Name the Video Game - Browser game

Post by Tiduas »

Hi all,

I made a browser game (works on desktop and mobile) in which you are presented with different images from different games and you have to specify from which game each image comes from.

Let me know if you have any issues with it, otherwise I hope you'll enjoy it. Let us know in the thread what score you got and if any entries are driving you mad, I'm living for that kind of thing. :wink:

It can be found here:

Fun! I got 16/31 - I don't recognize 5-7, 10, 12, 14, 16, 17-20, and 25-28.

Some of those (12, 14, 18, 20, 26 and 27) I feel like I *should* recognize, but I don't!

Oh, man, 12 is iconic. 10 I recognize but I don't remember what it's called. It's actually bothering me! Same with 31. I can give a hint on 26 if you like.

I managed 25.

I missed:
4, 6, 7, 14, 16, 26.

I'm confident I'd not be able to name 4 of those (I'll be surprised if I've played them before) but number 14 looks very familiar somehow.

26 I'm sure I could name if I just kept typing in the names of various shmups, but I didn't fancy brute forcing it.

A few of them that took a while were actually games I know well, but it took a while to figure out what I was looking at - Number 2 for example.

I suspect that 12 might be iconic but is probably an SNES game and I've never owned that console...
I'll take a hint for 26!

And I can give you a hint for 31
It's a more recent game than it appears. More indie game than retro game!

1. You're correct that it's SNES.
2. It's a classic shooter, but never got a native console release.

I haven't played (m)any new games, so I only got a dozen, too. Less than you.

My list: 1-3, 7, 8, 12, 13, 15, 19, 20, 23, 26, 29

I didn't do well, and gave up lol.
It's a very well made game - you should make another.
