Guess the Video Game from the Screenshot

[Ben]

Did you know of the actual game? Or just context clues?

I'm 98% sure I played the game on PS2, though I can't recall shit about it specifically that I'm not conflating with the show. 2008 was a while ago.

I admit I recognized the character/style from the show before I remembered it had a game, though.

Yup, figured it'd be easy but tried to pick a lesser known boss. The zombies would make it too easy.

I wasn't too familiar with the game until like last month or so when a YouTuber i follow played through it

For me, that baby is fkn iconic

The soundtrack to that game continually plays on repeat in some corner of my brain.

Edit: audio warning, this starts with the Konami chime so be aware if you have your volume up. Caught me off guard.

Fair. It's just a little later in the game so not everyone would get to it, I guess.

Same baby is near the start in the mall level, no? Just a few levels into the game.

 

[dimmerwit]

Vash's is Dragon Age: Origins.

The Titanic Toddler doesn't show up until level 8, then again in the bonus stage of 22, and finally in the mall on level 25.

It's the first boss, and not as far in as I thought I guess.

Damn, I made it as far as level 25 legit as a kid???

For real. Game was hard at some points.

If I recall, it had level passwords though, so you didn't have to start over from the beginning level every single time.

Vash's is Dragon Age: Origins.

I thought so, just from the look, but I couldn't recognize any of the character portraits. That's not what I recalled Morrigan/Alistair looking like. Been a while though.

 

[dimmerwit]

I didn't either, but the GUI was recognisable enough as it's one of the few RPGs of that style that I've actually played.

[VashTheStampede]

Just gonna throw Watch_Dogs 2 out there because its in the same area. But this looks prettier.

Given the location and the decal on the cab, I'm guessing American Truck Simulator?

 

[Smacktard]

Yep but the passwords started you off with a useless weapon, meaning if you wanted to clear the game, you'd pretty much have to start from LVL 1

 

[dimmerwit]

Yes sir!

I preferred this shot but it was a bit easy.

Soldier of Fortune

Must be. I loved that game. The machine gun in the screenshot was an absolute menace. Though you couldn't beat just throwing knives at enemy's faces.

Soldier of Fortune

Mmmmmmhm. So many gibs.

Counter Strike 1.6: zombie mod

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I was quite impressed with the Dreamcast port. Despite excessively long load times and a controller set up that takes some time to learn, its a solid port.

Looks kind of like Virtua Fighter but graphics seem off

It's a PS1 era beat em up so I should really get this. I think it might be Dead or Alive.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Wasn't there a 2D version of Virtua Fighter on like, Genesis? Maybe I'm going crazy.

 

[Crazy Jamie]

Actually, I think you're right that it's a Virtua Fighter game. I can't remember his name but the guy on the left is from Virtua Fighter I think, and the guy on the floor might be... Wolf? It just wasn't quite blocky enough for me to associate it with Virtua Fighter.

 

[Quagmire]

Oh yeah I think VF2 has a genesis port

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Ok, Quagmire mentioned Virtua Fighter and the title, but Vash mentioned a VF game being on the Genesis.

It's Virtua Fighter 2 on the Genesis.

I'll let you guys decide who should go.



I bought it forever ago expecting it to be like how Virtua Racing was ported to the Genesis and was disappointed to find that they just made it a 2D Fighting game. Looking back, it makes sense to do that. Virtua Racing worked because it they used a special chip. The thing that truly made me notice interested in keeping a copy was the audio. It is AWFUL.

It's a PS1 era beat em up so I should really get this. I think it might be Dead or Alive.

Dead or Alive on the PS1/Saturn is an early 3D fighter... with ridiculous boob physics.

 

[VashTheStampede]

@Quagmire got the actual answer, should be him

fighters are Jacky and Wolf. Couldn't tell you who is who, I never really got into VF.

I do remember the boob physics. The series didn't spawn a beach volleyball game by accident.

Alien Soldier. Supposedly an excellent game by one of my favorite developers, Treasure. I've heard people say it was even better than Gunstar Heroes. I still haven't played it, but I might be buying a copy from a guy.

JP-only so I had to answer before FR had a chance to get mad about it

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Knew it looked familiar. Never played it, though. Treasure games seem to be hard to acquire and/or are super expensive.

Even Warioworld.

Correct

It's a lot of fun, but I found it hard

You can always emulate it!

 

[Smacktard]

Actually, I should clarify that Alien Soldier was also released in PAL, and was released in the US only as a Sega Channel limited-time offering. The JP version of the game is just more expensive than the PAL version because who wants to play vidya with a PAL refresh rate?

Game:

 

[Fool's Requiem]

based on limited color depth and background detail, I assume this is an NES games. that is all I can determine from this.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

did the original Duke Nukem get an NES release?

Edit: Not Duke. Neither 1 nor 2 has that UI...

Edit 2: Just going to make another guess so I can remind myself what it looks like. Xenophobe.

Edit 3: Not Xenophobe either and I'm reminded that the NES version is NOT good. I don't have any other guesses.

Open the pic in a new window and read the title for a cute lil surprise...

Shit I dunno, looks kinda like Shatterhand or a Russian version of that awesome NES Batman
