Broken Sword-The Angel of Death

If I'm right; is it as good as the three before?

rezaf · Post by **rezaf** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 5:48 am

Actually, Angel of Death / Secrets of the Ark seems very likely.
I seem to recall seeing the box-with-letters prop.

And with a nextgen console release, GTA4 will hopefully look a lot better than that. (shame on Rockstar for letting us PC gamers stand in the rain)

I picked up AoD from bargain and I stopped playing because there was some weird sound bug I couldn't get fixed, so I can't judge it's quality.
However, I think the first two were actually a lot better than 3 with the sokoban puzzles and timed sequences and such crap, but I might be in a minority here.

It is indeed Broken Sword : Angel of Death / Secrets of The Ark, so hidde is up.

hidde · Post by **hidde** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 9:41 am

Ok, it's my intent for this to be a tricky one

I'll be surprised if it's not.

Shogun: Total War?
Kohan?

I'm falling into your trap, huh....

hidde · Post by **hidde** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 1:00 pm

I believe you do.
As for Shogun-Total War...same,same but different.

Lords of the Rising Sun? (That looks newer though.)

pengo · Post by **pengo** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 2:45 am

Seven Kingdoms?

hidde · Post by **hidde** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 4:14 pm

Maybe I should provide some help.
It has a number 2 after the name and there is a number 3 to be released this month according to their website.
Some years ago the company made a game called Strength and Honour.

rezaf · Post by **rezaf** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 5:07 pm

Heh, I was actually going to write Takeda, but the graphics looked different, if similar.
Had no idea there was a sequel.

Overlords return and I find there's been a right answer all the time.
Never saw it before the crash. Takeda II it is, if anyone still interested.
rezaf gets the torch.

Since rezaf hasn't logged on since the re-bOOt, I'm going to go ahead and post a new one to get the ball rolling:

Questron? Questor? It was an SSI knockoff of Ultima - I remember that.

AWS260 · Post by **AWS260** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 2:23 pm

Nope.

How about a hint? What platform is that? C64?

Hint

The Dark Queen of Krynn? (I still have a Death Knights of Krynn party that's been waiting to enter that game for 10 years.)

Earlier.

Hint: this 2000 release took place in a dystopian future (albeit one in which fuel prices aren't as high as they are in the real world).

Deus Ex?

/edit - yep, Deus Ex. In Nevada when you have to rescue the girl from the gas station.

Awesome hint, by the way:

(That isn't my screenshot - I'll post that in a second.)

Blackhawk · Post by **Blackhawk** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 11:43 am

Ok, I've got a couple of shots from really obscure games, mainstream titles that only ten people ever played three finished. As such, I'll give a shot from each of them - you need guess only one to move on. Naturally, guessing both will amaze your friends and embarrass your parents.

Again, these shots are from different games.

Bad Demographic · Post by **Bad Demographic** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 9:37 pm

Gah! I don't recognize most of these images (except the sailors around the pool table that a woman is dancing on). I fail as a gaming nerd.

Kyosho · Post by **Kyosho** » Sat Jun 28, 2008 12:43 am

The second one looks familiar to me. I'm not sure why. It also sort of reminds me of that game Lifeline which I never played. So that'll be my guess until I can give this some more thought (unless that's it).

Blackhawk · Post by **Blackhawk** » Sat Jun 28, 2008 12:56 am

Not lifeline. Both are PC shooters released this millennium. Here's a hint on the second one: You're looking at yourself through a security camera you're hacking.

SlapBone · Post by **SlapBone** » Sat Jun 28, 2008 3:59 pm

Is the first one Red Faction?

Blackhawk · Post by **Blackhawk** » Sat Jun 28, 2008 5:22 pm

SlapBone wrote:Is the first one Red Faction?

Not Red Faction, but that's a good guess as the shot is on Mars. The game doesn't just take place on Mars - it takes place on a space station and on Earth, too (from what I remember.)

The second was a single player shooter that ended up playing like a multiplayer shooter, complete with you and your team respawning whenever you were killed.

Blackhawk · Post by **Blackhawk** » Sun Jun 29, 2008 9:23 am

We need more people playing!

Ok, one last set of hints.

The first game is from 2003. The game's name is the main character's last name. It was a fun game for a while, but way too long, as it became very repetitive. The shot is late in the game. You've arrived on Mars, taken control of a facility, and must defend it in an exoskeleton until relief arrives.

The second game is also from 2003. It is an Unreal Engine 2.0 game, whose main character was an obvious attempt to cash in with an Eminem lookalike. It was a pure action shooter set in the near future, where the first half was like a traditional linear shooter, and the second half was your squad vs. the AI in what amounted to single player capture-the-flag. The shot is from near the beginning, as you're escaping a hospital.

I'll post the answers in a couple of hours if nobody has guessed yet.

hidde · Post by **hidde** » Sun Jun 29, 2008 10:40 am

I don't really think this is it but...Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter.

The second sounds somewhat familiar but no way that I can recall a name

Chaser?

I played that game but you are right, I never finished it.

Hot damn! 43 minutes from the shots expiring. Yep, it is Chaser (the main character was John Chaser.) You were tasked with driving the exoskeleton, fighting off alternating waves of air and ground units coming to reclaim your recently captured complex on Mars. The game was fun, it had good visuals, and an interesting style, but it relied way too much on repetitive corridors and long tunnels when you weren't sure where to go. If they'd shaved a third of each level off, they'd have had a hit. As it was, most people got tired of it halfway through (I finished it out of stubbornness.)

The second shot was

Spoiler:

So, SlapBone has it.

Sorry guys, I went out of town right after I guessed the last one.

Here is mine:

This will be really easy or really hard.

SlapBone · Post by **SlapBone** » Mon Jun 30, 2008 10:30 pm

Ok, its a 3-D roguelike (with multiplayer) that had awful reviews. Developer had a bit of controversy with his next game.

I have to say I'm enjoying the heck out of this thread, even if I'm embarrassed to say I've not gotten one of these right
