Re: Gaming Guessing Game

Technically, that's not correct. Dune was an Adventure I believe, this is Dune2. But your go, because I stole the thread anyway...

Re: Gaming Guessing Game

I was thinking Dune 2, but thought that had better graphics

Ok, here's an old game... I think it was available on all sorts of formats.

Bionic Commando

(It poped up in the quiz a few pages back but got switched before I had posted).

Re: Gaming Guessing Game

Yeah I remember Bionic Commando from the Arcade, was a class game. This next one's maybe a touch older and although dated had some elements that were truly influential to game development.

BTW sorry for the small pic.

Re: Gaming Guessing Game

Unless I am misreading the thread path, Quokka has control of the thread at the moment due to his current Commando guess.

Speaking of which, I know I KNOW this one....I got to think back to the Atari 2600 days because I keep getting the title "Kangaroo" stuck in my head even though I know that I am confusing two titles.

Hmm....

WAIT!

Was it Quest of Quini Roo??? Quest of Quintana Roo???? Man, this is driving me nuts.

Re: Gaming Guessing Game

Stenevor was correct with Adventure , one of the first non-text adventure/rpgs, among the first to use random generation for items and the first game ever credited with an 'easter egg' after the author hid his name in the game in protest to Atari's policy of not giving creators credit.

I certainly never played this in 1978 but I do remember playing it and not all that many years ago, though I've no idea how I came to play it on the PC.

Oops sorry, I missed the part about thread flow. I'll edit my post, and save them for when/if I can get one right.

Edit: Ugh, apparently I can't edit my post after X hours/days/whatever have passed. Again, any mods feel free to axe my previous post.

Re: Gaming Guessing Game

Is it a PC or Xbox game? I don't have a chance if it is.


Wild guess...."Halo"?

Re: Gaming Guessing Game

Looks to me like System Shock 2, but the sequel comment suggests otherwise.





Feel free to ignore my turn if I'm wrong...
