Name That Game

Recommended Posts

Really?! That was a bit of a stab in the dark cos I mind the game being more colourful! Ah well, I've finally chalked up a point, woohoo!! :hehe:

 

Well that screenshot is from the NES version, there was a mega drive version which obviously looked a bit better, maybe you were remembering that version?

Nah, sparksy, I definitely played it on the NES... I must be thinking in a rather rose tinted way about it. Lets hope someone can get you're first one soon so the next pic can be revealed... maybe I can get some momentum going now!

Whoa! Really? Do they have an "old-school section" or something? I really didn't expect that game to be mentioned in recent articles or newsletters, let alone a magazine.

 

Anyway, a picture and the updated scoreboard:

Ultima 9: Ascension!

 

(Hummms Royal Britannia!)

 

Nope. The graphics in that picture are nowhere near Ultima 9.

theguyfromspark is always right. ;)

 

I'll have to check the mag, but they have a few retro pages these days - mostly in association with Virtual Console talk - and it was in there.

I with that were true!

 

My assumption is that, at 26, I'm a little older than most on the board and therefore have had a slightly longer time to read and play some classic games.

I just wish I could remember important things as well!

Thanks fot the information. I'm just happy that an old unnoticed (and I mean REALLY unnoticed) game from my childhood got some recognition from a current magazine.:smile:

Actually, I don't know much about the Ultima series and I was basing myself in a few screenshots. When I said "graphics" I meant "atmosphere". Ultima 9 seemed clourful and with abundant light, while the game I posted has a very dark atmosphere.

 

Speaking of which,

 

King's Quest: mask of Eternity

 

Hellfire guessed two of my games in a row.
