Walker's "Screens of Death" quiz

[Walker]

Most games just throw a "Game Over" text in your face, making it even harder to face that your game character is no more. As if some games aren't hard enough, huh?
Well, fortunately some game developers gave half an hour of their valuable time to a nice game over screen. Let's see if you remember them! Some are quite easy, some are as hard as... as.... whatever.

Oh yeah, since all images are taken from the HOL archive, members of the HOL team are forbidden to take part in this quiz.
Yes, that includes you too Cody! Stop whining, Twist!

OK, here's #1:

[Walker]

And here's #2:

[Walker]

#3:

[Tim Janssen]

Hmm, let me guess:
1: Shadow of the Beast 3
2: Abandoned Places 2
3: Ishar 1

[Walker]

Correct! Very impressive!

I'll have to dig up some more....

[7-Zark-7]

Abandoned Places 2. I remembr playing the the demo version to death off The One's coverdisk years ago. That death scene guitar solo was brilliant!

[Walker]

OK, here's #4:

[Walker]

Yup, #4 is Maya.

What about this one; #5:

[Tim Janssen]

About guessing the correct titles: Since I am not that good in playing games, I know tons of ‘Game-Over’-screens. :laugh

About picture number 5: I really don’t have a clue from which game it is taken. I guess some French title like Coktel Vision’s Ween?

[Walker]

Nope, #5 is not a French game. Two hints:

1. It's an action game
2. 1988

[Walker]

Too tough for you, eh? OK, here's the last hint for #5:

The title has four characters, and two of them are the same.

[Walker]

Here's a new set of screens, taken from the deepest dungeons of the HOL treasury:

#6

[Walker]

#7

[Walker]

#8

[Walker]

#9

[jmmijo]

These are all great screenys Walker, however I don't even want to go into what I think about #7 :eek

[Walker]

I told you, these screens are stored in the DEEPEST dungeons. That's where we keep the ugly, dirty, horrible ones. Oh yeah, Twistin Ghost lives there too.

[jmmijo]

Ah, Twistin', this explains my whole reason for existing then :D

I'd say Twistin' is ready to become a Morlock or a CHUD and become some nasty beasty with sharp pointy teeeeeth :laugh

[Tim Janssen]

I only know #7: Stormlord 2 aka Deliverance.

[Walker]

Correct, #7 is Stormlord 2 / Deliverance!

[oldpx]

#5 is Baal.

It was easy actually. The last time I checked filename was something like baal5.gif but since you wouldn't write down the name of the game in the filename I started checking forgotten realms games like pool of radiance :laugh :laugh

[oldpx]

But 6 can't be legends of valour can it? It can be ishar 2 too.

[Paul]

#8 Gold Of The Aztecs?

[Walker]

@Burseg
Yup, it's Baal. And yes, I actually forgot to rename that image *slap*. Amigaboy was the first one to notice, but he was friendly enough to PM me about it! Looks like you noticed it too before I reuploaded the image. :)

About image #6: No and No

@Paul
Yes! It's Golf of the Aztecs!

I want that game. Sounds like fun! :laughing

[Drake1009]

Yes, but did the aztecs even play golf?

[Walker]

Of course they did! Ever heard of the Mexican Golf....?

;)

[Drake1009]

I heard of Persian Gulf (inferno)

[Andrew]

Number 3 reminds me very much of the game over screen out of Myth. I could of course be talking complete rubbish :)

[Walker]

Number 3 is already identified by Tim Janssen as Ishar 1!

[Andrew]

Yes I know. I was just saying that it reminds me of the screen from Myth.

[Walker]

Oh, sorry! :)

[Andrew]

No problem :)

[Minuous]

Hmmm, Deliverance is Stormlord 2 eh? Didn't know that before. Ah well, you learn something every day :-)

[Walker]

Looks like nobody can crack #6 and #9. The correct ansers are:

6 - Borobodur - The Planet of Doom

9 - Lords of Doom
