Guess The Game
Another oldie revived. I'll reiterate the rules for the new folks:

1. The person who guesses the game correctly can either submit their own, or if they can't be arsed, nominate another person (assuming they want to)
2. Any media relating to the game, whether that be screenshots, videos, audio files etc. can be used - if it's an audio or video file, though, keep a reasonable filesize; for audio, I'd recommend a monaural MP3 file with a bitrate of 24kb/s or thereabouts, and for video, a 320x240 150kb/s monaural WMV, MPEG or AVI file should be okay. Length for either should be kept to a minute maximum.

Anyhow, on with the show...

The first game, with a soundtrack which should go down as one of the best ever.

And no, it's not listed in my "Other Games" list ;P

Funny, it's just a normal MP3... Windows Media Player 7 upwards or Winamp should handle it no problem.

Re: Guess The Game
Well, seeing as how nobody knows it (hell, nobody even attempted, you lazy people >=/), I may as well post the answer: it was Konami's Sparkster, released for the SNES in 1994.

Next one, this should hopefully be a lot easier. It's another Konami SNES game, by the way.

EDIT: And ignore the "59/60" at the bottom, that's just the emulator's framerate counter.

Re: Guess The Game
Ah, that explains it. I have an outdated version of that and I've never bothered to upgrade it, since times like this are the only times I ever use the thing.

And I have no idea about the second one, except that it sounds like Andi is right to me.

Spiderman or something? I have no idea.

My guess is an X-Men game of some kind, judging by the dude on the left... give us a couple of hints =P

Re: Guess The Game
Maybe some sort of 'superhero showdown' thing?
Andi

It has a bit of spiderman, a bit of superheroshowdownthing and the world's famost hedgehog is part of the name.

Well, that would be Sonic, right? Unfortunately, I still don't know what it is :P

Sonic Blastman?

I'd say some kind of Sonic game...

Re: Guess The Game
Is that a rabbit or something? Ehr... maybe I'll figure it out in a while.

17 Jul 2004 11:02:22
Re: Guess The Game
Lemeri> Nope, however Sonic Team was the reason this game didn't get the exposure it deserved.

L'K> Again, nope, not a rabbit =P

Re: Guess The Game
True, it seems to have a tail. Unfortunately, I'm drawing a complete blank on what else it could be right now.

17 Jul 2004 17:35:04
Re: Guess The Game
Could be a mouse. Is it a sonic clone?
G3K
17 Jul 2004 17:49:14
Re: Guess The Game
Nope, not a clone, completely different game.
Lemka
17 Jul 2004 19:26:15
Re: Guess The Game
Okay, so it may or may not be a mouse, it has a jetpack, and you seem to need to find crystals.
Urg. I have no clue. Well, actually, I probably have several clues - I'm just putting them together wrong.
G3K
19 Jul 2004 15:06:25
Re: Guess The Game
Okay, seeing as how nobody's getting that one... it's Sparkster 2 : Rocket Knight Adventures, released by Konami in 1994 for the Sega Megadrive. And just to clear up the species argument, Sparkster is an Australian possum.

Anyway, new game, and this time it's a Sega Megadrive release title... this lad was Sega's mascot before Sonic showed up. Here's the pic.

Well, yeah, it's the little dude in the red with the mullet.

Another hint: His initials are AK.

So it's not the vampire. Garn, I have no idea...

Maybe his name is Achmed Kalashnikov or so. Anyway this game looks really weird. :P

Re: Guess The Game
A game description taken from MobyGames...

A*** K***, resident of planet Aries, is the brother to the king. One day he comes across a rumor that his long lost father, King Thor, is alive and somewhere on the planet Paperock.

Now Paperock is a place where you have to be good at the game of 'Paper, Rock and Scissors' to get anywhere. With that knowledge you must take control of A***, guide him through the odd natured, unfriendly planet and help him find his father.


It's a side-scrolling platformer, like Mario.

Re: Guess The Game
Seeing as how absolutely nobody is getting it... Alex Kidd And The Enchanted Castle, released in 1989 for the Sega Megadrive. Moving on, and it's a Master System game now.

Here it is.

Hm. The guy in the mi9ddle of the screen rememinds me to Banjo-Kazooi (or however it is spelled). But I know that's not the name. XD

Re: Guess The Game
Well, it looks kinda like a fox, so I guess it could be Starfox.

Re: Guess The Game
Seeing as how nobody's going to bother their arse even TRYING, I'm going to make the next one obvious as possible. The last one was Megaman VII for SNES.

Which game's had its music buggered thanks to incorrect emulation?

Platformer.

Nope, although that is a pretty damn good game in its own right from what I've heard.

Sonic Pinball? (it just flew into my mind.)

//edit 3: But Sonic is no puzzle game. X_X

I've got one, (Andi, you may intervene at any time during this guess because you really did get the last one.)               quote "once i am finished with you, the seal will open between the two worlds." unquote,
Guess what game that's from. HINT:Chain link

(the quote may be a bit off) it's either dark world and light world, or the two worlds.

Re: Guess The Game
Here's a game descript.  Guess from this.

This 1989 game pits a good god against an evil one.  You must level land for your people to settle on and destroy your opponent's people.  You can use spells such as swamp, knight, volcano, earthquake, flood, and armageddon.  Each side has a unit called a priest, who lets you do things on the map even though you are not there (you are playing a god, so you aren't there).  Only the priest can be directly controlled.

hint: think D.angerously M.orose A.ugers.
