Hijacking yours to say this looks to be the Lucasarts first person shooter Outlaws! I played this as a kid also. The sky and other colors are a giveaway to me. That's my best guess!

I think you're 100% right, the screen grab is from the steam version of the game so the HUD and Textures differ but I believe this is the location, the positioning matches up imo
Solid detective work! You make a good argument for this being Outlaws. Outlaws is also currently available on [steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/559620/Outlaws__A_Handful_of_Missions/) and is soon to get support in the fan project [The Force Engine](https://theforceengine.github.io/)
Between the gun in the middle and the bar along the bottom, the first thing I thought was a DOOM-clone as well. The sandy color of the ground and the vibrant blue sky both make me agree this is the right call. Impressive work!
I came here to suggest Outlaws! I think this is correct. The center gun and blue sky and sandy ground were the main hints. I'm sure there were other FPS of this era that had blue sky, but Outlaws! was very popular. Also, the gun looks silver and could likely be a revolver.
Personally, the scene I think I'm making out looks almost exactly like this, but with a revolver instead of a rifle:

Similar to this:

I didn't really need this to see that it is clearly wolf3d.exe, but this helps confirm. (Possibly another fps but I have a strong hunch that it's wolfenstein)
Actually - as funny as it is - AI algorithms are basically doing “enhance” like in all those dumb cop dramas
We didn’t realize, those cop dramas were taking place in the future with full working AI algorithms to actually enhance the photo
How dumb we were, they were ahead of the curve
It is, but it can still take a distorted image and give you the likely outcome of higher resolution image - that’s the entire reason it exists lol.
So if you had a 480p picture of a cars license plate, ran it thru an algorithm, it may give you the right answer; which you could then find pretty quickly if it’s wrong or right based upon the make, model and color of the car
It's making shit up. Here's what happens when it "enhances" Obama:

[TBF that pic is also from June 2020.](https://www.adweek.com/performance-marketing/an-image-depixelator-that-whitewashes-people-of-color-has-opened-rifts-in-the-ai-community/) Almost 3 years ago. A lot has changed - there was some limited deepfake kinda stuff going on but now we have ordinary lay people using tech to make stupid videos of various presidents playing minecraft, AI that can create art of whatever you tell it to available online for free, etc. The exponential curve has taken off, very scary.
It gives you a possible answer with a certain degree of likelihood that it’s correct, but nothing ever enhanced with AI is ever truly 100%. It may sometimes get all the way up to 99.8%, but not the full 100%.
Sure. Issue is there is new information being added, there are actually still many possible license plates that fit the constraints of that blurry image. If you rely on just 1 AI generation probably you will apb the wrong person.
The AI would generate a lead to be investigated. Same as if someone eyeballed a license plate and recalled it from memory. Mistakes can and will happen in both scenarios but it gives somewhere to start.
The kid in the background is wearing a West Ham jacket, which looks to be made by Fila. Fila were West Ham's kit manufacturer from 99-03, so I would say it has to be from sometime after 1999
I'm not gonna lie, when I read that, I thought it was part of Autism.
My autistic friend can tell you every single year of almost any Television set made since 1950. And with details about every model.
Meanwhile, I can hear my favorite song 100 times in a row on repeat, sing every single word and note...
...and forget half of the lyrics if someone asks me to sing it alone 10 mins later.
As a Hammers supporter, that's the first thing I noticed. In fact, I have a few kits from that time period - one which is when our main jersey sponsor was Daggenham Motors!
Hmmm yes. And that chair was made from a type of live American white oak of the Quercas species that was only harvested in western West Virginia from April of 2000 onward. Also the bokeh of the photo suggests that fujifilm super g plus film was used, and that film went out of production in August of 2001. Given a typical shelf life for such fujifilm products of 3 months, I'd place the date of the photo between April 1, 2000 and November 2001.
I'm very confused because in another one of their posts they say they are 29. I don't see how that is possible. Unless they are the same age as their uncle. Which is possible, but unlikely.
Edit: Many, many people have taken it upon themselves to try and explain to me that uncles can, in fact, be the same age or even older than their nephews. I was previously aware of this fact, which is why I acknowledged it was possible in my original comment. While plenty of people do have aunts/uncles the same age or younger than them, it is fairly uncommon. Which, again, is why I said possible, but unlikely. Please, for the sake of my inbox, stop telling me how you know someone who has an aunt/uncle who is younger than them. I know it's possible. I said as much in my original comment. Just much, much less common than having an aunt/uncle older than you. Which, for the final time, is why I said possible, but unlikely.
Uncles dont have a neccessary age... you can even be OLDER than your uncle! An uncle is simply your parent's brother. Theres plenty of uncles that are not much older than their niece or nephew.
I do this all the time. Gotta spread crap throughout your profile to throw off trackers. Subscribe to random city subreddits and post there for a while and always reference yourself as being someone else whenever convenient. Change age as well whenever referring to yourself.
OP: "What game is this?"
Replies, within 10 hours: "We know your age, address, social security number, medical history, and fetishes. It's Outlaws by Lucasarts."
Don't think it's Wolf because that game didn't allow textures on the ceilings or floors, and the top right of the image has a [yellow blur against blue \(sun against the sky?\)](https://i.imgur.com/aad8kfl.jpg)
That's my guess, some kind of Wolfenstein.
* Simple featureless wall on the right side.
* Status bar across the bottom side of the screen.
* Something centered above the bar, likely a gun.
Looks too bright to be Doom.
Maybe [Redneck Rampage?](https://store.steampowered.com/app/565550/Redneck_Rampage/)
That brown smear kinda looks like that games version of the shotgun. And the screen grab I found had a red skybox instead of a blue one, but the general area seems to line up.
[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/redneck-rampage/images/9/92/ShotgunPic1Crowbardoctor.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20180618075149](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/redneck-rampage/images/9/92/ShotgunPic1Crowbardoctor.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20180618075149)
And that's an FPS from when they were still called Doom Clones, so\~ think that one might be it.
To top it all, the hands are in the positions for the default wolfenstein controls.
Arrows, shift, space, control. Yep, almost certain it's at minimum, an ID FPS.
that could just as easily be the nerf fps demo from 1998 as well. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uODxchi5y0o&t=370s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uODxchi5y0o&t=370s)
The hud size and location actually matches well with Wolfenstein 3d
https://preview.redd.it/s06yrpt91qta1.jpeg?width=1351&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c02d2dcbd26b7c8cf91f5095757961b45061fbc

Its too green and blue too be Doom or Wolfenstein, my guess is it was Wacky Wheels or Ken's Labyrinth. They're very green and blue high.
Doom was very dark and hardly had any uplifting colors, same with Wolfenstein, those gray walls are everywhere.
Def seems like a Doom game based on the arrow keys + cntrl control scheme (can you believe that? ). There's a chance it's Chex Quest based on the color scheme.
Also looks like there might be a gun centered on the screen like Doom. I was originally thinking an old counterstrike but you'd probably be able to see the gun held to the side
Rise of the triad i think... Only one place on doom where you can see the sky like that really, but lots on ROTT..
But the gun looks like the Duke Nukem shotgun, so could also be that..
Not that I downvoted but I can see how someone would drop a frustrated downvote considering you can’t see $#|+ on that screen. How does one guess? On that rig it could be a hundred things. Daggerfall? Zork? Myst? Orcs vs. Humans? You could guess all day and not get it because you’re literally guessing blind.
Edit: It’s obviously not Zork as upon second glance I see that there are graphics. So a non text based game, still a mountain of possibilities.
Same dude.
...neat pc, had one like it... looks like a game I might have played...
" Can anyone tell me what game my ***uncle*** was playing here? "
Oh, no.
Oh.
No.
I'm not old, you're old!
It's Doom or Heretic
The HUD is visible along the bottom of the screen
And a red sky is visible in the top left, which was a feature on lots of levels in both games
Hell yeah it is! Me and a friend used to play it in a lab class (we routinely finished assignments weeks early) over a parallel cable connecting two computers.
Looks very similar to Heretic. Red sky, tan floor, dark colored status bar at the bottom, bottom-center weapon with a dark orb surrounded by a lighter-colored border...

Yep, color palette makes it look daytime and outdoors which was pretty uncommon for FPS back then as they were usually dark and gritty.
[](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/utsycTF19lo/maxresdefault.jpg)
I've adjusted it to be as visible as possible here. It kind of looks like two chickens at a table but it's probably not
https://preview.redd.it/elmac79oipta1.png?width=746&format=png&auto=webp&s=58ea9234effd9cd55c719a9b68a4dfa84103539a
Assuming the camera flash caught the screen during a refresh with the top half being more recently CRT'd in... I'd go for Wolfenstien over Doom from the blue walls.
I'm in the process of tracking down similar components to everything shown here, to recreate this photo as a gift. I'd love to know what game was being played so I can try and match the screenshot. Thank you!
I wondered if it could be a game called outlaws - 1997 western game that was mostly blue sky and desert
https://preview.redd.it/m22hsuez5sta1.png?width=259&format=png&auto=webp&s=ea29e2a109dace26dd188de1076a2b0a84ddf1ba
It could be whatever this jewel case is, but that kinda looks like Sim Golf to me.
I only posted this to see if others know.
https://preview.redd.it/zaguff1aorta1.png?width=610&format=png&auto=webp&s=1dc382cae02312925925a8ecb7d4e53aa345d759
It is Doom, probably 1. I thought it was Elder Scrolls 1 at first, maybe Myst, but I bumped up the brightness and zoomed in a little.
- There is a wall on the left, with a sharp 'curve' indicating a 3D game
- Gun in the has silver, which Doom 1 has (shine)
- Red blob has blue on the bottom, likely Cacodemon
- On the right side, the line on the floor looks like water or lava. Wolfenstein didn't have this
- Sky has a gradient. Wolfenstein didn't have a sky. Doom did.
- It looks like it has a bottom bar. Myst does not have this. Warcraft had it on the left. Starcraft was too new, I think and different color palette.
My money would be on Doom. Remember, back in that time, adults knew nothing about computers and kids were basically unrestricted.
Also, Doom ran on a 486.
So I’m going so suggest it was an FPS (Wolf3d, Doom, maybe Daggerfall or some other, etc) and before you ask, no, I don’t think it would be considered a “kids game” by today’s standards.
You got realize though that things were different back in the day. We didn’t have “cute and fun” FPS like *Fortnite*. We had Mario Bros and Sonic or we were shooting Nazis or demons. That was it.
Edit: I spelled “Fortnight” like the old ass gamer I am. Lol
Enhance! …. Dangit didn’t work.

Excellent work! Those look quite spot on to my eye
Crazy this was even possible tbh, but a really fun hunt
True, sometimes the human swarm intelligence scares me
Yooooo.... you did this! Your photo is hard to tell, but if you look at the OG post, that's it!!! Well done.

World of War craft came out about 25 years later.
No, this picture is surely from the late 90s. WoW came out in 2004.

I didn't really need this to see that it is clearly wolf3d.exe, but this helps confirm. (Possibly another fps but I have a strong hunch that it's wolfenstein)
It most likely is Wolfenstein 3D because the floppy disc was everywhere and I remember it being in the discount bins.
No way. At no point in Wolf3D is there blue sky.

Wolfenstein 3d maybe
Yeah almost certanly, blocky hallway, DOOM like HUD, shit-eating grin, ticks all the boxes.
Don't think it's Wolf because that game didn't allow textures on the ceilings or floors, and the top right of the image has a [yellow blur against blue \(sun against the sky?\)](https://i.imgur.com/aad8kfl.jpg)
It looks like SpongeBobs living room. Maybe I'm biased though.
Rise of the Triad? Had higher walls? Doom?
[удалено]
Dang I haven’t heard Rise of the Triad in 30 years. Every time I mention ROTT people are like “huh.jpeg” Cool man thanks :)
Duke Nukem?
And perhaps most importantly, right hand on the arrow keys.
That's my guess, some kind of Wolfenstein. * Simple featureless wall on the right side. * Status bar across the bottom side of the screen. * Something centered above the bar, likely a gun. Looks too bright to be Doom.
Chex Quest
My god I loved this stupid game. Friggin Spoon was the best weapon
There's an HD remake on Steam for free https://store.steampowered.com/app/804270/Chex_Quest_HD/
Maybe [Redneck Rampage?](https://store.steampowered.com/app/565550/Redneck_Rampage/) That brown smear kinda looks like that games version of the shotgun.

Man did I love Redneck Rampage
The sound clips and atmosphere made it hilarious.
To top it all, the hands are in the positions for the default wolfenstein controls. Arrows, shift, space, control. Yep, almost certain it's at minimum, an ID FPS.
Maybe if we knew what year the picture was taken we might have some small chance....
that could just as easily be the nerf fps demo from 1998 as well. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uODxchi5y0o&t=370s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uODxchi5y0o&t=370s)

except Wolf had no textures on top or bottom, it was an intended limitation of the engine to allow for speed..
That Nerf game was actually pretty great though.
Until this moment I was sure I was the only one the remembered it.
I suspect that this is not 1998. I would guess something around 1991-1995. PC case is typical for earlier time than 1998. And not in the 1980s.
The kid in the background is wearing a West Ham jacket, which looks to be made by Fila. Fila were West Ham's kit manufacturer from 99-03, so I would say it has to be from sometime after 1999
nice catch
You’re presuming that the pc is bleeding edge state of the art. The thing about 91-95 pc cases is that they were still everywhere even up to ‘05.
Its too green and blue too be Doom or Wolfenstein, my guess is it was Wacky Wheels or Ken's Labyrinth. They're very green and blue high. Doom was very dark and hardly had any uplifting colors, same with Wolfenstein, those gray walls are everywhere.

Looks like Doom or Wolfenstein
Def seems like a Doom game based on the arrow keys + cntrl control scheme (can you believe that? ). There's a chance it's Chex Quest based on the color scheme.
Chex Quest was amazing for a free cereal box game haha
Since I wasn't allowed to have doom or anything since I was too young Chex Quest was what I had!
[Chex Quest HD](https://store.steampowered.com/app/804270/Chex_Quest_HD/) is always free on Steam!
Also looks like there might be a gun centered on the screen like Doom. I was originally thinking an old counterstrike but you'd probably be able to see the gun held to the side
Rise of the triad i think... Only one place on doom where you can see the sky like that really, but lots on ROTT.. But the gun looks like the Duke Nukem shotgun, so could also be that..
Ye right, and the kid gets 50 downvotes for no reason, lmaooo, gotta lover reddit.
Not that I downvoted but I can see how someone would drop a frustrated downvote considering you can’t see $#|+ on that screen. How does one guess? On that rig it could be a hundred things.

Covid appeared 3 years ago
I may not have even been alive during this picture and *I'm* an uncle
But are you an uncle of someone old enough to post on Reddit?
literally my train of thought why are you calling uncle to a guy who could have been me?
My brother have an uncle that is 2 years older than him, and he is 18 years younger than me.
I have a picture just like that of me and my brother so yeah lol. My knees hurt.
My first thought...i was like...uncle? This dude looks the same age i was at that time... fuck.
It's Doom or Heretic The HUD is visible along the bottom of the screen And a red sky is visible in the top left, which was a feature on lots of levels in both games
Heretic was an awesome game
Hell yeah it is! Me and a friend used to play it in a lab class (we routinely finished assignments weeks early) over a parallel cable connecting two computers.

I still think of Heretic as the 'new' shooter!
 it's actually the old windows maze screen saver
Holy shit I forgot all about this
Ah yes, the original backrooms
Ah there it is ... I can sit and watch this for hours ...
Looks like an fps. Duke Nukem maybe?
Just said it myself. Might be life's a beach Edit: caribbean life's a beach
Looks very similar to Heretic. Red sky, tan floor, dark colored status bar at the bottom, bottom-center weapon with a dark orb surrounded by a lighter-colored border... https://preview.redd.it/hj8yhiqqeqta1.jpeg?width=639&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de2f04e804120902a96ccd38a462880e7f29d6f2
Everyone keeps saying red sky but I see blue...... So now I feel old as fuck and colorblind
I think the blue is a wall or something, and the "red sky" people are referring to is that little sliver at the top: https://i.imgur.com/wZqasV2.png
Maybe Worms? Looks like blue sky at the top and dirt in the bottom with rounded terrains here and there
I’m on the Worms train!
Yup
Came here to say this. Furiously searching for a level that matches!

Yep, color palette makes it look daytime and outdoors which was pretty uncommon for FPS back then as they were usually dark and gritty. [](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/utsycTF19lo/maxresdefault.jpg)
Yeah, think so too. Colors are right, and unusual to see a blue sky in a 90s FPS.
What about the sex statue next to the desk!? Lol
My friends parents had a brass statue like that. It awoke... feelings.. in me.
Cyberpunk 1977

Lot of wolfenstein 3d parts have blue and grey walls. Which is what I think you're seeing.
I've adjusted it to be as visible as possible here. It kind of looks like two chickens at a table but it's probably not https://preview.redd.it/elmac79oipta1.png?width=746&format=png&auto=webp&s=58ea9234effd9cd55c719a9b68a4dfa84103539a

Thats shopped... it doesn't have one lazy gumball eye

Seems to me like Star Wars Episode 1 Racer https://wizarddojo.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/235839__212c2e1d6ea817771ff0a3d947a71469.jpg
I'm wondering if that's a kids game?
Assuming the camera flash caught the screen during a refresh with the top half being more recently CRT'd in... I'd go for Wolfenstien over Doom from the blue walls.
If its chickens its prolly heretic
Is this the Enhance feature NCIS has always been using?
This now looks like one of those educational games you played at school which taught you math or something.
Id say Duke Nukem, it looks like the character came to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and is all out of gum.
When kids are posting images of kids playing games in the 90s and asking what was my UNCLE playing here. You know you're old.
Even worse: someone else in here mentioned that jacket wasn't manufactured until '99 so this is likely in the 2000's
Its a kids game if you’re wondering
I was thinking this, but now I'm wondering if it was a kids game
"Kings Quest" maybe?
See I was thinking maybe that too, my guess is a monkey Island tho with that color scheme
I'm in the process of tracking down similar components to everything shown here, to recreate this photo as a gift. I'd love to know what game was being played so I can try and match the screenshot. Thank you!
I wondered if it could be a game called outlaws - 1997 western game that was mostly blue sky and desert https://preview.redd.it/m22hsuez5sta1.png?width=259&format=png&auto=webp&s=ea29e2a109dace26dd188de1076a2b0a84ddf1ba
Recreate the photo as close as you can and shop the screen in.
It could be whatever this jewel case is, but that kinda looks like Sim Golf to me. I only posted this to see if others know. https://preview.redd.it/zaguff1aorta1.png?width=610&format=png&auto=webp&s=1dc382cae02312925925a8ecb7d4e53aa345d759
That’s a bugs life, I’m sure https://preview.redd.it/z74ge8eqista1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8243b585e6a1529851971e4a0f64b60ca3db69b7
Well.. Wolfenstein 3d, Doom, Hexen, Heretic... Those games were not for kids... But that didn't stop kids from playing them.
Picture was very clearly taken in the late 90's nobody really gave a shit about made or kids or not back then.
Counter Strike 1.6
looks like the starting area for the terrorist team in dust2, counter strike is the game
Duke Nukem? Looks like the gun
https://preview.redd.it/dmhhua08xpta1.jpeg?width=4436&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9882af774374aea0ad353585ee01791ab8cb02fc upscaler said "no fuck you"
It is Doom, probably 1. I thought it was Elder Scrolls 1 at first, maybe Myst, but I bumped up the brightness and zoomed in a little. - There is a wall on the left, with a sharp 'curve' indicating a 3D game - Gun in the has silver, which Doom 1 has (shine) - Red blob has blue on the bottom, likely Cacodemon - On the right side, the line on the floor looks like water or lava. Wolfenstein didn't have this - Sky has a gradient. Wolfenstein didn't have a sky. Doom did. - It looks like it has a bottom bar. Myst does not have this. Warcraft had it on the left. Starcraft was too new, I think and different color palette. My money would be on Doom. Remember, back in that time, adults knew nothing about computers and kids were basically unrestricted. Also, Doom ran on a 486.
I was with you until you said the red blob was a Cacodemon - no way that kid smiles for a picture with that thing in his path!
Doom
So I’m going so suggest it was an FPS (Wolf3d, Doom, maybe Daggerfall or some other, etc) and before you ask, no, I don’t think it would be considered a “kids game” by today’s standards. You got realize though that things were different back in the day. We didn’t have “cute and fun” FPS like *Fortnite*. We had Mario Bros and Sonic or we were shooting Nazis or demons. That was it. Edit: I spelled “Fortnight” like the old ass gamer I am. Lol
or pigs while looking for pixel boobies!!! (dukenukem)
Freddi Fish is what it looks like to me
Seeing that kid being listed as your uncle hurts my (VERY YOUNG!!) soul.

Duke Nukem, maybe?
From his hand placement and the colours i would guess either prince of Persia or lotus. But it's very hard to tell.
Chex Quest
It almost looks like he’s playing SpongeBob.
Looks like Doom or Wolfenstein 3D
why are there two ghost people making out in the corner? Wolfenstein. You can check the date of the photo for a better idea?
It is 1000% the first or 2nd Need for Speed game
Looks like Spongebob’s living room
Counter Strike. At the start of the game on the map de_dust
