Name the Game

[Gribbler]

HINT: It's a horror game.

[qptain Nemo]

hint: it's The Lost Crown: A Ghost-Hunting Adventure

[Gribbler]

Hints please Or other screenie

[qptain Nemo]

NO!



Alright. So... it's an RPG. It's quite unexpectedly humourous and interesting. I say unexpectedly because the theme of the game is something countless other games have played with a straight face and done it to death. A part of the name of the theme is also a part of the name of the game.

Not Another War game!

[Grim]

Allo' Allo': The Adventure Game!;)

[CaptainD]

No idea what it is, but it certainly looks interesting!

[qptain Nemo]

Not Another War game!

Aye! Your turn.

[Tramponline]

That game really does look interesting. 2nd World War theme and humourous elements, now that's daring. I like it.

One more for Grim: HORROR! As far as I can remember, probably the first game in that genre that I've played.
It scared the bejesus out of me!!

(Just realized it's a screen-cap of the German language version - sorry about that - google's fault!
The status bars indicate the level of hunger (that one was easy...), thirst and body).

[CaptainD]

Hmm... not one I played, but I remember a first-person adventure/RPG Zombie attack game coming out on the 16-bits... would that be it?  (Yes I realise I haven't named the game! )

[Gribbler]

Zombi? I pass my turn to Captain if I'm correct

Is that Alf on the screen?

[Tramponline]

Is that Alf on the screen?

Yep, that's him alright.   Great help in order to narrow down the game's year of release. Supposedly the game was available for the PC & Amiga, but
I've never ever seen any other version than the Commodore 64 one - not even in screenshots...

edit: Sorry, didn't see your answer there Gribbler. Dude, are you reading my mind?! 'Zombi' was my first choice, but then I went with this one instead, since Zombi is a bit plain
colorwise...

All of you are on the right track. The game's not zombie exclusive though...

[Gribbler]

Dude, are you reading my mind?!

That is correct, pal. Immediately transfer 10.000 dollars onto below account or I will tell everybody here what you think of doing when you're home alone in front of a computer. You naughty naughty boy.

Spoiler

Just kidding

Is that Alf on the screen?

That's Alf all right... I'm racking my brain trying to think how a game that features Alf can be considered scary! Speaking of Alf, he had his own adventure game back in the day if I remember correctly.

...or I will tell everybody here what you think of doing when you're home alone in front of a computer.

Don't be cruel Gribbler!! There's a good chance someone's brain might explode or for people to start bleeding from their ears, simply due to nonsense overflow!

You naughty naughty boy.

Yep that's me alright!


Don't get too hung up on the whole ALF thing. It's the inside of a cinema with ALF up on screen, he's just an 'easter egg' (...you blow up that same cinema later on in the game!)
ALF is really just a good indicator around what time this game came out.

Here's the title screen (without the title obviously! ):
   

[Gribbler]

Lords of Doom!!

[Tramponline]

You took your sweet time! Yes, Gribbler got it:

Lords of Doom (1990)

I saw this cover back then and I just had to buy that game.

Your go, sir!

[Gribbler]

Just a fraction of the screen to make it oh sooooo tough:

It's your M to the Onkey and you know it two! Shizzle-fizzle and all that jiving drizzle...eh!?

Can you dig it?*

(* Sorry fellas....watched "The Warriors" again the other day and you all have to suffer for it! Now quit that jivin'!)
