The Constant Gardener?

Lords of Midnight?

Er... hm... looks like Speccy graphics to me

It did to me too, but there's way too many colours there.
It looks more EGA to me, but even then it looks as though it has too many colours.

And seeing the latest screenshot. Yep, I've never seen that game before in my life. Unless it's a port or something.

Yeah I should have enlarged it, didn't realise there were so many shades of green in there!

Having seen the other screenshot I have absolutely no idea.

Er... hm... looks like Speccy graphics to me, could be wrong of course... Attic Attack?

Feud?

No... maybe more like... Ghosts and Goblins?

Is it that SEGA game set on a space ship with DJs or something?  Can't remember what it's called.

Return to The Planet of the Apes?

Nope and nope...

Okay so how long before you put a proper screenshot up?

Fashionista Extravaganza: Black is the new Black?

Black Cauldron?

@CaptainD about RoboKnight...

Oh dear! That screen awaken a memory about a game I used to play a lot! Had completely forgotten about it! Thanks for the wake up call! I just spent the last 2 days trying to figure out the name, found it a couple hours ago... and went down memory lane with a couple other games! Thanks! Even if I never even heard of RoboKnight before this!

Haha maybe we're both showing our age...

Well we do have sun here and volvo is no longer owned by swedes but i totally understand your way of thinking haha

Well I did learn to drive 20 years ago...

Speaking of cars some more, it grinds my gears that some people have their headlights on when it's a bright and sunny morning...

Are they Volvos, by any chance? I'm sure I'll be corrected but I heard Volvos always have their headlights in because they are from Sweden, where the sun don't shine.

Yeah I learned to drive in a Volvo, and you couldn't turn the headlights off.  Same for Saab I think.  Can't remember if it was only Swedish cars though.

As it's clearly an older game, perhaps Return of the Jedi? 

Harvest Moon?

(Yes, I'm gonna keep guessing that until one day it's right...)

Harvest Moon is to Mandle what Blade Runner is to Ponch...

Apart from it looking like a horizontal shooter, I really have no idea.

That's one of my least favorite Disney animated features! I hate how it completely ditches all the coolest bits from the Jungle Book stories, how it's all just a long sequence of "and then Mowgli runs into some other wacky characters", the utterly underwhelming ending (with Shere Khan just running away after a short squabble) and the lazy recycling of the same animation over and over within the film (particularly egregious with Kaa and the elephants).

It's hard to rationalise sometimes why you love a movie that you have loved since you were a kid - also whether you have read the book before or after seeing the movie makes a big difference.  I've always loved Phil Harris' voicing, Louis Prima's singing, the songs in general and the personality clash of Baloo and Bagheera.  Perhaps not the best if you look at it analytically, but it will always have a special place in my heart.

There was a Winnie the Pooh movie after that. It flew under the radar for some reason.

Oh yeah forgot the Winne the Pooh movie.  I want to see that, although mainly because I know my kids will love it.  I've got the book of the movie which they enjoy having read to them, but it's basically recycling stuff from the old stories.  I seem to remember someone was tasked with creating new stories for the 100 Acre Wood gang, I wonder if any of those got made into animated films?

There were 6 more. Rremember Wreck-It Ralph?

2D!

Was "The Princess and the Frog" in 2009 the last 2D animated movie Disney did?  (That one was very good, but I can't remember any others since then.)
