5: Ys (SMS)
10: Snatcher
12: Tapper (INTV)

7. Phantasy Star III?
10. Snatcher
13. Duke Nukem: A Time To Kill
14. Wonder Boy?
15. Omikron?
20. Blade Runner?

EDIT: Kind of off-topic, but Neo, I've heard more than once that SplatterHouse 3 was originally in development for the Neo Geo, but was ported over to the Genesis. Normally, I would think that SplatterHouse 3 on the Neo Geo was a crock, but I've heard this more than once, and specifically with SplatterHouse 3. Any truth to this?

1. Bust a Groove (PS1)
2. Space Bar (PC)
3. Shining and the Darkness (GEN)
5. Y's (PC)
9. Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines (PC)
10. Snatcher (uhh...PCE?)
12. Tapper (VCS)
13. Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes (PS1)
14. Wonder Boy IV (just a guess, probably one of the WBs) (MD)
19. Shadowrun (MD)

I wish I could remember what 16 is.

Damn you Kev, you got the one I know :(

Shining in the darkness heh.

Oh, 18 is Ishar

I recognize quite of few of these, but can't remember the titles..

Anyway, is number 6 Wing Commander 1? Seems to be an Origin space sim..

Number seven is 7th Saga.

17 is Wanted (SMS)

15 is Omikron: The Nomad Soul(PC/DC)

to confirm epmodes's post number 6 is WCI Sega CD version?

2 is Starship Titanic.

I think.

Correct answers so far:

That's the first I have heard of it. It would cool if that were true and a prototype exists.

Wasn't 8 one of the Space Quest games?

And is 20 Blade Runner?

Although I don't have any answers this week, I do like the theme setting. Possible suggestions for other themes.

Water worlds
Ice worlds
2D platformers
FPS
etc,etc

You get the point. I like it.

Good ideas. I will likely do stuff like the ice and water themes some time. Genres I already decided not to do as it infringes on one of the wacky rules I gave myself when making quizzes. ;)

1. Only games I have played(at least briefly).
2. 10 Western developed games, 10 Eastern developed games.
3. Must span several genres and systems.
4. Only games I find interesting. I don't necessarily have to be a fan but I don't want too many generic games.

big negatory on that. The VGA ones had hand-painted art except 6, which was hi-res and had a distinctly shitty look.

Except there was an Amiga version. ;)

Is 20 The Longest Journey? I don't recall that exact spot but the style reminds me heavily of it.

Definitely not.

Shame, Shame, Shame on all of you for not getting #8 by now.

Its Neuromancer. C64 version it looks like.

Ya know, that whole "cyberspace" thing...

I have a C-64 and over 500 games for it; all (cough!) legit. I've never heard of or played that game.

Really?

The top 5 I remember were:

Beachhead
Archon
Jumpman
The Bard's Tale
Summer Games

I've never heard of the game. Who made/published it?

Developed by Interplay, published by EA. I was going to post a pic of a 16-bit port instead but they all have the name of the game on the screen.

The game contained the novel of the same name (written by famous sci-fi author William Gibson). It's one of the reasons why I bought it.

Also, the title music was done by Devo. Another cool fact.

It was also released in 1988 .. you may have moved on to another platform by then.

I want to play 'the space bar'... Is it worth installing that OS9 'classic' thingy in OSX for?

There's a PC port. It's a pretty cool game.

Most retailers quit carrying C-64 games around that time. I picked up an Amiga 500 back in 89, so I more than likely quit looking for C-64 titles by then.

Yeah, it was pretty much the last big hurrah for the C64 in the US, after that any game had to be found on BBSes and "Imported and NTSC Fixed" for the US C64.

Ill never forget the first time I loaded it up and was hearing digitized actual music coming out of the speakers... pretty amazing as the PC was still putting out beeps squawks and buzzes at the time.

The game was amazingly deep for the time, but considering what company produced it, its not suprising.
