CD32?

PFffft, CD32 has loads of titles.

I was going to say NeoGeo.

No to both of those formats...

It wasn't one of the CD32's 52 games (20 of which appear to be Alien Breed games).

Are you offering? Is that what all the cool kids are calling it nowadays? Let me get back from work and have a shower first... Oooh Colon as in colony, not colon!

Nope, not that.

Is the other format CD-i or 3D0? I have a CD-i machine. I bought it for £8 at a bootsale, including a copy of Space Ace. Kept me amused for an hour.

Nah, it wasn't either of those formats. There's only one left really, think mid to late 90s - looked a bit like a toilet with the seat up.

The game was similar to settlers I suppose, but with a LOT more humour.

I thought "Settlers" when I saw it, but a quick check of screenshots proved me wrong. Must have been on the same page in a magazine or something.

I'm stumped. I can't even think of (or find) a late 90s platform that looks like a toilet, although if it only had 3 games that's not surprising. Compared to other late 90s offerings, like the Playstation, it looks pretty dated though.

Right ho, a quick correction to help things along. The screen shot was taken from the Amiga version of the game in 1995. I may have unintentionally misled you a bit. The toilet like console was first available in 1993 and better known as the Atari Jaguar - a failure by all accounts and Atari's reason for leaving the hardware business.

It does seem a little more obscure than I thought so I'll give it 'til 13:30 then if no one's got it I'll whack a different, less obscure game up to keep things moving along nicely.

It's Baldies, on the Jaguar.

edit: and I'd worked out what console it was before you said.

Post by **Dog Pants** » July 4th, 2007, 11:52

Ah, Baldies. That rings a bell. I immediately thought of the Jaguar when it came to the list of utter failures but passed over it looking for something white and hoop-like (like a toilet). Bah.

I think a version came out for the PC, which is where I recognise it from.

Well it is the Jaguar, but the screenshot is from the Amiga version. It came out on Dos PC, Amiga and Jaguar. Eion wins (a bumming).

Next!

I'm on a hunt for the PC version of Baldies now as I really want to play it, and I suggest you folks do too. Any good dustpan/brush sources for PC DOS games anyone knows of?

Awesome, cheers Vibraspazz. Also it would appear to have a LAN multiplayer option too - might be worth looking into for HamandCheese play.

yays! I ♥ the underdogs

Also if you are looking for more stuff like this, www.theabandonwarering.com is a good place to look (I think that is the link, otherwise stick abandonwarering into google and that will take you there) as it lists loads of abandonware sites with tonnes of games
