*Name the game* let's try again?

[kevlarman]

hint: it was the first game of its series ported to windows, the previous two ran only on macs.

[Death On Ice]

Marathon?

[MasterMechanic]

Since we had numerous people slipping through with pictures, I might have been over-zealous in removing MM's post. But, since 48h is 48h and I am a spineless bastard, I'd say we go with Kaleo's pic of Heretic running in a non-standard engine.

You realize MM was very clear and polite in stating that he might not be back for a little while, and that by posting a picture he was trying to be thoughtful and make things easier for everyone right? Most humans respond to that sort of behavior in kind, placing courtesy and sensibility above arbitrary rules. We call it "society"!

The More You Knoooow!

Thank you people for recognizing my uh...courtesy....and stuff....

to lava:

I apoligize. you were in the right. though it does bother me somewhat, you did right.

can i post now?

ah...hell i do it anyway.....

name it:

You got screwed over by a over-zealous action of me. I'm sorry, I hope you guess another game soon so you can try again.
To anyone replying to posts like this, please don't. The first post in the thread has simple rules, if we just stick to them, the thread stays readable and requires very little to no moderation, while providing maximum fun. If you cannot be available to post within the given 48h timeframe, then just don't, please. -Lava

Just so nobody can be stupid: As you can clearly see, it's kevlarman's turn.

[kevlarman]

wow you mac users seriously fail, this one might not have been the greatest game, but the previous two were classics.
full screenie with the ship names removed to make googling harder:

[Shadowgandor]

[gareth]

Escape Velocity Nova?

And no, I don't have a mac and the game looks like fun

[kevlarman]

Man, I knew that. I just needed the larger shot.

Dyna Blaster? (I'm almost sure it's not but it resembles to it - at least in my head )

[kevlarman]

nope, although that one was fun as hell too.

[kevlarman]

"bump"

[ODDity]

Its no use bumping... we're all thinking.. what we need is clues chap, more clues damn it.

[Lava Croft]

It looks vaguely familiar, but sadly nothing more than that.

[kevlarman]

i gave you a clue, a rather large one in fact.
EDIT: if no one gets it i'm putting up a larger screenshot tomorrow

[ODDity]

gah.. Bubble Bobble...

it not, so.... can you draw a big arrow to the clue 'cos i cant see it

[Death On Ice]

"bump" is probably the clue. I can't make anything of it though.
