OK, here goes:



For anyone who has ever played this game, it should be easy...but for a bonus:  can you name the character pictured and the location of this shot?

Kind of looks like zelda, but I can't see it very well.

All guesses are wrong so far.

Sorry, guys, that little pic is just a small portion of the entire screenshot, that's why it's so small (wanted to make it hard on ya!).  Also, the game is pretty old so the resolution is pretty low anyway.

To help ya out, here's another shot:




Now I know that's definitely enough info to get this one...

Hint:  THAC0 is an important character stat.

That icon totally looks like something from the Infitinity Engine, so I will say Baldur's Gate.

edit: baldur's gate?


It is Baldur's Gate, my favorite game all-time.  The shot is of the wizard who runs Sorcerous Sundries in Eastern Baldur's Gate...blanking on his name.  And the toolbar icon is the mage book.

But..who was first, Lava or Kev?  Lava says 4:54 and Kev says 4:52, but Kev did edit in the game name....you guys will have to settle this one.

Hehe Kevlar - yes you found my sophisticated privacy system.  Don't worry, though, there was nothing in there that would have revealed the identity of the game.

i get an edit time added to my posts if i'm the one editing them unless that post is the last in the thread when i hit the submit button (just like everyone else, if i edit someone else's post their edit time doesn't get changed or added). and just in case anyone is curious, here's proof:

edit1: this was made before anything was posted.
edit2: this was after jhaa's post.


anyway, bonus points if you can provide both of the names this game has been distributed under, and the platform that game was distributed for under that name:

Wow, that one looks like it was released before I was born (1987).

Good luck guys...I'm out of luck on this one.

correct, the original game was distributed for pc and later 3DO, in 2002 the 3DO source code was released under the gpl, and it has since been ported (under the name The Ur-Quan Masters, Star Control is a trademark owned by atari) to modern operating systems (in other words windows, linux, OS X, and pretty much everything else you can get sdl to compile on)

One of the computers at school had the demo.
The game is Another World aka Out of this World
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Another_World_(video_game)"
(I fail at links)

Give me a while to upload a shot of my own.

Edit:
(Did PIE get it? Eh, guess, not.)
Ok. The scariest game I have every played (because of atmosphere, sounds, and monsters, not crappiness). If this were a FPS people would have died. Well maybe not.

Here I am about to get pwned.



Edit 2: Just for fun 2 more shots:

In game: Win98SE
