Pushover?

Hey, the name I came up with for this game was way better! I should be the one making these obscure European PC puzzlers!

 

[Waffles]

Yes. It's either go so goddamn deep nobody knows it or have it guessed in less than 5 minutes with you guys LOL.

That's why I love y'all xD

 

[jankusanagi]

Woooohoo!

Yes. It's either go so goddamn deep nobody knows it or have it guessed in less than 5 minutes with you guys LOL.

OK, now playing to get some not-too-obvious screenshot for my turn. Don't change the channel!

Ok, so in the interest of not wasting any more of anyone's time here's the big reveal: The game is called Switch. I figured that such an unassuming name+odd anime backgrounds would make for an interesting pick but I guess I didn't know how obscure the game really is. I actually looked it up and it looks like it's available on abandonware sites. Would be hella awkward if it turned out I've been accidentally hoarding lost media. Look at the garish title screen:

Anyway, here's a much more reasonable replacement. It was mildly popular in its day and I've sure seen more people talking about it over the years than Switch (N-word's console notwithstanding)

It's Push-Over on SNES.

 

[Clippy]

It's Push-Over on SNES.

I played the Amiga version but yes. I assume most if not all ports of the game looked the same.

Unfortunately @jankusanagi pulled a sneaky on ya.

Uh, Chaos Engine?

 

[davshap]

Uh, Chaos Engine?

Yep. The SNES port.

 

[Waffles]

(But it's still Janku's turn).

 

[Clippy]

(But it's still Janku's turn).

Yep. I was going to wait for his entry.

 

[jankusanagi]

OK, here we go!

To be clear, the censoring is limited to the red and blue spray "blobs"

Probotector?

 

[jankusanagi]

Probotector?

That's the one! I was willing to accept "Contra" as valid, but it is indeed Probotector

Alright, I'll do something quick and dirty just so that I don't hold up the thread.

EDIT: Here you go:

I'll be back in about half an hour.

I dunno if it exists, but Dungeons & Dragons Pinball? It looks pretty high definition.

I'm sure it exists but it's not the title of the game I posted.

 

[Waffles]

Epic Pinball?

 

[Clippy]

Epic Pinball?

Nope.

 

[davshap]

Pinball Mania ?

 

[Clippy]

Pinball Mania ?

Nope. Seeing as this is the third wrong answer a hint is in order. The game is connected to a VERY famous video game character. We're talking 'don't call yourself a gamer if you've never heard the name' kind of famous.

It's not some Duke Nukem thing, is it?

 

[YuriSukiSan]

I know the answer to this one! .. I don't want to say, yet!

 

[Clippy]

It's been long enough, I think.


Wouldn't it be funny if it turned out he doesn't actually know?

 

[Clippy]

Well, it's been another 24 hours and either Yuri forgot about the thread or he really doesn't know and is trying to ghost us. @Gorse was on the right track, the character I was referring to was indeed Duke Nukem. The game is called Balls of Steel (because of course it is). I figured screencapping a different table might throw people off. It would've been way too obvious if I used this:

Wouldn't you agree? I feel a bit iffy about arbitrarily passing the baton to someone else so here's a quick and simple one so you can earn your turn fair and square:

 

[Waffles]

The Incredible Machine?
