Name the Game - Part 5

Clue #2: (I know it's too soon but #1 was really obtuse). The reason it's difficult to control with a keyboard is because you use the diagonals more than the "normal" directions.

I'm all in for removing the '93 rule, since we've had almost (yeah right! ) all games before that

Grim fu**in Fandango! who'd have thought it.......

Well we could extend it a little to 97?(2000 and its a bit recent ) What people think?

As for my guess im going with 'Starfox' that snes game i thinkit was - with the anime cartoon chars( a fox was one of them).

Sonic,

Yeah ditch the '93 rule, that will open this up a bit. I'm not sure I like the inclusion of consol games though. Never owned one of those.

Street Fighter II.

Mortal Kombat II?

Clue #3: "I paid all my money to that strange big bird!"

I'm doing loads of small clues this time around, since I'm playing the game and it's fresh in my memory. This is the last one for tonight though.

Clue #4: It's not "Jak and Daxter" but there is a "Zak" and a "Dexter" that act as your rivals during a certain portion of the game. Zak is an obsessively dedicated knight, Dexter is a giganting scaly bewinged "Drakkonian" Bounty Hunter whose diet consists of raw meat and who has a penchant for buying expensive art.

Clue #5: You can stand on top of practically everything in this game, including furniture, people, animals, objects that harm you... In fact near the beginning there's a secret "Life Stock" (extra hit point/strength thingy) that you can get by jumping from a dog to a guard to a statue.

I'm sorry, I messed up which one was Zak and which one was Dexter. It's the other way around, not that it matters.

Clue #6: The entire game is set on an island. During the wars of an earlier era a king came to hide there.

[Buck Birdseed]

Right, **** this ****. I'll start dropping big clues.

#1: Isometric Action RPG.

[Adagio]

Doesn't sound familiar to me

[DrSpike]

Dragon Quest?

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Bahamut Lagoon?

[Buck Birdseed]

#2: On the Genesis/Megadrive. Breakthrough and in some ways only good game of a japanese developer.
