Guess the screen$

[sn3j]

Spec... the final front ear

Oy! *bash*

[WallyX]

I remember being more fascinated by the intro sequence in Buggy Blast than the actual game.

Seeing as we are doing loading screens..

[WallyX]

Stumped? This was released in the later years around the decline in the Spectrum's popularity.

[Prophyt]

Captain Dynamo?

[WallyX]

Yes that's it. Have you guys played every spectrum game?

Gorgeous loading screen.

Over to you.

[Prophyt]

Another loading screen for you all:

[sludge]

Is that Molecule Man?

[SteveSmith]

Based on the screenshot https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/3 ... lecule_Man I think we can assume this is correct. Time for another?

[sludge]

Try this:

[SteveSmith]

They Stole a Million?

[ParadigmShifter]

It's the loading screen for Knockout

https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/2 ... m/Knockout

I know of someone who will probably get this one very quickly

[Morkin]

[Lee Bee]

Aargh, that game is so familiar to me yet I can't remember what it's called!

[ParadigmShifter]

Not sure if it's widely known, I tried to do a random search but it asked for 3 letters minimum so I typed in 3 letters from first word I saw on a website.

The word was "believe" I think. I just picked the first one that looked like it had nice graphics (totally not derivative or anything lol)

So at least 3 letters from that word (in order, not saying which 3 letters I used) appear in the name of the game.

[ParadigmShifter]

This may jog your memory (from loading screen)

[sludge]

Is it the remake of Smudge and the Moonees?

What is it called?

[ParadigmShifter]

I've never heard of Smudge and The Moonees so no idea if it is or not

EDIT: Looking at a screenshot of that though I would say definitely not.

[sludge]

Theres a recent remake of it and the graphics are similar.

I just cant think of its name...

EDIT: Here it is, Smudge - Bad Moonee Rising

https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/3 ... nee_Rising

[ParadigmShifter]

Well I was right then it is definitely not that

[Lee Bee]

Smudge - Bad Moonee Rising

I love that game! And trust Sludge to think of Smudge!

[ParadigmShifter]

Well you know what they say about clues, some are deeply hidden and some are hidden in plain sight

[Lee Bee]

Actually not the game I was thinking of!

Balachor's Revenge?

[ParadigmShifter]

Yup that's correct I was surprised when my random choice had Morkin (regular poster here) and Rorthron (not so regular poster here I think) as the authors

I thought Morkin may have given it away too easily at least he played ball though and kept mum

[Lee Bee]

Yup that's correct I was surprised when my random choice had Morkin (regular poster here) and Rorthron (not so regular poster here I think) as the authors

Ooh, I actually had no idea that our friends Morkin and Rothron were behind that game, or that they'd made a couple of games ten years ago! Funny how almost everyone here is some kind of producer of content!

Wass'is, then?

[ParadigmShifter]

Well it's either cricket >> tennis >> baseball I guess? A >> B means "A is much greater than B" of course.

Could be golf though but it looks like a baseball or a tennis ball. Cricket ball would probably be filled in pixels since they didn't use white balls for 1 day cricket in the 80s?
