]

Shanghai?

Shanghai has no (http://hol.abime.net/1900) hd install.

[TheCyberDruid]

Voyages of Discovery?

[Sensi]

Voyages of Discovery?

It has hd install. Its in english. Its an Amiga game. Its ECS/OCS. But its not Voyages of Discovery. Sorry.

[Shoonay]

Penthouse Hot Numberz? :D

[Sensi]

Hmmm, nice girls there on the screenshots on HOL but ... no, no girls in my screenshot. No Penthouse. No numbers. No hot. You are wrong.

Hint - the screen that my screenshot was taken from has something to do with chess. And Godfather, the movie. Screen, not the game.

[Marcuz]

Caesar?

[Sensi]

No, no :)

I was thinking about letting you guys searching on HOL till someone asks if the screenshot was taken there but I have heart. Dont use HOL for checking screenshots, its not there :) It was taken from the game.

But Marco is pretty close with that hint that helps (maybe) you little bit.

[Shoonay]

Katie's Farm?

[Marcuz]

Alien Drug Lords From Space?

[Sensi]

No and no.

First name: Godfather movie.
Surname: Chess (in both ways).

[Shoonay]

Son Shu-Shi?

[Sensi]

Son Shu-Shi?

What? :confused:D No in all ways.

First name: Don
Surname: Chess related
The name has something to do with the game (just use google when the hint will be completed).

[DDNI]

Miami chase?

[Sensi]

Not at all, Miami Chase is wrong.

No WHD install.

Pawns, Queen, black, Knights, Bishops, King, Rook, board, white, check, mate, squares.
And Don.
The hint is the key.

[Shoonay]

BattleChess?

[Sensi]

No.

Don + some of those words (black, bishop etc)

[CodyJarrett]

TV Sports Boxing

[Sensi]

I think its ABC Wide World of Sports Boxing but they are almost identical.

You are right Cody :)

BTW-I think there is a wrong info about number of max players on HOL, up to ten or eleven players can play it in career mode.

Explanation of hint: Don McQueen is on the pic, in real world known as Don King.

[CodyJarrett]

Thanks, I'll take a look at it. I've got a load of TV Sports Boxing screens to upload to the HOL too - once I complete the game.

Next:

[skateblind]

Powerdrome?

[Muzkat]

Disposable Hero?

[Marcuz]

Some Obscure Game With 2x2 Pixels Ships (TM)?

[CodyJarrett]

Powerdrome is close.

[CodyJarrett]

The title includes one of the things in the screenshot.

[skateblind]

Star Crusader?

[CodyJarrett]

No.

[StrategyGamer]

Poweroids?

[DDNI]

tunnels of armageddon

[CodyJarrett]

tunnels of armageddon

Correct

[TheCyberDruid]

Yay! More bricks then... :p

[DDNI]

he he , I might try planks this time ;)

[lilalurl]

It has now been more than 24 hours since Cody confirmed the answer 'tunnels of armageddon' was correct.

Therefore, according to rule 10:


10). If a new game isn't posted within 24 hrs of getting the answer confirmed correct then the player forfeits their go and the previous player chooses who is next.


DDNI has just forfeited his go and Cody must nominate a new person to post a screenshot to guess.


Sorry DDNI, but I am sure Shoonay, TCD and al. will have a better week/month/whatever time it would have taken to guess your screenshot this way ;).


Additionally, since DDNI has just proven to be unreliable and breaking the game flow, I think he should be banned from this competition and his points given to me :cheese.

[DDNI]

eh I posted an image yesterday!!? where did it go??

[Shoonay]

lol@both of you :p

now post some screenie, someone, finally!

[DDNI]

ok here it is ;)

[Shoonay]

Amazing Spiderman's sperm? :blased

[s2325]

Could you post something more than badly drawen bullet holes (?)

[TheCyberDruid]

I've seen this... It's a shoot 'em up right?

[Marcuz]

me too i've seen it... but after reading Shoonay post, now i'm sure he's right! :lol
