Name the Game

Yep, it's from Henry's House, a C64 game I loved as a child, one of the earliest games I ever played. As you can see, I gave that portion a makeover whilst keeping the original resolution.

And back to using screenshots.

The Gene Machine.

Remember playing it on my good ol' PC, though I was a bit too young to fully understand everything, heh.

Frodo · Fri 27/07/2018 06:52:55

Damn, that was quick.

Over to you, Crash.

CrashPL · Fri 27/07/2018 07:23:04

Whee.

Here's a classic that will always have a special place in my heart.

Frodo · Fri 27/07/2018 09:35:36

Don't know what the game is, but that's a funky door!

Vaguely reminds me of Amerzone.

Close, it's also a first person point and click adventure.

Would never have guessed it from the first image but pretty sure that robot is from The Journeyman Project.

Yes sir! That's Journeyman Project 1, alright.

It was the very first PC game I've ever played. Man, it was seriously impressive back then.
Over to you, Chrille.

Chrille · Sat 28/07/2018 23:56:51

It was one of the first cd-rom games I played too. There wasn't much gameplay, but I remember being impressed by the robots at least

Here's another part of the gui, showing the main window would give it away immediately I'm sure:

I don't know why, but I somehow knew to guess Blake Stone.
I don't even remember actually playing the thing.

Chrille · Sun 29/07/2018 14:48:49

Correct!

Ooh, one of my favourite games for the good old Spectrum.

Solomon's Key.

VampireWombat · Sun 29/07/2018 15:50:31

I only played the NES version.
But correct.

Frodo · Sun 29/07/2018 18:16:54

Yippee

I just had a turn recently, so anyone can take my turn.

Frodo · Mon 30/07/2018 22:51:19

Okay, I got one.

Hmmm no idea, but judging from the (fantasy?) setting it may be one of those text adventures Roberta Williams made before making KQ1.
Edit:

Spoiler

Ah well. Indeed it is. It is The Wizard and the Princess, the second game in the Hi-Res Adventure series(the first being Mystery House). Checking for games created by Roberta Williams before KQ1 in mobygames gave the answer immediately. I hope this is not cheating.
