That was my first thought too.

Are you sure the C is not actually an E? Are you sure it is the 2nd letter in the original title?

s2325 · 17 December 2010, 16:23

I'm sure it's C, not E. That line is "tail" of letter S.

skateblind · 17 December 2010, 16:35

Ok, I recognise it and it is driving me nuts. Is it a psygnosis game? I can't seem to find any psygnosis games with that letter in, so probably not.

s2325 · 17 December 2010, 16:37

No, it's not Psygnosis game. Game was released under 2 titles. Basic gameplay and animation.

phew....

s2325 · 17 December 2010, 16:42

correct

Since from what I see, we have 3 people who guessed 2 letters, I give my "guessing point" to whoever manage to post a new entry first

.

Edit: Btw, sooner or later we can try and do some special features, like a word to guess using only letters from scene group logos or from tables from pinball games.
But if we do that, do mention the specific condition and don't make it too difficult so that the average user still stand a chance (no more than 25% of very obscure stuff)

Hmm, I'd say I have 3 points, but alas viddi gets my points anyway

lilalurl · 17 December 2010, 20:38

Hmmm, looks like I despoiled you from one point. Well then, what are you waiting for? Where is your entry?

TCD · 17 December 2010, 21:05

Oh damn! This looks like work...
Okay, will take a bit though

Here you go :

That is correct.

TCD · 17 December 2010, 22:00

Indeed.

lilalurl · 20 December 2010, 04:26

Hints please. Or bigger letters (oh wait, that does not make any sense

).

The background for the A reminds me of something but I don't manage to remember (and then maybe it is the wrong idea...).

TCD · 20 December 2010, 09:09

Hmm, hints...

One of the games has an unknown developer and no release year. Another one is an Amiga original from 1987. You should use the force to get the third one. Then there is the direct ST port from 1990 (boo!). Think about crackpots for another one. Oh and Karsten Obarski made the music for the last one.

There, a hint for each one of them

TCD · 20 December 2010, 09:13

Correct
