lol looks like those 'virus' graphics from The Thing

Ant Attack |=| (Ste), Monday, 20 October 2008 21:51 (seventeen years ago)

is 54 Warcraft 3?

Ant Attack |=| (Ste), Monday, 20 October 2008 21:53 (seventeen years ago)

lol i just downloaded that sopwith3 game, it's fun. Love the explosions.

Ant Attack |=| (Ste), Monday, 20 October 2008 22:00 (seventeen years ago)

#53's gameplay is similar to "BMX On The Moon"

snoball, Monday, 20 October 2008 22:02 (seventeen years ago)

54 is not Warcraft 3. it's actually the fourth game in a series.

Alien Mindbender (Roberto Spiralli), Monday, 20 October 2008 23:31 (seventeen years ago)

For some reason 54 looks like Devil May Cry to me, so Devil May Cry 4. (never played that so probably way off).

what U cry 4 (jim), Monday, 20 October 2008 23:34 (seventeen years ago)

that's not it

Alien Mindbender (Roberto Spiralli), Tuesday, 21 October 2008 00:07 (seventeen years ago)

was going to guess that 54 was some sort of eye of sauron LOTR bullshit but IDK if there have been 4 series games there so probably not.

53 possibly Leapin' Louie? It's a long shot...

CraigG, Tuesday, 21 October 2008 08:15 (seventeen years ago)

Oh yeah, will I just give the answer to 35? I'm starting to think I'm maybe the only person that played the game. :)

CraigG, Tuesday, 21 October 2008 08:16 (seventeen years ago)

go on tell

Ant Attack |=| (Ste), Tuesday, 21 October 2008 08:17 (seventeen years ago)

and nobody even took a shot at this one, which i'm also keen to know the answer to

― CraigG,

No, it's a very similar game though.

snoball, Tuesday, 21 October 2008 08:54 (seventeen years ago)

is 7 milipede?

also, to doctor casino, i spent TONS of time on ultimate wizard. oh the C64 EA days...

SANJAY BLOGDAI SANJAY (John Justen), Tuesday, 21 October 2008 10:05 (seventeen years ago)

Okay, 35 is Wizkid, a follow up to Wizball. It was wierd as hell, but the screen I posted is one I remember best because I was about 11 when I first played the game and you have to block one of the toilets, start a tap running, then sit in a bucket to get the tide of overflowed toilet to push you out through a whole in the ceiling. Then I think a volcano fired chunks of poop... I said it was wierd.

Me too, it looks familiar, but I just don't have a clue what it is.

CraigG, Tuesday, 21 October 2008 10:58 (seventeen years ago)

Alien Mindbender (Roberto Spiralli), Tuesday, 21 October 2008 12:52 (seventeen years ago)

Here's another clue for that other one - might be giving it away?

Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 21 October 2008 13:59 (seventeen years ago)

Alien Mindbender (Roberto Spiralli), Tuesday, 21 October 2008 14:15 (seventeen years ago)

is 35 kid chameleon?

it's been a while since i was in the thread so apologies if it's been guessed/is wrong

THERE IS NO VULCAN DEATH GRIP (Will M.), Tuesday, 21 October 2008 14:54 (seventeen years ago)

no, 35 is Wizkid

Ant Attack |=| (Ste), Tuesday, 21 October 2008 14:59 (seventeen years ago)

54 is Oblivion then (kind of obvious with that second shot)

Jeff LeVine, Tuesday, 21 October 2008 15:10 (seventeen years ago)

sigh, i need to play more games.

Ant Attack |=| (Ste), Tuesday, 21 October 2008 15:12 (seventeen years ago)

thank the lord, #54 is gone. i thought that one was going to get got straight away tbh.

Alien Mindbender (Roberto Spiralli), Tuesday, 21 October 2008 15:18 (seventeen years ago)

And I need to play more games outside of the 1990-1994 bracket, as I think they were the only ones I recognised.

CraigG, Tuesday, 21 October 2008 15:19 (seventeen years ago)

wizkid looks great

27 (still a bit mean, this one)

That looks like a photo, the grass seems too real to be a 3D effect.

allez, allons-y, on y va (ledge), Thursday, 23 October 2008 09:50 (seventeen years ago)

and is that some sort of gun for a fps game?

Ant Attack |=| (Ste), Thursday, 23 October 2008 10:15 (seventeen years ago)

ah, one of the weapons from Crysis?

snoball, Thursday, 23 October 2008 10:43 (seventeen years ago)

It's Call of Duty, someone actually sidingly said that way back upthread.

Ant Attack |=| (Ste), Thursday, 23 October 2008 10:53 (seventeen years ago)

Excellent call on Manic Miner. I think 27 might be an FPS of some sort - I see tracks and grass. a COD game perhaps?

― CraigG,

Ant Attack |=| (Ste), Thursday, 23 October 2008 10:56 (seventeen years ago)

lessee the whole pic!

allez, allons-y, on y va (ledge), Thursday, 23 October 2008 10:57 (seventeen years ago)

Ant Attack |=| (Ste), Thursday, 23 October 2008 10:58 (seventeen years ago)

amazing grass effects they can do these days eh, cough cough.

allez, allons-y, on y va (ledge), Thursday, 23 October 2008 11:00 (seventeen years ago)

42 and 43 still not got, 42 looks like something i have no clue about but 43 seems like one of those generic 3d polygon game on the amiga which were two a penny - so might be possible to figure out.

Ant Attack |=| (Ste), Thursday, 23 October 2008 12:54 (seventeen years ago)

#43 definitely one of those huge pile of Amiga/Atari ST "Starglider" clones.

snoball, Thursday, 23 October 2008 13:05 (seventeen years ago)

Got it. "Nova 9: Return of Gir Draxon"

snoball, Thursday, 23 October 2008 13:11 (seventeen years ago)

wow well done

Ant Attack |=| (Ste), Thursday, 23 October 2008 13:15 (seventeen years ago)

well done ste/craigg! : )

webinar, Thursday, 23 October 2008 13:16 (seventeen years ago)

(xpost) Thanks! Another wasted afternoon trawling Wikipedia/Mobygames/KLOV/MAWS/blah-de-blah!

snoball, Thursday, 23 October 2008 13:16 (seventeen years ago)

Bravo on Nova 9!!

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 23 October 2008 17:37 (seventeen years ago)

I knew it from the PC version - sequel to a similar game I never played called Stellar 7. Nova 9 was headache-inducing with awkward controls, but we had it so I played it, banging my head against the desk the whole time.

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 23 October 2008 17:37 (seventeen years ago)

"Gir Draxon" is also a great name for the villain.

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 23 October 2008 17:38 (seventeen years ago)
