That's right I quoted myself, want to do something about it...

Anyway sense I'm bored and not so patient... 7th cup of coffee will do that! Slow day at the office... so slow that I'm the only person in the office. So if I want to run around naked... I can! ...given I shut off the security cameras. ...none the less I'm so bored and you guy are not helping. I just might start another, "For the love of holy gaming mother, some one please post something!"

So the answer to my game screenshot is... "Twin Cobra!" specifically the Sega Genesis version. I know there were few other releases for like the Arcade systems.

This would be my first Sega Genesis game that I bought with help of my father. I wish they would bring it to the xLive Arcade.

ok... here's my entry.

This was the firs PC game I actually owned... I think.

Wing Commander 3, that's an Arrow in the display.

Ok this is going to be easy... Azure Chicken... quiet !

Game 2

One of the terminator games, future shock or Skynet perhaps.

Second one is Terra Nova I think.

And, I am not making it impossible. I made it misleading but not impossible.

Second one is Terra Nova I think.

Correct.

Correct.

Well given the fact that it looks polygonal, I'll go with skynet.

So close, yet so far ! I guess this was unfair, but -

Both games were polygonal, however Terminator : Skynet was the only one that allowed for true 640x480 SVGA resolution. I took a screenshot of Terminator: Future Shock, but I didn't want to make it easy, so I upscaled it to SVGA. However you could still see that its a blurry upscaled picture instead of real SVGA.

Another non-trivial (but guessable) one:

Mechwarrior 2?

Incorrect.

I'd almost say mech 1, but I don't remember the HUD looking like that, so I'll go with Mech 2: Ghost Bear Legacy.

This one is easy as pie, but one of my all time favorite pc games.

Heh, URL HACK FOR TEH WIN! It's Neverhood.

Coldforged's looks like Shadow Warrior, or maybe Strife.

Red X on coldforged's, office firewall must be blocking it.

I didn't win either but I posted several

This is a Wolf3D/ROTT-level engine, below Doom/Duke3D/Shadow Warrior complexity. This is a distant relative of Corridor 7 engine-wise. Given the crappy homemade quality of sprites and textures, my best guess would be Ken's Labyrinth.

Of course there's no possible way anyone would post something this obscure. Oh yeah, that Egyptian game based on Duke3D engine (POWERSLAVE) looked pretty crappy too. It could be that... but I hope its not.

Try this one on for size!

correct

I'm going with Mechwarrior: Mercenaries for shihonage's.

Sinatar already guessed correctly - its Ghost Bear Legacy. Its got an enhanced Mechwarrior 2 engine which is between MW2 and MW2: Mercs. It allows for partial ground texturing and weather effects like falling snow (which is seen in the screenshot).

Nobody has it yet.

The office sucks! That's from my personal web site and there's only a small amount of scat porn and watersports pictures there!

Yea I almost guess Mech 1, I just didn't remember mechwarrior 2 looking that crude, good ol nostalgia. :p
