Ninja Gaiden?

Correct, I guess my first attempt was a little too easy.

 

[steviejay]

I love how they're blatantly using the Castlevania Engine for that game

 

[Rheinmetall]

Correct, I guess my first attempt was a little too easy.

I don't see any problems with easy questions. I have asked too hard questions and kept this thread for days.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

That was an EASY question ????
You are joking right ?

 

[Chukchi Husky]

What's this game?

You are probably right, depends on the person I guess. Like the Oregon Trail question, it seemed a few people didnt know it, but as soon as I saw that screenshot all my grade school day memories came rushing back.

As for the new question, I feel like I have played this game in an arcade before but I cannot remember a name.

 

[Steph]

Could it be Vroom?

 

[Till]

I have no idea about this one. Chuk is out until Monday, so we'll have to manage without clues.

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Darn, he was clever enough to give it a sensible name.

Alright, it looks quite similar to an old MegaDrive/Genesis game I once had, but the name of that game fails me also. How annoying.

 

[Till]

I'd have guessed NES for no particular reason. Judging from screenshots, it doesn't seem to be "Vroom", but i might be wrong.

 

[Rheinmetall]

Some Outrun wannabe game. No idea what.

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

It isn't actually Outrun is it? Would be mighty ironic if it was.

 

[Rheinmetall]

Well I haven't seen it on all platforms so I wouldn't know.

 

[Joeb WK]

It's not Pole-Position is it?

 

[Chukchi Husky]

It's not Vroom.

It's not a Mega Drive game.

It's not a NES game.

It's not Pole Position.

Should I give a clue?

 

[Till]

Yes, please!

 

[Chukchi Husky]

This game was for a console released in the early nineties based on an eight bit microcomputer from the early eighties.

 

[jafink]

wow i wasnt alive back then so i have no clue.
Hopefully some more recant games will be in this game also.

 

[Rheinmetall]

NEC Turbografx-16 (PC-Engine) or it's follower TurboDuo are the only consoles matching the description. Other 8-bits are too old and all other post 1990 consoles are 16-bit. Only game I found for US-Turbografx looking anything like your screenshot is Victory Run though I suspect if it's the correct answer.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

It's not Turbografx-16. I don't know if this console was released outside Britain, and the cartidges could work on a rereleased version of the microcomputers. The company who made the console is owned by the 71st richest person in Britain.
