[Graham Humphrey]

Rules:

1). Only 1 screenshot post at a time.

2). Winner is the only person who can post screenshots OR they can nominate another member.

3). Screenshots must be from Amiga (Obviously) games only.

4). Screenshots can have a minimum shot size of 60x60 pixels (NOT ZOOMED/RESIZED). This also includes ensuring WinUAE is setup correctly. Please ensure that you select a screensize of 320x200/256, Line doubling is off and lo-res is ticked.

5). Ridiculous shots (i.e not legible as a game) will be removed and the previous screenshot poster can have another go

6). Screenshot must be from a COMMERCIAL or well known PD release and can be from any part except the cracktro etc.

7). 5 Points for a correct answer, 1 point per day for the poster if his screenshot is not guessed (point is awarded after 24 hours from when the screenshot was posted).

8). League table will be kept in the post directly after this one.

9). Anyone posting screenshots when it's NOT their go will lose a point and the post deleted.

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.

11). Only one guess per person per hour UNLESS somebody else guesses within that hour AND the poster has to say whether it is/isn't correct.

12). Have fun.

Any rule breaks will result in the go being disqualified and a point deducted from score.

[Graham Humphrey]

It's DDNI's turn and his screenshot is here (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=620236#post620236).

A clue would be appreciated - especially as he technically broke the rules by posting his new screenshot more than 24 hours after his go was confirmed as correct ;)

[DDNI]

bah Humbug! If I must give a clue then meager it will be ;)


Clue time...

It is on HOL
It is a game
It is an amiga game
It has a WHDload install
It was released in 1989
It is an OCS game
It came on one disk

[TheCyberDruid]

Artura?

[DDNI]

not that on TCD

[viddi]

Ha!

Where did you get this screenshot from?

[CodyJarrett]

I'm playing through the game for an APoV article and for some new HOL screenshots. This is from the level after the level where you fight off the sharks and climb onto the boat after being thrown into the sea from the American nuclear plant following the explosion. It's set in a Russian base where there are mutant pigs.

[Predseda]

Cody... errrm... it was told that screenshot should come form HOL. I know it is FOR HOL, but I think that the meaning was "published at HOL".

But it was a recommendation I think, not a rule .o)

[viddi]

Only Deluxe Paint IV is better. :great

[TheCyberDruid]

I'm an enthusiastic user of MS Paint myself :great I can distinguish its style between thousands of graphic programs :agree Nice to see another graphics designer with the same expierence here :spin
Btw : Still no clue about that screenshot...
