Name That Game!

Twistin'Ghost · 12 November 2001, 07:38

OK, let's see who will be the first (if any) to guess the name of this game...

Fred the Fop · 12 November 2001, 08:08

Kennedy Approach. (Or is it Tower Fra?).

Twistin'Ghost · 12 November 2001, 10:31

Neither!

CodyJarrett · 12 November 2001, 10:33

That would be too easy!

Tim Janssen · 13 November 2001, 11:18

Let's see.. isn't it called Paragliding? It is an attempt to simulate parachute jumping. I think it was programmed by Loriciel in 1992.
By the way: If I am right, do I win a prize?

Twistin'Ghost · 13 November 2001, 13:56

You win £1 million if the game is Paragliding. Wrong simulation, though.

Oh, and the reason I didn't place this thread in the forum where it now resides was because I'm not looking for the name of the game because I know it; it's just a quiz, so I felt I had it in the proper place. But it works here, too, I suppose.

BTW: how long should I let this thing go before you guys quit?

13 November 2001, 14:29

I quit all the way at the beginning because I have no idea

Do you know it Cody?

CodyJarrett · 13 November 2001, 14:32

Well, I wanted to let others have a chance first...

Amiga1992 · 13 November 2001, 16:25

I moved it because Andrea's quiz back then was at the Name the Game section... do yo uwant me to put it in Nostalgia or something?

Twistin'Ghost · 13 November 2001, 17:41

Well, I was gonna say that here is just fine, but I looked up at the top and it is under the auspice of Games Req, which it really is not.

scifi · 14 November 2001, 07:36

It must be Airport Twistin' Ghost!

Isn't it?

I have this game...if anyone wants me to upload?

Twistin'Ghost · 14 November 2001, 08:05

Congrats, scifi! You're the winner!

14 November 2001, 08:13

I have an idea

How about, every week one of these name the game things comes up, and when the game is found, the game is uploaded. Just for novelty, but will also help out a few

A weekly gameshow

Twistin'Ghost · 14 November 2001, 10:13

Well, I do like the idea of having it as a weekly feature. We could mix it up and have some screenshots crippled and others not (the more obscure games). We also need to decide how to delegate who chooses which games. Obviously someone who is not going to put up an easy Xenon 2 or Populous shot. And it should probably cycle through different members, but how do we determine who?

14 November 2001, 10:21

For the rare games, it would be best to show the entire screenshot since most of us have never seen half of the games

For the known games, only show a portion.

eg.

14 November 2001, 10:26

Yep

scifi · 14 November 2001, 16:22

I've just uploaded Airport!

Brilliant idea indeed AmigaBoy!

But we should determine the rules of this game as Twistin' Ghost previously noticed!

CodyJarrett · 14 November 2001, 16:34

I've started something here:

I think it should go in Nostalgia&Memories!

DPainter · 15 November 2001, 01:17
