Viridian talks about his kids, game development, and anything else that comes to mind.

Name That Game!

Now why didn’t I think of this? The best thing about doing it this way is that you can’t Google a screenshot.

Well, never let it be said that I don’t steal every good idea I see! Welcome to our first installment of Name That Game! And there’s really no sense in doing this if you’re not going to do it right, so we’re starting with a toughie.

What the hell is THAT?

I’m looking for the name of the game and the name of the studio that developed it. The prize? A shoutout on my next video blog! Good luck!

    Hello,

    First of all, congratulations on your blog, it’s a very interesting read.

    I think the answer is Rules of Engagement 2, a space strategy game released in 1993 (Amiga/PC(DOS)). It was developed by Omnitrend Software and published by Impressions Games.

    I loved that series. Play the space game and switch to the boarding game idea was FABULOUS.
