I was just sparing you the trouble of making them 'cause they're both blatantly wrong.

er no.........your not trying to emulate my 'style' of wildly guessing are you

EliteII could have been it, but you didn't upgrade your character really, just the ships you flew.....

Wing Commander is not a bad guess for the clues given, but as with Elite2 you didnt really improve your self in an rpg sense.......

Buck Birdseed - i dont know that game well enough to comment, but er no its not it



ok Clue3: there was a lot of blue in this game - graphically speaking.

Clue4(cause it looks like you need it!): You could choose to be either male or female at the begining

Maybe. Or perhaps you are just a master of the method, that, when applied to attracting members of the opposite sex is known as the "shotgun technique".

Traveller ? Although can't remember if you had a spaceship but there was a RPG element and space travel was involved somewhere.

Well Standup, i know the games you mean, but its not either of them.

Buck Birdseed, thanks for the link
I think the game i'm on about was trying to emulate this classic game, Starflight sounds like the kinda game i would like to have in my growing retro collection

ok time to raise the stakes with a screen shot
Like i said it was very blue!

Well, I've figured it out using some creative Googling, does that count as cheating?

It's called cheating if that's the first thing you did... but in this case where nobody knows the answer, then why not...

With the information first given I couldn't have found out.

It's called Hard Nova.

'Creative googling' should not be encouraged.

However I've never even heard of that game, and it doesn't look like anyone was going to get it.

*shrug*

I was just curious as to what it was and had run out of ideas, I wouldn't have posted the name if I hadn't had the say-so.

So do you want a new game or not? I could refuse the "victory" if you want.

New game coming up.

Hehe, go ahead, I realise you were scrupulously honest about the searching and didn't immediately post the answer.

However, this is a guess the game competition, not a "who is best with a search engine" competition.

Preferably games should be well known enough that eventually people will get them as the clues become more blatant, like BB's earlier long set of clues that eventually reached the point I remembered the game.

I have to say for CoT's last one I wouldn't have got it even with the most blatant of clues, but someone might have.

Platform: DOS

Release Year: 1993

Genre: Unique

Clue #1: The shareware version of the game contained levels 2, 10, 11, 13, 18 and 25 from the final game. These could be played in any order.

If I gave a fuller description of the genre (in the style of, say, Action/RPG or Sports/Simulation or whatever) it'd be quite a bit easier to guess.

Clue #2: There are two common ways to die: Either you run, high-speed, into an object or you quite simply fall off the level. In some levels you can also die when your supplies run out.

Clue #3: A sound sample. This is me starting the game up, pressing enter twice to go into the menu select screen, pressing enter again to go into the first level, then pressing escape twice to quit.

Flashback was the "next game" alluded to in my last set of clues, you're behind the times.

edit: wait, no, it wasn't. I was alluding to Another World, D'oh. Still, nothing to do with this game.

Clue #4: The Estonian developers of this game spent the rest of the nineties trying (and failing) to become big-time game developers, nearly going bankrupt in the provess when a deal with struggling Interactive Magic fell through. At around the same time they decided that they'd try their hands at application design, first coding a backbone for an internet portal with limited success. Then, suddenly and dramatically, they reached the coveted success-story status by being the main development team behind FastTrack, the premier P2P architecture used by KaZaA, Grokster and others.
