blackguy32 posted:Choplifter? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqoaAk8ucPk Well first of all it was on a keyboard-computer, but apparantly choplifter had a C64 version i see on youtube, but thats not it, it's not underground in caves. The problem is that i have no idea what kind of keyboard computer it was, theres dozens of these things. The keyboard-comp wasn't mine, it was of an old friend from my childhood (i tried asking him once but he had no idea anymore either). I think it used carts that went into the side of the keyboard but im not sure. I cant remember any other games on it either. I remember the game because i thought it was awesome and would like to play it again.

Anyway check out my old LP of this : http://video.google.nl/videoplay?docid=-3339339781343944391 , is it that game? Is it possible this was called Pitfall? (Not the platformer by the same name, but another game) I had a game called Pitfall on a really old computer which was basically just guiding a plane down a neverending cavern.

Captain_duck posted:Anyway a game ive looked for myself a lot, and asked before in other threads here but havent gotten the correct anwser yet is an old game. It's for one of those old "computer in a keyboard" type computers like the commodore 64 or MSX or any other type. Im sure it wasn't a spectravideo because i had that one myself. The game itself is a helicopter game, you fly a helicopter through a series of caves. I remember there being pretty big maps, and it got pretty tough to get through some parts. This is a really long shot, but could it be H.E.R.O?

I think the keyboard comp i played it on had uglier graphics and there were more tunnels on screen. If only i had an idea which keyboard-comp it was. It must have been some sort of c64 clone, and theres dozens of those things .

I've spent many hours searching for the name of this PC game but have failed to find it. It was a 2d quasi-realistic side perspective flying game similar to wings of fury, though set in the present and with the option of selecting a helicopter as well as a plane. It was released in the mid 90's. I'm not giving much to work with here, but I'd really appreciate any help.

I have one... It was in the mid-90's, possibly late 90's as I recall that it fits to the era of 3D-graphic accelerator onmarch. The game itself was a two-player wargame, where each player (green and brown camo) had a base that had turrets and buildings? plus walls which all were destroyable to some degree. Each player had 4 * 4 vehicles; a helicopter, tank... mine layer? and possibly a jeep. the task was to destroy other players base or something similar, possibly to capture the flag. Game was isometric, possibly pseudo-3D but may have had primitive 3D graphics support... ran on Windows 95 but still was a huge power hogger for the resources at that time. Fun game for LAN evening. Additionally, I for some reason recall that the game (or demo at least) was on a multi-game CD, which was kinda funny as it had Doom:esque user interface, which loaded on the disk autorun. To select the game you wanted to play you had to move with WASD-control on the "loader level" and walk on the teleport pad of some sorts for the selected game to start. If anyone can come up with the name for the wargame and give any additional details on the 3D-gamedisk I would appreciate it.

Now does anyone have any idea what the 3D-loader interface I mentioned earlier was about? After consulting a friend he said he was pretty sure it may have been some sort of Microsoft Windows 95 multimedia promo...

This is going to be rough, it's kind of vague. It was a DOS based game, I remember playing it around the same time as jetfighter 2, so I'd imagine 91-92. It came on a 3.5 disk instead of a larger floppy, and it started with an S. It was essentially a tank game, but in a 3d persepctive and everything was rendered in wireframe (white I think).

I've got 2 games I've been curious about for years. 1. was for the Genesis/SNES, a sci-fi sidescrolling shooter. I remember going through a level (possibly the first) and under some kind of condition, your player character gets equipped with a suit of power armour or something that looks kind of like an astronaut suit. Then you go through the level again, but the colour scheme is different and you're more powerful. It's kind of muddled, I'm afraid... 2. Was an arcade game I played years ago. Sidescrolling action game again, and the player characters look like ripoffs of Ryu/Ken from Street Fighter/ characters from DragonBall. It also had a dominant sci-fi theme with lots of really weird organic aliens as enemies. I think the first boss was two big green things and you had 3 platforms you had to jump down or up to to avoid getting hit by them. Also I rememer levels which are like horizontal space shooters where your guys are flying through space. Thanks.

I remember this weird PC point-and-click adventure game that I can't seem to find anything about; I think it might've been called something along the lines of "UFOs"? Anyway, you were this purple one-eyed alien who crash-lands on earth and has to fix his spaceship. You had this remote control with one button it that occasionally did stuff (you could explode sheep at the first screen), and right-clicking would change your cursor into various actions. You had this companion, a duck that you saved out of a bear trap, that was pretty much . At some point it finds a needle in a haystack for you. You use it to pick open a barn door. At another, it starts frenching some ugly woman at a kissing booth and the game switches to a sort of fighting game mode as their tongues battle for a piece of gum or something like that. I also vaguely remember some fatass eating out of a bucket. At the end of the game the duck goes with you. It seems to be in love with you or something. I think it starts kissing you and you crash-land into another planet. Not sure. ...I swear I did not drop acid as a kid. Culinary Bears fucked around with this message at 16:03 on Aug 24, 2008 |

This is going to be a hard one I think. All I remember (clearly) is that the view was other top-down or slightly tilted. From the screen you started (possibly dropped off by a helicopter) there was only one way to go, up. From the next screen, I seem to recall right being the only way to go, most likely the screens scrolled as you got to the edge, like the first Zelda. As for gameplay, I have always remembered it like you had to remove obstacles (like Bomberman) but it doesn't really make sense. Do not recall any kind of enemies. I want to say that this is for NES, but I think I went through pretty much every game released here a few years ago trying to find it with an emulator. If it was not NES, it must have been either Genesis, C64 or Amiga (this was before SNES) as those were the only consoles I recall playing. But thinking about it, it should not be Amiga and the graphics were probably too advanced for C64 and I don't remember knowing anyone with a Genesis anyway.

Pocket Billiards posted:I've got a vague one. I'm fairly certain it was on an Amstrad PC and had a single word title. You were a guy in space suit with a helmet that looked similar to the Marines in Warhammer 40k, and you explored what I think was a large abandoned space ship. Kind of like Metroid, but much slower paced and not really any shooting I could recall. Since you didn't answer to the last suggestion, I'm going to assume that wasn't what you were looking for. When people go around talking about Space Marines in large abandoned spaceships they're generally referring to one of the Space Hulk games. Was never released on the Amstrad though, so that's probably not it. However a different 40K boardgame did get Amstraded. Not very Metroidy at all, and two-word title, but could it have been Space Crusade?

I have a very vague memory of seeing this game at a software etc. around 1998/9 and wanting to buy it but not having enough money at the time: I believe it was some kind of fantasy TBS game like heroes of might and magic, but there were different tilesets/areas, one of which was called 'wizard' or 'sorcerer' and had multicolored checkerboard landscapes and mushroom towers. Can anyone help me out? I've always wanted to track it down and play it.

I remember playing a game on amiga. It was in Roman times, and you were a gladiator. The game started with you in prison after which someone would come get you and you'd fight these opponents in a pretty basic fighting system from a side perspective. The fights were pretty slow paced but it was also incredibly brutal (you could die in one hit if I remember correctly). The third or fourth fight or thereabout was against an eagle, and in the later stages there was a kind of scrolling screen thing with arrows coming towards you from the right.

I have two games I'd like to know the names of, we used to play them at school - they were (I THINK) on the Acorn, (I seem to recall its OS being RISC or something?) - This is back in the early 90s. The first was where you controlled some mad scientist whose experiments had gone awry and you had to try and stop them and collect... spanners? Pieces of equipment? I can't remember. But it was very cartoony and upbeat. The second I will LOVE the person who names it. This has bothered me for over a decade. It's mainly a text based game with one of those crappy text images above it, where each of the characters you meet had names like Yeknod, Nibbog or Nogard, and the animal that their names spelt backwards told you if they were a good guy or bad.

I'm trying to remember the name of what I think is a pretty obscure game. Here's what I remember about it: in the opening there is a cutscene (which I think was a video) where you're being dropped off by a helicopter into a complex outside of a sealed dome(?) covering part of a city. The rest of the city is in ruins due to some kind of apocalyptic event but apparently the dome is a paradise or whatever and you need to get into it for some reason I don't remember. The actual game is played from a top-down perspective. It's a shooter with some RPG elements (like items (melee weapons, guns, grenades, armor, etc.) you can pick up and equip(?)). I can only remember two types of enemies, mutants and armed forces (possibly a private security force?), but there were many more. Two levels I specifically remember from the game were a prison/mental asylum(?) and a sewer level, but again there were many more I can only vaguely recall. The game was very open ended. I remember being able to basically go anywhere in the city (except the domed area), although I didn't get very far into most of them before dying. The game was either for DOS or Windows and I think it came on CD-ROM and was released sometime in the mid to late 90's (although I can't rule out the early 2000's). I remember trying to look up a guide for the game online when I first played it but at the time my Internet searching skills weren't great and I don't remember finding much info on it. Anyone have any idea which game I'm talking about? Mr.Radar fucked around with this message at 21:55 on Aug 31, 2008 |

There was this adventure game that I had as shareware DOS game. It was made entirely out of clay (if I remember correctly). You played as a dragon, but I think that was just the demo and they were other stories with other characters. All I remember was that there was a house with a gingerbread man that you could visit by boat.
