Obviously. You're up.

This should get you stumped for a while.

I removed upper bar with game name.

It looks like a witch and I know Cauldron II. So maybe this is Cauldron I?

eMTe · Post by **eMTe** » Sun Jun 18, 2006 9:37

Nope. And it's not a witch, you control some kind of ghostbuster... And screens come from Spectrum, but afair both versions look exactly the same.

This is totally obscure game, it wasnt a hit, it's a common C64 game like hundreds of others, nothing special, really. So you either have to know it or just have luck browsing MobyGames (HINT! HINT!

).

It's not that obscure eMTe... I remember reading about this game in Crash! magazine when it came out. It's called Spooked.

I have the feeling that the ZX Spectrum was bigger in Britain than it was in Europe, America or Australia and so some of these games are better known about here.

Anyway here's an east one - I want the EXACT title:

Treasure island Dizzy?

Aha!!!!!!! You fell into my TRAP!! Ahahahahahahahaha!

You see the front of Treasure Island Dizzy had this Pirate threatening Dizzy on it, but to my knowledge - this never occurs in the game. Oh no - this is another Dizzy adventure.

Scythe · Post by **Scythe** » Sun Jun 18, 2006 20:02

I think it's Crystal Kingdom Dizzy... possibly...

Parvini · Post by **Parvini** » Sun Jun 18, 2006 22:31

Wrong again! I'm loving this

eMTe · Post by **eMTe** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 8:37

Judging from the graphics it should be Prince of the Yolkfolk... But knowing Parvini this is some obscure Dizzy game published only on Caiman Islands in 150 copies...

Anyway, I go for PotY.

Parvini · Post by **Parvini** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 9:49

Wrong again! You're all thinking far too literally - remember that Dizzy was a bit like Mario for a while, appearing in all sorts of games.

eMTe · Post by **eMTe** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 10:50

Must be Bubble Dizzy then. I have this game on my HD, but dont remember this particular screen.

Parvini · Post by **Parvini** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 11:29

Correct eMTe...!! It's actually the first screen of the game. The pirate pushes Dizzy into the sea and thence the game starts. I'm surprised so many of you fell for my sly trap here

Scythe · Post by **Scythe** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 14:00

No surprise there. I've only ever played one Dizzy game in my life.

eMTe · Post by **eMTe** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 0:56

I didnt recognize it because I have PC version...

This should be really hard.

An Amiga game.

Parvini · Post by **Parvini** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 6:01

Probably way, waaaay off with this but is it Desert Strike??

Just the first thing that popped into my dead when I saw it.

eMTe · Post by **eMTe** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 10:16

Not even close.

Pitkin · Post by **Pitkin** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 12:37

Jurassic Park, Amiga. No doubt about that, too vivid memories of the game still. *shivers*

eMTe · Post by **eMTe** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 20:38

Hm, that wasnt as hard as I expected.

And sorry for bringing your vivid memories back, PItkin.

Pitkin · Post by **Pitkin** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 21:22

No, the memories weren't that bad. Just that I was bloody scared, watching my friend play the game... raptors are scary, after all.

This was a fun game. ^_^
