Tharax posted:i played this game for PC between doom2 and halflife1. it was a FPshooter, half the missions were played from the point of view of a human, and half as if you controlled a mechwarrior type-robot. it kept flicking between the two. Shogo Mobile Armor Division, I'm assuming. If its not I'm gonna be drat confused.

Capilarean posted:I've got a bit of an obscure one. It's an old game,2D isometric strategy/RPG game,where you played this wizard guy and a big point of the game was that you could summon monsters to fight for you. That's about all I remember aside from the fact that your health was represented by a character portrait and there was a bit of a gimmick where the portrait would age as you progressed in the game. This could be any of the Druid series of games, which are Druid, Druid II: Enlightenment and Warlock: The Avenger The only game that has a face anywhere in the UI is Warlock, however it's not the actual health meter as I remember it.

This is probably super obscure: it was an action-adventure/survival horror game in 3D set in England in a mythical time where evil has taken over the land, yadda, yadda, yadda. Excalibur and some other Arthurian stuff features prominently in it. It was bastard hard, was played primarily with the numpad instead of a more sensible WASD configuration, and I got either the demo or the full game off the cover disc of some French gaming mag back in the middle or late 90s. The most important detail is this: it looked and played a lot like BioForge, to the point where I wonder if it wasn't on the same engine - but I couldn't see it anywhere on Origin System's wiki entry and there's no page for BioForge's engine. e; gently caress yeah, found it. It was Ecstatica, half of what I remembered about it was wrong, and I only found it because I figured someone would mention BioForge in the comments on any potential video so I searched for BioForge and eventually found it on page 5.

I think it looks better than Alone in the Dark, but early survival horror in general is not a pretty sight. Were there ever any games other than this and that awful fighting game Ballz to make use of this graphical style?

I don't remember much about the game but it was a first person RPG that came in a collection. The graphics were Doomlike. I know this isn't much information. I remember you being able to morph into a monster. I think Darklands was in the pack.

Really wild guess: Lands of Lore II? It was released five years later than Darklands though, so it's probably not what you are looking for.

It looked a lot like that but i believe there was an animated intro where a modern day young adult got transported to some realm or some other bullshit... i don't know if my memory is correct though, i could be mixing up different games.

If you guys could help me identify this game I'd be so happy. Basicilly it was a graphic text adventure with pixel graphics that were surprisingly well done but I think it was all in black and white. Basicilly you were a farmer but the biggest thing about the game was its striking loneliness and somber atmosphere. I may just be imagining this part but when the crops would fail you knew you weren't going to be okay. So black and white text/graphic adventure about farming but I there might have been other professions you could choose as well.

Aw hell, I've got a game on my mind and I can't find it for the life of me. I know it was some NES game and it had cliff diving in it. I think there may have been other events, but all I remember is the cliff diving. Like, not a dramatic leap off of a cliff but the actual sport of cliff diving. I think NES + cliff diving may narrow down the list a bit.

Way back when I remember reading about this MMO that was going to really mix things up by having all in game money just be represented by real money. It doesn't sound like a big deal now with stuff like second life and all those Korean MMOs but at the time people were saying they were nuts. Does anyone know what I'm talking about or if it ever got off the ground? For time frame, I think it was supposed to come out around the same time as planetside and anarchy online.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about or if it ever got off the ground? You are perhaps thinking of Project Entropia, which debuted around 2002 or so. It didn't directly use real money, but pretty much all in-game currency was bought with real money, which was what allowed it to have an actual economic system. There was no 'free' currency. People were able to make lots of real money selling real estate and poo poo through it. I guess the game has since evolved into something called "Entropia Universe": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Entropia

Uhm, I'm trying to remember an old shareware adventure game. I think it was horror-themed, but still aimed at kids. It was a side-scroller deal where you played as a kid trying to rescue his dog who's been kidnapped (I think??). I think you would fight skeletons and ghouls with a slingshot, but don't hold me to that. A few of the locations you'd visit would be crypts with rusty spearheads around as environmental traps. I'm fairly certain that I remember getting it on a shareware disc with a few Commander Keen games, as well as a few other Isometric shooters (Probably Wolfenstein).

We were talking about Red Dead at work today when my boss mentioned a game set in the wild west that involved solving puzzles, making money by playing liar's dice at bars to pay for upgrades, and at night vampires would show up and attack. He said it was for the PS2 but couldn't remember the name, though he thought it was something like Silverado, but no such game exists. Does anyone know what he's talking about? It sounds pretty cool.

A freeware game about spies and computer hacking where you always get an error message when you start up the game, and if you look at the details of the error message it explains how to start the game interspersed with garbled text. Also, an old adventure game, I think made by Sierra, where there were "levels" or continents or something on the interior of the planet, and you traveled between them and sort of advanced through them as chapters.

There was a map of the city, or at least the neighborhood, and one of the locations was an arcade. The game was humorous and didn't take itself seriously.

Okay, I just remembered a game that was an oddball in the computer lab of the elementary school I went to, as it was pretty non-educational. It was an RPG where battles had an RTS-like format, and you could play as several main characters, each based on a particular element and having different units. The Death guy was the main villain I think, and had to be unlocked by beating the game.

It was more a strategy game with RPG elements, though. There wasn't any real plot to speak of.
