Trying to remember a video game cover. It had two shirtless dudes on it, I think a man in a goat head, and U.S. Gold on the cover.

Eighties/nineties video game cover art was the best. How to improve this picture of two bare-chested men firing machine guns while Satan stands behind them looking smug? Add a chimp and a vaguely Stormtrooper-esque looking thing/guy, of course! Unless you're playing it on a C64/128, in which case it's suddenly some sort of…cyberpunk noir detective thriller? v  v

Stole this post from another thread like this somewhere because it explains what I'm trying to remember more succinctly than I can say.quote:Hi there ive been looking for this game i player possibly 8-10 years ago for PC. It consisted of a short fat kid with a slingshot who travels across the US he starts off in California in alcatraz prision where he fights off ghosts, then i forgot why but cali get blown up and becomes an island then this kid drives to other parts of the US.

Son of a bitch. I knew it had America in it but that just made me think it was educational and had something to do with national monuments. It's always such a relief to find out what something was. I almost asked this thread about a game that turned out to be Vangers until I saw it's on Steam the other day and was like holy poo poo that's it.

Good god, of course youtube man has to explain every obvious plot cue that anyone with a working brain would get from context. "You play as Joey! The monsters are literally monsters!

I remember reading a review of a mad first person shooter a while back, I'm sure it was Russian, open world, and there was a screenshot involving a pile of babies or something. Please tell me I'm not going totally mad!

Trying to remember the name of an old kids' educational game, probably Win 3.1 or at latest 95-era and came on a CD-ROM. You drove a truck around on a flat road plane with exit signs that you could turn off onto to play minigames like putting out fires and unloading hay at a farm or something. You would run out of fuel eventually so you had to turn off and gas up sometimes, and you had a home base you could return to which had additional minigames. I want to say it was called "Big Rig" with a yellow diamond shaped logo but that name just turns up an old DOS managerial game and Big Rig Racing. I remember playing the hell out of it as a kid.

This may have been an N64 or PSX game, I'm not sure which. I have vague memories of renting a game from the video store that was either a first- or third-person shooter, or had an element where you did that. Most of what I can remember is a stage or a level, which was a mid-sized island that had either some shallow ponds or tidal pools in the center, ruins along one coast, and light foliage along an opposite coast. I think you had an AI-controlled buddy you ran around with, or someone who gave you messages over a radio. It was definitely not any of the Army Men games, I know that for certain.

Original Playstation game, I want to say 2.5D, I remember it being sidescrolling with 3d people instead of sprites. It was in space I think and there were weapon upgrades similar to Contra but I don't think it was a Contra. I only really played it once but I've been wanting to play it again for years now.

Neo Rasa posted:This could be Wild 9 or One. It's not either of those. The game I'm thinking of was (from what I remember) left to right and One is bottom to top. I used to own Wild 9 back when it was new so I know that's also not it. I wish I remembered more about it, ooooh I do. It was 2 player same time coop (not vs) but you could also play by yourself. It wasn't my game it belonged to someone I lived with but the time I played it we played together because they had just gotten it. edit: Second thought it might not have been, it could have just been single player or old school Mario coop where you alternate whose playing when you die.

There's a game called Assault: Retribution which is almost identical to the crappy Playstation Contra games.

I remember an old game. DOS or maybe early windows era. feels like very early 90s. You bred dinosaurs. Dinosaurs with different properties were generated according to some stat system, and you viewed them top down in a VGA resolution with sort of smooth animations (like the body parts of the dinosaurs were animated separately by rotating, stretching, not sprite based) while they ran around in some arena and fought? Some were faster and some did more damage depending on the stats it had.

I have vague memories of a visual novel game by a Western indie developer, or maybe just one anime fan. It's at least six or seven years old. It had bad anime art and bad anime music. The main thing that sticks in my memory is either the game let you input commands via a text parser, or was entirely built around a text parser, and this aspect of the game was bizarrely, needlessly complex. I remember at one point in the game you're in someone's kitchen, and can actually use ingredients and appliances to cook food, though there was probably no game-relevant purpose to this. I don't remember what the story was, other than there was some rich girl character you could romance only if you figured out the insanely specific conditions for it. Either the protagonist had a motorcycle like the kind in Akira, or something about the setting was strongly reminiscent of Akira. I haven't ruled out the possibility that I dreamed all of this.

I have a question for the thread about a game that isn't even out yet. I stopped following development of this game a while back and subsequently forgot the name of it. It looked like a third person adventure where you play as a mouse with a sword and it had a dark, kind of medieval look. any ideas?
