Nimbus posted:I'm trying to remember the name of this old PC game (late 80's/early 90's). You were like the commander of earth or something and there was a chain of planets separating you and the evil enemy planet. You could take over planets and teraform them or something. You would fight by sending out troops in space transports and you would set how expensive their armor was and how cautious/suicidal they were. This is Overlord. Or Supremacy-- the title seems to be different across platforms. Bieeanshee fucked around with this message at 02:42 on Apr 2, 2010 |

Brut posted:Ok so it was a first person shooter, it was mostly set ourdoors and at night, the later levels had a creepy constant owl sound playing in the background, and I think the final boss was some sort of massive amount of...ducks or chickens coming out of a spaceship. This was on the PC, I think on windows 95 but I'm really not sure. That sounds like it could be Redneck Rampage.

ok, here's one I remembered the other night: Early 90's DOS shareware game, probably like 93/94. You have a stack of paddles that you can control moving left to right and you have to catch items which are dropping. Just like the game for atari with the thief who drops bombs, but the items were 'wackier', fruits and pieces of cake initially but eventually animal heads? anyone? edit: Basically a clone of Kaboom for Atari 2600 that got really crazy. I think one of the later levels had you catching floppy disks. more remembering : It had VGA in the title, like VGADrop or something to that effect. had 256 color graphics, though my pc at the time had a greyscale vga monitor. Yes, I played through Doom in black and white. found it, I think: catchem. http://www.dosgames.com/forum/about13750.html glennnyc fucked around with this message at 18:16 on Apr 11, 2010 |

I have been trying to find/remember the name of an arcade game, probably from the early-mid 90s. It was kind of like Magic Sword but more RPG-based. It was multiplayer. It was a time limit based game where adding coins increased the amount of time you had to play. I do not believe the levels were linear like Magic Sword. The only thing I really remember as far as memorable things was that one boss was kind of an ooze that I think would break apart and reform and dropped from the ceiling. It may have also encased players, preventing them from doing anything.

I just remembered a 4x game I used to play when I was young. It was shareware, presumably made for Win 3.1, and very similar to Masters of Orion and Space Empires. It was fairly simplistic, with a lot of the ship graphics being blue colored blocky blobs. If it helps, I think it was made by "MVP Games" as there was a splash screen to that effect. Or was it "MVP Software"? It was MVP something. Catgirl Al Capone fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Apr 16, 2010 |

I've been trying to remember the name of a game I played on the Amiga (or possibly PC) around 1993-1994. It was an isometric sandbox style game set in Rome. You started the game as a slave in Pompeii which was promptly destroyed by the volcano, and ended up in Rome. The idea was to rise in status until you eventually bought slaves and could become a senator. Anyone know the name?

trying to remember name of an apple shareware game from the early nineties where you shipped things on trains. all i remember was trains coming into station and the cargo disappearing, looking down from a birds eye view. i thought it was called "take the A train" but searching for that led to dead ends. another game i wish i knew the name of was a pc fighting game between mostly robots. it was very early 3d graphics. i remember it taking 16 floppy discs to install. i could never beat the first fight so i only had two or three robots to fight with.

Hello everyone. I have been trying to remember the name of a game which looked kinda like neverwinter nights (that is, an RPG in which you also had several partners, kinda like Dragon Age too). I dont know too much of the story, but I remember that when you attacked there was something behing you, a white mass with tentacles which was supposed to be a god or something similar to that. One of the endings of the game was that you were cast out and long after that the gods battled you and you were defeated after killing a great number of them. Sorry if its a well known game but I can't for the life of me remember how it was called

Got to be Rise of the Robots or One Must Fall: 2097. (Leaning towards FMV-heavy RotR if it really was that many disks.)

I remember an arcade style, I want to say about 1989. It was a side scroller action game featuring a guy in a suit of armor fighting in what I think I remember as castle-style maps, and you had to jump over obstacles and attack enemies with an axe. The guy was about mario-size, if that helps. Meatball fucked around with this message at 15:40 on Apr 18, 2010 |

Okay, I have two: 1. 3D shooter. You could switch between third-person and first, I think. It was sci-fi themed, maybe set on another planet? I think you had a jetpack (with limited fuel, 'cause I remember somehow getting trapped at the bottom of a pit or something). Enemies might have been giant black insect-types. At at least one point between levels, you got some sort of FMV video of a bearded man (apparently a superior of yours?) explaining your next mission. I think one level took place in this giant wasteland with a ton of "silos" scattered around it, and you had to destroy them. poo poo, I'm not making a lot of sense, but that's all I can remember. 2. Very old game for MS-DOS. I barely remember anything about this and don't expect to find it. You played as a guy, I think teenage or college-age. I think you were fighting against aliens, although I don't remember any of the actual action, so it might have been a puzzle game or something. At one point (or maybe the whole game, I dunno), you collected soda cans. I remember the graphics being pretty primitive, but the level I can remember had a rather distinctive layout - I recall being underground. Sorry for the bad explanations. I was little when I saw these.

Thank you, but this isn't it.  I remember my description left out some important stuff that distinguishes it from that game. For one, when I say the graphics were primitive, I mean really primitive. I think the "soda cans" were actually just a few pixels, and the ground was really just a block of brown. I think there might have been largish borders on the left and right, so the game had a mostly vertical screen, although there might have been a HUD on one side.I realize how bad a description this is. It's been way too long. Come to think of it, I hope this doesn't turn out to be a dream I had.

Trying to remember a 2D platformer from aaaaages ago. You were a kid with a slingshot and most of the enemies were zombies. Pretty sure it was surprisingly bloody when you hit a zombie, too. I think the first level was in woods (and you completed it by finding a broomstick and flying across?), later levels were in underground caves and the final level I ever got to was inside a house. The dismembered hands crawling towards you were bastards!

This should be simple, but I can't for the life of me remember the name. It's a split-screen versus game where one player plays breakout, the other maybe tetris or some other variant of block game. I remember decent for its time graphics, tiny rear end powerups causing distortion ripples all over the place, and a predominantly gray background. Also I think the breakout paddle had little guns on either side of it.

Another simple one hopefully, there was this old playstation 1 (psx) game that was about this space guy, he had this ray-gun I think, and if you fell off a ledge he yelled "Geronimoooo". I can't remember what the game was called but it's been stuck in my head for years and years.

Here's an oldie for you guys: it was a top-view racing game for the C64 where you had to drive through a track that would continually get narrower and narrower as you went along. As soon as you hit the side your car would blow up. From what I can remember (this was back in grade 3), you could select the narrowness of the road from the start menu. You could also speed up your car as you raced but you'd have a greater chance of crashing.

Trying to remember a console driving game I played at a friends house in 1998 or so, either on Nintendo 64 or Playstation I think. It had this stunt driving mode which was the only one we played, driving around this bizarre arena trying to do stunts off of weirdly shaped gray and blue structures. Hitting the weird shapes and ramps at different angles would send your car flying off in a combination of flips and rotations and rolls etc, and the game would flash points on the screen based on how many stunts you could combine in one. If I remember right it had car damage, so the stunts would gently caress up your car until it exploded or stopped working. Then you would respawn and do more stunts. It was definitely one of the funnest games I've ever played.

Be surpised if anyone can get this one but I recall playing a flat shaded 3D DOS shareware/demo game where you control a flying space craft in a dark kind of metropolis setting. The aim was to keep the craft in the air for as long as possible using limited engine boosts and light sources on the ground which lifted you.
