SOunds a bit like one of the Traveller games where you pick your history as part of your stat rolling.

Nope.

In the beginning,
the Earth was without form,
and void.

But the Sun shone upon the sleeping Earth
and deep inside the brittle crust
massive forces waited to be unleashed.

The seas parted
and great continents were formed.
The continents shifted, mountains arose.
Earthquakes spawned massive tidal waves.
Volcanoes erupted
and spewed forth fiery lava
and charged the atmosphere
with strange gases.

Into this swirling maelstrom
of Fire and Air and Water
the first stirrings of Life appeared:
tiny organisms, cells, and amoeba,
clinging to tiny sheltered habitats.

But the seeds of Life grew,
and strengthened, and spread,

and diversified, and prospered,
and soon every continent and climate
teemed with Life.

And with Life came instinct,
and specialization, natural selection,
Reptiles, Dinosaurs, and Mammals
and finally there evolved a species
known as Man
and there appeared
the first faint glimmers of
Intelligence.

The fruits of intelligence were many:
fire, tools, and weapons,
the hunt, farming, and the sharing of food,
the family, the village, and the tribe.
Now it required but one more ingredient:
a great Leader
to unite the quarreling tribes
to harness the power of the land
to build a legacy
that would stand the test of time:

a CIVILIZATION!

I used to love that game on my Amiga - it was the Aga version and it looked beautiful

I'd forgottenabout this one

I think we should skip the "No games after 1993" rule. It's becoming too limiting. Grim is a later game that worked perfectly anyway...

That said:

New game is the game I'm playing at the moment. Unfortunately, unlike most emulated console games, it's not really suited for keyboard control.

Clue #2: (I know it's too soon but #1 was really obtuse). The reason it's difficult to control with a keyboard is because you use the diagonals more than the "normal" directions.

I'm all in for removing the '93 rule, since we've had almost (yeah right! ) all games before that

Grim fu**in Fandango! who'd have thought it.......

Well we could extend it a little to 97?(2000 and its a bit recent ) What people think?

As for my guess im going with 'Starfox' that snes game i thinkit was - with the anime cartoon chars( a fox was one of them).

Sonic,

Yeah ditch the '93 rule, that will open this up a bit. I'm not sure I like the inclusion of consol games though. Never owned one of those.

I'm doing loads of small clues this time around, since I'm playing the game and it's fresh in my memory. This is the last one for tonight though.

Clue #4: It's not "Jak and Daxter" but there is a "Zak" and a "Dexter" that act as your rivals during a certain portion of the game. Zak is an obsessively dedicated knight, Dexter is a giganting scaly bewinged "Drakkonian" Bounty Hunter whose diet consists of raw meat and who has a penchant for buying expensive art.

Clue #5: You can stand on top of practically everything in this game, including furniture, people, animals, objects that harm you... In fact near the beginning there's a secret "Life Stock" (extra hit point/strength thingy) that you can get by jumping from a dog to a guard to a statue.

I'm sorry, I messed up which one was Zak and which one was Dexter. It's the other way around, not that it matters.

Clue #6: The entire game is set on an island. During the wars of an earlier era a king came to hide there.
