Name the Game

Pogwizd · Tue 12/05/2020 10:29:09

I don't want to kill the thread off, so here is a little tip: it's a Finnish shareware game and it's named after a type of a plane used in the years of WW1.

Ugh now you're testing my knowledge of WWI aircraft?

Sopwith Camel?

QuoteSopwith Camel?

No, but in the '80s there was a game called "Sopwith", which "my" game was based on.

I doubt you could. It always comes back, even after months of laying dead and rotting. We tried shooting it in the head. We tried the stake through the heart...

NOTHING WILL KILL IT!!!

True enough. It has a life of its own..

In the meantime, because I think it was vaguely the right time period, I'm going to guess at Tiger Moth?

EDIT - ah scratch that just looked it up, only produced from the 1930s.

Where's the Biggles Compendium I had when I was a kid? I bet the right plane is in there somewhere!!

QuoteTiger Moth

No. It's more of a name of the type/kind/sort of the plane and not its make.

QuoteNOTHING WILL KILL IT!!!

If that's the case, no more tips (for now).

Biplane?

Pogwizd · Tue 12/05/2020 12:32:29

QuoteBiplane

Almost - wrong number of wings.

CaptainD · Tue 12/05/2020 12:40:06

Well then I guess Triplane?!?

I feel quite exhausted...

Pogwizd · Tue 12/05/2020 12:52:35

QuoteTriplane

Correct!

The actual title is "Triplane Turmoil" but back in the day we would simply call it "Triplane".

Your turn

CaptainD · Tue 12/05/2020 13:35:51

Hurrah!

That was a tough one.

Let's see how quickly this goes... it's probably quite easy but I've given you only part of the screenshot so the main character isn't in it, and taken a name out of the speech bubble...

Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet?

Yes! That was some fast recognition there.

To be honest I haven't played the game yet but it was easy to guess due to its characteristic artstyle

Next game:

Donkey Kongcraft?

Pogwizd · Tue 12/05/2020 16:29:07

QuoteDonkey Kongcraft?

No. It was quite a hybrid in my opinion, as it combined elements of both rts and puzzle games.

Frodo · Wed 13/05/2020 19:19:02

I love this game! It's Gruntz!

Let's play with some toyz.

QuoteI love this game! It's Gruntz!

Good to know I am not the only one

Your turn.

Frodo · Wed 13/05/2020 19:50:52

Okay, next game.
