The games will vary in obscurity, but I promise each would have had a North American release.

Please refrain from using reverse image search.

I’ll provide an answer if unsolved in 8 hours.

Can you guess the game ?

Weirdly this reminds me of an Atlantis video game where they search for the book and map. Can't remember what it's called, and it feels like a fever dream, but I think it had a flying plane section like this.

[–] spacegoat@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Had this game as a kid but our old PC couldn’t run it right

[–] urushitan@kakera.kintsugi.moe 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Yeah! The lost empire. I had to look up what the flying thing is called

Now whether it’s search for the journal or trial by fire I have no clue lol, way too long ago

That is definitely the vehicle in the image. Same logo on the wings, even.

Trial by Fire. I just looked it up and one of the first handful of screenshots looked almost exactly like this.

I've never played it and never would've thought of it, so the W goes to you IMO. All I was confident of was that the graphics and UI screamed "early 2000s PC game".

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Fucking hell. There's a memory unlocked. Also can't remember the name, but yeah, that one.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pretty sure that's it. I never owned it, but a friend had a demo for it.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

It was a cereal box type demo! That's the only section you could play. Fuck if I know what the proper game was without looking it up.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

I remember getting it in a cereal box (IMAGINE) as a surprise and that's what we played all summer lol.

[–] j4yc33@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

I had this exact same thought. Like getting hit in the head by a truck of nostalgia.

[–] YoFrodo@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's what I think it looks like

[–] Hexanimo@kbin.earth 3 points 1 week ago

This was my thought too, but the UI doesn't look right.

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 8 points 1 week ago

atlantis had some pretty good tie-in games. the ps1 game is goat.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

This looks a lot like Crimson Skies. Looks too fantasy to be Sturmovik, Hawx, or Ace Combat. Looks too old for Warhawk or Birds of Steel.

There was an old Warhammer flying game I think I remember about orks, but I cant remember the name of it.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

This plane definitely isn't in Crimson Skies. Those all look way more WW2-style..

[–] Screen_Shatter@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

For some reason I get some Warhawk vibes but I know that cant be right
