Name the Game

Space Quest style but not from Sierra.

Is this Decision of the elders? We need some hints...

Earthrise: A Guild Investigation

Kconan got it. He's up.

Purely because the portrait reminds me of Gil Gerrard, I'm going to say Buck Rogers!

Murders In Space

kconan · Mon 29/07/2013 09:34:22

Yea, that guy is Gil Gerrard-ish. Abstauber got it.

I just love the look of the early french titles from Infogrames, Exxos and Coktel

But let's continue with this one:

This has the look of a Cinemaware title... Kings of Chicago?

kconan · Mon 29/07/2013 10:28:23

I already did King of Chicago a while back, though technically mine was the CGA version. Hmmm...It does look like it.

abstauber · Mon 29/07/2013 10:38:05

Oh noes, another game collision - even though I didn't pick Fish

CaptainD is next.

CaptainD · Mon 29/07/2013 11:15:23

Yay, I finally got one!! (I did know Zak but someone else got there first.)

Anyway, here's a new one... not really sure how easy / difficult it will be. I'm going back to a game I really loved back on the ZX Spectrum many years ago... not an adventure game.

I thought "ZX Spectrum!" even before I read accompanying text.

Don't know the game though.

Did the colour clash give it away!

I never had a 8-bit computer so I don't know much about those games. I started my gaming career with Amiga 500.

miguel · Mon 29/07/2013 12:05:37

I played this game a lot but can't really remember the name...
I never got to do anything relevant in the game...
Ancient China...Nope

It's Tai Pan?

CaptainD · Mon 29/07/2013 12:07:47

Miguel has it! It was indeed Taipan by the awesome Ocean Software (not to be confused with the game of the same name that came out for the Apple II).

Fun fact for post-8-bit gamers: on the Speccy tape deck, this game took a full 5 minutes to load!

You're up Miguel!

miguel · Mon 29/07/2013 12:17:23

Yeah, it was a cool game for the time, you could sail from island to island and smuggle stuff...

Anyway, guess this one:

Just like Sims 3 these days.
