Well it was Icarus who flew too close to the sun. I don't recall playing it, but I think there was a Nintendo game called Kid Icarus. Would that be it?

for Dr Spike (that should be a banana!)

for RPMisCOOL, our winner

Oh yeah the name of the game was given in the first clue, and Icaurus was the name of your funky ship on the left most screen shot.

It was released in 1988 on Amiga and Atari ST, with PC and MAC ports a bit later.

An excellent oldie game, and still really good to this day

Okay, this should be easy.

While playing with your friends, you could exclaim, "Dude, you are a total bonzoid" and be right on the house.

Although I did not know it at the time, started on Atari800 then onto C64 then onto NES, even had IBMPCJr port I think?

I played the C64 version; it was always challenging to end your turn with a drink.

I only remember one game, where you had to end each level with a drink, but I'm not sure what the game character said during the game...

I don't remember the name of the game, but it was something about some dude on a skateboard (if I remember right), who was rolling on the road, trying to avoid the cars, while taking something from the cars (Cola or something I think)...

Got spare money?

Sounds like you mean "Skate or Die." That game was way cool, for the time. But, alas, that is not the one that I'm looking for. Keep in mind that I'm giving clues that need to be decoded before they make sense.

1. While playing with your friends, you could exclaim, "Dude, you are a total bonzoid" and be right on the house.
2. No my little flapper, no!
3. Although I did not know it at the time, started on Atari800 then onto C64 then onto NES, even had IBMPCJr port I think?
4. I played the C64 version; it was always challenging to end your turn with a drink.
5. The 1st turn (of 12) always involved landing on the backward first machine planet.

Well i guess the protracted silence means we haven't got a clue as to what this game is?

More clues or i may have to give up!

A 12 turn computer game???!!!

You didn't dream it up in a youthful bout of excess and indulgence one night by any chance?

How about if I decipher the clues for the rest of the folks that also seem to be lost.

1. While playing with your friends, you could exclaim, "Dude, you are a total bonzoid" and be right on the house.
(The clues here are "multiplayer, bonzoid, and house").
2. No my little flapper, no!
(Just the clue, "flapper").
3. Although I did not know it at the time, started on Atari800 then onto C64 then onto NES, even had IBMPCJr port I think?
(Just gives the timeframe early '80s and machines thereof).
4. I played the C64 version; it was always challenging to end your turn with a drink.
(C64 was the most popular version, ending your turn by getting a drink...in the "pub").
5. The 1st turn (of 12) always involved landing on the backward first machine planet.
(Yes 12 long turns, the game was over in a couple of hours. The first machine I mentioned was "Atari", backwards is Irata.)

This reminds me of a game, but the other clues doesn't sound like this is the game...

Ok

M.U.L.E was a great game, especially against a friend
It used to make me laugh out loud and the music was excellent on the Atari 8bits
Here's a link to a bit more info about this great game link .
I believe they did a remake recently - dont know what that was like though.



ok something dead easy after that

So easy in fact i'm just going to say one word:

'Icecream!'

I've tried a "sequel" for this one, don't remember who made it, but it wasn't as addictive... actually it was really boring... anyway, I'll come up with another game shortly...

More hints:

3) You can buy stuff for you "machine" to use in other "maps". This could include mines and missiles and more...
4) The people you get to talk to, could be from the police department, or someone asking you questions about certain laws
