I'm trying to remember an old windows game, around the release of Win98 I believe. It was a 3rd person shooter/action game and the big selling point was that you had a jet pack suit that you could fly around in. I think that it may have been about killing alien bugs or something, but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

Alright, I was sitting here minding my own business when all of a sudden I recalled a game I was excited to see come out but I can't recall the name to check up on it. It was being created by a small company and started development as many as 4 years ago. The last I had seen of it they had released 3 tech demos. It was a first person genre set in fantasy medieval times. I recall one of the demos was a large ogre roaring and they did a 360 around it showing off their mapping tech. Another was showing off their shadow tech watching a dragon stoop on a rock and walk around it roaring at you. The last tech demo was them spawning what looked like tons of little goblins and shooting a bow or crossbow at them to kill them. They also released a short blip they had completed which showed the user running through a huge castle fighting ogres and goblins as he went with bow/arrow and a sword then going outside to see a huge land and a dragon flying in. (This is no Oblivion) If anyone has some information on this game let me know!

Nothing else has come out since those amazing tech demos almost 5 years ago. Intel bought the company for some reason (presumably to help advertise their new chips) but this was like 2 years ago.

Ah thanks a lot guys it was really picking at my brain. That's really too bad those tech demos looked phenomenal to me. edit: While poking around their website it looks like they are still doing their thing at a steady pace but have been fleshing out their engine and editing tools to market. I also noticed that Red 5 contracted their engine for a new MMO which is interesting. reborn fucked around with this message at 22:37 on Oct 20, 2009 |

Waroduce posted:Are there any games that are like oregon trail? but for adults? I'm assuming you mean relatively simple gameplay, but with challenges thrown up at you to decide how to deal with? King of Dragon Pass! You manage a clan of vikings look-alikes, and random events throw up questions and challenges for you to face. Your seven hand-picked nobles will serve as your ring and advise you, but your choices determine the fate of your clan, as well as make decisions about how you run your tula month to month. It is vastly more complex than Oregon Trail, though.

Heres one, it was a PC game I played in the mid 90s, it's a top down view party based RPG and the graphics were kind of like Ultima 6/7. The main thing I remember about the game was that the world would slowly be covered in a fog type thing moving south to north and you couldn't travel to any of the places it had covered. The goal of the game was to find a way to stop the fog before it covered the world. I think you might have travelled to an underwater city and a city in the sky at some point in the game but I'm not 100% sure on that. Anyway I'd love to play this game again since I remember having a blast with it many years ago. EDIT: Found it! It's called Challenge of the Five Realms, it was released in 1992 by Microprose. Strangely it seems to barely exist on the internet, though after some searching I found a copy on an abandonware site and it's probably going to be awful. dc chunks fucked around with this message at 08:57 on Oct 22, 2009 |

There was a true 3D game on the amiga where you start in a spaceship flying over a checkerboard landscape with various very simple objects in it, a mushroom tower and a fence or something. You could leave the planet and fly into space, where red space pirate ships attack you. You could fly to other planets as well and check out the surface. When you came too close to the sun, the screen would melt. I never understood how to play it and now I even forgot the name.

I played this game on my dads apple 2ci. it was set in a space station, and it was in first person. you could visit different parts of the ship and talk to other people, and look at the hydroponic garden and eat at the cafeteria and stuff. after talking to a certain person there would be some alert you would have to go down to an earth city to fight alien robot things. you would drive a tank through a maze and kill flying robot aliens and arrive at a building where you would go inside and resume killing alien-bots. you could also pick up artifacts and weapons hidden behind wall panels. it was a really fun game! what was it called?

Thinking of a PSX RPG (Possibly for PS2 but I'm pretty sure it's PSX). I don't remember much about it. The only things I kind of remember is that I think the very first part of the game takes place in some kind of prison. Pretty sure there was a world map you could walk on. Also, I think I kind of remember some place that had to deal with a mine? Like, a haunted mine town or something? The first thing I thought of was Wild Arms 2, but I'm pretty sure this is wrong.

Here's a tough one: It's an edutainment game for DOS that I played in second grade, so around 1994. It was a mystery set in a house, where I think there was some kind of ghost trying to educate your character about whales or something. I think there was some kind of coin you had to find or something, and I never got much farther than that. I know it's not a lot to go on, but how many edutainment mysteries about whales have there been?

It was an NES or Genesis game (don't remember, exactly) and you played a guy who started on a beach. He had a weird flying gadget if I recall correctly, and there were crabs in the trees. You could also go left or right when you started, instead of just right. I think the game had "Doctor" in the title, but I'm not positive on it.

There's this game that has forever been haunting me, it was a US game on the TG-16. I have incredibly limited memory of it, as it was a friend's system. He had this game and Bonk. All I remember was that is that there was this cloud floor (think Super Mario vine area) on a blue background, and a stylized Gundam-type robot was either the character or onscreen for some reason. There was also a rainbow. Wasn't a sidescrolling ship flying game, but probably a sidescroller of some sort. Yeah. edit: Christ, the game that was haunting me for years I believe is Keith Courage, one of the games you'd check first. I went on Youtube and BAM, right there. I just never considered it.

This one might be a bit obscure. I once picked up an extremely cheap bargain bin game, for windows, I'm pretty sure it was late 90s or v.early 2000s. It was set in a futuristic city and you flew around in your flying car. I think you were some sort of mercenary who could do missions for the local law enforcement or for gangs. You could shoot stuff, it was set in third person and could be pretty fast paced. There wasn't much more to the game, but I distinctly remember that the main areas of the city was connected by a large flying car highway, and there was a sports stadium I think. The game wasn't all that good to be honest, but it's name has been bugging me. This game was not G-Police, I already thought it might have been, but that seems to be a better game.

I remember playing a Myst-like game at a friend's house years ago, and its name has been bugging me for a while. It was for the PC, and it had a pretty weird sense of humor. Like there was one part early on with an, "In case of fire, break glass," box that contained a hammer and a fire extinguisher. To get the fire extinguisher, you had to open it, grab the hammer, close it again, then use the hammer to break the glass; if you went right for the fire extinguisher, something would kill you. There was also a spell that erased purple things, which I seem to remember being used in a lot of puzzles. One instance had you using it on poisonous purple flowers to pass. Another far more bizarre use had an infinite hallway - no matter how many times you clicked forward, the entrance would be right there when you turned around. Outside of the hallway was a sign that said, in purple writing, "INFINITE HALLWAY". Using the purple-erasing spell to erase "INFINITE" would turn it into a normal hallway, allowing you to progress. You could also erase "HALLWAY" to turn it into the vastness of space, which you could then jump out into to kill yourself. I think the game's name was in Latin, if that helps at all.

IIRC the prison part is like the first playable level. I kind of remember it's somewhere in some dark woods at night, and you're going in to break someone out.

Try The Legend of Dragoon. It begins in the woods with a dragon attacking the hero and then 10 minutes later someone he knows is in prison so he busts them out. I don't know about haunted mines but it's worth a shot.

Thinking of a game that would have been on Macs a good decade or so ago if not more. It was I believe a third person shooter with I beleive a female protagonist that may have been dressed in black. I know for a fact that there were sniping sections and that you fought at least one tank. This was on a few of the computers at my elementary school, so there's a reasonable chance that it was a pack-in.
