This is a game of kings. Try to pick something iconic or recognizable on the cover, a grey splotch from CoD Ghost probably won’t be much fun for anyone to guess. If the guess is right I’d recommend a macro shot so people can marvel at the full art work together. You know the drill, help your boys and girls out if they’re struggling. What I’ll do, or anyone can do, is if it’s been a day or two without guesses, post in here asking if someone wants to take a crack at it. If not, feel free to post another image. We aren’t keeping score or anything. If the poster wants it guessed on, they’ll probably be posting hints. Also if someone guessed it and hasn’t posted the next one, again, tag them and see if they want to post an image, if non responsive jump in if you like.
It's widely considered the grandfather of the modern "shoot 'em up" genre and still has compilations and re-imagined re-releases dropping onto modern-day consoles. Shoot the spaceship that flies around at the top for crazy-good bonus points. Now, let's all go watch that one episode of Futurama where Fry saves the Earth with the help of a Rush mixtape and a bottle of Shasta! image
Nobody? I thought this would be a quick one. I can't really show more than that without giving away major information. Here's a clue instead: it released on Switch/PS4/XB1.
This is the worst hint of all-time, but I got a free copy of this game from Game Fan magazine for submitting Sega CD FIFA codes. At least that tells you the rough era.
The googly eyes on the ladder gave it away. That's A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia(Nintendo Entertainment System): a surprisingly fun title that I came late to the party with when I first played the installment. image
