Name the Game

After doing the logic thing, searching through all C16 games ever made, I think I found it...

Robo Knight?

CaptainD · Tue 13/09/2016 13:39:56

Yup, RoboKnight! For some reason I've never forgotten this game.

Your turn!

Ok, this one is easy, so I'm cropping it some:

Cho Aniki?

CaesarCub · Wed 14/09/2016 12:20:41

Technically it's the sequel, Ai Cho Aniki, but yeah, you are correct.

Shame, I wanted to get to post more of it's art, it's so original.

Ah, I've seen that game before.
I'm still not sure if it's a serious game or an attempt at satire. Either way, talk about the second gayest game I've ever seen.

What was the first?

The original Cho Aniki for PCE was actually more or less a port/homage/re-imaging/spiritual-successor/parody/whatever of Gynoug for the Mega Drive. They were made by the same people, but for some reason they added an intentionally lame plot to it and it worked, making it into a series, with weirder and weirder sequels. For example, Ai Cho Aniki is the first sequel (also for PCE), which instead of an ordinary shooter, they hyped up the ~~gay~~body-building aspect and introduced features like command driven special moves (think Street Fighter). The other games in the series just looked crappier (VERY probably intentional as well) and crappier (for example the games for the PS and Saturn used digitised graphics like Mortal Kombat).

Okay. Next!

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

Gilbert · Thu 15/09/2016 06:37:59

You're on the right track though.

Just to make life easier. This game was on the same platform as the last entry, and unlike the last one, (I think) this was released also in the west, and had connection to a certain big name, so it should be a relatively easy guess despite the obscurity of the game.

Amayirot Akago · Thu 15/09/2016 09:06:25

Syd Mead's Terraforming. Never knew before that he worked on any games for the Japanese market.

Gilbert · Thu 15/09/2016 09:13:57

Correct!

Just passed by his page in Wikipedia. Seems that he's involved in much more design works than one could expect.

Your turn.

Alright, have another cropped screenie of a guilty pleasure of mine

Mandle · Thu 15/09/2016 10:16:36

Harvest Moon?

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

Well, today is not that day, I'm afraid

Ooooh, very close, just gotta narrow it down a bit.

CaptainD · Thu 15/09/2016 10:50:14

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

Amayirot Akago · Thu 15/09/2016 11:28:56

Nope, it's not directly related to any of the movies.

Mandle · Thu 15/09/2016 14:51:47

That's Not A Harvest Moon!
