Chroma Squad? I think I’m wrong.
Some weird old version of The Battle for Wesnoth?
Hehe, first thing I thought when I saw the screenshot… only I hoped for a weird new version!
It was from the tutorial of Lost Technology, a game recommended by @Juan_Raigada.
It is indeed real-time, a hands-off addictive RTS game, with a very light strategic layer reminiding of Koei games.
It is let down by horrible controls (an RTS without any keyboard shortcuts, basically), and a butcher work of an English translation, a bombardment of tongue in cheek jokes by someone who should probably work on his own game instead?
So, I go for another round…
Moon Patrol?
Hah, I recognized it instantly too. I remember playing that one on arcades! I’m old.
Anyway, great pick!
Haha, yeah, those three balled bastards piss me off. =)
I’m struggling figuring out what to pick. Something super obscure, or a personal favorite game that will no doubt be figured out quickly?
I always pick games I want to talk about and/or share with people here, no matter how easy or hard they might be.
Ok, here we go. This is a game that I don’t expect to be figured out quickly, but it is personally significant for me at least…
Age of Empires 2
Looks like a light gun style shooter.
Nope.
Definitely had shooting elements, but wasn’t light gun based. Mouse if I recall correctly.
Next hint – a protagonist (one of two) appears!
Alone in the Dark 3? I don’t remember the game being that high definition, or even taking place during the day for that matter.
Redguard?
Alone in the dark?
Not Alone in the Dark or Redguard. I had totally forgotten about Redguard, loved that game (or, at least, the world)! Game is 800x600.
Next hint, showing some UI:
Is it Red Dead Revolver?
As I have not the slightest idea, this begs me to ask: what would have a really obscure one have been!
Well, will probably learn about that soon enough.
