    Not sure the RPG.

    Here's a game I played the hell out of when I was a wee lad.

    Ha!

    Not sure of any of those. My youngest gaming days was spent with crappy early 90s pc games.

    This however, is the greatest game ever. Been playing it since I was 6 and barely a month goes by that I don't.

    How about a couple of more rules, to keep things from getting messy:

    1. No cheating. (I'm looking at you Scorpius. The point is to guess the games).

    2. No new pics until the last one has been named.

    Exactly! The game is a freaking classic. It's a 16-bit fallout!

    That's Eye of the Beholder 1. I recognize the stones and dwarves as being on the floor where they camped with their ailing king.

    Well, I'm going to make a very wild guess, based on the name Antares. It's probably not the case but is this a Star Trek game or a game somehow connected to ST universe?

    Yep, SSI didn't really hit their stride until they put out the Gold Box games (the Buck Rogers series is awesome), although Roadwar 2000 was a pretty damn good game.
     
  14. Damn, that was the most retarded double post in history.


    Anyways. Best of the franchise.

    That's Klingon Academy.
    I remember the reviews being utterly terrible and expecting a piece of dreck, but it was okay, better than Starfleet Academy at the least.
    I was caught up with Privateer for the first time when I played Klingon so I never got that far into it.

    But really, what can compete with Privateer?

    Interesting factoid: The guy who did the music for that game was Inon Zur, the guy responsible for FO3's horrible soundtrack.





    One of my favorite games, the engine should give it away.

    Almost, but now it should be exceedingly obvious.

    Huh? I think you must be confusing me with someone else. I wasn't cheating, but pointing out how others might cheat. The lesson here is that participants shouldn't link to screenshots on source websites, but rather host them on their own and make sure to name the image files something inconspicuous beforehand.
