SevenSocks posted:The second one I have low hopes for, but I'm pretty sure it was an early 2000's partial FMV exploration horror game, the kind of FMV where pictures or stills of real people are transposed on the world for the characters, or something similar. I only picked up the box, but the front cover was some old dilapidated barn, and on the back there were screens of the area around it and some old west town. I want to say the implication was some plot about limited time travel to certain places, and the whole aesthetic was washed out. Tagline was something along "There's something more beyond the barnyard." In the event that you are misremembering the hell out of the graphics it sounds a lot like Nocturne. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocturne_(video_game)

Trying to remember the name of a point & click adventure that had an LP... sometime last year, maybe? 1. It took place on an abandoned space station, or similar setting. 2. The main character was female, and maybe looked like Jade from Beyond Good & Evil? 3. There was a timed sequence where you had to escape from what I think was an electric chair. 4. There was a room with a traffic light you had to pass through multiple times, and was different depending upon what color the light was. I think something creepy happened (and possibly killed you) when the light was red, but I don't remember what that was.

This was it—thanks. Man, that LP wasn't even a year ago, and I somehow remembered this game looking waaay different, and a lot better.

That is one of the two games that kept turning up when I searched "Adventure/Horror games from the 90's" with the other being Deadfall or something. It wasn't either, and I'm thinking it was more a mystery or exploration game that just looked creepy, but given that I can't even verify the game exists beyond my half baked memory, I'm going to rule nocturne as it. It looks pretty badass anyways.

I played a shooting game at an arcade once maybe about 10 years ago. I don't know if you could choose which stage to pick or not, but the first stage took place in a shipping dock. A cop/sailor/man in uniform popped out of an oil drum just to say "Don't shoot me" but I did and lost. That's the only reason I remember the game, because that's when I it occurred to me how unfair arcade games were, charging a dollar and making you lose within 30 seconds. Probably too vague a description, but people in this thread have known games with less.

Trying to remember the name of a strategy game. Would have come out something like 8-10 years ago I think? Definitely older than 6 years. It took place in roman time and one of the defining features is that you had navel combat by a city and you could use cranes from the city to pick up and destroy boats.

Lower weight limits than modern cranes of course, but for the basic operation of "lift heavy object from point A and move it to point B" (mostly for loading/unloading ships) it'd still come in handy. Cranes as weapons of war, though...you'd have to be an exceptionally poor pilot for dock cranes to become a threat.

There's a game that's been on my mind for a few days now. It was a Japanese game from the early 2000, I don't know if it was released in the UK but I think it was since the developers were interviewed on a British video game show. I'm guessing it was survival horror because the cut scenes had monsters in it. It's main selling point was its gimmick that the player was a camera man and had to get good ratings, so you had a choice to step in and save people or sit back and watch the gore. Any ideas?

Whenever you find out what this is, it sounds boss as hell and reminds me that I would love a game that just centered around Archimedes being a mad scientist rear end in a top hat in the Classical Era with death rays and ship-wrecker cranes. For folks who doubt measure-volume-by-displacement man could devise such weapons, behold his calculus. 2 millenia-ish before Newton or Liebniz are sparkles in their fathers' eyes.

Trying to remember the name of a game that's in development right now. I think it's a management/simulation type game. You're responsible for running a haunted house (?) filled with monsters, and various adventury types will turn up at the house and cause problems. I believe I saw it on RPS a few months ago but I'm having no luck searching for this, all the search terms are too generic. Does anyone know what game I'm talking about?

SevenSocks posted:The specific one was a diving game that was on a couple of terminals in the water sciences section of CoSci in Toledo Ohio(Which is now imagination station apparently) and they didn't have it the last time I was there. It would have been there around the late 90's early 2000's. It was an environmentally centered game where you played some kind of diver, and you were inside a lake or something similar. I'm really hoping there's someone out there that can answer this, because I know exactly what you're talking about and posted in another Help Me Remember thread on this forum a while back, and no one was able to help. I will say that I'm happy to know that someone else in the universe remembers That Weird Underwater Game At Cosi besides me, so at least I know it's not something my brain made up. EDIT: There's some verrrry brief, low-quality footage of the game at the 3:15 mark in this video. The guy behind the camera calls it "Duke Nukem".

This is gonna be a long shot because I really don't remember much about the game. It would have been around 91, I think. Sort of a side scrolling platformer/beat-em-up, and from what I remember the gimmick was that you were kind of a scrawny kid but had the ability to tansform into this beefy dude who I think had a lion's head or was wearing a lion skin or something. The transform was tied to a meter that would tick down. And I want to say everything had a kind of greco-roman theme to it but honestly have no clue. I'm absolutely sure it wasn't altered beast. That's about all I'm sure of, because I was at my baby sitters house with a pretty high fever and the game/system belonged to her grandkids who were visiting, so I never saw it again.

That's not entirely true. There were siege triremes that were sailed right up to city walls with siege towers on them so the response was to build big loving cranes that would dip down and flip the things over. I think that was more ancient Greece than ancient Rome but they did in fact exist. But yeah cranes have been around forever. You can make cranes with nothing but a bunch of dudes, some ropes, and some pulleys.

Ages ago I played a freeware game. It was 2d top-down, and a space combat game. You plan the move that your space ships will make (including firing), and then you hit "go" and the move plays out at the same time as the opponent's moves. It plays for about 3 - 5 seconds, then the next planning bit happens, and so on. What would you call this, simultaneous-turn-based? I remember there being different types of space ship, and the plan-then-action setup of the game stood out to me, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called! Any ideas?
