    Not even close.

    A few hints: it's from early 90s, it's a roguelike, it's sequel was released only for Mac. Let's see if that helps.

    I can identify your 4-pixel chair avatar, which gives me the right to post this:

    Doesn't help at all. There is a crap load of roguelike RPG's from early 90's.

    Pfft, graphical roguelikes, how very poor.

    Doesn't seem to be in MobyGames. But then neither is Robin of the Wood.

    I thought you assumed the game's poor just because it's a graphical roguelike. If not, nevermind.

    It was a sarcastic joke, graphical roguelikes tend to be looked down upon by the more 'hardcore' fans of the subgenre for whatever reason.

    That's Sacrifice, but someone still has to figure out Per's, and I have no idea what it is.
     
  13. Screw you all, I bet this game has never been played by anyone except me.

    A couple of clues: the name of the game is in the screenshot, blurred out, and it was later given a 16-bit facelift, at which time it looked like this:



    As a bonus game inspired by DC's latest entry:



    Can you have too much boarding of bicycles in games?
     
  15. Ohh, sorry per. I wasn't paying attention.

    I didn't really set a precedent for awaiting my turn. It's probably a good idea to keep this somewhat layered so the hard ones don't block things up.

    I still don't know what it is (I don't have a great knowledge of action and puzzle games), but that is one of the most convoluted interfaces I've ever seen in my life.

    Seriously, that interface covers half the screen. Is the other half in 3D?? Rare for a 16-bit game.
