Re: Treasure quiz
I'm sure I've played the game of number 5, but I can't remember!

Yes, it's a recent one (and a very good one).
Re: Treasure quiz
Aha that's a game changer, 3 is Catacombs of Balachor. I knew I'd seen it.Rorthron wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2017 1:09 pmCackles maniacally....5MinuteRetro wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2017 1:08 pm Gah - this quiz is fiendish. 10 is quite modern, right?!

Re: Treasure quiz
Correct. I'd like to make clear that particular graphic was drawn by Morkin, who should hang his head in shame for not getting it.
Number 10's the other modern game (the "very good one"). The rest are vintage.

Long shot - 1 Fairlight II?
Re: Treasure quiz
No. It's not actually an isometric game.

Re: Treasure quiz
I still don't know what 10 is (yet) but as an aside I find it interesting that it seemed obviously 'modern' to me -- I wonder why? I mean, there's no wider context but it looks to me as though it uses two adjacent attribute blocks to create the illusion of more colour flexibility.

Re: Treasure quiz
Even though I hate you I'd personally appreciate another night of staring at 30-year-old pixels to see if anything will fire in my considerably older synapses...

Re: Treasure quiz
Yes please!
Re: Treasure quiz
OK, clue time.
1. This is a not very well known spin-off from a very well known series.
5. The Ultimate Wannabe.
7. A budget title whose title is anything but budget.
10. Probably the best game in its year of release (which has already been established as "recent").
12. This game has already been mentioned elsewhere in this forum.
Correct answers so far are below:
2. Sabre Wulf
3. Catacombs of Balachor
4. Jetpac
6. Boulder Dash
8. Knight Lore
9. Robin of the Wood
11. Booty
