well the wording in the clues has confused me a little.

Do the screens scroll at all or are they fixed screen-sized screens with no scrolling ?

if there is screen scrolling of any sort then i guess Jetpack edit: i'm not sure now if the screens did scroll on jetpac.......i remember that it did look prety good though for a game of this time.....oh well.

and i'm sorry for DoYing

spike (verb, intransitive) - to be controlling many forum games, but never bother updating any of them.

but how do you juggle your time with so much Sims2 playing!!!

edit: oh and if the answer is bombjack then dunk should have it as i was semi-cheating with my DoYing

[DrSpike]

Bombjack is correct. If Dunk wants the point it's his, since you aren't allowed to make 2 guesses and thus it's your own fault you gave him the answer.

Now it'll be fun seeing how guilty he feels.

oh well, congrats dunk and here is a link to that fav place on most games bombjack at moby
This was a huge game at the time, probably helped by its arcade connections. I always found the game too fiddle-some. Still it did have some excellent back drop graphics( well except for the poor ZX speccy ).

Over to dunk!

Where is Dunk?

[duke o' york]

Hasn't posted since Monday, and he's not here that often, but it would be a shame to deny him the chance to test us all. If we can limit ourselves to a single bump per day, then I'm sure he'll be back soon with a new game.

[Ljube]

I have a better idea. How about I give a new game while we're waiting on Dunk. It's been a while since I last guessed right

[Moral Hazard]

Really. I was just Bumping. I bet he has no idea he won

[Buck Birdseed]

Right, let's commence the pre-guessing.

Mission: Impossible

[DrSpike]

Grim Fandango

[Spaced Cowboy]

Civ3

[DrSpike]

Don't be silly SC.

[child of Thor]

was Grimfandango a good game? i know it got good reviews, but did anyone of you guys play it and enjoy it? I've seen it around on budget labels and had a look at the cover etc, but somehow passed it over.

my pre-guess is leather goddesses of Phobos?

[DrSpike]

Is the pope a catholic?

Grim Fandango is a MUST play if you are even slightly inclined to like adverture games. It's funny, and has some of the most inventive adventure game puzzles of all time.

Reviews at the time were mixed because, be warned, the difficulty level does not get any higher than in this game.
