Name the Game

Nah, it's called "research". It's only cheating if you google the actual image.

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

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.

Spot on.

Except this PC re-release (the screenshot is from the PC version) has a different title - bonus points if you can tell me that title.

Adventure in Serenia!

Heh I was too lazy to look up the name again, so I think josiah got this one!

Frodo · Tue 31/07/2018 10:24:34

Josiah gets the bonus points, and a cookie.

But Gilbert recognised it first, and got the original title, so I think the turn goes to him.

I think this is a bit obscure but I used to play it a lot and it's an insanely difficult game!

Dont know what game that is but looks fun depending on what you had to do. I am guessing some sort of Defender?

Gilbert · Wed 01/08/2018 02:14:23

This is not just a shooter.

milkanannan · Thu 02/08/2018 14:35:47

Is it a Soviet era game?

Gilbert · Fri 03/08/2018 03:24:17

Considering it's an Apple ][ games in the 80s, yes.

Chrille · Fri 03/08/2018 08:48:38

Project Space Station?

Gilbert · Mon 06/08/2018 02:11:54

Nope

Mandle · Mon 06/08/2018 11:57:57

Top Gun?

VampireWombat · Mon 06/08/2018 12:36:52

Go-Bots?

Gilbert · Mon 06/08/2018 18:20:34

No. I think it's not based on any pre-existing franchise, I think at least.
It's midnight here so I may post another shot tomorrow.
(Wasn't quite active in the past few days but my home system always shut down after a few minutes of activities, probably due to overheating in the hot summer. I've just cleaned the dust in the internal fans(especially the CPU one) and it seems to do the trick.)

Edit:
Here it is.

Something set on Mars?

Chrille · Wed 08/08/2018 00:37:07

Is it Captain Goodnight?

Gilbert · Wed 08/08/2018 01:58:35

Chrille got it!
Yeah of course it is Captain Goodnight.
It's a pity this game was kind of obscure, considering how diverse its gameplay was. Maybe being too hard (I never beat it) and not ported to other systems(I think) are part of the reasons few people heard of it.

CaptainD · Wed 08/08/2018 08:19:33

I have to admit that I've never heard of this one.

Perhaps an AGS remake is in order?

Chrille · Wed 08/08/2018 17:19:44

It had a look at a video and it seems like a cute little game.

Anyway, I couldn't think anything special so here's something fairly new:
