I'm almost positive I still have my original big box copy (because no one's bought it). For a similar gamestyle, see Knight's Chase (or the Alone in the Dark trilogy but those actually rule).

There was a game I watched my dad play when I was a lot younger. It was a JRPG, or at least a JRPG-styled game, for the PSX. I think it was 2D, but I can't remember. All I really can remember is that there were three characters: two dudes and a chick. The girl starts out wearing a white robe or gown, I think, and then changes into something else at some point. Anyone have any idea what it could be.

Oh poo poo, I think it is. I don't remember the battles being in 3D, but everything else looks familiar. I need to try to dig up my copy and play it some time.

A long time ago, maybe 5 or 6 years ago? I really can't remember. There was a thread for indie games. In this thread I found a side-scroller that I remember looking similar to Out of This World. Game play (if I'm remembering this right) was asfw for left right and up down (you could fly.) You used your mouse to aim/shoot. Anyone know what game this is?

It was more, I guess pixelie (less like Flashback, more like OoTW) and one of the main mechanics of the game was using your mouse to aim/shoot at enemies. I'm fairly certain you started with a jetpack or something that allowed flight.

Forgedbow posted:This is sounding more like Abuse to me, although you don't start with a jetpack. it was a lot like Abuse, but more pixelie, again a lot like the style of Out of this World. Low detail and very dark. Lots of Black/Grey/Reds in the atmosphere of the game. Not Iji but closer to the graphical detail but not style of the game (if that makes sense) I'm still googling stuff. If I end up figuring it out on my own I'll post it, but keep the suggestions coming.

My game was a game for either the amiga or the atari or some other computer that was not PC. It was not really a console at any rate. It took floppies which were formatted differently than the PC. To put a very very conservative bound on this: Nothing past 2000 or so. The game had you be a giant robot, walk (i think) left and kill the hell out of tiny humans on your way. I may be wrong on this, but I don't remember it having much color, almost all was black and white. Yeah, not much to go on, but thanks for trying!

This was a 90's flight sim. The only thing I remember was a mission involving defending the Queen of England's 747 from IRA jet fighters.

Here's another low-information request: - It was a NES (possibly SNES) game - The gameplay involved sidescrolling fighting, I think it was medieval or ninja themed - It had an overworld map - One of the last levels on the (first) overworld map was a castle - There were alternate routes through the overworld map - One of these alternate routes was a bridge or river crossing, with some hard to beat miniboss - The game used a password system to save progress. One of the passwords was something like QQQQQQQQ or ZZZZZZZZ, I remember my friend discovering it when he was really annoyed at the game and typing gibberish at the password prompt. Besides all that, I have no idea what the game was actually about, or why I feel this need to play it today. Nostalgia can be weird sometimes.

Here's a tough one for the thread. A really drat old flash game, one of the bike ones with the physics and the things. One of the first levels was totally green, and the very last was a super difficult black-gray looking futuristic map. Not much to go on, and there were tons of these games but it is pretty good.

I'm trying to remember this older PC space sim, where you controlled a single ship and explored a procedurally generated universe. There was no fighting, no trading, it was all exploration. You could walk around the ship, control it to land on planets, and I think you may have been able to exit the ship and walk around the planets. It was incredibly low resolution, and the controls were almost Battlecruiser-level complicated. It's name may have started with an N, but barring that it had pretty unique name. e: maybe barking up the wrong tree, but I think the name started with "Nae-", or had "ae" somewhere in there Kolodny fucked around with this message at 05:32 on Oct 21, 2013 |

Flash game from a few years ago. It was from a 'cool little games that let you chill out' type thread. Black and white 2D game where you start of as this fat guy in a white shirt and black pants but you shoot up into the air and gradually float down, jumping off things like clouds, birds etc. It was pretty chill. e: It was today's google logo that reminded me of it. ee: Fly Guy http://www.trevorvanmeter.com/flyguy/ V for Vegas fucked around with this message at 09:39 on Oct 22, 2013 |

Two games! The first is an old one from the AOL days. I may have downloaded it from an AOL games server or something. It was a tank game; there were red and blue tanks of (I think) various sizes. The camera was top down over a battlefield with objects scattered around. You could shoot your main gun but also (I think) lay mines. Explosions would leave potholes in the terrain. I can't remember if it was multiplayer. I don't expect anyone to remember this one. The second was a game that came pre-packaged with a computer. It was a 3D game where you controlled a turret. Aliens were attacking and you had to blow them up before they destroyed critical objectives. There were separate missions, and those missions might have put you in new locations with new turret abilities (e.g., missiles, quad-mount gun, etc). About halfway through the game you protected a NASA launchpad that was sending space shuttles into space to fight the aliens. This game probably came out around the Half Life/Rainbow 6 era.

That's probably Incoming, it often came bundled with early 3D accelerator cards.

Here's an odd one: I remember a game almost exactly like Jill of the Jungle by Epic for DOS, it was another DOS game, a platformer kinda in the prince of persia style, really simple DOS graphics, set in some kind of a ruins or a jungle. But I'm pretty sure its not actually Jill of the Jungle. Know of other games in the same style? I googled and found a couple, but its not them. I feel like the graphics were just a tiny bit better, but maybe its just nostalgia. Its not Vinyl Goddess from Mars... Maybe it was just Jill of the Jungle.

There was a mildly entertaining flash game, probably on Newgrounds. I remember the art scheme was very blue. I think the object was to defend a money tree. I believe you kept some of your progress like your income every time you died, but everything else reset to zero. The goal was just to survive for an arbitrary amount of time with no obvious endpoint. e: It was an action game, the main character had a gun. The screen didn't scroll you could move, but you were stuck on one screen for defending.
