Name That Video Game.

[venomx]

Name that video game ...

But just a few rules, please post a hint or hints, and after 3 days "post time", please tell what the game is if no one can guess it. You get 3 points. Please and thank you.

More - You can add Bonus Point questions if you want to as well. You can post more then just 1 photo of the same game "for extra help" if you want to, maybe even part of the box cover art ... have fun, keep it clean.

PS - If you want to guess the current game and lets say you get it correct but you don't want to post a turn, thats cool just wait for confirm and for your turn just type I pass and anyone can grab a turn.

I will will try to keep a point system. 1 point for correct name of game, and 2 points for Bonus Point questions.

NEW RULE
* Anyone can post a game photo, but the current guess photo has to be solved 1st.

NEW RULE
* If you guess 3 in a row you get the "3 in a row, good eye award" = 3 Bonus points ftw!


I will start with an easy one.

Hints - Release dates - 1985 Mac, 1987 DOS, 1990 NES. Point and click game.


This is part of the box cover.


Bonus Point - What is the main character's name?

[Mofo Rising]

Good idea for a game.

Your game has to be Deja Vu. No idea what the character's name is.

[venomx]

Thanks Mofo, Correct Deja Vu ... The character's name was "Ace"

Your up Mofo!

Game points total-

Alright, not sure if this is going to be somewhat hard or very easy.

This entry into a very popular series is one of the very first PC games I ever played.



Bonus Point - What was the name of the villain who stalked the lead character throughout the game? You'd have to be pretty nerdy to remember it, I had to look it up myself. (Of course, the answer is obvious in retrospect.)

[Cthulhu]

That's space quest 3!
And the villain's name is Vohaul. I think.

[Mofo Rising]

It is indeed Space Quest 3: The Pirates of Pestulon.

The villain's name was not Vohaul, though. That was the villain in Space Quest II. The Terminator-esque character in the third installment was Arnoid.

You're up next, Cthulhu.

Game points!
Cthulhu - 1
Mofo Rising - 1

(I'm sure we could keep a running total at the end of every successful post. Not sure it's necessary, but it might be fun.)

[Cthulhu]

[Rev. Powell]

Unbelievable!  I hardly play video games at all, but that happens to be one of the very few I've actually played.

PLANESCAPE: TORMENT.

I probably would have missed the bonus question anyway.

Planescape: Torment it is!
I couldn't think of a bonus question, so I figured the picture will be enough.

You're next!

[Rev. Powell]

Awright!


I don't think it needs a hint right away... OK, a very little one.  This screenshot is from the 4th edition of this game, and its the PC version. 

BONUS QUESTION:  What's the combat strength of the guy with the axe there?   

[venomx]

Civilization 4

Bonus Point question ... 5? max.

[Rev. Powell]

Civilization 4

Bonus Point question ... 5? max.

Correct on both counts!  Although now that I think about it the bonus question was both too easy and ambiguous... I meant the strength of the unit, unpromoted, which is the answer you gave, so you get the points and the next turn.

Venomx - 3

Cthulhu - 1

Cool, thanks!
