Name that game!

@Resch: Yeah, Moon Patrol is correct :).
@JDR13: I played it on my trusty (now mothballed) Atari 2600.

That's Wizard's Crown by SSI.

Correct!

Here's one of the best Spectrum games!

Indeed :). Atic Atac was probably the most playable Ultimate game.
Btw, there´s quite nice PC remake here.

I loved this one:

Too difficult? Guess I'll have to provide a pic with it after all. Removed the interface to make it not too easy.
Nobody? Game was Amberstar. Was released for Amiga and PC. If you haven't played it, you missed something! :)

Drat, Arhu! This was the first game I knew that nobody else answered :) I loved Amberstar, but never played Ambermoon. I tried Albion, but it got stale kinda quick.

Aww, sorry, I got too impatient. Should have waited 24 hours instead of only 22. ^^

Ambermoon improved upon everything that made Amberstar great, you even get to visit some of the old places, though most of the world has been destroyed. Alas, it's so old now. And it has been released only for Amiga (runs emulated on PC).

I can't for the life of me remember the name of the 2nd one, but I remember playing it A LOT. It's about plugging leaks in a ship - running around in a panic :)

I seem to recall the load image being something like a ship with a few "plates" missing from the hull. But it's been 25 years since I played it :)

It's Worse things happen at Sea and the first was called Android 2.

That one was waaay too easy. :)

It was, I just thought it deserved a mention. ;)

Yeah, the voxel engine was pretty impressive. Well, some objects looked pretty awfully jagged, but water and certain effects were amazing. It was never released in my country, but it came with a sound card... lucky me.

Another easy one, I think:

That sounds a lot like ELIZA, "a 1966 computer program designed to simulate a therapist or psychoanalyst." You can try it out here: Eliza, Computer Therapist.

There was also a real 3D game once that let you type in normal sentences. Started in a room and you could talk to your gf or bf and some other people. But that's one that *I* forgot the name of. Passing the ball to the next person with a better memory.

Another game I just remembered when Galactica's Baltar talked about the name-giving device (hubby's watching TV); I put many, many hours into the game I got for my birthday in '94 (and which was released for just one system IIRC):

You guys are constantly way before my time--so for anyone else who has only played PC games since the 90's here's one from the more , erhem, 'modern' era. :)
