"I'm really having trouble getting into this new icon-based interface."

As the titular captain got weaker, the hand/arm (which you control) gets shakier and shakier.

i never got anywhere on that goddamn game but i was in love with it

the league against cool sports (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 16 May 2013 21:23 (ten years ago) link

Read that on wikipedia today and I immediately thought "worst most annoying game mechanic ever". Don't think I ever played it enough to get that far myself.

xp - yeah definitely one of those games that has stuck in my mind in some weird way.

#68 ditto http://i38.tinypic.com/sotkwl.jpg

92 isn't carmageddon is it

the bitcoin comic (thomp), Thursday, 16 May 2013 23:07 (ten years ago) link

nope

AMERICA IS ABOUT RIESLING (jjjusten), Thursday, 16 May 2013 23:10 (ten years ago) link

Painfully familiar.

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 16 May 2013 23:49 (ten years ago) link

is 92 Interstate '76?

Nhex, Friday, 17 May 2013 04:47 (ten years ago) link

^^^ was going to say this, but the graphics look way too detailed for it to be that?

go cray cray on my lobster soufflé (snoball), Friday, 17 May 2013 07:34 (ten years ago) link

is #92 Destruction Derby?

Also Should I just say what #7 is or do people wanna do another rd of guessing?

(Also I can tell #68)

I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Friday, 17 May 2013 12:55 (ten years ago) link

After four and a half years I don't think anyone's going to get #7, but it's your call.

go cray cray on my lobster soufflé (snoball), Friday, 17 May 2013 13:32 (ten years ago) link

back then, google image search didn't exist (i cheated, was too curious)

Nhex, Friday, 17 May 2013 13:39 (ten years ago) link

Not sure google image search was so savvy four and a half years ago... (hint hint)

xp!

I spent so much time playing & failing at this game as a kid. That's #7 btw.

It is more thna possible that nobody else has ever heard of it though :(

I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Friday, 17 May 2013 13:59 (ten years ago) link

A years-long mystery revealed! Would never have gotten that in a million ages. Kind of amazing how different the title screen and in-game graphics are...I know that's not so uncommon in games but it really feels severe here.

Doctor Casino, Friday, 17 May 2013 16:53 (ten years ago) link

I agree, I was shocked to see the difference

This one might be easy but I love this picture

I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Friday, 17 May 2013 19:43 (ten years ago) link

super off road?

Nhex, Friday, 17 May 2013 20:00 (ten years ago) link

this is probably easy too, but how about it: http://i.imgur.com/MgBk3ng.png

precious bonsai children of new york (Jordan), Friday, 17 May 2013 20:08 (ten years ago) link

lolz. I totally recognise #87 but just can't get the name yet

These are my every day balloons (Ste), Wednesday, 22 May 2013 18:27 (ten years ago) link

Is it something like Fiendish Freddy's Circus?

These are my every day balloons (Ste), Wednesday, 22 May 2013 18:28 (ten years ago) link

i could just look that up couldn't i

These are my every day balloons (Ste), Wednesday, 22 May 2013 18:28 (ten years ago) link

ah close. Fiendish Freddys Big Top o Fun.

Okay I looked up half the name, but I totally knew the Fiendish Freddy part honestly!

These are my every day balloons (Ste), Wednesday, 22 May 2013 18:30 (ten years ago) link

Ding ding ding! That is correct.

It's something I only ever had as one of those early CD-ROMs that promised hundreds of 'games' on one disk. Serious first-generation CD-ROM stuff - we had to put the CDs in a special caddy that you then inserted into the drive. Most of this experience involved loading and then quickly rejecting terrible-looking or just baffling CGA games without instructions or clear objectives, so this was probably one of the top-tier games on the disk, to be honest.

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 22 May 2013 18:31 (ten years ago) link

I was just watching the game on youtube, sooo typically Amiga.

is #92 a Twisted Metal game?

These are my every day balloons (Ste), Wednesday, 22 May 2013 18:33 (ten years ago) link

i guess mine is #95?

precious bonsai children of new york (Jordan), Wednesday, 22 May 2013 18:38 (ten years ago) link

92 isnt a twisted metal game, but it is from the ps2/xbox generation if that helps. was crossplatform for those, but never avail on pc iirc.

O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Wednesday, 22 May 2013 18:40 (ten years ago) link

was counting this way:

93 is statue of frozen princess or whatever?
94 flying toyota truck
95 gibson normal henley lasergun

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 22 May 2013 18:41 (ten years ago) link

95: wasteland?

Mordy , Wednesday, 22 May 2013 18:47 (ten years ago) link

nope

precious bonsai children of new york (Jordan), Wednesday, 22 May 2013 18:48 (ten years ago) link

i was convinced that 95 was an aliens game i played back on the c64 but it totally isnt. i dont think.

O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Wednesday, 22 May 2013 18:52 (ten years ago) link

it was driving me nuts so i found it through cheap googling, won't spoil though

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 22 May 2013 18:56 (ten years ago) link

95 was Super Off Road, or Iron Mans off road watev. That Nhex got anyway

These are my every day balloons (Ste), Wednesday, 22 May 2013 19:00 (ten years ago) link

urgh 94 sorry

These are my every day balloons (Ste), Wednesday, 22 May 2013 19:02 (ten years ago) link

is 93 Shadowgate? Graphics look a little too good...

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 22 May 2013 19:02 (ten years ago) link

i knew super off road, classic game btw, but i don't recognize any of the other new ones even slightly. i am going to assume they are all nintendo games.

Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 22 May 2013 19:03 (ten years ago) link

here's another shot for my #92
