Looked like it was in a dream but with creepy text and there would be this white face that would show up at different parts. I can't even remember if it was an RPG or not, I remember there was a lot of speculation about it though.

Trying to remember the name of some odd, humorous...RTS I think? The idea was that you designed tanks by slapping parts on top of each other like a stack of pancakes. I think sheep were some sort of resource? It made very little sense IIRC.

Nah it wasn't e-swat, it was kind of a hybrid fantasy future setting. I think the player character had a laser gun but I am not 100% certain. I was all of 7 or 8 when I played the game. I wish I could go into more detail, but it's all fuzzy in my head. The main thing I remember is it had the best graphics I had seen up to that point. And I used to spend hours just watching people play it when I didn't have quarters of my own. Kilazar fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Jul 16, 2013 |

What triggers the familiarity the most is when he gets the sword that does the "wave" shot, and then the tripple gem at the boss room that randomly drops a power up. Thanks!

I'm looking for a SA thread about a game, actually. It was some multiplayer space-sim sort of game, that basically devolved into who could ruin the game the fastest. The thread described a few plays of the game, and included some stories of a player creating horrible monstrosities out of the other players as a doctor character. This is pretty vague I realize, but the thread was good for a few laughs and I wanted to re-read some of the stories.

Trying to remember an old adventure game I think I found on the underdogs few years ago, but cannot find it. It was mostly text based, but with a proper windows interface. I think the cases were randomly generated and your detective had a few stats you could put points into (like picking locks). The setting was something oldschool, Sherlock Holmesey or similar.

This is a long shot, but my Google skills are failing me. I'm looking for a really old, simple text-based game I played on the Apple II as a kid in the 1980s. You were an explorer on Mars or something and trying to find treasure, with aliens of various levels of hostility running around. One of them who was the least hostile would say "Gibble!" when it met you and "Gib-bleck" when you killed it. I'm almost sure this wasn't a commercially-produced game, but one of those games that had its program listed in BASIC in a book and you were supposed to type it in and play it. In fact it might have been in a book on how to program aimed at kids. But I'm not turning up anything about the book or the game, anywhere. I'm pretty sure the book would have been published before 1987-1988ish though.

The more I think about it, the more I'm pretty sure it wasn't a game published by a company but just something you had to type in by hand. Also the game had a really crude overhead map in the vein of the old Star Trek mainframe game.

Ok so I'm trying to figure out the name of a military game I played on the Sega Genesis (I'm pretty sure it was Sega). The only thing I remember is the vehicle selection screen that I drew out from memory. The types of vehicles you can select were like HMMWVs, APCs, tanks, and helicopters. So what's going on in the picture, you're at your base and you can select which vehicle you want from an underground warehouse. Once you made your selection it'll pull the vehicle out and lift it to the surface, then you take control and continue the mission.

Return Fire. The most asked game, people. You even remembered the four vehicles. The flag-robbing jeep, the MLRS launcher, the tank and the chopper.

There should be something in the OP along the lines of "The game you are thinking of is probably Return Fire." That should be the very first sentence.

A few years back I watched a Let's Play of a 2D, top down game on the PC (I think). The story was that you were chosen by some kind of energy beings to kill men who has gotten evil alien type guys inside them. I remember that you had to sneak into a TV studio to kill a person by dropping a spotlight on them from the rafters, and the last boss was killed by luring him onto the path of a train.

Perspective was sideways, but it was tile-based, movement was confined to said tiles. Not really a platformer, more like a puzzle game, but there were enemies too. You were... Something, and tried to reach the exit. There were some tiles which were blue and you could eat them, but if you ate one directly below something explosive, the explosive crashed on to you and well exploded. You could also form stairs with the blue ones and roll explosives to destinations. On the PC. I really can't describe it any better. I'll try to paint a picture if possible. Also, this one is probably easier: XBox (original) game, kart racer, you had the usual weapons, as well as a baseball bat you could use at any time. Also taunts and stunts IIRC.

And the kart game isn't Cel Damage. A quick google pins it as Furious Karting, and it's as good as I remembered it (pretty mediocre), according to the review I hit.

OK. someone e-mailed me about a game in which you're the captain of an interstellar colony ship travelling at sublight speeds and your job is to manage it. Problem is I literally get 1000 e-mails a day and can't find the message, google hasn't helped me either. So does anyone have any ideas?

Trying to remember an old RPG. It was early Final Fantasy era, most likely. What I can remember is that you picked a starting character from a selection of eight, and whoever you didn't pick became NPCs in the game. The quest involved collecting seven (?) artifacts or stones or something. I think you could recruit them to your party too, but not 100% sure on that. The twist was they were also trying to collect the artifacts, and could in theory get them before you / become too powerful to beat if they found a stone. I'm pretty sure the classes were standard Human, Elf, Dwarf etc, but also Monster and Robot? That last part might be conflated with another game though. I'm also 100% sure there's a Let's Play of it, but without knowing the name I'm pretty stumped. Thanks! e: vvvvv the very bunny.
