I’ll spare any more slow reveals and show the whole thing - any guesses?
Not Tex Murphy - although for a clue, the game is titled after the protagonist.
No; I don’t know what that is.
Rather than interrupt the game in progress, I renamed the thread to 2022. :)
Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties?
Dammit, I’m gonna lose, aren’t I?
I’ll leave it up for a little bit before accepting defeat.
Okay, I’ll have to concede here. The game is David Wolf: Secret Agent, a Dynamix title published by Sierra back in '89. It was a pre-CD example of an “interactive movie” - by which that means it used digitized images (not anim) of real people for the cinematics, and had spectacularly little gameplay. The gameplay that was there was limited to a few arcade like sequences that were pretty poor. The game was about thirty minutes long once you got good at each sequence.
That being said, I played the heck out of it when I was a kid.
Here’s a long play - David Wolf: Secret Agent! (Longplay) PC/DOS, Dynamix, 1989 - YouTube
I’ll try to get a new shot up shortly.
I never ever heard or read anything about this, even at the time :0
Okay, here is a new game, new shot. This one will hopefully be recognizable.
Dammit, no takers? Okay, here’s another shot -
A snippet of what looks to be Japanese writing in neon so… Cyberpunk 2077?
It is Cloudpunk!
I haven’t gotten too far in this game; I picked it up, played for a little bit, then decided I’d like to return to it later (“later” being an unspecified timeframe that could become “never”, which would be a shame). It does look great, though.
Thanks Dave for the image editing help
Final Fantasy VII Remake?
