The Saturn and the first Pokémon game both came out in 1995, it's older. Not massively so, it's a console game and 16-bit rather than 8-bit as you can probably tell from the colour palette.

This may ring a few bells:


Pokémon has always been seriously backward-looking technology-wise (as well as highly derivative) as this I made for b3ta in 2003 demonstrates, I made it using a ZX Spectrum emulator from a mix of games, some released as late as 2000. Like WoW, the series nicks ideas going back years, uses tried and tested technology, and makes it simple and easy.

Was going to add some moar pics last night, but forgot, so here's enough to make it google/wiki-able, which the pics would have revealed.

It's a Sega Megadrive/Genesis Game
The publisher's name contains the letters ATL

It had different names in Japan, Europe and the US.

Crusader of Centy?

Correct, aka Soliel aka Ragnacenty.

Ahem. Your go Eion

Not played that, but I can apply my detective skills. Looks a bit too pixelly to be the Amiga (and there's a good chance I'd have played it if it was), too many colours for the C64. I reckon it's a Megadrive or Super Nintendo game, or at least a console of that era (5th generation?).

Walkbot: Master of Skulls?

Have you seen a lot of pixels in your time?

Some of the blockiness is probably because I enlarged the picture with Photoshop, but you're correct, it's not an Amiga game.

If you say so, although I remember some fairly colourful C64 games. Either way, this isn't a C64 game.

That it is.

20+ years of regular gaming, from Sabre Wulf to Quake Wars. I reckon I've seen a few

It looks like a gundam game on the megadrive.

Maybe, but it's not.

The skulls look kind of Kid Chameleon in style, but the life bars are wrong for that. The character in the centre has a vaguely samurai look about him, but also looks robotic and separable.

Cloo time: this is not a SNES or Genesis game.

My first though from the aspect ratio was that it was from a handheld, but I don't recognise it at all.

It isn't.

PC Engine or Neo Geo then. Google goteim!

Also: Genesis and Super Famicom? Somebody likes their imports
