Correct. I meant a sequel to the sequel would have been nice.

Re: Gaming Guessing Game

In that case...... Shining Force: The Legacy of Great Intention!

So many hours of my life have been devoured by SF and SF2, I even played SF2 via emulation a few years back just for nostalgia value lol.

One good thing about looking for games for this thread is you stumble across other ones that you had forgoten all about. This is one of them but it was funny just how much I recalled looking at the screenshots. It should be easy enough to answer so I'll indulge in a few of those screenshots

It may be easy for some, not for others

But I'll take a guess at Shinobi. God knows which one.

Re: Gaming Guessing Game

I've definitely played this, but damned if I can remember the name. I'll have to have a think. That beginning of level pic is really annoying me because I know it's obvious.

As always its only easy if you know it

I just thought it had been a really popular game at the time, first in the arcade then converted to consoles. It's not Shinobi though it has alot in common and I think it was from about the same time. There was a strong theme of fighting the communist Russians and of robotics.

The most distinctive part was the visual of the attack/sword strike, as in the 3rd pic.

Re: Gaming Guessing Game

Course it's easy, it's Strider. Quokka, it didn't help that your last comment made me keep thinking "Raid Over Moscow" which was nothing at all like Strider in any way. Bloody great game, Strider.

Re: Gaming Guessing Game

Here's another that's easy if you know it...we had one of these classic arcade games at school, believe it or not. I think it also made it onto the Atari ST.

Re: Gaming Guessing Game

Nope, though I did have a very very small hand in testing Micro-Machines, for a couple of days at most, when I very first started at Ocean QA.
(And if I'd started a couple of months earlier, I would have had my name in the credits of Lemmings. Goddamn it!)
