I played an RTS game for the computer back in the day. I think it came out around 1998-2001 or so. I remember starting with cavemen then having your cavemen go pick berries or something. Also you could send it after a deer and he would pull out a spear and try to kill it. Then the animal would die and you'd have to delegate cavemen to go harvest its meat. I remember killing an elephant or something and harvesting meat forever all the way across the map. I'm pretty sure its not Empire Earth.

I used to play this game that was entirely browser-based, and a whole lot like Diablo. I think it was Russian-made or something, and was based around your character climbing the levels of a tower or something? If nobody knows, a similar kind of game would be awesome - i'm looking for something Diablo-like to play in a browser. edit: it had a one-word title. I want to say it started with an A, was Ak-something or Av-something, but I could be waaaaay off. Popular Human fucked around with this message at 22:23 on May 22, 2012 |

This is inspired by Steam putting Thief up for sale. I was showing my gf some gameplay videos, and she remembers playing a similar game that she can't remember the name of. Things we know 1) It was a third person stealth game, on the PC. 2) The protagonist was a bald asian man. 3) There is a death scene for the character where, if you're caught sneaking, you see yourself strapped to a chair while some guards beat you up. Anyone know what this might be? Thanks! e: She stepped out for a couple hours, I'll show her second sight when she gets back. Don't think it's Hitman, because she said that once the guards saw her it was impossible to get away, whereas I remember playing Hitman and blasting away guards. Actually, watching the Second Sight gameplay now it looks too combat-y from what she was describing. What Fun fucked around with this message at 16:41 on May 23, 2012 |

poo poo, that sounds really familiar. Did Hitman: Codename 47 have "captured" cutscenes like that? It's been ages since I played it, but I don't think so. (Although there is a scene in one of the early levels where you find someone else being beaten by the guards...)

Update: She says it looked very similar to Hitman: Codename 47, but that's not quite it. It's not Second Sight. Thanks for the responses, if anyone else has any ideas I'd love to hear them.

Whats the name of the puzzle game that was on the first PlayStation demo(maybe 98 I've never played the full version) that has you controlling a character on a platform that was divided into boxes. At the start of the game blocks tumble to the end of the platform and you have to mark the squares on the platform to destroy the blocks as they pass. The objective was to clear all the blocks before they fell off the platform. If you fell off the platform or lost to many blocks off the edge, the game would end then give you a IQ score or something like that. I loved that game and I wish I could play it.

My cousins had this PC game. It was a 2-D platformer, where your character could drop bombs which would actually destroy the environment. There were several different kinds; I think blue were the weakest/smallest, green were a little stronger, red were stronger than that, and there was this blue nuke-thing that would destroy half the map. The game was in Spanish, I think. Most of the levels just had normal enemies who you had to throw bombs at, although there was this one later on that had a giant floating green crab, which may have been invincible. It sort of wandered around the map. Different music would play whenever it was on the screen. This is all 1998-2000 or so, by the way.

Long shot: There was an indie game I used to play on PC ~8 years ago. It was a multiplayer game where each player controlled a different colour of sand (or particles that resembled sand) and by covering your opponent's sand you would change it to your colour.

Okay, I have one that's been brewing for a long time... I believe that it is a SNES game, but at the worst it is definitely a console game because the mate whom I used to watch play it did not have a computer. It was a somewhat traditional RPG that I recall being very dungeon-crawl based using a first-person, Might & Magic-type perspective with what I think were 6 characters in your party, but this part is vague. It had something to do with cards - I vaguely remember every character and monster being portrayed as such and this system might have had something to do with spells as well. The only other thing that I remember is my friend casting some sort of Earth-based spells and a bunch of small rocks pounding his enemies. Not much to go on, but there you are. Much obliged for any insight.

There's this indie freeware platformer-shooter, loosely based on the creator's nightmares. Its graphics are low-res and all in black, white, and red. The title is something like "All Of My Friends Are Dead" or "Everyone I Know Is Dead". Someone's dead, I remember that much.

Not sure if you guys do arcade games, but it's worth a shot. This is a game I remember from the late 90s/early 00s. It's an arena shooter where you're on a red and a blue team, and you run around the arena, shooting your enemies, and collecting the crystals they drop (the point of the game was to have the most crystals by the end of the round). It had a camera for each player, and took your picture to go along with your high score. I can never remember the name of it.

I used to play an arcade game in the early 90s. It was a Neo-Geo/Sega-era platformer, multiplayer (I think) and had several human characters that were part of some sort of "team." It was a futuristic game similar to Super Contra and Metal Slug, but much more colorful and less "dark." The one thing I remember about the game was that it had a soundtrack that was either licensed, or a very close ripoff of several Van Halen songs, especially "Jump." The one chunk of music I remember sounded exactly like this part of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlq0lYB3iSM&t=150s That's really all I can remember about the game. Damnit, I've wanted to find this game for years.

Google's giving me no joy with this one. It was somewhat like an RTS, 2D, controlling what I can describe best as dandelion seeds. You sent them from circle to circle, like dandelion centres or planets, and when you sent them into these circles more seeds would grow out. Each of these circles grew seeds with a differing mixture of the characteristics speed, attack strength, and health, represented by the shape of the seed (I think ones with more health were bigger, speedier ones had longer stems, and so on) as opposed to any numbers. It also had a kind of minimalistic soundtrack, and the background and planets were just differing shades of pinky-beige iirc. Have been looking through this thread for it with no success, it was posted in a thread in Games around late 2008, early 2009 about recommending free downloadable games and it was reasonably popular. Believe it was made in that general time period as well. Wootcannon fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Jun 1, 2012 |

Two for you: 1) I owned this game on PC probably somewhere around fifteen years ago. It was a side-scrolling fantasy game with a limited color palette (I remember a lot of things being shades of blue outside of a few things in various colors). The sprites in the action sequences were (as I recall) all solid black. You fought with a sword and were constantly fighting things in the action sequences. You also had to pick things up to make magic elements, which you could then use to power spells. The object of the game was to trade stuff (mana or artifacts) to wizards in their towers for other artifacts which did something or another. You could also fast-travel from your tower to any tower you'd been to (I think) on a dragon, which had its own side-scrolling action sequence. I could swear this had been found in a previous thread like years ago, but I don't have archives. 2) There was an edutainment series on the Apple II computer line that came in clamshell cases. I keep wanting to say it was like the Microzine line, but I'm not sure. All I remember is that one of the disks had a game on it where you were taught basic set theory (union and intersection) by lassoing cacti, and one of the disks (maybe the same one) had a typing game on it where every word you typed correctly lowered a pylon that allowed a robot to continue to the end of the screen (duckfarts' quest for the typing game reminded me of this). If you were too slow, the robot would crash. I think the same line of disks had a Choose Your Own Adventure-style "game" (something like the Microzine Twistaplot thing) on some of them, and the one I remember involved being President and you could do all kinds of weird things like playing water polo with talking dolphins and using a hula hoop as a helicopter.

This is an old one, and based off a very bleary grade school memory. An ibm/pc game featuring cats. You played as a cat and wandered around a neighborhood, on rooftops and into buildings. Similar to Adventure for Atari 2600 (with no vertical scrolling between screens). It was loaded on my school's computers circa 1988, no idea how old it was then (Though considering it was the Florida public school system I'll bet it was not cutting edge technology)
