G.I. Jaw posted:I could have sworn this game was called Mordor, or had the word Mordor in it, but searching for that doesn't reveal anything that looks similar, and I have no idea if it was in any way associated with LOTR. It isn't Deadly Rooms of Death is it? It's often abbreviated to DROD which looks a bit like Mordor I guess.

I'm trying to remember the name of a game that was for N64/PSX/Can't remember but was in that generation, saw it being played on Video and Arcade top 10. Maybe. The premise was that global armageddon loomed, from something external like a meteor or something, and someone had built a macguffin to prevent it; problem was, said macguffin was a mile wide. Its smooth transportation to wherever it needed to be hinged on the player's ability to use giant mechs/construction vehicles to (in a timely manner) destroy the gently caress out of every city block in its path.

Bieeardo posted:I want to suggest Fantasy Empires, but only because fighting battles yourself was such a worthless undertaking that there was no point but to auto-complete them. The battlefields themselv literally had a chessboard pattern of light and dark tiles all over them, kinda like Flickeys Island I guess, that reflected the terrain type, i.e. yellow and red for desert, green and brown for forest etc. I honestly am starting to think that it was a bad game. Also, you could organise parties in taverns, I remember that too. Thanks again everyone!

This is an extremely long shot, but I'm looking for an old Commodore 64 game that might have been foreign. You play a fairy (like Tinkerbell, with wings and stuff) and you can progress in up to four directions from each room/screen. Some rooms have enemies and some rooms are dark. You can't actually fight anything. If you hit something, you start to fall, and can sometimes fall many screens before you land on a surface. I don't think you can die, but sometimes your wings will fade out if you get hit too much and fall too far, and you won't be able to move for a few seconds before you can regenerate. There might have been a time limit. There were items you could pick up but I never figured out what to do with them or what the point of the game was. The music was really cool. The thing that's loving me on this is that I swear the game was called Eidolon, but there's a very popular C64 game called The Eidolon that has nothing to do with what I'm looking for. All I want to do is find it somewhere on the internet so I can read about what you were actually supposed to do. It was a really pretty/cool game and I was never able to do more than fly around and eventually get frustrated and quit. I even tried mapping it on paper in case that gave me a clue, but it seems the world is randomly generated every time you start.

Can you remember at all what the faction selection screen looked like? e. wait, hang on, that game is turn based, but my game was definitely realtime? I think my mind is broken Ohh just remembered another detail: Each faction had a home city/base that looked unique on the campaign map, and the earth factions was a giant tree. Final edit: It IS this game! Thanks so much. My mind was confusing it with something else, it must have been. Yes. boner meter fucked around with this message at 16:09 on May 16, 2011 |

This was a Super Nintendo game. Fantasy RPG, but it played more like D&D style rules that final fantasy and was complicated enough that I didn't really figure it out during the rental period. It had an interface similar to those old dungeon hack PC games. You had (created?) 4 characters and you had their portraits and inventories on the side of the screen, with the rest being a first person perspective of the dungeon. The story had the party going into a dungeon or crypt and immediately being trapped by a cave in.

Pogonodon posted:I think it was a 90s era DOS game. You had creatures you bred in your lab for some reason. There were little animations for them wandering around, eating, fighting. I remember the fighting bit scaring me, since the loser would get its head knocked off. They looked like they were made of clay and had colorful scales. I think they came in four or five colors. One was shaped a bit like an H. Found this one, it was Unnatural Selection.

Can anyone tell me what video game I'm trying to think of? I believe it's a very old shareware title, maybe DOS, and I'm pretty sure it appeared on the original volume of "100 Great Action Arcade Games." However, I can only find any information for volumes 2 through 5 on Google. The CD also included demos for games like Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold, Wolfenstein 3D, and One Must Fall. Anyhow, this game I'm trying to remember the name of was a 2D fighter in which you could pick one of several gladiators, from monsters to armored knights, skeletons, etc., and one of the characters I distinctly remember being an ostrich... I think another was a slime. The fights took place in a big sandy medieval arena, and I think that when a character was struck, blood or colored fluid would fall to the ground and stick there until the round was over. I also think there may have been some kind of tourney mode, where you can participate but could also watch the AI duke it out (since I was terrible at the game), and then at the end a winner would be crowned somehow. Anyone have any idea what game I'm thinking of, or know of a place where I could find the list of the games that were included on the "100 Great Action Arcade Games" original volume?

I can't even find the map of the level I'm remembering, though I think it may have been x2 or 3. I think this game opening with Megaman getting stomped by this floaty ship thing and Zero rolls up and rescues you. He may or may not have died. The island level I'm thinking of had the armour unlock down one of the drop shafts that usually kills you! Edit: I think I just misremembered the level and am mixing up a beginning and another level (from x2). Just gonna play through both. Synnr fucked around with this message at 04:04 on May 22, 2011 |

I feel bad about forgetting this, but I can't remember the name of a game I really had wanted to try. IIRC, it was for Xbox (Original) and Dreamcast, or something like that. It involved playing minigames for money, and there was 2 games in the series. It was supposed to have a third. The main character liked capsule toys, and people joked about it. It was kind of a weird series, that regrettably won't get it's final entry.

There's a DS game with a Groundhog Day kind of thing going on. You need to make very specific decisions (or save scum maybe?) or the story will repeat until you 'do it right'. I looked around and can only find "Flower, Sun, and Rain" which I don't think is it! I think I'm thinking of an RPG. Did I just hallucinate this game?
