Nobody?

Here's another shot.

Seems to have an oedipal theme

Frodo · Fri 15/05/2020 22:29:37

Hehe, hadn't thought about that.

Sadly, no, that's not the theme.

KyriakosCH · Sat 16/05/2020 04:45:07

Robocomb?

Frodo · Sat 16/05/2020 12:04:43

Nope

KyriakosCH · Sat 16/05/2020 17:00:12

Hm, wait... He has to rescue those mustachioed gentlemen? I thought their bowties were actually dynamite vests!!

Frodo · Sun 17/05/2020 00:03:51

Lol, yeah he's there to rescue as many men as possible.

He wants to steal all their bowties.

The main character looks like Alex Kidd if he was drawn by Jim Davis.

KyriakosCH · Sun 17/05/2020 01:49:27

In the old days you'd get all sorts of small company demo games with pc magazines. I suppose this fits that mold...

Frodo · Sun 17/05/2020 02:24:47

Mandle, not Alex Kidd

Kyria, no, it's a full game you could buy in a shop. It's not a demo from a magazine.

According to MobyGames, it was released on Amiga, DOS (the version I have), Game Gear, Genesis, and SNES.

Frodo · Mon 18/05/2020 18:34:29

More little men in bowties to save.

EDIT: It's a puzzle game from 1993

James Bow?

Muzzle impossible?

The Trusst?

Bind-Off?

I am out of bad puns

Frodo · Tue 19/05/2020 19:20:52

Love those puns, Kyria.

KyriakosCH · Tue 19/05/2020 20:24:29

Was it by a german company, then?

Frodo · Tue 19/05/2020 20:35:56

No, they're UK.

Frodo · Fri 22/05/2020 08:06:51

Wow, this one has you all stumped.

It's a puzzle game. You have to rescue passengers from a ship that's slowly sinking.

Frodo · Sun 24/05/2020 09:50:34

Big clue here. It's from Zeppelin Games.

Mandle · Sun 24/05/2020 11:26:59

"Sink Or Swim", after a google search of "Zeppelin Games Sinking Ship"

We have a winner.

Can't believe no-one else knows this game.

I'll get a new pic up tomorrow.
