I decided to branch out this turn.

Clue 1:

An iconic platform game for the NES and possibly other 8 bit systems.

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Early nineties, Arcade, Sega Mega Drive ("Genesis" to 'Mercans) and Game Gear.

Clue #1: The green ones, the red ones and the blue ones I can pretty well imagine. The turquoise and purple and yellow ones make some sort of sense. But orange? Why did they decide to make some of them orange?

Hey, it's arcade as well! Go get some emulators ADG.

Clue#2: There was supposed to be some sort of connection to an ancient roman game. The whole thing was spectacularly unconvincing.

Took me ages to remember what it was actually called.
It was piles of gems, wasn't it? I got it after the first clue really, but haven't played it in years so didn't remember whether it had a Roman background to go with clue 2 or not.

Never mind. New question coming anon.

Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

Right, this game, like most of thsoe I remember, was played mostly on the Amiga, but it also had incarnations on the ST, PC and some of the 16 bit consoles. Hopefully this will allow more people to have decent guesses - unlike last time.

It was released at the end of the '80s, and was one of a series of games. Give me the name of this series and I'll accept it.

Clue 1 - Shooting? But I'm not suited to that kind of thing!

I can't remember any shooting in Leisure Suit Larry, but then I only played one of them and wasn't overly impressed.

Clue 2 - Once suited and booted, I scrolled (sideways) and shooted.

No, but that's what I thought of when I gave the second clue. Next one will have to be a little more specific.
Besides, you never actually put the Robocop suit on. The suit was Robocop, there wasn't a (physically complete) person inside it.

Some adjustments for the pedants there

[edit]But it seems that there were still not enough adjustments for the exceptionally pedantic. See below.[/edit]

I don't want to complain but you are supposed to think of the game you set when you pick the clues, not other games.

Your jokes are atrocious!

I don't remember LSL scrolling sideways though.
It scrolled every direction, depending upon where you told him to walk.
*duke braces himself for some terrible LSL "scrolling" jokes*

Do we get a clue for the actual game or do we just talk about LSL and Robocop some more?
