The Power house of information that is lemon64* would also give the answer. :wink:


I suppose it would be hard to "enforce" it (oo-er) but from a fairness point of view I think it's always better if someone who recognises the screenshot without recourse to the fulsome resources of the internet gets a chance to guess it first. If it's a bit of an obscure screenshot and no-one's guessed it in a few days then fair enough, but I wasn't sure that this game was particularly obscure!

Anyway, for wittily embedding the game's name (near enough, anyway) in your post, I think you deserve the next go!

Okey pokey,

The Enforcer by The power house it is! C64

Also more alarmingly we have reached page 666 :twisted:

So here goes a loosely related screenshot

No idea what that is, but it looks like the sort of s--t I'd like!

I think I can guess the format though.
