Guess the Commodore game

This is a game that took me about 20 years to finish.

The Detective Game.

"Dirty Rats," mumbles the Major.

Right you are.

I hope this game is obscure enough to give you all hard time.

"Hint": this is an Amiga game.

Yeah, I've never seen it before, so obscure enough for me.

eMTe -I've only ever read a description of this game, one where you "play an ameoba and collect trash"...

Is it FLOOD?

Heh. http://www.mobygames.com/game/amiga/flo ... tId,73636/

Yes, it's Flood by Bullfrog. Your turn Parvini.

Parvini · Post by **Parvini** » Fri Jun 09, 2006 2:45

After that, you asked for it eMTe

Scythe · Post by **Scythe** » Fri Jun 09, 2006 11:57

Hmm... Sands of Egypt?

I'm sorry Scythe, that's not right. I think the game was most "famous" (hee hee) for the Atari ST but it had wildly different graphics on that (no colours, wire frames) but this is from the C64 version. It is very old - 1983/4 and not listed on either Moby Games, Wiki or HotU.

The only clue I'll offer is that the software company who made it is now mainly involved in making strip poker games.

Adventure in Serenia?

Parvini · Post by **Parvini** » Sat Jun 10, 2006 12:07

That's not right either eMTe...

Damn, I´m absolutely sure, I know this game, but I don´t remember its name

I'm sure it's not drakhen

Parvini · Post by **Parvini** » Thu Jun 15, 2006 3:46

Ok - here's a shot from ever so slighly more well known Atari version...

(I've edited out the title)

Scythe · Post by **Scythe** » Thu Jun 15, 2006 11:09

Well, the publisher gives it away. Apparently, it's a game called, of all things, "Gwendolyn"... I certainly never heard of it. On the other hand, I see that Artworx made the wonderful game "Battle Through Time", which I remember was really great fun.

I still think it should be "Sands of Egypt." It had that exact same line, "You are lost in the Desert", used to describe almost every location in the game. That's why I thought it must have been that.

You're right Scythe, your turn. Apologies for posting SUCH an obscure game, I just wanted to nail eMTe

The first computer RPG I ever played. I've replayed it many, many times. It's easily recognizable, but we can't all submit obscure games.

Why not?
