theguyfromspark Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 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!! 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?
darksnowman Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 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!
Jonnas Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 D'oh! Of course that's not Vectorman! That is Wolverine! Uhhh...X-Men Mutant Apocalypse?

thirtynine. Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Are the others Missile Command and The Hobbit? god damn you being so fast.
Jonnas Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 I just noticed this month's NGC has a pic of Molemania! 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.

Jonnas Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Ultima 9: Ascension! (Hummms Royal Britannia!) Nope. The graphics in that picture are nowhere near Ultima 9.

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.
theguyfromspark Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 theguyfromspark is always right. 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!
Jamba Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Nope. The graphics in that picture are nowhere near Ultima 9. Errr is that better or worse than Ultima? It does reeeeally look like it tho. Oh wait! Ultima 8? Lol
Jonnas Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 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. 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. Errr is that better or worse than Ultima? It does reeeeally look like it tho. Oh wait! Ultima 8? Lol 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.

steggy Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 1st one is Lemmings 3rd one is Krusty's Super Fun House 2 of the three SNES games I owned when I was a kid.
Patch Posted July 20, 2007 Author Posted July 20, 2007 Correct. I'm going to have to make them a lot harder in future. So still number 2 to go.
