Name the Game.... "Ahh...She went thatta way"

[stigzler]

So it's from 1989 + it has a cutscene! Hmmm... Amiga? Or maybe SNES or Gensis - bit of a gaming blank this era for me - did 8 bit, skipped 16 then picked up at 32

 

[Adultery]

Well, I guess that depends on your definition of a "cutscene". Lots of 8-bit games had dialog before boss (or mid-boss) fights.

[stigzler]

A side scrolling beat em up?

[Adultery]

Perhaps! I don't wanna hold up progress, so your final clue is:

What's the next line??

[hansolo77]

Grr.. I don't recognize that game.   Looks like a shot from Abobo's Big Adventure though, the NES remake game.

[Adultery]

Yikes, it's a cult classic! On my top 5 for sure!

[Kustom Kid]

It's River City Ransom, but I'll be damned if I can remember what the next line is.

[Adultery]

It is indeed! With our without the next line, it's all yours!

[Kustom Kid]

What's the next line?

 

Here's a softball for you guys:

"Why am I still alive? The baby. ________ ____ __ __."

This is crazy, I actually ran across this game over coffee this morning.....and this was after some extensive searching on this one.

 

Check #1

yes I resorted to cheating, not that it helped!

Extract from that link:

" Everyone enjoyed beating on lesser guys to steal their money. Even better was being able to spend that money to boost your stats. It was the true definition of being the bullies who stole lunch money from kids. Simple, yet addictive.  "

And they all moaned about GTA when it came out..

[stigzler]

P.S. Shall we change the Game to "Cor, blimey, governor, that's...." and then name the game instead of the next line? Think the spot the game is hard enough!

[Kustom Kid]

Spot the game will probably be a bit easier. We're so hard up to stump each other we're culling from the darkest regions of gaming.

Hey come on, mine was just from 98

Nope. 

Here's the next line:

"Mother. Time to go."

[hansolo77]

So here's a pitch from left field..

Alien?

They called their computer "Mother".  So maybe?  Don't know what system.

It's not Aliens, but the series was influenced by the movies. Particularly the first two games by the first two movies.

[hansolo77]

Wow I'm getting warm huh?  Better than some people lol.

So not Alien or Aliens, but influenced by those movies.  So maybe some type of survival horror set in space.  You mentioned it's a series, so it has sequels...

Dead Space?

[stigzler]

Metroid?

Close enough. It's Metroid: Other M, but I'm one of 1,587 people that actually own and have played it.

Here's a LINK to the similarities between the games and movies.

You're up Stigz.
