Hi,I always tried to find old games that I played when I was little.
I've recognized almost all of them, except 2 that still haunt me (they could even be bad, but I'm curious).
Unfortunately, I only have few memories about them (we talk about 20 years ago), so this will be hard.
I have attached two approximate images based on what I remember.
------
Game1 tried on a friend's Apple computer one day:
EDIT: maybe not an Apple? See note
- the genre was scifi adventure.
You started in a room on a spaceship\spacestation while there was an emergency going.
I think I remember a reactor problem and you had to do something fast or.. die.
You could access other 2-3 screens.
I never managed to avoid death or exit the room lol.
- the image rapresents the first person view of the room, with some kind of panel on the left and a corridor on the right with 2 doors (the one at the end was locked).
I think this was the second screen of the game; in the first you could maybe see your room.
- the graphic was obviously more detailed than my image. Was the color even purple?
- there were some textual description and you had to type in commands to interact with the environment.
- I thought I could remember parts of the title, but they lead me nowhere (Time quest? Space quest? No, they're other games).
(EDIT
-I've noticed a problem: I played other games on my friend's computer, like Bubble Bobble and Prince of Persia.
Looking again at the screenshots, however, I remember seeing the DOS (IBM-PC VGA) or Amiga graphic and not the Apple\Mac one!
Weird, I was quite sure about it, but now..
or [url=http://www.mobygames.com/game/bubble-bobble/screenshots]here you can check the screens too.
- Also, probably the graphic was CGA, because I'm remembering pink+black+white+lightblue colors only.
EDIT)
-------
Game2 tried on a Commodore64 console, again one day only:
EDIT: game found by Ghorpm!
- the genre was fantasy-horror platformer, on the ghost&goblins style, but with even simpler graphic.
- I think that the game was fun, but I forgot almost everything.
I remember that among monsters, there were some weird white sitting figures that raised their hands to block your path. You had to jump over them to proceed.
- I cannot remember the hero at all (I've added it as a generic stick figure).
- I think you had lives and that you could collect items.

Any clue? (O_o)
