Mofo Rising

Alright! I knew my Williams S. Burroughs fascination would come in handy one day.

This next one is one of the very first computer games I ever remember playing, which means this game is over two decades old.



I think it's going to be difficult, but this thread has proved that assumption wrong time and time again. I'll post more hints if it looks like nobody is close.

Bonus Point: Which company released this "game"?
Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. It gets up and kills. The people it kills, get up and kill.

Cthulhu


Mofo Rising

Well, holy crap. I mistakenly thought that would be tough. Gertrude's Secrets it is. I played this game back on an Apple IIe when computers were a new thing in my school. I barely remember this game, since I was still in elementary school at the time. Cthulhu blew it out of the water.

Wait a minute!  We didn't get answer for the bonus point!  The company that made this game was The Learning Company!  Made some of my favorite games growing up, like Gizmoes & Gadgets.

We live in quite an interesting age. You can tell someone's sexual orientation and level of education from just their interests.

We'll, you know how it is. Evil will find a way. Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink. :teddyr:
Sorry It took me so long to get a picture, but I felt like s**t all day, and it kinda slipped out of my mind...

Damn, I know this one...but what's it's name?

venomx

Counter-Strike 1.0 or Desert Combat?

1st Counter-Strike?

Nope!  This game isn't nearly that good.

If no one can figure it out today, I'll post another photo and another hint tommorrow.
