Okay since no-one seems to want to take over the mantle for now, here's one from an obvious guess but only a small part of the screen so maybe, just maybe, not quite so obvious (though it probably will be to someone!).

[Space Demons]

Aurgh I can't stand it any longer!!!  It's "Space Demons".  But as I cheated, someone else take my go.

I finally found it on a webpage about obscure Nintendo games (so clearly I cannot now answer!).  To be fair to me it did mention both Galaxians and Galaga in the short description of the game.

Not sure I know many obscure 8-bit shmups!! - only thing I can think of is Galaga.

What's bugging me is that for some reason the ship design rings a bell...

Mouth FOR war if i may!!!!!!!!!

Don't exactly recognise it but looks like something along the lines of Galaxians, maybe on an Atari 8-bit.

[your turn]

Calling Mouth of War... your turn!

C64 version of Gauntlet perhaps?

Maybe Drakkhen?

You're right CaptainD, this thread is too good to let it die.
I propose Parasol Stars (sequel of Rainbow Islands).

You're exactly right!  (I know the character and parasol were a bit of a giveaway, but I wanted a nice easy one to start the ball rolling again.. )

Hope no-one minds, but I've taken it upon myself to start afresh here.  So here's probably my all-time favourite platformer from the 16-bit age:

I have no idea what game that is, but please... don't let this thread die!!

Don't recognise it but the dude with the guns looks like Wolverine to maybe an X-Men game?

[Return to Fractalis]

Return to Fractalis.

(No I don't really think it's that. But I wanted to guess it anyway! )

Greetings ViKing Games and janocli!!  Look forward to seeing what you come up with (and intrigued to see how ViKing animates his invisible characters ).

Blare Runner?

(No, seriously... is this the guy who makes eyes?)

I wish people posted about sci-fi movies starring Harrison Ford except Star Wars.

Ender's Game?

Heh, I was kind of expecting someone to guess Frazier, The Movie

Okay, you're up!

Okay sorry about the delay, here's a new one...

[Walkabout]

Hmm... is that a young Jenny Agutter?  I think this is Walkabout.  Probably just after pa shot himself.

Sorry dude I'm getting the feeling that I've never seen or heard of this game.  Even Gribbler doesn't seem to know it!  (Therefore, it probably doesn't actually exist. )
