Name the Game

[Fitz]

YES!!! Just when I lost all hope -- and was, again, ready to declar myself a certified thread killer -- you come in and save the day!

OK, your turn! Give us some obscure, retro French game, will ya?

[Sephiroth]

I hope it's not too easy:

Judging by the lack of guesses, I'd say it's definitely not too easy!

Time for another screenie / clue perhaps?

[Sephiroth]

This is as suggested a not so obscure retro french game, from 1986, it's been released on amstrad cpc, c64 , dos, msx and zx spectrum.

It's been released in english of course, keeping the same name. There was a sequel that looks very similar , I'll accept any of the titles.

And here if you want another clue: (the last screenshot I have is almost an instant giveaway so I'll post it later if needed)

Damn... am I this old?

[Fitz]

I meant more like 1999-2000 retro -- because I knew a few from that time, mostly thanks to Game One, the French game channel that we got on our cable back in the day .

[Sephiroth]

Sight... I really like those investigation games. I'll give up tomorrow, wouldn't want to kill the thread.

[Crimson Wizard]

French investigation game? Ummm...

"Le Détective"
.

[Sephiroth]

Nice try, even spelled right

But the title is actually the name of the victim.

[Baron]

La Victime!

[Sephiroth]

Not bad, but still not it

A final clue, the title is also the name of a Mexican state in the east.

Word Rescue.

I remember I played it to death when I was a kid.

[Babar]

I was more a Math Rescue kid . Helped me recognise the shot enough to figure it was probably by the same company.

[Gurok]

Correct, it's Word Rescue! Well done, cacaro.
