Name the Game

Wow guess I forgot how pixelated the graphics were even as late as KQ4! I loved those games though.

Danvzare got it! King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella, and that darn whale's tongue.

Whoa! Seriously?
That was a total shot in the dark that I made simply because manifest class thought it might have been KQ3, and I figured that this was clearly not an AGI game, and I knew that KQ4 was an EGA SCI game.

Sometimes I impress even myself.

This should be an easy one.

LCP! Little Computer People! I love watching the silly little character do things.

I only know the version with better graphics, so I'll wait for you to confirm my guess correct, but I think that's the one.

Nope. Not even close.

Although I do know the game you're talking about. It is a good game. But it's not this game.

Feel like I should know this one but can't dredge a name out of the old memory.

What?! Jeez was so sure I got that one.

If you didn't know this already though, there WAS an AGI version of KQ4.

Yep, I knew that.

Here's another screenie.
I guess I chose a much more obscure game than I first thought.

Ben X · Mon 25/09/2017 14:12:42

I actually found this from googling the text (which as far as I'm aware is allowed unless the person posting the pic forbids it because it's a text adventure or something), but wanted to see if anyone knew it.

Apparently not, so it's Pyjamarama, for the ZX Spectrum amongst others.

Ben X · Mon 25/09/2017 14:22:13

Here's one that I'm currently playing:

Condemned?

Ben X · Mon 25/09/2017 18:50:45

Yep! If no one got it I would have gone for a more classic 'hitting hobo with pipe' shot.

lorenzo · Mon 25/09/2017 19:34:35

It has been some time since I played that game. Is that the guy you had to beat in a farm in one the last levels, or something like that?

Here's the next one:

Gurok · Mon 25/09/2017 19:50:50

I have this one on CD somewhere. It's called something like "Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective".

lorenzo · Mon 25/09/2017 20:04:43

Right!

It has some terrible acting, but an amazing "wait" cursor:

Yeah, that's him, he's the end of game baddy. Pain in the arse, you have to have the exact same fight with him three times in a row.

Gurok · Mon 25/09/2017 20:32:59

Hahaha! Yes, but it had acting! I remember thinking the video was so great. I bet if I look back at it now, it'll be even more macroblocked than Mad Dog McCree.

It doesn't have to be PC, right? Here's one I've been playing a lot of lately:

Such a love-hate relationship with this game. Yeah the half-video half-cartoon thing was weird and I hated having the same conversation with people over and over, but at that time video was so rare in a game it this title instantly won points with me for being original in that regard.

Not Diner Dash. Here's a screenshot from the other screen:
