I swear I've seen the exact pose from that poster on the right on a title screen or cover art or something (the other one looks familiar to). Any ideas? e: As in, they traced it from something.

An old survival game from the 90's and it was in first person I think and you had to craft your own arrowheads out of flint by chipping away at them and they were PIECES OF poo poo THAT ALWAYS BROKE.

I'm not sure if we're thinking of the same game, but I've been looking for a similar one for ages. I think you were a caveman. There was a definite element of carving things like spears and arrow heads (specifically, you had to click the shape) out of pieces of poo poo that always broke. You also had to go through a shitload of ointment. I think there was 2D combat. It was also something I played in the 90s. Sound familiar or are we thinking of completely different things? I can't remember anything else about the game which is why I haven't asked about it before. Sorry to kinda jump on your post if it's different.

I think this was a PC only game, late 80s or early 90s, first person sort of view, point-n-click adventure/puzzle with a similar style as Myst but this was more of a futuristic look. I recall starting in an apartment and the name Dragon or Dagon or some such?

I think there was a 16bit-era game where you upgraded an RC car, and it was similar to rock and roll racing. I don't know if it was Megadrive or SNES. I think the best electric engine was 'Gold' or gold colored. I played it in a timeshare resort in Mildura, Australia in the 90s. Any ideas?

An old Mac game from way back when. You were in command of a human ship that came back to find Earth enslaved and had to go out and get allies to free Earth. I seem to remember it being top-down.

Yeah, that's definitely Star Control 2. There was an enhanced 3DO version with better music and full voice acting, among other things. That version is now freeware and is available for most modern OSes. http://sc2.sourceforge.net/downloads.php

It actually isn't Star Control II, though I can definitely see how my description was basically that  I remember the game being more mission-based, like "That planet is being defended by two enemy battleships. One of our allied races has sent seven corvettes to help us free it. Lead them in!" and then you switch your control between the ships in the fleet and give orders while everything goes in real-time. This was back in the mid 90s, so my memory is somewhat rusty. I seem to remember the human ship being this tiny teal thing with stubby wings.

How about the Escape Velocity series, which were originally Mac based? Top down space games, open world but it had missions that were kinda like that.

No, but you saying that made something click in my mind. The game I was thinking of was Ares, by the same company that made the Escape Velocity games (which I loved as a kid). So, thanks! Mission accomplished!

Sadly no. I've searched the internet before and can't find anything that matches my memories. Maybe I just imagined it. It really seemed like there was a 'gold electric engine' to upgrade to, and they were cars. It could have been a real arcade cabinet, but I remember that the rec room at this resort were all consoles inside arcade cabinets, and the controls were wired to arcade controls.

Some kind of Amiga-era two-player scifi shooter or something, one of the characters in a kind of flying back action shot. It's kind of a standard war bros got each others backs pose, but that's just ringing a bell for some reason baka kaba fucked around with this message at 02:37 on Aug 13, 2014 |

You can upgrade your engine in Super Offroad Racing and the cars are small like RC cars which is how I always thought of them.

RPG game, still in development (or at least it was in the last year), Baldur's Gate looking graphics, a few different classes (five I think) you could start as; soldier, thief, merchant, noble, poo poo along those lines. Each one has a different starting story and different quests they can do, all revealing different parts of story and whatnot. When I played it was just the one town and a few periphery locations (bandit camp, a mine, that's about it). I remember there's a quest to kill a competing shaman or wise man or whatever they called themselves (they like identify old things left behind by a great civilization that collapsed hundreds of years ago). I cornered him and told him to gently caress off and get out of town. He thanked me, then ratted me out. Later he came back to reveal the artifact I was trying to sell to the duke was a fake (should have just killed him!). The thief or pickpocket plot line involved trying to steal a shipment of gold from the local merchants. Moridin920 fucked around with this message at 20:36 on Aug 19, 2014 |

There were like 10,000 rip offs of that theme at the time though. On a scale of 1 to lovely how lovely was it? It's really the only way to identify the title. My best guess is tank wars though, since you said the tank was a triangle. Tank wars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Enb31wlwk6Q Sorched earth:

I'm trying to remember the name of a source mod from some time between 2007 and 2010. I only played about an hour of it but I'm fairly certain it was a fully fleshed out single player mod. The protagonist was a guy with some kind of mental disorder and it began with you waking up in your house, answering the phone and then walking to work. I think you might have been called Alexander or something similar? I know this is all very vague, but for the time it was pretty good looking for the source engine and my lovely old computer couldn't run it properly. I may be mixing it up with another mod I played at the same time but there was a bit where you walk into a room and hallucinate that the floor is falling away beneath you in chunks and you have to get to the other side without falling to your death.

I just played a board game at my local gaming group and, like the schmuck I am, forgot to note the title of the game before leaving. It's a Euro-style "build an economy, then use that economy to buy points" game; players play as the Japanese, Egyptians, Romans, and "Barbarians" (pretty clearly Mongols). Each player has a personal deck of civ-appropriate buildings, and there's a communal deck of cards too; then there's resources (wood, stone, food, gold, swords, shields) for building cards, destroying cards, protecting cards from being destroyed, etc.

Okay I have two from the way-back machine. One is definitely Atari era, it might've even been an early D&D title except I don't think there were video games in that IP yet. It was dungeon crawl-y if I remember correctly, and there were a ton of class selections. I remember specifically "Friar" being one of them which I always found hilarious as a kid, I don't know why. I also remember it being advertised in the back of comic books. That's all I got, sorry. Another is the C64 era, it was top-down, and it was RPG-ish as in you had an inventory, had to deal with keys and locked doors and fighting bad guys. You controlled a team of like, I dunno, future cyber mercenaries. You had a couple fighty guys and a couple floaty robot sphere guys and the very start of the game was trying to infiltrate this ship except I was always really bad at it and got my guys killed. You could control your guys individually which was important because some of the door and key puzzles required having one guy go do something and bring it back to the others. This was in color, and the word "Enigma" was in either the title, or possibly a character name.
