I think it may have been Steel Panthers, the screens look about right. I am going to ask one of my friends if he still has it, at least now I know which game to ask him for, THANKS! !

I think this is Legacy of the Wizard.

This has been driving me insane for the past couple of days and I am actually starting to think that I had a dream about it and it never existed, but I remember it so vividly that I think it had to exist....here goes. A few years ago, (2004-2006 ish?) there was an MMORPG in development whose main innovation was that all of your characters were mortal. Meaning that you made a character, played him as he developed and grew up, got married, had kids and eventually died. Once a character dies, thats it. He is dead. But you could pick up play where you left off as one of your offspring. I don't remember if the game was ever released or not, but I remember there being two schools of thought on these forums about how it was going to be the best thing ever and the other people who hated it with a passion (that really narrows it down I know). If it did come out, it wasn't around very long before failing. Or if it ended up being canceled before release, it was canceled pretty close to the time it came out because I remember hearing a lot of talk about it based on beta testers opinions and seeing tentative box art and that sort of thing. I have this recollection that the game box was blue, and the title was a single word I think? I may be totally off on that bit. Someone please help me, I am about to lose my poo poo trying to remember this game. Even sites that have MMORPG graveyards on them can't seem to help me out.

stevej88na posted:This sounds vaguely like Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness, which was awesome except for a bug that kept me from making it further than castle Borgov. The days before downloadable patches! While a great game in its own right, sadly it isnt the one I was thinking of. Mine took place(in the demo anyway) in a desert(maybe a SPACE desert?), and I dont remember it featuring any voice acting. One thing that sticks out in my mind about it was accidentally toggling combat mode on and trying to talk to a guard captain about something. Instead of talking though I attacked him and was soundly defeated. Thinking more on it, it might have been 'Black something' rather than 'Dark.' I cant remember the exact year the demo appeared in PC Gamer, but I know it was during Coconut Monkeys existence.

Asking for a friend, hope someone knows! Old pc game he used to play 10 years ago? -it was like a turn-based strategy game kind of, theres a few different kinds of units with different size/speed and you have to like, do something that involves carrying a ball -i dont remember what you had to do with it but i remember you had to kill the guy carrying the ball for the other team if they got it -i remember the name for the biggest unit was something short, like 4 letters edit: Also, another game I'm trying to remember, PC game, 2d graphics, was a text game thing, get you type like, get ball, use ball or w/e. Started with a haunted??? mansion maybe, maybe has a mad scientist type guy. But one of the first things in there was a dog, and you had to get meat to get past the dog I think.

I have been looking for one particular game for years now. I only played a demo of it, I'd say in 1999-2000. It was a 3d game, you were supposed to colonise planets. Action and strategy hybrid, you could directly control your units. What I specifically recall is that the first mission was on Earth, and you had to control a robot to bring a battery of sorts to your shuttle. The second one was on the Moon, where you learned how to harvest things. That is all I recall.

I do remember that you type in complete sentences and the game had a pretty robust dialogue tree. I'm not sure if this is enough information, but someone has to remember this game. Maybe Star Trek: Kobayashi Alternative or Promethean Prophecy? I recall trying to get Kobayashi Alternative to run (unsuccessfully) on my C64 with an Enhancer 2000 disk drive.

The game I am looking to find was a sort of strategy/simulation for the PC taking place in fuedal England. I believe it came out in the early to mid 90's, and I'm pretty sure it was made by Sierra. You took on the role of a minor lordling and the end goal was to defeat the king(?) and conquer all of England. You could participate in tournaments as a knight/lord, which consisted of melee's and jousting. There was a box of ladies from court that you could ask for favor in the jousts. There was also a castle building portion to the game, which seemed rather in depth for my 14 year old self. You would build walls, buildings, farms, etc. You could travel around to all the castles/holds/towns/etc and shop at the stores, fight, things like that. I've been looking for this game for years, please god help me! edit - The melee's/castle invasion type things were in a real lovely first person 3d type engine, think doom/doom2, probably released around the same time as doom2. Pretty sure the jousting was in 3d as well. Hope that helps! Earthworm fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Apr 20, 2009 |

Not expecting much luck with this one. It was some sort of strategy game on the Amiga which was based around circuitry, I vaguely remember something about defending your batteries against the other side using various electrical components. Pretty sure it was turn based and in addition to building your circuit and components there were things which you could move along the wires to attack. It may have been public domain as I had a few public domain compilations. Probably looked something like this.  With a build menu on the side with all the things you could make.

There was a game at the Metreon in San Francisco about 5 years ago. You played as a T-rex, running around killing other Dinosaurs and having raptors jump on you and kill you. It was all polygonal, but done in a similar fashion to any side-scrolling beat-em-up. I have never been able to find the game since, nor have I ever been able to find out what the name of the game ever was.

Can any of you help me find the title of this game? I think the game was released around 2003-2004, and I used to play a demo version that came on a magazine coverdisc. Basically, you had to scare these sorority girls out of a haunted house. You got to control where to place these ghosts, (I think you could also place some ghostly noises, to create a sense of fear). I think the girls also spoke in 'simlish', and the graphics were similar in style to The Sims 2.
