Well, then my guess is Metal Gear Solid. I can't guess wich game in the series.

Er...Tron is about being inside the computer. Did you ever see the original movie? The "people" inside the computer wore suits very similar to the game screenshot NiroZ posted. Here's a Tron poster that may shed some light on why I guessed the way I did:

And for the record, I didn't even look at the file name, since the image was imbedded, so...either NiroZ didn't mean to keep the file name, or he had the same idea I did and intentionally used it to describe the screenshot. Either way, I was oblivious, but maybe it worked to my advantage.

Game on,

I have some vague recollections of the movie. Talk about "vague". That's more like blackhole vagueness. I agree it *does* look like that, though. It does.

I blame my obliviousness on TCB, because it's just so convenient.

The filename was a deliberate decoy.

My other guess was Kingdom Hearts 2, since it has a Tron sequence in it, but I don't think the game looks that good and it's not so 3D that you can look up like that, but...might as well throw it out there.

Nope.

I'd better go scrounge up another screenshot.

Okay, sobeing the Ghost In The Shell fanyboy that I am I got a figure of Batou on my desk here so I guess I had to recognize him, even if it's just his back...

"Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex" on the PS2 - why are games like this not ported to the PC, dammit?

np: The Postal Service - We Will Become Silhouettes (Matthew Dear's Not Scared Mix) (We Will Become Silhouettes)

Hmmm, I should have picked the picture where Batou was just a silhouette. Ah, well, your turn Briareos.

Also, I can't believe that you guys fell for my 'red-herring filename' trick twice in a row.

I believe that is Montezuma's Revenge. Man, I played that game to death on my Apple IIc as a kid. Got pretty good at beating it too.

Same here, on an Atari 800XL...

Anyway - that sure didn't last long... *sigh*

np: Bracken - Of Athroll Slains (We Know About The Need)

Sure is...

"Miner 2049er"...

(Although I still needed a Google image search to make sure it's not "Bounty Bob Strikes Back"... )

I just remember playing the Buggy Boy arcade on 3 screens. That was quite an experience

Here's a screenshot of a very obscure game, and I think I'll buy it when it's available to a shop near me. It has however, already been released.

Here, you can have your points back.

I don't think I have to tell you why I chose this game, do I?

Now they really should release an English version of it
(Not that I can't read Deutsch, but...)
