Name the Game

It reminds me of Ghostbusters I used to play on Atari. Is it from some newer version?

Alright ya nerds, you want nostalgia? Have some nostalgia:

I wanted so bad to love this game, but the insane difficulty combined with the clunkiest controls ever made it impossible for me to ever finish it

Mandle · Wed 06/11/2019 08:40:15

Oh, damn... I played that! But can't remember the name.

It's not that game I've heard about often but never played is it... La abadÃa del crimen? (The Abbey of Crime)

Oh hey, you even got the accent in "abadÃa" right!

But nope, it's not that one (La AbadÃa del Crimen used isometric perspective, with a very similar aesthetic to Fairlight.)

Is this possibly an educational game played in schools in the 80's? Shoot, I think the name was Math Caves or Math Castle?

Laura Hunt · Wed 06/11/2019 13:16:02

lol not even CLOSE

milkanannan · Wed 06/11/2019 13:19:39

Just doing my part to narrow down the answer. OK no math in this one, people!

abstauber · Wed 06/11/2019 14:23:45

I wish I had a speccy back then... it's Dragontorc.

And we have a winner! Well done, your turn!

Yay again.

How about this rather obscure game on an even more obscure platform.

Mandle · Thu 07/11/2019 09:56:19

Something from a laser disc system?

abstauber · Thu 07/11/2019 10:19:02

yep, but it also got a home release with a different name. And the anime it's based on, has a completely different name

Atavismus · Wed 13/11/2019 20:32:00

It reminds me of Albator.

morganw · Wed 13/11/2019 22:46:18

Santa, Texas Ranger

abstauber · Thu 14/11/2019 14:49:12

Nope and nope.

Hint: It's one of the few decent games on a home console which is known as one of the worst.

Is it a 32-bit console?

abstauber · Thu 14/11/2019 15:42:55

technically yes, but it's Motoroloa 68k based, so it's more like 16/32 bits.

morganw · Thu 14/11/2019 15:49:41

I'm thinking CD-i, but I don't know any games for it. The video quality looks too good for anything that was cheaper and also using 68k.
