I was wondering around the internet the other day and I ran into this site which had excellent game screenshot quizzes. And I clicked the NES quiz, which you can find here:

Not only did I find out I can name less games than I thought I could, but I also ran into this screenshot item from the quiz:

I had a massive flashback when I saw this particular slice and I am sure I had that game as a kid on my NES but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called or even remember much from the gameplay.

It'd be really lovely if someone could help me find the game's name. I tried to hack through the quiz's source but alas, I couldn't find the answers there. So I'm counting on you, people! :unsure:

At least I could answer 8 out of 50 then. :p

Edit :
Manage to answer 13 out of 50. ;)

If you're entertained, try the rest of the quizzes:

As for the game, it's excellent. Very non-linear, excellent graphics, good action, cool level designs, something like a robotic-suit powerup. I had forgotten how good the NES could get. The only thing that I've played on it that came close to the richness, originality and non-linearity of Power Blade is Mission Impossible.
