Great. I did better at this one that I thought I would.

This brought back lots of memories and had me rummaging through my game boxes looking for the logos. I did have to guess a couple including number 14. Never seen that logo before, but "Delphine Software International" was the only name that I could think of that fitted the initials. What games was this logo used on? My Delphine game boxes have the film camera logo on them.

Now just to wait for Teho's answers!

[Demon Cleaner]

PG had some interesting answers. But he disappointed me at question 13, where he said Black Hand?? Come on PG, it's the Bitmap Bros

And he said Panther Software for question 20, which is the most difficult to guess imo, but his approach was quite good unfortunately it was wrong!!!

For Delphine we had Distinctive and Destination as anwers, the only one who got it right so far was Harrison. The DSI logo was used later, the logo with the camera was their first one.

[Harrison]

For 12 I thought it was FTL initially, the developers of Dungeon Master, but then I looked at the box and it was completely different. Didn't know Origin.

I'm surprised no one else has got The Bitmap Bros yet. That was the first one I recognised. Where have all the other Speedball 2 fans gone?

And some of the other logos brought back some great gaming memories. Firebird especially as that developer was so old and I remember the logo on many BBC Micro games, as well as Elite!

I have often wondered where some of the companies get their logos from though. Infogrames and an armadillo with a rainbow on its back? That one always puzzled me. Must be something in the history of the company.

[Demon Cleaner]

About Infogrames:

The company logo is an armadillo (tatou in French), chosen when the company was moved to Villeurbanne. Bonnell commented: "This dinosaur (sic) is our symbol. The armadillo always survives to the changes of his environment, from the thawing of the ices, to the worst of the heat waves."

[Harrison]

So now I know.

And the rainbow on its back?

[Demon Cleaner]

And the rainbow on its back?

To add some color? The C64 had also rainbow colors, only to show it's capable of displaying colors. The Rainbow Arts logo also has 3 little men in different colors.

[Harrison]

True. I was also thinking that maybe it was in a rainbow to show the spectrum of colour the games contained.

[Submeg]

Man I only recognised a couple of those lol. Damn, that armadillo...seriously, tried to find it on the net....typed in "colourful armadillo" and all sorts of random combinations....I tried image search and ended up with chastity belts
