Is that a piece of Gargoyle jewelry from Ultima VII? Guess it could be something from Underworld since you've mentioned playing that recently, but I haven't so I wouldn't know...

..good job indeed.

Alright, let's see if my farting around with X11 on this beast was worthwhile, or if nobody will be able to see this image anyway...

(That's 200% "normal" size, but the screenshot I got it from was kinda tiny anyway - still looks like it does in game)

Looks like some atari game

Neo · « **Reply #636 on:** February 18, 2008, 10:12:55 am »

It's not Scorched Earth by chance?

if it is that then it is too distorted to tell...

(I just happen to have scorch on my pc to pass my time

)

Kaleo · « **Reply #638 on:** February 18, 2008, 10:26:31 am »

Well lets see... It's got 2D graphics, tanks and is green...

Damn... still nowhere close.

Hmmm...

Nope, no idea...

Rocinante · « **Reply #639 on:** February 18, 2008, 02:17:33 pm »

Nope, it's not Scorched Earth (love that game.. great way to pass the time at work). I'll start with a hint now, 'cause I get the feeling this is going to be a tough one. The tank, while a large part of the game, is not the protagonist (ie, you don't control them - and there's a lot of them!)

Shadowgandor · « **Reply #640 on:** February 18, 2008, 03:02:57 pm »

Damn it, I thought I knew the game untill you said tanks weren't the protagonist

NiTRoX · « **Reply #641 on:** February 18, 2008, 03:25:32 pm »

Overkill

Tycho · « **Reply #642 on:** February 18, 2008, 03:49:40 pm »

Armor Alley ?

Rocinante · « **Reply #643 on:** February 18, 2008, 04:15:59 pm »

Nope, neither Overkill nor Armor Alley

snb · « **Reply #644 on:** February 18, 2008, 04:17:47 pm »

damn um so does it have any thing to do with ww2?

Menace13 · « **Reply #645 on:** February 18, 2008, 04:59:35 pm »

I was hacking around and found this:

Anyways, is it by chance Cropped?

Yea, good job posting the picture of an admin >.>

Was your hacking by chance looking at the Tremulous Player portraits gallery? Or you could have gone to his website I suppose..

ONTOPIC: Rocinate- asking for a hint now, are the "important" tank your enemies?

Yeah, it's on my website as well as SatGnu's player gallery. If you truly were "hacking around" you'd have found photos of my wife and son too :> If "Cropped" is your guess for a game name, that's not it either. It just happens to be the name of the image file, because I cropped it from the original which isn't sitting in the same directory (actually, it's not on my website at all, but it is sitting on my laptop.)

Yes, they are. Some of them shoot at you, though the one pictured just sits there. And there's other targets that you need to shoot, or bomb, as you travel along your path.

Closest game I can find while searching google is Combat for atari.

phail, Combat looked nothing like that

Rocinante · « **Reply #653 on:** February 18, 2008, 08:54:15 pm »

Yeah, it's not combat. But it is a game for an Atari, among other platforms.

X-20 · « **Reply #654 on:** February 18, 2008, 10:44:32 pm »

Copter attack? or just helicopter i forgot which one of the names of it is.

Rocinante · « **Reply #655 on:** February 18, 2008, 10:55:31 pm »

If you meant Chopper Command, wrong platform (that was for the Atari 2600). If you meant Chopper Hunt, that's at least the right platform but still not the game :>

Here's another image, though I get the feeling I'm too old for this thread

X-20 · « **Reply #656 on:** February 18, 2008, 11:00:48 pm »

yeah i was thinking chopper command

.. this one seems sorta like one i played awhile ago but im not sure.

ODDity · « **Reply #657 on:** February 19, 2008, 09:43:18 am »

Harrier Attack?

Blue Max for the Atari 8-bit

That's the one! Blue Max by Synapse Software. Man I loved playing that game, and that system. Combines the simplicity of the Atari joystick and controls with the complexity of half-decent looking graphics (better than "you control a dot"). Screenies and score below, then off to Neo for the next one.
