Is that Draconus by Players?

Correct. Your turn.

Interesting. The Atarians in my area used to brag about it, so I thought it was an Atari exclusive. ZX screens look pretty decent though. Might try playing it side by side later.

I was quite surprised that people don't recognised it immediately. It is a good game, though 90% given by Crash Is little bit over.
Don't hesitate to use infinite lives, Draconus is rather about exploration than fights. I vaguely remember character control was far from perfect.

Funnily enough when I saw the fish I thought that looks like the Players style but couldn't see a screenshot that had it.

Anyway, I've kept this largeish but have edited out the main character.

I mean, we all know that Draconus is from Zeppelin Games, right? Right?!! We’re not going to let blucey, here, get away with such misinformation, yeah?

Mega Bucks!

Might as well go straight in with the next one...

I took two screenshots from this game, so I'll do the harder one first.

Iechyd da!

Megabucks was right.

Ha!

Serves me right for relying on my the memory of a game from 30 years ago!

Is this a scrambled clue or Welsh for "cheers!"?

Ha! The latter.

EDIT: Ok, a real clue. It may not be obvious, but the bottle and glass are isometric. (or some kind of projection... I just don't know any more!

)

I thought they might be and googled up Movie to see if it was that.

Nope, not Movie sorry.

The only iso game I can think of with very detailed graphics like that is Inside Outing.

Correct!

OK, try this one:

Heavy on the Magick?

clebin · Post by **clebin** » Mon Nov 30, 2020 10:22 pm

Looks like Marsport?

Close, though HotM would've been blockier (and doesn't tend to have that same 'distance' perspective as the other Gargoyle games)...

Yep, that's the one..!

clebin · Post by **clebin** » Tue Dec 01, 2020 9:03 am

Here's the next one!

Looks like it might be a text adventure...

You're right, it does. But it's not.

It's an arcade-adventure I guess.

I know it's not the answer but it looks a bit like the colour scheme during the Marshmallow Man rampage on the main city map in Ghostbusters.

It's a very weird game, graphically. The window isn't part of the playing area. Here's a teeny bit more...
