Jul 18, 2016 at 17:46 comment added Chenmunka @cat: Am I sure? Reasonably. The discussion at meta.retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/176/… covers "Identify This" questions. Feel free to add to that discussion. This is not the only tag that has but a single question. The singular nature should not, of itself, cause a retag.
Jul 18, 2016 at 16:51 comment added cat @Chenmunka are you sure we need that tag? still only one question (this one) tagged with it
Jun 28, 2016 at 21:03 comment added CJ Dennis If you want to comment on the suitability of this question, please post an answer on my meta post, which I made before asking this question. This is not the right place for this discussion.
Jun 28, 2016 at 6:30 comment added tofro Hmm. I'm pretty sure if RC wants to be of use it should allow identification questions even with rather vague descriptions. After all, this is retrogaming/computing.
Jun 28, 2016 at 5:01 comment added Mark I feel that "identify-this-game" questions here should be subject to the same criteria as on Gaming.SE: you need to have some artifact from the game, such as a screenshot, a clip of soundtrack, a blurry photo of the back of the box -- some way to let the person answering the question say with certainty "yes, this is it".
Jun 28, 2016 at 2:49 comment added user12 It looks like such questions are not on-topic even on Gaming.SE. At least, not as presented here (they consider identification questions with "vague descriptions" off-topic.) There doesn't appear to be a site that promotes the notion of identifying "retro" games (again, Gaming.SE specifically says such questions are off-topic.) Then again, it's not just about appropriateness; the notion is to promote good Q&A. And, of course, just because no one else wants such questions doesn't mean they belong here, either.
Jun 28, 2016 at 2:41 comment added user12 Once assumes the game will be on many lists, including this one. If the game had "3D" in the title, then that narrows it down. Typical searches should yield descriptions and images that might jog your memory.

Jun 27, 2016 at 18:47 comment added CJ Dennis @jdv I've been searching for this on and off for literally years. I'm sure Wanderer 3D is the right game although I haven't downloaded it yet to verify. What's your simple search that finds it immediately?
Jun 27, 2016 at 16:33 comment added user12 @scruss, because answers based solely on web searches are not good answers.
Jun 27, 2016 at 15:52 comment added scruss @jdv - id it's so easy, why not answer? Wanderer (the one where you traded cats) had 3D in other versions, but I don't remember the CPC one as 3D. 3 Deep Space never had an Amstrad release.
Jun 27, 2016 at 15:00 comment added user12 I know this is sort of a test question, but a single web search and/or Arqade would have this answered already. It really isn't that obscure...
