Congratulations on finding a game only you know about! I scanned a list of Saturn games just now to see if anything jumped out and nothing did. It looks like Aladdin's older, evil brother. Total guess: Grandia?

Can we have some clues for no. 4 and 6 please?

LOL! I could have solved the Virtua Fighter thing while I was at it too: [ATTACH]3229[/ATTACH]

I'd love to say I recognised it, but it was part-guess, part-intuition, helped by mcj's clue. These are the scores. It's been a bit crazy, so please point out if I've made a mistake. I haven't awarded any points for Virtua Fighter. I think nando should decide it.

I'll go with Zelda: Ocarina Of Time, if I haven't used up all my guesses already. [ATTACH]3228[/ATTACH] Sneaky!

Normally I would step in and mediate, but I have a desire to see blood. I take it my guesses are way off?

Great topic! Barbarian: The Ultimate Warrior (Spectrum, Commodore, Amstrad, ...) [ATTACH]3223[/ATTACH] I've never played this game. I don't even want to. It looks like a pretty simple 2D fighting game. There is one reason (maybe two) I remember this game so well which is probably the same reason it sold so well! It stirred a lot of controversy at the time. Google it if you have no idea what I'm talking about. Revs (BBC Micro) [ATTACH]3226[/ATTACH] It's a no-frills F3 racing game that seems about as basic as you can get. When the game has loaded, you're there in the driving seat, engine running. No title screen, no options, no nothing, except a block of black in front of you with green bits to the side. No other cars either. That alone makes it somewhat memorable, but I remember it mainly for the controls and learning difficulty. Believe me when I say that it takes about an hour of experimentation to get past the first bend. The handling feels like you're driving a block of ice across a frozen lake. Turn left or right, and 99 times out of that first hundred, the back wheels will spin away from you. Crash, start again. It's a game where reaching a fast speed is a genuine moment of exhiliration because you'll be driving so cautiously the rest of the way. Flashback (Amiga, SNES, Megadrive, ...) [ATTACH]3225[/ATTACH] The gameplay was so so, IMO. It borrowed successfully from Prince of Persia and was fun in places. What made it an incredible game for me was the atmosphere, presentation and sound, which elevated the whole gameplay experience significantly. It's a great example of how to do a sci-fi game well.

Rules are for fools. This is the only way I have a chance of topping the score list! Actually, I have a few more guesses. I wrote them all down on this page: http:\\http://www.videogames.com\AllGames\A-Z

Wow, you guys have been bizzay. Number 7 looks foggy. Ico? Zelda: Twilight Princess? Professor Layton and the Curious Village? Depends who is posting, though we should probably try to explicitly say this at the time the pics are posted.

Cadaver is correct! Scores Coolness Bears: 9 Epic fail: 7 Cube: 6 D_prOdigy: 6 darksnowman: 5 Happenstance: 4 Shino: 4 mcj metroid: 4 Patch: 2 MoogleViper: 2 Fused King: 1 deathborn: 1 Mundi: 1 Goafer: 1 / nando /: 1 dwarf gourami: 1

Not a D&D game. It was released on the Atari ST and Commodore Amiga in 1990. Here is the boxart with the title removed from the top. Boxart for #1: [ATTACH]3219[/ATTACH]

dwarf is correct! 2. Clayfighter is also correct. There is only number 1 left to get.

Doki Doki correct (I was tempted to show everything *except* the player but that would have been evil). Pokemon incorrect.

Correctness.

Looks good to me. I'll remove the duplicate D_prodigy for next time. Some more pics to guess (number 3 is possibly the smallest pic I've posted at just 15 pixels square, but most people will know the game it comes from). 1. [ATTACH]3212[/ATTACH] 2.

Here is a helper pic for number 1: I need to know the *exact* name of this one. [ATTACH]3202[/ATTACH]

Thanks for all the tips guys. I'll try to remember to visit this thread if I carry on playing!

The Chaos Engine is correct! Some great guesses for both games. darkle, that was a phenominal guess - you're along the right lines. I'll post a more obvious screen at lunchtime.

Correct again. Just 1) and 2) left to guess.

Haha! Brilliant! FF:CC and Golden Sun 2 are correct.

Vib Ribbon is correct. Try again for no. 3.

Time up. The game is called Driller and is one of the first fully 3D games ever made, using the Freescape engine that was used to make various sequels. They even released a 3D Contruction Kit that allowed you to make your own games. It's amazing how we tolerated games with 1fps back then!

Correct! Just number 1 to go. I'll give it a few more hours then post another lot.
