I would say we should give BenStandEven at least through today before posting a new screenshot. Maybe he was out of town this weekend and can only check the board after work today (or something like that). If no post from him, then technically (and most fair, I think) I should post a new shot since he guessed mine correctly.

Game on,

Okay, here is a new screenshot for the hungry masses. If you get it right, don't forget that you have to post a new screenshot.

Game on,

Correct! Possibly my favorite game on the Colecovision. I actually was able...once...to get to and beat level 9 difficulty. Once you beat that the game just keeps repeating it over and over again but I was still pretty proud of myself.

Sorry about missing the response part. Here's what I was going to include, if I still can.

My vote is that it is too late (and you got your rank points anyway) and it is Jason's turn to post a screenshot. Of course, if he flakes out on it, then yours could count, but he seems to be around a lot so I'm sure there will be one soonish.

Game on,

What about the screenshot that Ezlo put up, did anyone guess it correctly? I can't remember what it was.

I know the game Ben put up, but can't remember the name.

As a random guess, I'd say Tron, even though I've never seen, let alone played, the game.

I don't recognize Ezlo's screenshot, but Ben's is Dungeons of Daggorath.

Errr... doesn't "screenshot" imply that you're supposed to shoot the whole screen? Or is that a game for ultra-small cellphones?

Bolo for Mac, WinBolo or LinBolo. I don't think you can tell what OS you are using in that screenshot.

If you insist on the specific OS, I'm going with WinBolo.

Never played that, but with my familiarity with the series, is it Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun?

1. I'll post a partial screenshot from a game, movie, etc. You can also do a portion of text from a book if you wish...

I guess from the thread rules, a 'partial' shot of anything is acceptable.

its definatly not tiberium sun, seeing that i have played it(unless its heavily modified). Could it be Dune 2?

No, it's not Dune 2. It looks like an early RTS game, probably one of the many C&C clones of the mid/late-90s, but I have no idea which.

That could be so. The game is somewhat well-known because it was overshadowed by a much more famous RTS game released roughly at the same time.

It did have some interesting features, but it never managed to become very well known. A sequel was released a few years afterwards, and that one pretty much met the same fate.

Argh (no, this doesn't justify a full-blown "aarrrrgh"). I've played this one, but can't think of the name right now. This message is an attempt to exploit the hints-and-solutions effect ...

The Lost Vikings II. I guess they are Erik, Baleof and Olaf.

Correct (although it's Baleog ). Go on ...
