Best of luck to all our members and readers and have fun

Nice

Very nice!

hmmmm this one sure starts harder then the first one.

im not gonna post any hints , but i solve what game that is 1 second after looking at it . Cheers and best luck to all .

I only realized what the image was afterwards. It was the audio that triggered my memory.

hehe i dint see that ther was audio , but YES , the audio is unmisable.

I think i wasen't born when this game was made rofl

see all these old games looked and sounded thesame to me, horrible midi synth and graphics that could almost be interchanged, and here i was hoping i had a chance lol

When the contest is over. I'll post a link to the demo so you can all enjoy.

Mate you dont know how wrong you are with this , belive me .

Yep Unix , good idea , we gonna post the Demo for the youngster to see what it was back then.

well ive played quite a few, the whole final fatasy series, cronotrigger, zelda, quite a few others, and mind you im no 8bit midi music fanatic it all sounds pretty much thesame to, different notes sames crummy syth, and as for the graphics, asside from a few most of them look thesame with different colors and shaped buildings

anyways, good games but i think the only sound i could destiguish would be the ff victory tune lol

Good plan it was definitely a great game much like the game you and Gen told me about which I am planning to get back to this weekend

Really ? I found it real easy to guess.

I had an idea that it was probably this game from seeing the image and as soon as the sound started playing I was certain.

If you have ever played this game you would remember too .. it's hard to forget.
Awesome game .. after the contest is over and the name is revealed I suggest you and others who haven't played it try it out.

well guess i might have not played that one if its that obvious music does sound kind of familiar but other then guesses i dont have much ... guess ill wait for those clues down the line and maybe they will clear things up abit more

omg from where did you dig up this old game

Shame we can't write clues here .. I can think of so many good ones , it's killing me.
On the other hand , with fewer people being able to guess the game , I stand a much better chance of winning.

right less ppl know better chance you get to win but then i aint so sure reg will be thrilled of a too small pool of guessers thats why i guess he said he would drop some clues. but who known maybe imm wrong hope for you that i am

How about this for all of you Gen-x gamer n00bs. I have the box, the 5.25in Floppy, the instructions, the registration card, AND the "copy protection" that came with it.

(as gay as it sounds, I still have all of my old game boxes and their contents)

I may have to consolidate though... moving in with my gf is going to severely hamper my ability to have shelves of all the game boxes on display.

I even have the 256 Color version of Leisure Suit Larry 1

Doc

PS: I must say that the image was difficult, but as soon as the song started, I mean the second that the first note played... I knew what game it was. Everyone is dead on... this game was THE SHIZNIT back in the day. I mean seriously... the first real story driven game.

and you are adresing who as a Gen-x gamer n00b????
strange someone is trying to be a hot shot

p.s.if you dont have anything smart to say just dont say anything (anyway no fucking tips)

Yep Rage he come here blasting his shit like ...... chill kid we know its great , and you just given tip .

Tip? what tip ? lol must be blind or something

Damned I first thought i was gonna have a new free_gpu but well..

"Think again Bro" said my little_voice_inside_my_head

I don't have any freaking Idea about what's that game...my oldest game is Combat Flight

Simulator II ...

Damned...

did i win yet?

You guys are kidding right...? Maybe you guys need to stop taking whatever drugs you guys are on, and chill. It was meant in jest... maybe you all need to stop acting like "hot shots". I'd like to know when n00b became an offensive term. Quit taking yourselves so serious and chill.

First off, unless you're my grandfathers age, I ain't your kid.

Secondly... where's the tip? Tip? What tip? Copy protection??? You mean like Zak McKracken, Mines of Titan, and several other hundreds of 5.25in Floppy based games that had that type of copy protection?!?!?! Jesus, seriously... you're really showing your generation now.

Again i culd only say , chill kid ( term "kid" dont have nothing to do with age )

PS. Great you joined NGO , hope not only to take part in the contest

Do i post on a regular basis... not at all. Do I come to NGO to look at the reviews and for research... sure. I just figured that this was a lax crowd and my comments would garner some laughs... (hence all the smileys in the post to lighten the comments). Instead people took offense... and started flaming. Doesn't make for a great welcome.


See, I don't waste too much time posting on forums unless it peaks my interest. I'm of the older generation, Intelivision, Apple ][+, Atari 2600, Commodore 64, etc... this game was one I was particularly fond of. A friend of mine pointed me to the contest and I knew the answer... so I just wanted to show a bit of humor... because most people know Leisure Suit Larry Magna Cum Laude... they have no clue about the original LS series or the Kings/Police/Space Quest series.

Most people take for granted the high fidelity sound coming out of the speakers and the High Def 30in images on their monitors nowadays... I played THE Castle Wolfenstein (not the 3d)... the little top-down, maze-like, shoot-em up that was the first game ever to try to emulate spoken language using the Apple ]['s speaker. People just can't appreciate that anymore these days. DOn't get me wrong, I couldn't go back to playing a 320x200 game anymore either, but I've seen the changes games and hardware take throughout their years, and the process is just plain fascinating. But for most people that just passes them by... kind of sad in my opinion, because a lot of these older games deserve a redo... especially this one.

sniperdoc, although i do think the guys jumped the gun a little bit and were a bit harsh with you i think what hteir trying to say is that age doesnt really impact what you would have played

im gen-x and my first 'computer' was an amiga which had a massive 2mb hd, i had the atari 2600 and played pong on it, the first console i ever played was the very first sega, its not age that defines your gaming experience and i think they just dont like being defined that way

What the point in this ?? Cos i dont get it .

"See, I don't waste too much time posting on forums unless it peaks my interest."

So you clear stated that you just selfish guy who came here to get a prize. Forum is placed to get help and to give help to other . Anyway thats how i think about it.


PS. I dont know why but with every post you just proof solid the first impresion we with gen. Rage have about you . Cheers

well sniperdoc most of people i know (including me) have playd for years
and we are not noobs and you cant call us like that
i know almost all games made, well and have most of them that came in europe
so please spare us that kind of noob bullshit ok? we just dont give a damn what games you playd and when u have started playing games
if you have playd games that many years you have missed one game called LIFE
so get a life

Know when to stop.

I see nothing wrong with this post I took is as lighthearted myself being 40 I did play Leisure Suit Larry on an 8086 lol. Welcome to NGOHQ.com sniperdoc and I think some folks on this thread need to lighten up a bit and not take things so literally.

So lets get back to the contest it is open to members and readers best of luck to all

Ok but i have my word to tell in this... nobody in this god damn world is an noob ... we just play games for have fun.. not for do an parade and tell everybody hey check my score i did 1000 headshots ! and p0wned all thoses noobies....

I started playing computer at 4 Years old the first game i played was the first Duke Nukem..... was really nice with my old AMD 80386 And that's tell nothing about my gaming experience,and I can say I really sucks at UT ... and all those types of games!(Too much fast for me rofl XD)

And good luck sniperdoc for the contest

P.S:In games all the experience of the players can be benefit . That's who make an TRUE team.Playing alone... is really boring

Thanks folks.

By the way... if anyone is geeky enough to have played D&D... I have... and the last paragraph in the following article was awesome and deserves a read by all.

>Go north
The Troll Room
This is a small room with passages to the east and south and a forbidding hole leading west. Bloodstains and deep scratches (perhaps made by an axe) mar the walls.
A nasty-looking troll, brandishing a bloody axe, blocks all passages out of the room.

OMG WAS YOU ? WHEN ROFL?

The good old games from the good old days.

looool reg i had the same pc case on my 486dx50. my 8086 xt was uglyer and bulkyer...

and that was in 94 at least thats when i got that pc.

Interesting concept for a giveaway

Where are the others clues?... was not suposed to have more clues? as i read in the contest Page...

lol i guess enought ppl answered but yes a clue might jugle my memory

see ive played ALOT of games but i have no idea what this one is, maybe played it but was too young who knows

Think this game was created and my dad was not born... HAHA XD... i asked him ... he said WHAT THE HELL?

Cool. So after one more day I can finally post a dozen hints that I would have posted if it was allowed.
