OK then. Speaking of "a little bit obscure", here's a big fish from an extremely small pond -- but I'm pretty sure one or two of the locals know this one.

Yay, Tim got it! The Master of Magic; not to be confused with Master of Magic (notice lack of 'the'), which is a completely different game published by Microprose 9 years later.

At least I'm sure it's name started with A - was it called AJAX, perchance?

EDIT: Okay, my brain definitely IS mush - it's XOR, not AJAX... *slaps himself*

Yep! Brilliant game if you've never played it before.

Here's a link to wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_%28computer_game%29
(Look at the bottom of that page for the remakes.)

PS. Will you try not to make edits in your original post, as I might miss it?

I can't pick the platform, but that looks an awful lot like Micro Machines.

It reminds me of the old codemasters game "Grand Prix" but I don't remember the graphics being so good. Maybe a later version of it.

I would have guessed Micro Machines too. It's awfully similar to it!

Hmmm... looks awfully like SuperSpeed, but not sure which platform. Def not the deluxe version, but maybe one of the original versions...

Or an early version of Turbosliders... The variation in car shapes seems to fit...

Sorry, but no on both counts...

(Geez - what'll I do if nobody guesses it by next week? )

EDIT: What do the rules say if nobody guesses the screenshot in reasonable time? Ezlo?

np: Dabrye - Piano (Two/Three)
