al-azad posted:One is a third-person multiplayer action game inspired by Running Man/SMASH TV. The advertised novelty is that a handful of contestants are picked from a pool and given one chance to run through the challenges while the spectators influence the battlefield like The Hunger Games. Now that PAX is coming up this game resurfaced! It's called Upsilon Circuit. People are randomly selected to play and once they die that's it, you're forever locked out from being chosen again. The audience can spend real world money to help or hinder you. The devs described this as "monetizing trolling" and it sounds both awful and hilarious.

A game show you could potentially participate in yourself through your home game console would be pretty rad.

Trying to remember the sort of game that would've been on shareware CDs and such. It was a text adventure game RPG where the ultimate goal was to defeat some sort of evil king. I think it was a BASIC application but I'm not 100% on that. You can level up and such, and I remember fighting gulls while traversing the ocean.

I have some distant memories of an ARPG for PS2. It was fantasy of course and had local co-op but I don't remember the name.

It definitely wasn't gauntlet and it wasn't baldur's gate either. I remember some strange specific things about it, like it had a radial thing you would assign your skills to, the levels seemed to be part randomly-generated and part hand-created, and in one sort of tropical island environment your character would constantly repeat this dumb line about finding an excuse to vacation there. While I'm here, I have this one memory out of nowhere of a gameplay video I saw years ago for some game on what I think was the PS3, and then never noticed again. I remember someone describing it as being like 3rd person battlefield. It looked singleplayer (at least what I saw was singleplayer) with a big open map, I think both vehicles and other human-sized enemies, and a kind of sci-fi theme if I remember right. I remember the player character wore glasses and I think he was black but I can't quite recall. I know this is basically nothing to go on, but I periodically have this image of a black glasses-wearing man shooting things in a big environment, and it bothers me to no end that I can't remember what it was from and never found out anything else about the game.

It was a platformer/adventure type game on the SNES. Pretty dark graphics, I remember one of the early bosses being a coven of witches that has some dialog before attacking, which might have been the final boss in the tutorial setting, as well. Something about entering a castle that lowers its drawgate, too. I'm fairly convinced it's not Bram Stoker's Dracula.

I'm trying to remember one, probably early 2000s era. It was a fly your spaceship around and make money / kill pirates / be a pirate type game except it was all in atmosphere instead of space. Definitely not freelancer which is the only other one of that era I can remember.

What other game does it remind you of the most?

None of those, I've checked out Nosferatu before. It was in a dark, medieval setting, much like Bram Stoker's Dracula. It wasn't as arcadey as Castlevania, having a more plodding speed to it. I just seem to recall it having a bunch of dialogue at the end of every stage, and all stages being linked together in a natural way. Forest -> Drawbridge -> Courtyard, that kind of thing. About the witches - There were three, and they swirled around in a pattern, with lots of mist obscuring things. E: And that boss in Run Saber just comes out of nowhere, doesn't it?

I've just been through several lists of games for the system, and none of them fits. It must be something my mind has invented, eurgh. Thanks for the suggestions, people! E: Taking a final look at Bram Stoker's Dracula, the "trainer" difficulty DOES feature three women swirling around as the final boss, and I -did- find the menu screen familiar. It must've been that game! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIiXd9HOu-Q I guess I was easily scared at the ripe age of four.

So I'm thinking of a PS1 game, a 3D platformer-ish kind of game where you play as a kid and the concept was that [one of] your parents invented a time machine and then got abducted or trapped in time or otherwise vanished, and the levels were just various time settings, with the hub being the kid's house, just with a bunch of anachronistic stuff like dinosaurs in the playroom and whatnot.

There was an old MMO in the days of the big MMO rush, an RTS/FPSish MMO about mining on some distant asteroid or moon. You rode around on a hoverboard (I think?) and could order tanks, buildings, upgrades, gear et. al. from one of four corporations, once of which would be your sponsor. The main sort of gameplay was all about territory conflicts to mine more (special resource) and it went under pretty quickly because its balance was awful with no real goal except 'get more,' iirc, but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called. Google doesn't have anything on it, as it was too small and irrelevant, apparently. Anyone remember?

The game I'm thinking of was an old platformer where you could choose between 3 different robot characters that had their own unique models. I believe they could transform. Some of them could hook upwards. It was pretty dark. I'll try to remember other details if anyone can help.

The main goal of it was to troll the poo poo out of anyone weaker than you with absurd bullshit builds. I actually remember it lasting a reasonably long time, a few years perhaps. It was a confusing game full of weird edge cases and exploits. Fun if you got used to it though.
