Is it the Minter grid shooter thingy?

Gridrunner?

Breakout?

Magic Schoolbus?

No sir.

It also isn’t Gridrunner™ or Breakout™. You guys are in the right time zone though.

Arkanoid?

No, sorry… oh wait. You got it. :)

It was the claw hands that gave it away. How well do y’all know your pirate ships?

Port Royale?

Sea Dogs?

Reasonable guesses, but no … have a lighthouse:

That’s got to be up there in the “Least representative of actual game” stakes.

Patrician 2?

Well, I mean, a significant portion of the game takes place on a ship. Not Patrician… here’s some characters.

It’s not, but it should be, The Return of the Obra Dinn

Given when the game was released, I suspect this was an actual painting for the box art. I wonder if a painter doing art for Obra Dinn would use the same color palette as the game… a good artist can do a lot with a restricted palette.

Here’s another character…

And with that character, this suddenly turned from a drama to a comedy.
