Name the Game - Part 5

[child of Thor]

Im quite impressed they were making games for the C64 in 1992! the 16bits had been out for how long? maybe a couple of years?

Ah.....the Vic-20

Until i got my Atari 800XL, i had only been exposed to british computers(BBC,Electron,Dragon,Oric,Sinclair, Amstrad) - most of which were a bit crap
I was envious of my friends that had Spectrums/BBCs when i only had a ZX81, still i really loved that Atari and the jelousy faded away
The C64(and Vic20) were the Ataris big rivals - I even felt guilty when i got an Amiga........fun days

I'm kinda stumped on this game though - i guess Spaced is on an extended easter egg hunt?

[Spaced Cowboy]

Still not it guys, set in the future on another planet in this solar system.

I'm going to go with Mars Saga for the C64. You certainly lose a lot of party memebers, it had a non-real-time battle system, and I guess it woudl fall under "nonstandard"

[Spaced Cowboy]

Ding-ding-ding. We have a winner! Mars Saga it is!

[ZargonX]

Heh, I remember my friend who had that game would just constantly hire doctors in one section of town, then take them out to get them killed so he could get all of their money. A good, solid bases for an economic system, I guess

[Spaced Cowboy]

Z, when you guess right, you do the next one.

[ZargonX]

Uh oh, now the pressure is on... I don't even know what games have been done before Give me a few minutes to think about it, and I'll have one up soon

[DrSpike]

You can check the list on page 1, which contains at least 90% of the games.

[child of Thor]

but the missing 10% isnt my fault

I going to have to use google now to find out what the hell Mars Saga was/is

ZargaX - you'll also find a 'rules of the game' thing just before the list of games guessed so far, just so you know which type of game you can give us to guess.
And well done on your +1[edit: as in getting your first score in the game] score

[DrSpike]

Surely a +1 score should have a different definition.

[ZargonX]

Ok, this may be too easy, but this is my first time, so have mercy

This was a PC game...

Clue 1:
You wouldn't want this game to end up on the Church's proscribed list...

[child of Thor]

hmmm........tough clue - i'll have a go with 'Colonization', as it featured bringing 'native americans' into christianity(while giving them guns+whisky) something i wouldn't be happy with if it was tried again

[Spaced Cowboy]

Okay, another wild guess. Grim Fandango?

[Buck Birdseed]

Hell: A Cyberpunk Thriller?

[ZargonX]

Nope, nothing yet

Clue 2:
You might say the company that designed it wasn't really mainstream, both literally and figuratively...
