Correct!

Lol, I'm going to change the rules: Person with correct answer must have had at least one guess previously and not be lurking in the background ready to jump in with the answer and steal the points

Not sure how I'm supposed to guess when i have no idea what it is. I haven't been lurking. I went through almost 400 hol entries on your first clue and still failed.. I see that as playing. Unless you want me to post a random game to show I'm playing?

Anyway next

You too .
Usually I browse "hol" night time before turning off the computer and going for a rest. As I miss the tree last guess, I think I should change the "hol" browsing time .

I try to break the pic down into what I think it is, does it look 'platformy' or 'shooter' etc then search by narrowing it to whatever criteria I think it is, works some times but not all!

Instead of giving you usual clue, which will allow you to browse 745 results from "hol", I will give a more easy one to guess game's name : a rebus
See thumbnail

Edit: if you really want to browse "hol", the game is from 1989

Nice try but no.
In fact I just realised that yesterday night I missed to write that the rebus is in my mother-tongue (French). Not a big deal in fact (4 words) but sorry for the omission .
"cat" is correct (in French -> "chat").
So : ___ ___ chat ___

So the Rebus is all French words that spell an English game?

yes

Edit: I am sure you know it but prefer to point it just in case. In rebus the pictures represent "syllables" and/or "words".
So most of the time it's the "sound" of the word that has to be taken.
As example with the word "chat" what is important is it's sound, meaning "cha" (as we don't pronounce the final "t").
With the "Release year" and simply this "cat" picture, hol returns only 19 results....

Please post a bigger screenshot if you think it'll help or just provide the game title so we can move on, please.

Really ?
I am so surprised...
19 results in hol and another clue is required ?
Since games with more than 400 results are found, will wait a little bit

Don't know French well but I guess "Bi" for 2 and "o" for Eau. So the "lenge"-part probably means diaper.

Well done john4p. You guessed all the words perfectly !
5 points that are worth !

So you're next...

Only for information, last word is "lange" with a "a" (not "e"). But anyway excellently guessed a "French rebus" for a non French speaking guy !
