Name that GAME Thread

Excellent choice by the way. Spent alot of time playing W&W. I think Fabio can credit the cover of WW2 as the springboard to his career as a super hunk.
Alright, put on your thinking caps folks. This one's a doozy:

I kid, I kid. The real pick shouldn't be too tough, but I remember loving the graphics on this one.

Funny enough, I never cared for the W&W series all that much until that third one. I just never could get my head wrapped around the controls of the first two. For some reason, adding in the extra characters in the third one just really clicked with me. I also REALLY enjoyed the trial levels in order to get the statues.

Oh hell, that's going way back. Looks damn familiar but I can't exactly place it.

I guess in the interest of not killing another thread I'd better throw out a hint.

"Inspired by Mr Jones"

Last hint.

I can't believe that's how it was meant to look.

Indiana Fuji Golf!

You nailed it! It was Aztec, but close enough. Your turn, Tuff.

I'll take what I can get. I'm really curious if someone can get this one. This the only screenshot I can find that doesn't have the name in the title:

I'll post a screenshot with the title by the end of the day if nobody gets it.

Somehow this seems harder than he movies.

It's kind of like if the movie thread was full of short films and the kind of art films that was only ever shown once at an obscure film festival. With entries from the early days of gaming, there's bound to be a lot of games that maybe only a few thousand people ever played, let alone remember decades later.

Admittedly, educational games are way out of range for me.

I believe that is Think Quick?

Well, I mean with movies there is usually a picture of a famous (or semi-famous) actor in one of the screenshots. That could at least narrow down the pool of possible movies he or she starred in and start making guesses from there. With games I feel like it's a lot harder because for the most part you either get it or you don't. There are not a lot of screenshots you can look at and be like "Oh, this could be possibly three or four different games" unless it's a sequel (posting a picture of a Sonic game, for instance)

And to Stengah's point, we have started off a bit on the difficult side due to picking some early games during a time when gaming was A) Not as popular and B) included a LOT of one-off games that could be considered niche even if you had a rich background of gaming knowledge.

Woohoo! That's it. I spent a ton of time making levels in that game.

I played a ton of Aztec as a kid. Octopus monsters and t-rexes oh my!

Oh whoops! Work got in the way and I kind of lost track of time there. This one shouldn't be too hard, I think.

Pole Position!

I think... lol

Incorrect!

Ummmm, Rad Racer?

Ding ding ding! Thought I'd throw a bit of a curveball by tossing the F1 car in there

Tokyo Jungle!

Too easy!

Well, this should be another easy one:

And here I was trying to figure out which Test Drive it was!

See, I initially thought that it was a Test Drive game, but the Porsche on the wheel gave me a bit of pause.

Next up:

I spent hours, HOURS, with that game. Playing it, modding it, taking leisurely drives through it. I saw that screenshot and had instant flashback. Man, I could recognize those trees and that road anywhere.

I have fond memories of Destruction Derby.
