Title: Guess the Screenshot!?
Post by: TazzyUK on June 09, 2006, 10:39:17 AM
I like the idea they have on 'eab.abime.net'

The 'Guess the Screenshot'. It encourages communication and feedback and also educates us in some Amiga games that we may have played loads but couldnt remember
(I for once have had my memory jogged by games that that I couldnt remember playing but was mentioned in the above quiz!)
They have a table showing who has had the most questions right.

If we implemented something on here, it doesn't have to be screenshots...could be trivia based inc such trivia as characters, game titles, software publishers etc etc

If someone has already mentioned this then my apologies.

er well my 3000 is poorly
Suppose I could do it via this PC (using http://www.lemonamiga.com and http://hol.abime.net)
We could try it first and if its popular, then maybe introduce score table etc.
Since there are no rules.....(Apart from winner via posted message here plays next screenshot!)

Yes it is zoomed but says alot and would have been too small otherwise (too easy if shown more!). One of my favourite games on the Amiga!

This is the wrong section of the forum to start this...

I recall we used to have such games here before..

I have absolutely no clue on what that screenshot is taken from. Any hints? :)

More of the background would have made it very recognisable (to me anyway)
I started with a Hard one.

Clue..
The pic is clear, _______ clear

That gives it away!!  (might as well start the ball rolling!)

Toooooooo easy. Railroad Tycoon by Microprose! Both the screen shot and your avatar.

Spent a lot of time with that. "Look dad, I'm learning to build railroads!!" :lotsacoffee:

Limiting your stations to 20 (or whatever number it was) was b.s. :-P "Why can't I take over the continent??

I read somewhere an interview with Sid Meier (the greatest game designer of all times, at least for me) and I remember he said something like... that they where seriously limited by CPU speed and memory size, so they had to put a limit to keep the game runing smoothly.

Some Sid Meier games I remember:
Railroad Tycoon, Civilization, Colonization, F15 Strike Eagle, Silent Service, Pirates, Covert Action, Gettysburg... (as well as remakes of those).

Sorry. No way to do screen grabs, and no games to speak of to grab them from!
