Congrats to ninjakickthedamnrabit, who guessed yesterday’s Remember This correctly. It was Chaos World on the NES. Unreal. Five minutes it took you!
Is today’s brutally difficult or way too easy? I can’t tell. I don’t know anything any more.

TA?
Thinking it is earlier than that and dark reign suggested by @themikky
Maybe ogre battle or nobunga’s quest
Yeah, I wasn’t sure and thought it looked a bit too pixel-y, and I could probably rule it out just by looking at a screenshot to see the cursor, but eh.
Ohhhhh… We could all be barking up the wrong tree if it’s a top down shooter / up scroller…
ooohhhh, raptor style
Blurman: Revenge of the Blur
I got nothing.
Kknd
dark reign ?
I want to say Cannon Fodder but I don’t remember the cursor/crosshair looking like that.
KKND?
hrm…Cabal or mebbe Operation Wolf?
Z?
Maybe it’s a trick question.
I’m gonna say Xmas Lemmings
Jagged Edge? Hmm….was that what it was called? Jagged….something.
Jagged Alliance?
Looks like an old RTS…
Maybe Gene Wars?
Raptor : Call of the Shadows?
I remember Raptor being much smoother graphics, and did it have a crosshair?
Yeah, it did have better graphics after a quick google search….no sign of crosshair either….
Warcraft: Orcs & Humans
Cannon fodder?
dune 2 enlarged too much? wait no cross hair in that
Almost likes like a really blurry version of General Chaos
HerzogZwei, but it isn’t, looks too Pentium pc era.
But dangit, I love me some Herzog Zwei.
Looks like C&C 2 Tiberium Wars – the crashed ship mission, im probably wrong though
Populous?
warlords battlecry 1.
Starcraft 64? I kinda remember the marines being about 3 pixels.
Xevious, or maybe Super Xevious.. or Fire Battle. Only vertical shooters I can think of that have a reticle like that.
Wow, this one’s brutal. A big shot showing plenty of detail, and it’s still stumping me. It’s gotta be a precursor to C&C, somewhere in between Dune 2 and C&C. Everything everyone’s mentioned so far I remember as being FAR higher fidelity than this thing. Wow.
It’s actually putting me in mind of one of the Battletech games. Crescent Hawk’s Inception or whatever the sequel was…
