    • Equinox?
      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.

      • nope to all so far, but some good attempts - i'd forgotten about alien8

        clue 3:

        If like me you like natural history then this game tipped its hat to nature......a little bit, even though it had a futuristic setting

          • Nope not an adventure(in the way you meant).

            Clue4:

            It was an isometric 'arcade adventure' game.

            • Rogue Trooper?

              Comment


              • No, but i remember being really exited about that game - i was a big rogue trooper fan

                i'll include all the clues here:

                Clue1:

                the music/sound effects stood out - creepy and weird which fit perfectly with the game setting.

                Clue2:

                because the graphics used the highest resolution of the platform, they were in monochrome - which also added to the alienesque atmosphere.

                clue 3:

                If like me you like natural history then this game tipped its hat to nature......a little bit, even though it had a futuristic setting.

                Clue4:

                It was an isometric 'arcade adventure' game.


                Clue5:

                Termites/bees/and sci-fi

                  You didn't miss much with rogue trooper. Trust me...


                  As for the game, haven't a clue. I've played a few isometric games and know a few more. An isometric adventure game with bugs?...

                  • Midwinter II was buggy as hell.

                    I don't know. I thought it was Ant Attack, and if it's not that then I'm stumped.

                    • I guess you could say it was inspired by Ant Attack

                      Clue6:

                      This tuff budget game came out in 1987,
                      Some liked it alot - saying it was close to heaven.

                      Others were not so kind,
                      As each platform was different they did find.

                      Most had a 3D isometric view+more,
                      Accept strangely the poor C64.

                      Whittiker did the sounds and music proud,
                      A classy title that stood out from the crowd.



                      Bonus clue:

                      You had to find the safe 'route' to your target and hope the enemies didnt destroy your 'armour', although you could pay for repairs and extra weapons and gizzmo's as you progressed through the levels.

                        You mean it was with a walking spiderthingy seen from above on the C64? Ah yes, that one! It's Amaurote

                        • Ah i see the verse was an unfair advantage for you

                          Correct it was indeed the nice isometric(except on C64 ) game Amaurote .

                          On the 8bit Atari the sounds were excellent, they really convey a creepy sci-fi atmosphere

                          • Congratulations Cap!

                            Now you'll have to get the rhyming dictionary out again.

                            • Never heard of that one either. I am beginning to wonder if these ever saw US releases.
                              We're sorry, the voices in my head are not available at this time. Please try back again soon.

                              • It was that familiar rhyming ring that gave me back my zing!

                                That one was a toughie until the final clue with the C64 overview. Haven't played it myself but I did remember reading reviews about it.
