"stinking illiterate peasant, he served me well"

This was on a gravestone pictured on an advert for a computer game years ago, and its really bugging me as I cant remember what game it was

Any ideas guys?

Could it be that Baldrick game made in Aus with Amos
This is all I can think of

Mick_AKA · 09 November 2002, 13:12

Not sure, i think it was a settelers type game, it might have been settelers im just not sure!

Shatterhand · 09 November 2002, 17:15

Could it be Genesia ?

Mick_AKA · 09 November 2002, 19:10

As I said I cant quite remember, I was hoping someone knew for sure.

IanMac · 09 November 2002, 22:10

its not settlers, i can tell you that much

Mick_AKA · 09 November 2002, 23:44

I dont think it was on the games box or anything, just the magazine advert, this is really bugging me now, im trying to find the mag, think it was in an issue of Computer and Video Games.

Mick_AKA · 22 March 2006, 00:30

Just ressurecting this as it still bugs the hell out of me!

Any ideas?

Galahad/FLT · 02 April 2006, 13:17

I remember this as well

Mick_AKA · 05 February 2007, 08:37

Just dragging this up again, still keeps me up nights lol

Anyone got any ideas?

Ironclaw · 05 February 2007, 08:56

Think I recognise that aswell, but donno either where it's from... hmm...

mr_0rga5m · 05 February 2007, 11:25

You sure it was for a game ?!? ... I thought it was for new IBM hardware. (new being XT's or summat)

hrm i need to start digging out the ol mags. O_o

Methanoid · 05 February 2007, 13:59

I'd be inclined to start trawling through HOL and seeing if it jogs a memory. Ideally you want to be able to browse a collection of Amiga mags for the advert!

Mick_AKA · 27 January 2010, 22:17

*bump* you never know, anyone?

Jonathan Drain · 09 February 2010, 22:45

Ha, I googled this and the only results are Mick_AKA asking this on forums. There's a thread on another forum where the guy says he googled it, and all he got was Mick_AKA asking it on this forum.

I seem to remember this advertisement. That places it either in CU Amiga magazine from 1993 until it closed, or the Amiga Format 1992 special. AMR doesn't scan advertisements (it should!) and all my Amiga magazines are buried under 10 years' worth of boxes and papers.

Or it could be one of those phrases that sounds like it's from somethign but isn't, like the movie quote, "That's the beauty of it! It doesn't DO anything!"

Galahad/FLT · 10 February 2010, 00:10

I'm sure I remember it being written on a gravestone in an advert.

pmc · 10 February 2010, 08:26

Eight years looking for this game name!

ROFL! Might be time to give up the fight mate!

Muzkat · 10 February 2010, 10:39

It's familiar to me as well.

Are you sure it's a retro game? Might it be Baldur's Gate?

But if it was that legendary title, it would have come up in Jonathan's Google search.

Hmmm...Goldrush?

Mick_AKA · 28 August 2010, 12:28

*bump* anyone?!

Jonathan Drain · 07 September 2010, 08:10

Can you narrow it down to which years of which magazines you read?
