Name the Game

Frodo · Sun 04/09/2022 04:58:46

Escape From Hell?

Volcan · Sun 04/09/2022 22:29:32

That's right.

You turn.

Frodo · Thu 15/09/2022 17:00:44

Sorry for the delay, I've been busy.

Anyway, who recognises this little gem?

Hmm... Ozzy Mandril and the Quantum Playwright? I may not have got the name quite right.

Wow, that was quick!

Now, should I be really mean, and tell you to put the *EXACT* title? *rubs hands menacingly*
Or should I just tell you that the 'Mandril' isn't necessary?
Decisions, decisions.

Hehe, just kidding. Over to you, Captain. Well done.

I knew I recognised that screen and Will Shakespeare pushed me in the right direction!

I played it many years ago but at the time I thought it was the most impressive freeware adventure game I'd ever seen. Pretty sure I never completed it though and was never quite sure if the "insert disk" message you got at one part of the game was a joke or because the game wasn't actually finished?!

Anyway let's see if anyone knows this one...

Frodo · Fri 16/09/2022 16:55:43

Ooh, excellent game, Captain.

I'm not going to name it because I just had a turn. But I really enjoyed playing it.

Mad Dog Williams?

CaptainD · Thu 22/09/2022 20:03:01

Not Mad Dog. Much, much more recent.

Here's another screenshot:

It's the famous Lankhor classic, the Eruption Without!

CaptainD · Thu 22/09/2022 20:57:00

Indeed, it is The Corruption Within, me being a little sneaky as I was the writer / designer for that game.

Hats off to the writer \ designer.

Creamy · Thu 22/09/2022 23:00:30

My turn then?

TheFrighter · Fri 23/09/2022 08:30:22

Maybe a Castlevania game?

No, it's an adventure game.

milkanannan · Sun 25/09/2022 03:10:51

Perhaps Dragonsphere?

Frodo · Sun 25/09/2022 03:27:19

Gotea?

Creamy · Sun 25/09/2022 09:02:13

That's Goetia.
You play as a spirit - the white orb - investigating events of the past in an abandoned mansion.

Well done Frodo.

Frodo · Sun 25/09/2022 17:54:41

Sorry, I don't have anything at the moment.
Who wants my turn?

TheFrighter · Mon 26/09/2022 08:40:29

Take it!

An old game:
