Cheez posted:So it's been bugging me for a while but there was this game for DOS, or at least I'm assuming it was. You were trapped on a desert island and you had to continually make decisions to try and survive and escape. I don't remember it being very complex but I believe you could at least make an attempt to get food or signal for help in various ways. It might be Island. (This is the Commodore 64 version; there was also a DOS version, although it's much harder to find.)

Looking for a PC game, would've released in the mid to late 90s. It was a first person flight game with futuristic vehicles. I remember you could upgrade your guns and every once in a while you'd have to fly into a hole in the ground and go through a metallic tunnel. I also seem to remember there being some pretty big enemies to fight that maybe sort of looked like at-ats?

Or if it was late 80s it could be Starglider 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78PQ8tKTAiA It's got tunnels and 2-legged walker guys and SPACE WHALES. I'm pretty sure you could upgrade your guns, or upgrade something at least. Probably not it but I just liked being reminded of SPACE WHALES

THE BAR posted:It could be Fury3, but I don't remember you being able to upgrade your stuff in that one. Your main gun and rapid fire gun both got more projectiles per shot the more pickups you got without running out of ammo in Fury3, but it only lasted until you ran out of ammo and it reset.

Ages ago I played this dungeon crawling thing, possibly on the Mac. You were a prince-kinda dude with a sword and a bow and arrows, that was it. The main things I remember from it are that a) your HP dropped slowly all the time as you wandered around - every floor had a poison rating from 1 to 10, and higher ratings hurt you faster. Either you never healed or did it really rarely, you just kept going until you ran out of HP and died. b) there were nests that would spawn monsters at you until you went over and hit them. c) one of the most annoying things were these mirrors that would spawn doppelgangers of you any time they were in LoS. Hitting the doppelgangers hurt you a whole bunch, but the only real way to take out a mirror was to shoot magic arrows through the doppelgangers to blow it up. d) when you won you got to walk past a huge-rear end sign made of terrain that said CONGRATULATIONS in big letters (so I guess I beat it at some point). How do I remember this much about this game and not what it's called I can even hear the sound the doppelgangers made aggh megane fucked around with this message at 08:02 on Feb 13, 2014 |

The C64 version has the same choices, so it's only going to be a matter of tracking down the DOS version to be absolutely sure. I'm not terribly happy to see a one word game name, though. Search engines are bad with that.

Help me remember the name of a game. It's a platformer and it's on Steam. It's really brutally unfairly hard. I think you play as a green haired girl. It reminds me of those brutaly hard mario hacks and flash games where you go to jump over a pit and an invisible block appears and kills you. I think it runs at some weird resolution.

It's a zombie game on ps1 or 2. You pick a party of three and start out in a bar. Zombies storm the bar and you need to find the key get out of the back door. Don't really remember too much else. It's not an RPG everything is done real time, but I wouldn't really call it an action game.

There was a PS2 game I played a demo of years ago, it was a stealth-based action game where you played as a blonde woman whose husband had been killed by terrorists and she was out for revenge. What was this and is it worth playing now? I remember the demo was very unforgiving and you basically had to do everything perfectly or invincible death turrets would pop out and murder you.

There was an old edutainment game that was a sidescroller with a greek myth theme. Zues gave you math problems or something. There were bosses I think, and the last one was a flying red demon named Apathy. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Does this ring a bell for or anyone? Searching for a single obscure Japanese mech game among zillions of mech games hasn't led me to any answers, if you can believe that. gently caress, I found it. Only after I've given up and asked for help do I ever find anything on my own. Bangai-O Spirits. What a weird, weird, great game. Bummey fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Feb 13, 2014 |

The game was called Mathology. Pretty sure I still have a copy. EDIT: I'm positive I still have the manual at my grandparent's house (pretty sure it never came in a box because I remember the big manual and floppy just being plastic wrapped). If you continue the search, I know I got it through the elementary school book club catalog, so probably Scholastic? I'll see if I can find the floppy and try to preserve the thing by submitting to Abandonia or something. The Joe Man fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Feb 13, 2014 |

Thanks I was going to check to see if there were youtubes of or even just screenshots it for an idea I had, and for a bit of closure See, i never actually got to play the drat game. Parents bought it because they bought everything that had math in the titke but then wouldn't let me play it because it had a demon in it.

I had a post written here about a game I remembered that nobody else did called SIMSpace from back in the day, since there was no trace of it on the internet except for the shareware version I already had on some BBS archives, wondering if the full version even existed at all. But apparently at least the author remembers it, as last year he claimed to be working on a new version of it. Maybe my younger self's soul can finally be at peace after all!

ok I've got another one. A PSX game, it was a third-person action game where you controlled a spaceman with big hair (I think). You ran around firing ray guns at aliens or soldiers or something. I also remember the controls being really bad, but that may have just been me sucking at it.

Looking for the name of an NES game where you are a little rocket ship, and you have to bring parts of a bigger ship or a base or something back to your starting area. The game is all about balancing these heavy rear end parts that swing at the end of your rope, and trying to navigate them back to your base without crashing.

This one has been bugging me for a while now: It's a late 90s sci-fi strategy game, Windows or possibly very late DOS era, set on a single colonized planet. I think the plot is "oh no, aliens!" of some variety, I think there were just 2 sides, I'm not sure both where playable and it's overall not very memorable (hence, my problem). There's a strategic planetary map view where you decide what to build and where to go fight next and an isometric, grid based view for moving your tanks around in battles. I think both modes are turn based. The focus was very much on the combat. No, it's not Deadlock or its sequel. This is more tiny pixel tanks, less inter-species relations and catchy hidden music on the disc.

I've got one. There's a game that isn't out yet, but had a demo. It's an RPG where you're a kid who gets trapped in another world. There's this flower that makes the kid help it, or help something else, but then the flower tries to eat the kid. A cow lady saves the kid, and she tries to keep the kid safe, and teach the kid how to do puzzles. The kid finds out the cow lady is trying to keep him/her from going beyond some door, and the kid has to fight the lady or try to talk her out of fighting. Then the flower says something ominous and the demo ends. I know this thing exists, but I can't find it using any of the keywords I can think of.
