Acknowledging that it's Penumbra's turn...

That reminds me of Sentinel. Wonder if it's on the C64 in this sshot.

Well... since there's not been a response to the last guess, I'll verify that the screenshot is from Sentinel. You're up, Mr. Imer!

I'm just an interloper. I don't have anything in mind at the moment. Please go ahead.

It reminds me of Yoshi's Island but I can't tell for sure what it is.

Not Yoshi's Island. It could possibly by Crysis, but maybe when run on an NES.

Here's another:

Nope! But Crystalis was an awesome game. Let's try one more a little easier, but not yet a "gimme" I believe.

I originally thought of it but I didn't knew about the clouds.

But since I still do occasionally play this game, and I like it better than FF1 or DQ9.

This is, if I remember correctly, the first DQ.

EDIT: (or DW, whatever you want it to be called.)

Yep, I'll always know it as Dragon Warrior. I was going to use the slime at first, but then saw that cloud in the background. I love that for my first screenshot, images.google.com comes up with a Dragon Warrior slime!

But seriously, the Slime would never be unique.

How many Dragon Warrior games have the same slime in them?

(All, since the slime is their mascot.)

EDIT: It's pas bedtime for now so I'll post a screenshot tomorrow.

Let's try a real classic game:

Was that really that simple? I should have use a image search before posting it then.

Pretty famous for being one of the first games by Miyamoto, but I remember this from the the time I'd saw other people playing them in the arcade. (Not good at this game at all.)

It was simple because I know the game, not because of google. I'll post a pic shortly...

Thanks for the hints. After a couple of searches I found the game.

As I've never really seen the game before I think I will wait a day before answering it. If anyone else wants to guess, go ahead.

(The real reason is that I can't be on the forum for the rest of the day. )

I decided to go with a game with a couple more pixels than Schik's selection...

Looks like something you would find on the wall in Portal 2 in the old testing facilities... but I doubt it's that. Might it have something to do with the fact that the file name is "batman"

Given the "conflagration" joke and the general art style, is this from Little Inferno?
