Viridian Games

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

Name That Game 8!

Here we go again…back in RPG land.

Well, it's obviously a first-person shooter of some sort.

Note: I cheated on this one just a little bit. But it should still be possible to get it.

Your reward for naming the game and developer? Eternal fame, of course! Because in the future this website will obviously be preserved as a monument to my climb to greatness. You will bask in reflected glory! (Reflected glory not guaranteed.)

    Legacy of the Ancients! Quest Software!

    Correct! How’d you guess that?

    Heh… I knew it immediately also. Played through this with a buddy of mine on his C-64 in 1988, I believe.

    Come on, that’s only 18 years ago. (ok, didn’t remember the company name)

    I played the Apple II version sometime in the poorly-remembered past. I didn’t get very far.

    That screenshot is susceptible to googling, though. Disembark + Xamine is enough text to find the game.

    I like the new color scheme, BTW. Looks good.

    Well, I guess I was wrong…Ryan, you have proved that you CAN Google a screenshot. Ah, well. Still, I have more fun when people actually get the games I present than when they don’t, so it’s okay.

    Oh, and thanks on the color scheme…I’ve GOT to get rid of this orange, but other than that I like both the colors and the layout a lot.

    I didn’t immediately recognize it.

    I played it on the C-64 and remember it very fondly. But I remember it being much more colorful and detailed that that screenshot. Ah well, the rosy mist of time at work again.

    That’s how I cheated…the PC version of Legacy of the Ancients ran in CGA and looked like this, so I used a Commodore 64 screenshot instead.
