I'm trying to remember the name of this MMO, which was just plain surreal when I played it. It seemed like the entire game engine was based on Zelda: LttP's game engine, right up to the sprites all looking like Link.

It was old, too. I remember playing it around 2004-ish and even then the community was more or less dead.

This one should be really obvious but I'm dumb and can't remember it's name at all. You were cops and the first level was a bank robbery with the next scene possibly taking place outside the building. It was the typical arcade lightgun shooter where you'd point away from the screen to reload and shoot items, like other guns or health, to grab them. I remember that the default weapon was a revolver and one of the bonus guns was a magnum or something, indicated by bulkier looking ammunition.

I don't think there was too much movement, you would just stand there while enemies appeared and after a while you'd move on to the next level after checking out your accuracy/shots fired and all that. Also it had two player support.

If this still sounds retardedly vague I could try and squeeze out a few more (possibly inaccurate) specifics. :(

The second game was, if I recall correctly, originally released on the C64. I know that there was an unofficial remake of the game that ran on Windows that I played probably 4-5 years ago. You played as a wizard in a battle against other wizards, where you summoned monsters and cast spells on a rectangular grid. It was essentially a wizard-based turn-based tactics game.

Could this be Lords of Chaos? One of my favourite games :3:

Edit: on second thought it might be Chaos, that has a few remakes by now.

Here's the a video of the level I was talking about, it's the Playstation version though. Those magnum rounds were so satisfying. :allears: You can also see the transition into the next scene that I was talking about about a minute into this. There are also a bunch of goofy looking hostages prancing about!

Can anyone help me with this one, it was a game I played at school in the mid 90's.

It was a platform puzzle game of sorts, set in space, or a space station.

I seem to remember that the main character was a little guy with springs for legs (or just bendy legs)

I remember one of the early levels (possibly the first level) you started outside the ship, and you had to make your way inside through an airlock, progress from there.

I seem to remember you couldn't jump, or at least not very high, but you could walk up walls, and ceilings, and then drop down.


I have no clue what the name of the game was, so does anyone have a clue ?

It's not Exile before anyone mentions that.

There was this RTS I remember playing back in the late 90's. The game had some sort of medieval setting...and I believe it was developed in the UK. I recall it being pretty entertaining but all I remember from the actual gameplay was that the archers had a really distinct sound to them and the units walked around rather slowly. I know this is vague as gently caress but it's been driving me crazy for a while.

Anybody?

Possibly Seven Kingdoms II?

I'm thinking of a short horror interactive fiction game. It takes place at an abandoned motel, and at the end you come across a zombie thing that makes insect-like buzzing noises. I thought it was called Cellar Door, but when I search for "cellar door interactive fiction" all I can find is an IF interpreter with that name. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

A bit of wandering around the IF Archive (http://www.ifarchive.org/) and a bit of follow-up googling to confirm my suspicions led me to:

Storm Cellar

The title caught my eye because of the "cellar" connection. It's probably short (as competition entries tend to be), and its description on IF Archive indicates that it's horror. I also found a very brief (1 paragraph) review that mentioned a motel. So there's a fairly good chance that it's what you're looking for.

Sorry if this has game been covered in this thread or elsewhere, I don't have search.

About 8 years ago I played a very stupid RTS game at a friend's house. The premise was, basically, that instead of gathering resources like money or crystals or whatever, you had an entirely sheep based economy. You had factories that were powered by sheep on treadmills, tanks driven by sheep, cannons that launched sheep, etc. Black sheep produced twice as much energy. Much of the game consisted of stealing your opponent's sheep while defending your own.

Note: I also played a similar game from the around same time where you were a dog who had to guide sheep through a maze. I'm not looking for this game.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: This was a PC game.

There's this old rear end point and click adventure game I cant think of the name of. There are only like two scenes i can remember. In one, you try to use a stick as a lever to lift a boulder but it breaks. In another, you sow dragon teeth(maybe?) which grow into soldiers. You then throw a rock into the group of soldiers, causing them to fight each other(this part comes from mythology). What the hell game is this.

I'm looking for a late 90's PS1 game that I used to play. It was a fighting game of some sort, but not in the vein of Tekken or Street Fighter. It had a top-down view. It was multiplayer, but I don't think it had split screen. I don't remember much about the characters, except that one was a dinosaur that could bite the opposing players, and could lay eggs which would spawn mini dinosaurs to aid the player. There were four stages, one of which was sandy/desert. This game was on a demo disk which also had some sort of music creation game on it.

This *might* be Vengeance of Excalibur which has you sow dragon's teeth to make a skeleton army at one point, but its more of an RPG so I'm not certain.

A post I made a couple of years ago in this very thread about a PC game, but never got a satisfactory answer:

Project1 posted:

This is a game I played a demo of, so I can't say with certainty that it was ever released.

Anyway, it was a turn-based strategy, from about the mid-90s, I'd say. You did the usual things, recruiting troops and so forth, and each turn took 30 days. Your armies had their food supplies, and you could forage for food. Foraging in a city was the quickest way to get food, but this reduced the food stocks for the city. Otherwise, you could get food slower for free in the wilderness.

You could also hold tournaments of varying kinds which made different troop types available for the duration of the tournament. There were different types, for example a magic tournament would make wizards and so forth available, while other tournament focuses provided different troop types.

There may have been different races available, but I'm not sure about that.

Also, a couple of C64 games from my childhood. One was a text adventure which I believe had static location pictures. At the start, you find yourself strapped to a conveyor belt which is whisking you to your doom. To escape that, you had to tell it to snap the cable tying you down. It would first tell you that you couldn't possibly be strong enough to do that, but if you try again it works. The secret twist was that unbeknownst to you, you're actually a cyborg/android or something, who thinks it's human, or it was human or something.

The other was some sort of first person adventure game. It was in German, but it might have just been a German version, not the original language. All I remember is a message appearing on screen which I was told said something like "Come here, pussycat!", and then this naked woman shows off her body to the player. It definitely wasn't a porn/sex game, though, just that one bit. If you tried to do anything with her besides look or use the camera, she'd hit you and throw you out of the room. Amusing stuff to pre-teen kids, apparently.

EDIT: Just remembered another scene from the last game: being in a kitchen, and while this old woman had her back turned and was cooking, you could click in the fridge or maybe it was the cupboard, to steal food and restore your health. If you got too greedy, she'd realise what you were doing, hit you, and throw you out. I guess healing was necessary considering everyone seems to beat you up.

I'm looking for a very old PC game. It was sort of similar to a roguelike (I think) and I think the title might have included the word Mana. Anyway, you'd explore dungeons that were randomly generated and if you died it showed the phrase 'Another one bites the dust!'

I have really good memories of this game, but I can't think of anyway else to describe it.

Sorry for a necromance, but does anyone remember an RPG where, about halfway through, your characters find a large mural in a dungeon or something that it supposed to tell the end of the world, or the past, or something? I think it was PS1 or PS2 era.

I know Tales of Vesperia had one, but I don't think that's the one I am remembering. If I remember right, it was in sorta a yellowish brown room, and as you were going deeper into the dungeon, the mural was on your left side.
