Clue #2: Reading up on this game it seems that the thing people remember the most (besides the game's most famous feature) is the excerpt of the front cover depicted below.

Right, I'm going to post another incidental/mood-setting clue before switching over to more blatant ones, in the form of a music excerpt. Sorry about the RAR archives I'm putting these in but Poly doesn't like MP3s.

I'm still bored of verbal clues so now I'm going for screenshots excerpts again until you get it. I might just use the one screenshot, we'll see.

Barbarian?



I believe that's the name... the one where you play 1 or 2 players (What a supprise ). Player one walks around without shirt, player two has some colored shirt... Each player has a sword, and can cut of the other players head. After each round a small green guy comes in, taking out the body and head of the player who lost!

Is that it?


There also was a Barbarian II, and I believe the health bar and music is the same in those two games... but I might be mistaking. Barbarian II wasn't just a one on one fighter, but like a walking around some "maze" to find the enemies... didn't play that one much...

Nice... I saw the picture, and guessed it... I wasn't sure though, so I also downloaded the MP3, and after hearing the first second I was completely sure about this one (I guess this tells how much I've played this game)

Another game coming right up...

This game was created in 1987. and the players played a couple girls. 4 years later a game with apparently the same graphics (Only seen the screenshots) appeired. This times the players where guys instead. The guys became famous, while the girls are only known by those who played the true classic...
I'm searching for the title of the '87 game, which appeired on both C64 and Amiga (as far as I know)

I'd say Great Giana Sisters but that's not compatible with the story you just told. So I'm not sure why I'm even guessing.

I'm not sure if Super Mario bros came as late as 1991 or so. Maybe that's what Buck is talking about.

Anyhow, I answered correctly, even if Birdseed tried to ignore that. Four minutes ahead of you, loser! I'll come up with a new game in a while.

I wasn't sure about the release date of the first Mario game either, but I just saw the game (by accident) on some site I'm not allowed to mention here, where it says the first Mario game was released in 1991. And by looking at the screenshots it had the same graphics (Except for the player graphics of course)
Of course, if someone can post a link to which proves me wrong, feel free to post it

Super Mario Bros came on NES in 1985... 1991 was the release year for Super Mario World on SNES. Oh well.

Ok... well, I've never had a NES or SNES or any gaming console, so what do I know

Maybe it was released on the C64 in 1991? Weird it had the exact same graphics though

... and yeah, those sisters were cool...

Let's put it this way- it's not a coincidence Nintendo sued the makers of Giana Sisters for plagiarism.

Doesn't make sense, if MB game with the exact same graphics as GS was released later than GS... Or did they use the same graphics on the consoles earlier?

Look, ADG, it's quite simple- Super Mario Brothers came out in 1985 on the NES and had (for the time) unique gameplay, a couple of cute cartoon siblings and a distinctive graphical theme.

Two years later Rainbow Arts' released Giana Sisters which had extremely similar gameplay (more than just "platform is platform"), featured a pair of cute cartoon siblings and even borrowed much of the graphical feel. They were not "exactly" the same as you say but pretty much.

Giana Sisters was also the better game in many ways but that didn't matter- Nintendo threatened to sue and it was withdrawn from shops after a couple of weeks.

OK, a new game for you maniacs to figure out: A strategy game from the first half of the 1990s, came on PC (DOS) as well as the amiga. Incidently, it was the first game I bought together with my Amiga 1200.

That IS giana sisters that someone has superimposed a mario sprite onto. There are no "real" Mario games for non-nintendo platforms.
