Found it!: The Machines / Universal Warrior

Hand over those MAD BONUS POINTS. 🤑

(I looked at the screenshot and was like; what is a 'nuyen'? So I searched for nuyen and found this )

Ahaha, nice detectiving. Nuyen (nu-Yen) is the unit of currency in the game. 😉

I have a funny history with this one, I used to play a ton of it at a friend's place when we were kids. I managed to utterly forget what it was and couldn't figure it out for about 15 years. The super-generic, impossible to search title didn't help. I eventually asked for help on Mobygames which resulted in someone suggesting a similar *board game* which somehow led me down the right path to find it again.

Anyway you're up!

15 years is a long time, good you retrieved it.

As a generous gesture I will pass on these MAD BONUS POINTS to the next winner. I found my local retailers won't accept these as payment anyways.

Well that fell flat on its face. I can guess with some confidence that it's a Commodore 64 game (or possibly C16 or +4), it's early (<1990), and it's not Battle Droidz. Other than that, I have no idea. Post a hint!

That's part of why I felt it should be allowed to post cropped images of more well-known games.

The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.

Okay, this is stupid. No one's going to guess what that one is after some weeks(!) and FuzzyLogic even popped back in and declined to post a hint. I'm gonna declare his entry dead & put up a (hopefully!) easier one in the interest of keeping things moving.

You don't "win" the thread if you post something so obscure that you kill it. That is actually more like losing the thread. If no one's guessed your game after 48 hours, post hints until someone does.

SO, new current game:

This should be easy if any of you played this game as much as I did, which was shitloads. 😁

Not guessing (wouldn't be a guess). I haven't got a good screenshot to post. 😀

This game was also pretty cool on Windows 3.1.

All hail the Great Capacitor Brand Finder

That game is far to obscure. No one could guess it. You killed the game, that's not winning, that's more like loosing.

I'll post w game people can guess :p

Just kidding, I had too. It's not like the name of the game is in the ulr.

Well, gdjacobs knew what it is but won't spill. 😜

Okay, here's a hint. A background element in the unrelated game Raid on Bungeling Bay led directly to the formation of the software house that published this one.

Future hints will be more direct, although that should be completely google-able.

^^ BTW your game is Ant Attack.
