Name the game - part 2

[Asmodean]

Hell yeah...I remember this one now.

My brother and I used to play these old C64 games together (or rather I played and he watched...I was 12 years at the time, he was 5).

This game is called "Save New York"

Here is the box art for it:

Nooooo...


finally I game I knew (And played countless of hours with a friend of mine) Those MP "matches" in the tunnels were great fun also

I wish I could try out this game again, but haven't been able to find it anywere

[Ljube]

But of course it's "Save New York".

One of the greatest games I have ever played. So simple, and so fun. Both single player and multiplayer options were addictive and I played the game a lot.

I was known among my friends as "King of the subway". You can still play it using C64 simulation on PC. I don't know what it would be like without joysticks though.

And so Asmodean, fellow veteran gamer, it's your turn, courtesy of CapTVK who busted my game in 10 minutes, but felt he had plenty of trophies already.

Heeeeeerreess the next one:

Year: 1990
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Platform: DOS
Genre: Strategy

Clue #1) The graphics were a mild revolution for that era. Rotatable and zoomable 3D

Giving the publisher name might be a little bit too revealing... (Don't know how many games EA published at that time)

...not that I know what game you're talking about anyway...

[child of Thor]

hmm..........Powermonger?

[Asmodean]

It depends...this game is definately known for the developer. Had I given that, everyone and his mother would have guessed it right off the bat.

If nobody googles it, the publisher info isn't that helpful.

Asmodean

[Asmodean]

The x-post made this a little weird.

But child of Thor is a winner. It is indeed Powermonger.

Asmodean

[child of Thor]

well ok.......****e give me some time for the next one.

(it was a stab in the dark - i wasn't sure if it really qualified as a true 3d game.........but i guess so!)

Check back here tomorrow at around 10:00 GMT

[DrSpike]

Ack I would have got that. Damn my poor timing.

[Asmodean]

Okay...first coT and now Spikey.

What made this one so easy??

Asmodean

[DrSpike]

Well there weren't that many popular strategy games from that era. What is more I played the vast majority, and I expect CoT is the same.

[child of Thor]

indeed Dr.Spike, after i had got scrolling shooters and platform games out my system through the 80's, i became a strat-whore, and as it was an emerging genre i think i played most of them.

Ok sorry for the delay

This was a game that had real charm. Great graphics, music and sound. I think it only came out on 8bit computers, not sure about pc.

i'll try a CapTVK,
as means to try to sway
the brain cells growing dim
so lets just begin

[ - ok no i'll stop right now! ]

So the era would be around mid to late 80's

Clue 1: twinkle my forest.

[Asmodean]

The only thing that comes to mind is Forbidden Forest, but that would be to early based on your time frame.
