    This should be a fun lil game for this forum.

    Basically, the rules are simple. Someone posts a screenshot to a game, and the forum has to guess what game it is, and for what system. Then the next person posts their screenshot.

    Ok, I will start. This one should be fairly easy:

    Space Invaders, Atari 2600? It's turned 90 degrees,though. :huh:

    EDIT: It's not Space Invaders. It's Yars Revenge.

    ^ Wow, that's a tough one, because I was never into those text based games. I will have to guess PC, and um...is it part of the King's Quest series?

    Aurora got it. It's Bard's Tale on an Apple IIe. I figured the name "Brian the Fist" would've given it away. :D

    /\ It has to be some sort of Lord of the Rings game, as I don't know any other series with Hobbits.

    Angband is a free text-based dungeon crawl that I played way to much of in college. Basically Diablo with a lot more depth and text graphics. Same genre as Nethack, but better IMO. The game is still being actively maintained today. It's a good time waster if you don't get hung up on the graphics.

    That would be Ultima VII! Not sure what the keyboard's doing there, but the graphics are unmistakable.

    I want to say Berserk, but there are Goblins, so no. Is it Venture for the Atari 2600?

    You need a bit more ingenuity in your cheating to discover that it's Faery Tale Adventure. :?:

    Here's an easy to figure out one, but I really like the screenshot:

    Is that The Force Unleashed?

    The ships look vaguely like Star Wars ships.
