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

Name That Game 37!

From the depths of space…it came to be guessed at! Yes, it’s yet another incredibly obscure space RPG.

NO GOOGLING!

Name and developer, please! Your reward will be a pin with six angels dancing on it.

    Looks like Sentinel Worlds I: Future Magic made by Electronic Arts. Is that it?

    I was hoping you would mention Karl Buiter as the developer, since he did the game practically by himself. But you are technically correct - the best kind of correct! Of course, now that means I have to get six angels to dance on the head of a pin…which could take a while.

    Wow. So you’re a theologian as well as a beaurocrat ;)

    Personally, I haven’t had much of an opportunity to play this game. I did check it out for about 10 minutes, maybe I’m just spoiled by more modern games like Fallout and Halflife. I couldn’t get past the user interface. I’ll probably try again when I have some real uninterrupted free time, after I beat Phantasy Star.
    I have heard really good things about this game and since I did play and finish Wasteland, I should be able to beat this one.
    One man game makers are pretty cool. There were quite a few back in the 80s. What other games did Karl Buiter make?

    He’s been doing quite a lot apparently.

    The other one he is most widely known for is Hard Nova…but not much after that, unfortunately.
