I played a game on the PSX and I can't remember the name at all. You played as this guy with a bamboo stick and you had to defeat someone called the nightmare king(?). It was a top down game and your health looked like peaches. Does anyone have any idea of what this game might be called?

Googling "Nightmare King video game villain" pulls this up, which looks to be what you're looking for:

Wow. I'm clearly very bad at using search engines since I just searched everything I'd described here and it came up every time. Yeah, this was the game I was looking for. Thanks!

I vaguely recall some action game that was talked about in the last few months where the main character was transgendered or something but due to a poorly worded article title MRAs thought it was anti-feminist. No idea if the game was good or not, but anyone know what I mean? :v:


also I just noticed there was 2 threads like this

The only one that maybe comes to mind is Nier, but that wasn't the main character. Is it a game that hasn't come out yet?

Dunno about the MRA part, but was it 2D? If so it could be Aerannis.

So I know the name of the game, that's not the issue, I just can't find any trace of it on the internet that it ever existed. It was called Cyclone (or maybe some spelling variant of that?) and was a colored-block puzzle game and I just can't find any sign of it anywhere. :(

Long shot, but 0-D Beat Drop is a colored block puzzle game developed by a company named Cyclone Zero

It was an animu turn based tactica game that was either for the DS or the PSP and the main character had a golden ring that would turn into a scythe.

So I've been trying to figure out what this game is for a good bit of time. I've never actually played it but I remember reading the box and looking at a bunch of screen shots and stuff.

It was a rts game released around the same time as system shock 2. You trained your units by putting them through several structures. So train a basic archer, then send it to another building to get like a more advanced archer of some sort. I want to say there were several factions maybe? With almost a bit of eastern influence. It's been so long that's the best I can remember.

the game "always sometimes monsters," available on the steam platform, uses character sprites that i believe are a free & open resource. the authors of this not-free-game seem to be huge shitlords using sprites made by someone else and selling them, essentially, but that is not really relevant i think.

the sprites for the characters look like the exact same as used in , many years ago, a free procedurally-generated action rpg zombie survival video game. what is the game. features of the game: you could kill zombies. there were human npcs around surviving, which would be hostile or neutral (shop owners). you could rob shops wearing a ski mask and you could tie people to chairs with a rope and battery and zap them to make them give you free stuff. it was good and fun. what is the game.

I don't know what the game is but open source means just that. Unless the sprite's creator had a non-commercial license then anyone can do whatever they want with them.

Now you know how I don't like to use the sit-down gun, but this morning we just don't have time for mucking about.

I thought it just used the default assets from RPG Maker version whichever. It's minimal effort possible to make a game, basically.

al-azad
May 28, 2009



None of those are default assets and nothing I can find reveals they're anything but original graphics. At most they're based on a template which is common in the RPG maker community, not like it matters at all. It's not like $60 video games don't use free sound or texture libraries, there's a reason that stuff is created.

As for procedural 2D zombie games the only one as detailed and robust as that description is Survival Crisis Z.

Okay, this is going to be a tough one as I can't remember much. I spent a while looking at a database of baseball video games and Googling gameplay videos, with no luck.

The game I am thinking of is a baseball game, late 90s to early 2000s I want to say, and I believe that it was on the original Playstation. The problem is that I can't remember the gameplay very well, but I remember that pitchers were rated in an odd way. What would happen is that there were various bars, broken into little segments, and to show how much break/how effective a certain pitch was, the more shiny, filled segments the better. For example, on the stat screen for a curveball, which breaks down and away from a right-handed pitcher, you would have a bar going down and to the right with a certain number of segments full depending on how much break the pitcher had. I also want to say that other player attributes were rated on a letter grade (A, B, C etc) system, and for pitchers it would tell you how fast his fastball was (93 mph, for example).

It's a similar ranking/rating system to the Power Pro games on Wii/DS from 2007/2008, but it's not one of those games. I have a couple of those and that's what jogged my memory. I know that I don't have much to go on, but perhaps someone remembers.

I can't remember what it was but years ago I saw a movie and realized that the Brood Wars Terran structure liftoff sound was the same as the Doom door sound.

Pretty much every doom sound is a mundane stock sound. Mostly animals for the monsters.

Finding this video in the griefing thread left me curious what game these people were actually playing. The only clues I can think of are that it's a PC game (obviously) that somehow involves repair trucks. I have no idea what games involve repair trucks other than Command and Conquer? But there's no way people in 2007, when this was presumably filmed, were playing Command and Conquer this intensely, and with 4 or more players to a side, so I'm curious if the answer jumps out at anyone. Also it's a funny video worth watching, so

Edit: There's also mention of a "platoon of infantry" and an "Armour channel" (presumably in Ventrilo), so it sounds like a WWII game, but I can't think of any that have repair trucks or units grouped into platoons. Oh and there's a zoom in button.

Blizzard uses stock Hollywood sound effects. (Or used to anyways) You hear them all over the place.

The academy firebat scream noise is one of the famous screams, not the Wilhelm but a different one. It pops up often, I remember it was in the AAAAH Real Monsters cartoon opening.
The sound the pig farm in warcraft 2 makes when you click on it (pig squealing) is the most popular pig sample in film, you hear it every single time there's a pig on-screen in anything Hollywood.

Somewhat unrelated but along the same lines, Dark Souls 1 uses some stock sounds for its cat monsters that were also used in Duke 3D.

Doom and Metal Slug have the same rocket explosion. Movies and games do this all the time throughout their entire existence, yet when STALKER first came out people thought it "plagiarized" sound effects and explosion/fire assets out of nowhere. Really weird when this si so common and done by licensing sound libraries, stock sounds, etc.

A really fun one is that some convenience store... 7-11 maybe? Licensed the same sound stock that Sega used for the Sonic ring collection sound, as their cashier ring-up noise. Always throws me off.

Yeah it is 7-11. I did a double take the first time I heard it. I almost asked the cashier about it but I'm sure they didn't care about some dumb game reference and just wanted me out of there.

There was some game on pc that recently was released. It might be early access. But it was a multiplayer game where one player was the monster and the others had to survive or something by hiding. Im thinking it came out either in 2013 or 2014.
