Congrats to F4ction you old dog you! Managing to correctly guess that Friday’s (and Thurday’s) Remember This was Batman The Caped Crusader, on the Apple II no less.
Well done to everyone else who got it!
Good luck with today’s effort. I’m gonna jinx myself and say it’s a tough one.

pokemon? any of them. lol Reminds me of a pokeball.
Close up of the back if a pokeball!
Micro machines
Commander Keen
That was gonna be my guess. If not, maybe Duke Nukem?

Curse you! First one in ages I’ve actually recognised!
I don’t think that’s it. There’s too much shading for it to be 16 colour EGA, unless there’s some odd artifacting going on there.
You may be right. All I know is that was the first thing I thought of, and the first image that appeared when I searched for Commander Keen, so it’s pretty damn coincidental if it’s not!
You might be right, although that wouldn’t necessarily be what I’d call a “tough one”.
OK, so now you had me second guessing and I found this image: http://static.trustedreviews.com/94/e91fdb/bee1/3413-keen1.jpg
Looks pretty close to me. It is only a matter of time before Commander Keen came up – I think I’ve guessed it like 10 times now (it’s like my Biker Mice from Dig)
Heh, that’s the same sprite as Batguy’s one.
So, let’s test this theory. If we take Mack’s image and crop out the appropriate area, then scale up what would be in reality three colours using Photoshop’s standard scaling algorythm we get…

So. myth: plausible.
I still think it looks a bit too sharp to be just anti aliasing artifacts, but we shall see.
CTRL and ALT AT THE SAME TIME to fire. Madness!
was going to say this aswell
I’m getting an odd sense of deja vu.
Spongebob Squarepants: Yellow Avenger?
Duke Nukem.
Commander Keen may be right though.
