Quiz: name that game

[ZedClampet]

Ok how about another clue:

I don't think that was ever on PC, but I guess I just made that rule up in my own head rather than it actually being a quiz rule

I don't want to have to post a pic, so someone else needs to figure it out. All my games are too niche for anyone to recognize them.

I suppose it's an informal rule to use PC games because we're on a PC gamer forum.

Also, feel free to name the game and then just let someone else have your turn, you wouldn't be the first one to do that.

Or post your niche and give us a week to think it over. But first you have to get @Johnway's shot!

post your niche

Shush, displaying your ignorance—someone could easily recognize you that way

yeah my bad. I thought it was a pc game. I know it was a point and click adventure on the playstation and i thought there was some super rare version of it on the pc or something.

But the clues are all there: A point and click adventure with dragons as the main characters and based on the cartoon with the same name. does it help?

 

[Johnway]

I'm not sure if another screenshot will help, but another clue i guess: it was published by crystal dynamics!

I just copied and pasted this into Google and it spit out Blazing Dragons, which seems like the right game.

CORRECT!! it was in fact blazing dragons! Next time i'll stick to games that were released on the pc proper.

I had a quick bash at this game and feels like the story/humor might be something i'll enjoy. Might play more of it and see for myself. It did get rather meddling reviews upon release though.

I wonder if anyone recognizes this:

If Worms made a racing spinoff, this is it!

The title does contain "Worms".

*looks around* erm.....hmmm *thinks deeper* hngggggg.... Worms Cart?

You're kidding! I should go back a 50/1 horse

Not that AOL game, You've Got Worms?

Worms Cart?

Psst, try Worms Horizon

It is not Worms Cart.

It is neither You've Got Worms or Worms Horizon.

Worms Racing? There are a bunch of Worms games out there.

It is not Worms Racing.

Next hint: the same developer also made this:

Well, I used Google, which I'm assuming is against the rules, and watched a playthrough. It was kind of painful, but I guess that was pretty good for the time. Seems like it was before the N64.

Googling is fine, though a reverse image search kind of defeats the purpose.

I don't think anyone else is going to guess it, so feel free to name the game.

Apparently it's Super Worms, which I've never heard of before.

Correct! The other game is Charlie the Duck, which has gotten an updated version on Steam, Charlie II.

They're shareware games from a Dutch developer, so we probably got a shareware copy at an expo at some point when I was a kid.

Too easy, please try something more obscure next time

I looked up the Charlie II stats on SteamDB out of curiosity and it seems only a couple of hundred people at most ever bought the game. I didn't realize it was that obscure.
