  • Name the Game - Part 3

    ... and here's the third part...


    I start out, by writing a little about a game, the first one who guess's the game, may post some new game info, for others to guess...

    Game rules:
    - Games are not allowed to be newer than Amiga games, but anything before that is allowed (No matter on which computer it was played on)
    - you shall write information about which computer you played it on
    - Don't write part of the name in the game info, unless there's no way to avoid it
    - Write as little as possible, if nobody can guess, write some more later
    - Try to keep games, to be from computers, most people have had...
    - If you're the first one to guess a game, and you're certain you're right, feel free to post your game info (In case you know you'll be leaving soon)... but other players are not allowed to start guessing, before the poster of the first question has approved the answer, or most other players approve the answer

    Clue repost:

    Genre: Action
    Released: late 80s
    Platform: DOS only AFAIK, Mobygames claims C64 also which is a strange combo methinks.

    Clue #1: If you stay parked too long initially you'll get gunned down by the enemy's non-player-controlled helicopters that are usually just a minor annoyance.

      Seeing as it involves helicopters I'm thinking of another game involving harriers. But that's probably not the one. Perhaps...: Infiltrator 2?
      Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

        Alas, no.

        Clue #2: This game allows you to shoot and/or destroy pretty much everything. Walls, gun turrets, gates in your enemy's base (your own open automatically), buildings, hangars, fuel silos, trees, helicopters, foot soldiers... the last of these can also be run over, producing a wonderful squish sound effect IIRC.

            Walls and gates you say. That can mean only firepower .

              So you're in the game again eh?

              Sorry guys, it's another poem coming up, 'cause Cap is quite right: the game is Capture-the-flag-with-tanks classic Fire Power.

                Damn....I knew I should have taken poetry 101 in high school.

                Asmodean
                Im not sure what Baruk Khazad is , but if they speak Judeo-Dwarvish, that would be "blessed are the dwarves" - lord of the mark

                  Damn! Why do you always have to get relatively easy games when I'm drunk or asleep? Is it some kind of conspiracy?

                    An easy game for one person is difficult for another. I would have got Discworld Noir based on the first clue, yet when I opened up the thread in the morning two more clues and dozens of wrong guesses had been posted...

                      You want an easy one? I've got those by the ton!

                      This one is from the late 80's, originated at the 16-bit homecomputers but was ported later to others as well.

                      This was by done by a couple of bro's
                      One could say they were real pro's...
                      If oen thing stood out it was the music.
                      Whatever the beat, it certainly was psychosomatic

                        Brothers, brothers. Bitmap brothers? I believe most of their games was early nineties, but how about Xenon?

                          Dizzy? by codemasters?(do i need to guess a particular one?)
                          'The very basis of the liberal idea – the belief of individual freedom is what causes the chaos' - William Kristol, son of the founder of neo-conservitivism, talking about neo-con ideology and its agenda for you.info here. prove me wrong.

                          Bush's Republican=Neo-con for all intent and purpose. be afraid.

                            The only actual brothers I can think of in the game industry are the Collyer brothers and AFAIK none of the Champ Man games have had music...

                              I was actually thinking of Xenon 2, but seeing I was referring to the Bitmap Brothers I´ll allow this as the answer.

                              Told you it was easy
