Psyringe: Here's a game that was quite revolutionary at its time. If anybody complains that any mildly complex strategy game "plays like a spreadsheet", he should have a look at this one. It basically _is_ a spreadsheet. ;)
Damn I'm sure I had that on the Amiga - no idea what it was called though, didn't play it much, put off by the fact that its basically just a spreadsheet!
I'm sure it was in colour on the miggy though so I assume those are Mac screens, ironic that the Mac used to be B/W and now it's all about the graphics for the arty professional types!

The screens are actually from the DOS version - it does have a bit of color in a few selected screens (stars on the star map were yellow/red), but it's mostly b/w. Personally I played the game on an Atari ST, which was pure b/w. I've never seen the Amiga version, so it may well be even more colorful. ;)

"no more windows allowed" ..hot diggity memory is failing, full speed you fat thing who moves the ship-wheel.. Only rescue is to drink as much salty warer as we can and see if the sea is more dry. Or install some mac OSX.. "so I drank till me lungs were full of some kind of merman and with babies. It was disgusting and rightly so..

Where was I going? Oh yes, back, back to to the future.. also with flames. *man has lost it all*

Edit: salty snacks? Gladly.

I just have no idea.

Well, if I would hear even that word in some tape I would be sure what it is. My official statement is it is why.
unofficial is: what is he talking about mermaids flying in the moon with sharpened pencils.

Hrmh.. I take the 3. answer.

Edit2: I'm going to.. aww forget about it. But watch where you put your straw. I'm few minutes away, I'm going to smoke and take a beating, then the fun stops and rutine begins..

Imperium, but I had to look it up

Edit: going offline soon. Damn, it's hard to find a game that wasn't already posted.

Uhm... Falcon?

Nope
Should be fairly popular, it was great for it's time. That's the PC version, looks like other platforms had different UI. You could choose your airplane, choose the armament, there were bombing missions as well as fighting other jets and there was even multiplayer over modem/com port. Landing the thing was the hard part, I broke the chair I was sitting on first time I managed to do it. :)

Alright, I wonder how many people can get this one without cheating.
If you're sure you've got the answer you don't have to wait for me since I probably won't be back for about ten hours or so.

Hmm either everybody is out having a life or the screenshot is too obscure.
First hint, it's a Famicom game.

I think that it's 'Scary Larry II: The Adventures of the Manic Igloo'

but I could be wrong
