Guess the Game!

SteveSmith · November 2018

I'm recreating various Speccy games in 3D. Can anyone guess what game this is? (Might be a bit easy, but they'll get harder).

Gyron

Nope.

Eric and the Floaters?

Correct! I thought that one might be too hard, but obviously not.

I used to have it but it was too frustrating which is probably why I remembered it. It was the dotted wall that I recognised.

Any guesses what this game is?

Um. You must be inadvertently rotating your polys, because your brick wall textures don't align at the top. Or maybe you could double the resoution then shift the pixels up by '1' (a half step) so they're vertically symmetrical... ish...?

That's Androids. I loved that game!

I was gonna say Horace Goes Skiing :))

Correct! I thought it might be a bit hard since it's not the most famous of games, but I remember loving it back in the day.

Thanks, yes, I need to look at that. It's an exact recreation of the original map, so it's got that going for it.

That's probably coming soon (the Frogger section at least). :)

Okay, here's an easy one:-

Not quite, but it did start off as Cyclone (and I'll probably use it to create a version of that game).

Combat Lynx?

VincentAC · December 2018

Easy? This is the first one I've not known :))

Or possible Krakatoa. That starts from an island with a hut with surrounding seas, but that has a very 50s helicopter that is red. The only yellow helicopter I can find is Mr Heli.

Correct! I thought the tanker would be a giveaway.

I could have sworn the heli was actually black (from memory) but a black heli didn't show any shadows, so I made it yellow. I will fix this oversight forthwith.

I didn't see the tanker and thought it was part of the next island :) That could do with some different colours as well.

Same here, it wasn't until I altered the viewing angle of the screen then it appeared.
I would've said Cyclone anyway.

First time I saw it I thought of Minecraft :)

Timmy · December 2018

I thought it was something like Choplifter or Airwolf... :)
