Name The Game - Part 11:

[child of Thor]

Its that team17 game with the frog in it: Superfrog - the idea was cool and the character had that great tongue-in-cheek 'danger mouse'(80's cartoon series) feel to it. Still it was a little fiddly to control i found, still atleast it didnt annoy me like Zool did

(cheers for the War,Inc info TauCeti - i do know the name, and now i'm intrigued enough to look out for it - it has a mech commander look to it that i like )

That looks right and if so I am going to feel a little ashamed.

You see, ages ago whilst struggling to think of a game to set I thought of not one but two. The second (that I didn't set) was Superfrog. Then when it came time to set the next game I couldn't remember it, though I knew there was one I had previously thought of.

When I saw these clues (and was trying to figure out games that fitted) I was reminded of my earlier idea. I wonder why that was? I didn't consider it could be this game.

edit.......

How can you struggle to think of a game to set

You know so many(as your status as king of the guess shows)

I'm the opposite - i could think of games to guess for another 10 years or so ......but as you know my guessing lets me down.

If it helps i'd nearly set Superfrog before myself

Well a side effect of winning quite a lot is that you have to think much harder to find games. I like to choose ones that were memorable, rather than games you can just about scrape up recollections of.

hey - what game isn't memmorable

i'll wait for Tau Ceti to confirm(and to give me time to think of a real nasty one.......).

You know, there is this C64, BBC and whatnot game from 1984 that was 3D, with vector graphics and the Blue Danube that still hasn't featured in all of the 348 Name That Game threads we had so far

I've got no idea what game your meaning - you'll have to set it when you get a go

Clue1:

This game featured 3D vector graphics.
