You're in good company... ...but that soundtrack, man, it hits me right in the proverbial feels. I'm hard-pressed to think of a game that makes me want to be a teenager again more intensely than that does. Totally serious -- I find it intensely moving -- hope to play it with my kid someday (she'll probably put me in a home for it though). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez | 2,989 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I haven't actually played the game but for some reason the ground texture immediately brought that game into my head. The hint text sealed it though. The game actually has really cool music, and I'd forgotten all about that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH | 4,965 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 @Sumez Was that a screenshot from an emulator and was the resolution increased above what the output would have been back in the 90s for the original device? This feels like a game running off of SEGA Model-2 or 3 hardware. My gut reaction would be Virtua Fighter 3, but I don't think that's it. The pixel count seems a bit high if I'm on the right track, especially if this is a cropped image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez | 2,989 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) @RHyou are very very close. I just took it from a YouTube video and I did think the resolution looked quite high. Though official high res versions of this game do exist. However the image isn't cropped very much Edited August 16, 2023 by Sumez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was stuck thinking it was Virtua Fighter until I realized it was a Virtua Fighter character, but just in a different game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-type | 2,520 Posted August 22, 2023 Author Share Posted August 22, 2023 the indexed-color video compression artifacts are a bit of a give-away that its a FMV game, which makes it a pretty short list of possible titles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
