One of the reasons I like the variety is that it makes it more interesting if you're going to "research your way" to the solution instead of instantly recognizing it. Then you'll have to take into account how old it looks, et.c.
Anyway, I'm pretty certain I'm right about Ankh, so okay. New game. It's old, but very famous. In fact, I'd be disappointed it's not been recognized within 5 minutes. I love the music in this one, btw. More than I love the game itself, actually.

Ghosts 'n Goblins

Your turn :-)
Also, for those interested, the pic was from the C64-version. It's the one with the best music. :-)

True, the C64 music for G'n'G was absolutely fantastic :-)

Well, the tread is there, whether you see the point of it or not.

New question.

Your turn again. :)

A well known racer that appeared on many platforms and were popular at the time of release (especially on the PC, though my pictures are from the C64-version). I added some non-racing pictures as well, to make it easier to remember.
Edit: ok, removed one of the pictures as it had the publishers name in it. i'll add another one.
Edit 2: oh drat, whatever. it's late, so it's just good that it's easy :-)

Grand Prix Circuit from Accolade.

That's an incorrect or incomplete title. ;-)
Edit: ok, it's correct now. Your turn.

Here is the new question.

Damn, I remembered that the game had the logo of Accolade (the blue one, with the line drawn under), but in I though that was Acclaims' logo, so I started searching for the name of car games made by Acclaim.. None fit... :-P

Atic Atac

Yes, your turn. :)

This one also had excellent music. I was inspired by the turkey in the other screenshot. It works exactly the same in this one, as a life indicator.
