	Name the Game - Part 3 Increase the size of your Attachments

... and here's the third part...


I start out, by writing a little about a game, the first one who guess's the game, may post some new game info, for others to guess...

Game rules:
- Games are not allowed to be newer than Amiga games, but anything before that is allowed (No matter on which computer it was played on)
- you shall write information about which computer you played it on
- Don't write part of the name in the game info, unless there's no way to avoid it
- Write as little as possible, if nobody can guess, write some more later
- Try to keep games, to be from computers, most people have had...
- If you're the first one to guess a game, and you're certain you're right, feel free to post your game info (In case you know you'll be leaving soon)... but other players are not allowed to start guessing, before the poster of the first question has approved the answer, or most other players approve the answer

Clue repost:

Genre: Action
Released: late 80s
Platform: DOS only AFAIK, Mobygames claims C64 also which is a strange combo methinks.

Clue #1: If you stay parked too long initially you'll get gunned down by the enemy's non-player-controlled helicopters that are usually just a minor annoyance.

Seeing as it involves helicopters I'm thinking of another game involving harriers. But that's probably not the one. Perhaps...: Infiltrator 2?

Alas, no.

Clue #2: This game allows you to shoot and/or destroy pretty much everything. Walls, gun turrets, gates in your enemy's base (your own open automatically), buildings, hangars, fuel silos, trees, helicopters, foot soldiers... the last of these can also be run over, producing a wonderful squish sound effect IIRC.

Walls and gates you say. That can mean only firepower .

So you're in the game again eh?

Sorry guys, it's another poem coming up, 'cause Cap is quite right: the game is Capture-the-flag-with-tanks classic Fire Power.

Damn! Why do you always have to get relatively easy games when I'm drunk or asleep? Is it some kind of conspiracy?

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

An easy game for one person is difficult for another. I would have got Discworld Noir based on the first clue, yet when I opened up the thread in the morning two more clues and dozens of wrong guesses had been posted...

You want an easy one? I've got those by the ton!

This one is from the late 80's, originated at the 16-bit homecomputers but was ported later to others as well.

This was by done by a couple of bro's
One could say they were real pro's...
If oen thing stood out it was the music.
Whatever the beat, it certainly was psychosomatic

Brothers, brothers. Bitmap brothers? I believe most of their games was early nineties, but how about Xenon?

The only actual brothers I can think of in the game industry are the Collyer brothers and AFAIK none of the Champ Man games have had music...

I was actually thinking of Xenon 2, but seeing I was referring to the Bitmap Brothers IŽll allow this as the answer.

Told you it was easy

Oh. It's me again. I've actually played Xenon 2, unlike Xenon, but I don't think that's an eighties game... Maybe it is.

New game coming up.

Right, a new game for you. Early nineties, DOS at the very least.

First clue is a sound sample. Might make it too easy actually, but never mind.

I remember that sound I think, but I need some other type of clue to help out.

It's actually called "The Games: Winter Challenge" but okay.

In hindsight I should have skipped the bowl.

Okay mid '80's wargame.

It was one of three games that came out in this time period from this publisher. This one dealt with the Euro theatre.

I hope it's not Theatre Europe.

First the clue would be obvious.
Second, I already posted the same game.
