Could it be Joan of Arc?

gunni · 24 August 2013, 01:10

oh for goodness sake! I'd never seen this thread before, remember the advert as well and now its bugging the heck out of me!

Bamiga2002 · 29 August 2013, 09:37

Yes I've seen this too in a magazine

Mick_AKA · 22 March 2014, 20:29

2014 bump!

Almost 12 years...

I suppose that the hope was someone would see it and think "ah I remember that ad for xxxxxx" or "I remember that ad from xxxxxx magazine"

I remain optimistic!

turrican3 · 23 March 2014, 05:29

I think about "the horde" : 1994 peasants etc... But i really don't know.

copse · 24 March 2014, 00:31

Perhaps this jogs your memory?

Could have been this?
Either on the character dying or on a low score on the scores page?

or:

frankenstein the monster return for nintendo or something like that?

Or gobliiins or ghouls and ghosts or ghosts and goblins...

or perhaps a cemetary scene in one of the Elvira or Waxworks games?

also to check: Ooze and Loom

It seems that, he's not sure it was on amiga then : http://www.allgame.com/game.php?id=14873&tab=review stronghold.

Mick_AKA · 25 March 2014, 01:43

It wasn't an in game shot, it was ad artwork, possibly with some screenshots on it...

I has this magazine page on my wall for years over several houses and I can't for the life of me remember the game it was from.

Non-Amiga mags I had around the time were CD-ROM User and and PC Format but I cant find it trawling through PDF back issues

If it's what I'm thinking of then it was black and white artwork.
Probably between '92-'94, I've a sneaky suspicion I might have seen it in Computer and Video Games.

Marcuz · 25 March 2014, 14:35

what I love of this mystery filled thread is that hints too are mysterious

Haha I wasn't being intentionally mysterious, just it is likely to have been in the period between me getting my A600 and not buying computer mags because I was spending my money on driving lessons.

I'm now doubting myself and wondering whether it could have been at the end of my CPC days when I had my Sega Game Gear. Now even more vague...

Mick_AKA · 27 March 2014, 15:38

I'm thinking if this wasn't in CD-ROM User magazine it was around the same period, so I'm now thinking 1994...

I've been thru most of the C&VG mag scans and have not found it yet

Bamiga2002 · 06 May 2014, 06:55

This is really annoying, I know this advert too! But can't remember the game :/

Marcuz · 08 July 2014, 22:17

Could it be The Art of Fighting 3?

there is this scene that could have been easily depicted on a advert too imho.

Leandro Jardim · 10 July 2014, 05:40

I think it was on a PC game, on a PC magazine. I did see it too.

Miggy2TheMax · 10 July 2014, 05:54

Well.. I guess a script could be developed to extract out all ascii strings out of all amiga disk images. Then this collection of strings could be dropped into a database and searched. Does a database like this already exist? I wonder if the phrase in question could be found...

Mick_AKA · 05 January 2015, 15:25

*bump*

The search continues...

Marcuz · 05 January 2015, 21:15

Could have been instead a snarky comment by some reviewer under a screenshot of the game in a magazine?
