Looks like it's from the Wizardry series, but the first few games all looked pretty much the same. Is it from the second game in the series? Wizardry: The Knight of Diamonds

Enjoy.

Firstly, this isn't a game.

Secondly, it's Progress Quest.

Thirdly, I played it for weeks.

---next shot to come---

It IS a game, one of the "fire and forget" genre.

But is it a video game

Does it have moving pictures?

e_i_pi · Post by **e_i_pi** » Thu Aug 07, 2008 9:51 am

It has moving progress bars. Anyhoo... next pic...

This may be a tough one. I'll give you a hint. It was made in 1984 for the C64, Atari, and the Apple IIe. If it's not solved in the next few days, I'll tell you which major gaming company (that is still around) made it:

It is displayed on a video display device...

Alright, seems like a bit of a poser. I'll say it was made by Electronic Arts. Not much point putting up more screen shots as they all kinda look like that one

*sigh* Alright, a bit too hard it seems. The game was Realm of Impossibility for the C64. Great game in that it incorporated optical illusions.

So, we'll go onto an easier one (hopefully easier hehe):

Do you have a bigger one? It's impossible to read the text.

Was that some sort of sequel for Civilization?

It certainly was. The setting was - you were the spaceship that left earth (at the end of Civ). In fact there were 7 spaceships that left, and during the long journey through space to Aplha Centauri, each of the ships factionalised, so you had 7 factions each with a specialisation:
Spartan Federation - military
Gaia's Stepdaughters - environment
University of Planet - science
Peacekeeping Forces - diplomacy
Human Hive - social
Lord's Believers - religion
Morgan Industries - industrial

It was a great game... you could design your own units, so you could design and produce Settler units with weapons that could fight their way through enemy territory to outlying regions and settle there. Probably the best Civ series game I've played, I wish they'd remake it. The storyline was absolutely fantastic (yes, it had an actual storyline). Amazing cut-scenes too.

It was all the rage back then in gaming magazines. Never got to play that though.

Anyway, here's the only game I have access to right now:

Nope.

Just to kick of investigative types out there, the game is free.

The Battle for Wesnoth

I'll think of something and put up the next screenshot shortly
