Maybe I chose an unknown game, but I always thought it was kinda known...

Here are a couple more... Maybe they aren't as obscure as the other ones.




If no one has guessed them by tonight (that's 14 hours from now more or less...) I'll give the solution because I'm away this weekend and I don't wanna stop this game (even more).

"Adventures of Robin Hood", according to Google - "Robin Hood" isometric game makes a nice search term.

Geesh. Start off in a random place each time and pick up stuff. I believe I even finished it. Atari ST... it's gone.

Hello? Guys? Anyone?

Hint: Syntax was right as far as the Atari ST was concerned...

np: Autechre - Autechre Remix Of Spangle By Seefeel (Spangle)

No. Obviously Black Lamp was only known in Austria.
My next one might be a problem though.
It was my first video game besides LCD game & watch stuff.
On a very exotic console.

Donkey Kong, perhaps on the Colecovision? Bleh, I hadn't paid attention to the filename. Of course, "nodonkey" means just that, I guess.

So, my guess will be on Donkey King. That name is so obvious it might actually be the one.

Hehe,nice try. It definitly is a Donkey Kong clone.
And i think it was around the same time when Coleco was popular.
But this system is much more obscure.
So i will give you hints.
The first one is:
Look at the man and guess what his profession might be.
(Well,looking at the graphics again i realize how ridiculous this hint is...)

AHHH!!! I remember it.

There's this ape at the top who keeps throwing barrels at you, and you have to get to the top to rescue the princess(?).

*sigh*

Forgot the name though...

Well... there WAS this game I remember playing which had absolutely nothing to do with Donkey Kong and which I described above.

Seems I was wrong though(not with the game; with the screenshot)

Indeed. Before the second pic though I was thinking "Cops and Robbers" and "Kong clone". When I saw a better picture, then Police hit me

Heres mine.

@Dex: Yes, sure you played one of the many Donkey Kong clones.
Maybe this one

About Police Jump: The "Kong" is the criminal Dan who kidnapped a girl (just for fun?). Your "Mario" is a police man and the barrels are replaced with tires.

Sorry, didn't want to interfere with the next-to-guess game...

I've played that game many times... would have finished it if there were enough franchises to cover every planet.

Now for something to take me down memory lane...

It's VERY Jet Set Willy - maybe the Atari version thereof?

(Oooh, "thereof" )

But no, it's not Jet Set Willy.

Hmm... I wonder if I've finally found a game to stump you guys.

Actually, I've never seen Jet Set Willy before.

Here's another screenshot to whet your curiosity.

Found it! Alice in Wonderland (C64).
Didn't know this game exists.
But the female character + wacky setting brought me on the right track (if that's a correct english idiom).

Yep, you guessed the game correctly.

This was the first computer game I ever played. I would have eventually finished it, if not for a babysitter who thought she knew how to use an AppleIIe. Needless to say, she wrecked the game disk. Now I have both the AppleII and C64 versions. The C64 version has glitched text, but everything else works fine. The AppleII version has harder controls, and a glitched room exit (that leads to a nonessential area).

However, these screenshots are from the Apple II version.
