Would help if I blanked the name in-game lol

Noooo... that radar in the lower left corner looks so familiar, but I can't put my finger on it...

Yup, you win... Having played 93% of all 2d soccer clones, I can seriously recommend this one.

Not as good as sensi perhaps, but easier to play with a keyboard, as the swerving seems more responsive (sensi regurlarly has my fingers coming off the arrow keys - doesn't happen with NSS3).

Well, that *was* a shot far from left field. Still, it couldn't be one of those countless football games I have played, and it looked pretty recent.

I just came up with the most evil one ever.



But I have no idea. I know some ones that are similar, but not that one in particular.

I modded you up already, hoping you *are* right (if not, don't worry, there'll be retribution and the like). I know it's Star Control, but I could have sworn it wasn't the second one.

Then again, I didn't play much of Star Control at all, so I suppose you know the game a good deal better than I do.

This one's for everyone here who needs to go back the nostalgic side.

This one should be fun, if you pay attention its quite easy.

Well, I could be pedantic and say it's "The Ur-Quan Masters", but since that's the source code and assets of the 3DO version after some baking on SourceForge I guess it still counts...

Probably should've used a more obscure game, though - then again, do yourself a favour and play that game at least once...

np: Safety Scissors - Where Is Germany And How Do I Get There (Tainted Lunch)

Only because the actual game has a one-paragraph article, is very similar, and is on the See Also list - and the article that linked it was in fact on SST's See Also list.

Also, see my post in the predict who posts thread.

Ah, but this isn't the Accolade PC version, at least I doubt that one uses SDL, several scalers, has speech and comes with source code...

And they couldn't name the open source version "Star Control II" as Accolade (or whoever gobbled them up) still holds the rights to that name - just hope they never make a "Star Control IV" that's even worse than "Star Control III"...

np: Zorn - Flicker (The City's Collapsing (But Not Tonight))

the screenie you posted contains insufficient information to distinguish the two, however (very few screenshots could, however. to show SCII as different from SC:tUM, I could include screenies showing some the very funny dialogue which they brutally snipped out of the game, or to show SC:tUM as different from SCII, I could show, um, the options screen?)

Ok. Here's my clip. It's guaranteed to have people stumped for at least five hours. Perhaps more. If you need hints I can give a few. But I'll tell you one thing, no one, I repeat, NO ONE, liked this game.

Any absence on my part can be blamed on Cave Story.

Screenshot attached, cropped it a bit because the entire picture was too easy.
