I don't know if it will help, or if it is intuitively obvious to everyone but me already, but based on the text rendering I'd say that it is probably an Apple II game.
Not much point in giving hints, you either know it or not. The screenshot is of the first level and not obscure in any way (although I did edit out the game name that was in the top right). Giving hints would just turn this into a google-fu competition.

Wait, when you play this game you were always staring at its name?
Anyway, cause you edited that screen to make it harder to find out (which editing the name out obviously does) and thus the screen you showed can never be observed in the game as such I will simply post a screen, that can actually observed as it is in the game:

It was a cop-out, and I don't agree with the reasoning behind skipping your picture, but I DO agree with skipping your picture. Nobody could guess it and it was bringing the entire thread to a halt, which isn't fun for anyone.
You get the "I posted a game nobody could guess" medal.

It was <span style='color:#000000;background:#000000'>Drol</span> for the <span style='color:#000000;background:#000000'>Apple II</span>
that confirms that I totally had no clue =p looked Joust-esque, with the bird and the platforms, but I knew it wasn't Joust...
also have no idea what movie that is, but I'm terrible with actors' and actresses' faces or I'd be able to IMDB one of those folks. unless they're both nobodies.
maybe we should put in a time limit? if no one gets it right in... hrm, 8 hours? 12? someone else is free to skip them and post a new pic
