Play with Nuts! - GAME #2

As the last game was won so quickly by Choozoo, and I'm eager to try a new mystery on you fine fellows, I decided not to wait 2 weeks.

Based on the clues that will be given over a period of time, please identify the video game in question. You must provide the name and publisher to win. This time around the prize is a $10.00 gift certificate from Amazon. (Again, thanks to Choozoo for passing on the $5.00 thus upping the pot)

Clue #1 is this image

Pac Man?

I played this one on my Tandy PC when I was a kid (around 1990). It's Starflight 2 in beautiful EGA. Here's a tip: Stay the hell out of the nebulas; there be nasties in there. :)

There's no way in hell I'm gonna get this one. It looks like an early Star Trek game, possibly an Empire remake.

I don't see a picture?

No picture loading, I demand a recount! :tongue:

www.billandiris.com is down.

Sorry for the outage of the site... crud.
Either way, Palooka guessed it right.

StarFlight 2 from EA Games was and still is one of the best PC Games ever made. With over 800 planets to explore, a ship to customize, crews to train, a cool rover to mine for minerals, aliens to fight with and deal with, all on two 5 1/4in floppy disks, this game dominated an entire summer in my life when it came out.

You can find bootleg copies that work on modern PC's, but of course you'll need the decoder ring (early anti-piracy technology) to run it.

As my site crashed shortly after uploading it, I'd hate to give anyone an unfair advantage. After a serious 2 minute thought, I've decided to null this game and start another one later today. I hope everyone understands and I'm sorry about the screw-up. Not my intention.

But the riddle was solved before the site went down, so what difference does it make? I would have won, anyway. I smell controversy!

He is right.. and I don't really demand a recount.. :tongue:

You are correct as I neglected to note the times. Congrats to Palooka! Palooka has one a $10.00 amazon.com gift certificate! Stay tuned for another game in 2 weeks.

Looks like I'm going to have to try harder in these riddles.

Wow, and i thought i was a True geek lol. good fun!

Also, I suppose, to make things fair I should do this at a set time/day. Perhaps Mondays at 1200 (Pacific). I'm making all this stuff as I go along, so feel free to give suggestions.

Nuts,

Don't give him the cash until he fixes the logs!

I opt to grow the pot.

Oops! You already sent the certificate. Is there any way we can void it?

Crud. Too late.

I guess that'll be a modification to the game rules. If you guess correctly, you must choose to opt out or keep the prize.


Trying to void it, but no luck so far. The e-mail process is so quick.
