bronzeshield | 293 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Neither! No one's anywhere close so far. And this isn't an especially obscure game, FWIW; I had at least one childhood friend who owned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabmaster2000 | 502 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 This looks so familiar. I've got no good guess though. Very eager to see what the answer is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 4,965 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 100% wild guess but… “Football”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzeshield | 293 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Nope, not a football game of any kind, though I love the guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzeshield | 293 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) Nope! Yet there's a very odd connection between your guess and this game... Edited March 15 by bronzeshield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaden | 151 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Tower of Doom! I could tell that it was an Intellivision game by the font, but actually figuring out which one was rather tough. It's admittedly not a library I'm familiar with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could tell that it was an Intellivision game by the font, but actually figuring out which one was rather tough. It's admittedly not a library I'm familiar with. That's it! It's a really fun and remarkably deep roguelike RPG that was originally supposed to come out in 1984 as one of the Intellivision's AD&D games, but got delayed a few years because of the console crash and subsequent creation of INTV Corp. I think Tower of Doom compares favorably with a lot of the NES RPG library. The CRPG Addict, who usually dislikes console RPGs, did a nice writeup here: https://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/2021/07/game-425-tower-of-doom-1987.html Edited March 15 by bronzeshield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzeshield | 293 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Oh, and by the way, the scrolling phrase is "I HAVE THE POWER", which is what the game tells you when you drink a potion that temporarily extends your health bar to massive lengths. A sly little He-Man reference there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaden | 151 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Seems like a pretty neat game! I guess it's my turn now (although it admittedly doesn't feel fair since I had to look up all the Intellivision games to find it). I tried to pick a good one. So, here it goes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's my turn now (although it admittedly doesn't feel fair since I had to look up all the Intellivision games to find it). Oh, it's totally fair! If you figure out a game's platform, looking through its library is 100% fair game. Those long videos with every game for a system are a huge help. Really the only thing that's questionable is a reverse image search since Google is just telling you the answer. Just about anything else is fair, IMHO, and it's the responsibility of the poster to crop the images in a way that prevents reverse search. Frankly I was surprised no one twigged the Intellivision font from my third post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzeshield | 293 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Oh, forgot to follow up on this: the "odd connection" I mentioned earlier is that Warlord is one of the character classes in Tower of Doom. Arguably the most powerful one, in fact, so it's kind of the game's equivalent of easy mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were trying to hint that it was a Warlords clone, (like Medieval Mayhem), but the graphics didn't match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaden | 151 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Well, the timing on this was pretty bad since the NES weekly contests JUST started. So, I don't expect there to be many guesses. The only guess so far is incorrect. I'll share another picture, but this might be giving it away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
