Forum Game: What do you really know about video games?

[Enigmachine]

Hmm... Totally wild guess here, but based on his haircut, I would say Paul Atreïdes from Dune?

And yeah, I've been playing on computers for a long time... I don't think they were really video games back then though, the first time I can remember playing was on a 110 bauds printer terminal using the MUSIC OS (developped by McGill University) in 1976 or 1977...

Well, that is an accurate answer, Enigmachine!!!
Way to go!!!
Give us your riddle

[Enigmachine]

Wups, sorry, I didn't realize I had gotten it right!

Damned, now I have to find a riddle... Back in a couple of hours!

[Enigmachine]

I guess I'm no good with riddles because I couldn't come up with any of them!

So here's once again a screen capture.



This is probably going to be pretty easy. As an additionnal hint, I can tell you that the combat system looks totally copied from Jagged Alliance 2...

Good luck.

MechCommander 1 or 2?

Mechwarrior?

Mech Arena?

[Enigmachine]

No, no, no and No werty, please try again!

Hint #2: There is no "mech" in the name.

[Enigmachine]

Let's step it up here!

hint #3: Obscure Sierra Online game.

[werty316]

Cannonball Blitz?

Earthsiege?

[Enigmachine]

Not Cannonball Blitz.

And not Earthsiege... Though Earthsiege would be its parent.

It's a tactical game, not real-time.

I think this is all the hints I can give. I guess I'm the only one who played this! Not a bad game actually, but repetitive.

[werty316]

Took me a bit more time to think about what game it is but I finally think its "Battledrome".

[Enigmachine]

No, sorry, not Battledrome. Though I'm finding plenty of games I've never heard about.

Oh I just came up with a last hint! There was a comic book by Marc Silvestri with the same name. One of the first series in the Image Comics...

I'll post the answer in about an hour I think.

[pym]

Could be "The Darkness"

[Enigmachine]

No, not the Darkness...

Ok my hint was slightly wrong. The comic's name contains 2 words from the game's name, so it's not exactly the same.

[werty316]

Cyberforce?

[Enigmachine]

Close enough!

I was starting to think you'd name all the games of that series except the right one!

The complete name is Missionforce: Cyberstorm.

I don't know if that counts as a point.
