Has anyone else noticed that every game that's included "Chapter 1" or "Book One" or whatever in their game's title has been a catastrophically gigantic failure? Those Faery Tale games, Siege of Avalon, whatever the hell Yendorian is, etc...

I saw this game in this forum a while ago, maybe as much as a year Back then it was not finished yet, in fact in the OP they linked to their kickstarter page (the game was partially goon made). The game itself was from what i understand a game similar to the side scrolling beat em up arcade games from the early 90s (final fight, streets of rage, etc) and also shank of more recent times. The graphics/setting was western/cowboy style i think ? though that might not be true. I realise this isnt a lot to go on but id love to find out what this game was called!

I'm looking for a custom map for WC 3! It was LOTR themed and was just this really epic twelve person game where everyone controlled one of the faction and their units and battled it out. I would really like to download it again so I could play it more with friends, but have no idea where to find it and it doesn't seem to pop up on WC 3's bnet anymore.

I always go looking for that one from time to time. It's always difficult to find but I do get it eventually, I think it's just called "War of the Ring V3". My favourite thing to do was kill everyone with Aragorn so he could have Narsil, the One Ring, and the three Elven Rings of Power. Edit: Actually I think it's LotR: The Ring Wars Beta19. http://warcraft3.filefront.com/file/LotR_The_Ring_Wars;31370 HoldYourFire fucked around with this message at 12:18 on Apr 27, 2012 |

I'm trying to remember an educational PC game, and I think it was like Quarky & Quaysoo's Turbo Science as far as appearances went. What I remember was that there were three demons/devils and they tried to get kids to join gangs and paint graffiti and things like that. I believe one of the puzzles involved the gang using a pipe bomb on someones house. And when you cleared one of the bad things puzzles, they became reformed. Any help?

I'm still waiting for Volume 2 of Rap Jam and Primal Image. There's a Diablo clone I can't remember the name of. It came out some time in between Icarus and Revenant so late nineties. I'm pretty sure it only came out on PC but it is NOT Darkstone, Clans, or Nox. In the grim dark world of nineties gaming, all I remember for sure is that the setting was vaguely post apocalyptic but had magic/powers and guns also. It was definitely real time too not like Fallout Tactics or Odium.

I'm trying to remember the name of this Myst parody game that is not Pyst. It was a Mac game, probably shareware, from around 1995. I want to say the title screen had the letters in the title rearranging themselves accompanied by giggling noises, but that might be from something else. If you remember the old Macintalk voices, "Pipe Organ" was definitely used at some point in the game, I believe saying something about a "Powerbook disk." Do dooo. Do dooo. Doo doo doodoo something a powerbook disk. Rollersnake fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Apr 29, 2012 |

Here's an easy one for a chance: What was the indie space game with space pirate cats wearing beanies? The battles were simultaneously resolved turn-based battles taking place in y, x and z axis. There was this adventure phase in which you encountered all kinds of random stuff and then there was the battle phase. It isn't probably more than two years old.

I have a possibly difficult game that I have been thinking of recently. I remember it coming out in the early 90's when I was a child and it was dos based. The game was not in english and it was some type of horror FPS game where you had to kill santa claus, reindeer and elves. I remember the game being really creepy and dark, but I was also like 5 years old when I played this.

I'm trying to remember the name of this pretty obscure freeware DOS game. From what I remember, the main character had to go up and down floors in this building kind of like Elevator Action, but the whole level took place on one screen. I think the enemies were all zombies, and I distinctly remember whenever the player picked up a key or a weapon, a low quality sound effect played of some guy going "YEEEAAAH". I don't think there was any jumping, or if there was, it was pretty clumsy.

I want to know about a game where you are on another planet like Mars or something and you join a corporation or something like that. You have a base and you have to create mech's with custom weapons that you send after the other side in a arena-like place.

Got an obscure one thats based on childhood memories. It was a Commodore 64 game with a 2.5d isometric action/adventure(think crystal caverns) game set in the future. There was an inventory system, and rooms with huge holes you could fall down. The rooms were laid out room by room kind of like Zelda and i believe you couldd shoot things. My dad had a bootleg copy, i think it was labeled "commando" (obviously not commando). Been trying to figure it out for years.

scamtank posted:Corporation factions, piecemeal giant robots, RTS action, yup. That sounds like Metal Fatigue. No, it was more like a set arena-like enviroment and you had to customize your robot/tank things with all sorts of things, I think you could change the movement parts, like wheels to tank parts and so on, you still had legs for some of them I think so it's definitely not Warzone 2100, I own that already. I just hope I remember right so it's not something I thought up when I was sleeping.

I'm trying to remember the name of a game I played as a kid. I think it was on the SNES. You played as some kind of vampire hunter, infiltrating Dracula's castle. Not Castlevania, your character had a sword instead of a whip. You started at the outskirts of the castle and had to clear a couple levels including a barn to get to the castle itself, IIRC. I think one of the early bosses was a giant ghostly woman in a white gown or something.

Might it be Frankenstein: The Monster Returns, for the NES? I used to love playing this game.

My sister sent me this email: "What was that old game we played [around 1996-2000]? Ok so it was one of those games kind of like myst where you can't see yourself. There was a city under a glass dome that I never got into. You could use magic and there were no dungeons or really enemies that I remember." When I asked if it was Death Gate, she responded with: "It didn't have inventory. And i don't think it was point and click the same way monkey island was" Seems like the 'glass city' is the only notable thing she remembers. Edit: I think it may have been partial typing. Like 'throw fireball' sort of game. And it's like just where you don't see you, or an inventory or anything.

For quite a while I've been wondering about a game I remember very vaguely. It was an action game, sort of Zelda-ish, probably either for the N64 or the Playstation (or at least from that era). It was set in a location reminiscent of China. I'm pretty sure there was a fast travel function where you rode on the back of a dragon.

Does anybody remember a PC game where you play a goblin or an orc or something, and you go around in a red dungeon and fight bugs and stuff? It was a top-down view and it was turn-based.

Can anyone tell me the name of a game in which you build stuff Warcraft style and you have pumpkins as a resource(i think) and it's apparently post-apoc-steampunk'ish. It begins with a guy sitting on a bear on the intro screen.
