Name the Game

Buck Rogers?

CaptainD · Tue 12/12/2017 09:04:54

Nope - think comics rather than TV.

Mandle · Tue 12/12/2017 09:22:57

Hmmmm... a comic character in a purple and green jumpsuit with what looks like a big gun, a helmet, and a jetpack fighting aliens?!

Ermmmm...

(I suspect the "tries" image of the closeup of the character is a big clue but I honestly cannot get a visual read on what their face is supposed to look like inside the helmet. I dunno if the black area is hair, an eyepatch, or some kind of visor/heads-up-display, or what. I suppose it makes sense it you know who it's supposed to be but not in reverse...)

CaptainD · Tue 12/12/2017 10:37:24

I think Mandle may be reading too much into the "Tries" thing (unless I'm not reading enough into it?!?)

This should give it away - at least the character (it's not the first in the series):

Buck Rogers started off as a book (well two stories that were eventually compiled into a book), then got popularised as a comic. Long before becoming a TV show.

Um... Captain Comic?

You live and learn! It's all about Gil Gerard and Erin Grey to me, I've never seen Buck Rogers in book or comic form.

Incidentally, the name of the eponymous character in this game rhymes with your user name! (Depending on exactly how you pronounce the second part...)

Frodo · Tue 12/12/2017 14:30:19

Dan Dare?

dayowlron · Tue 12/12/2017 14:30:39

I am not sure when the comics or book came about but there was a movie called Buck Rogers in 1939.

CaptainD · Tue 12/12/2017 14:43:26

Frodo's got it - or at least most of it. This was Dan Dare III on the ST.

The first story was published in 1928. The first comic strip was released the next year.

Feeling peckish?

Frodo · Wed 13/12/2017 00:20:12

That was quick

Well done Amayirot, you got it right on the first guess. Your turn now.

Spoiler

Do you think poor Curtis is having a bad day?

Well then, going from one FMV adventure to another

Danvzare · Wed 13/12/2017 11:37:25

Psycho Killer?

Amayirot Akago · Wed 13/12/2017 13:21:33

Bingo

Danvzare · Thu 14/12/2017 13:09:17

Here's a nice easy one:

Definitely a Spyro game, not sure of which one specifically though.

Ben X · Thu 14/12/2017 18:20:42

The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning?

Danvzare · Thu 14/12/2017 19:51:43

Nope.
And even though it's easy, it's not that easy.
