Viridian Games

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

Name That Game 32!

Today we are kicking it really, really old-school.

Third person shooter...not too many of those...

Name and developer, please! Plus, a few years after this version was made, the same company (under a new name) remade it to be more action-oriented and released it under a different name. Bonus points if you can name that game too!

Your reward will be…hmmm…

Well, now I’m thinking. When I bought The Orange Box I got a free gift certificate for Half-Life 2 and Episode 1 (since I already owned them) and I’ve been wondering what to do with them. It wouldn’t be fair to give them away on this Name That Game…but maybe next week I’ll do a super-special one and award them as a real prize! So I guess your reward today is that you know I’m going to do this next week!

    That looks kinda like “The Movie Monster Game,” which I had for my Apple II!

    I think this must be “Crush, Crumble, and Chomp,” published by Automated Simulations, which later became Epyx.

    “The Movie Monster Game” that I remember must have been the updated version!
