Zaodai posted:The older SNES Final Fantasies had something similar too, where a spell could only be reflected by Wall once and thus you could bounce a spell off your own party and hit a boss who had a Wall of their own up. FF2/4 had it for sure. This sounds like it might be right. If not that one, then an old final fantasy. Thanks, guys!

sega genesis game. You're on a grid, on a motorcycle of some sort. The camera is always positioned directly behind the player's motorbike as he traverses. I want to say there may have been orbs or something like that to collect. I know it isn't much to go by but maybe someone recalls it?

Trying to remember a game that was basically Total War: Rome except it came out long before Shogun, Rome and Medieval. The campaign map was around the Mediterranean coast, fighting barbarians and other Roman factions. Right now all I can find are TW and Caesar III etc.

Here's a strange one. I remember a old VGA era PC RPG, pretty sure it was isometric and you had a party of 4 people. The thing that stands out in my mind is that at the start you could assign elements (fire water etc) to them and certain combinations would give you different classes. Like you give fire and wind to a guy he becomes a ninja, etc.

I'm trying to remember two arcade games from the end of the 80's/start of the 90's. One you were playing a boat (only a boat, so it's not Spy Hunter), and you were transporting cargo. A gimmick was if you died, your rival would swoop in and grab the cargo and you had to blow him up to get it back (and you could miss it and hence end the stage without it). The first cargo you were transporting was a deadly virus, and the second was the Crown Jewels IIRC. The second was a 2 1/2 D arcade game where you were going through some future building, your main weapon was a laser and bombs (which were recommended by the game to be used on bosses). I mainly remember it because it had a Loony Toons bit if you walked off an edge where the player character would walk on thin air, realize there was no ground, and then turn around and grab for the edge as he fell.

I recently thought of an old DOS game I got from a shareware catalogue back in the day. It had ASCII graphics a bit like Hack, but in colour. You explored a dungeon, and instead of being one continuous adventure, you could leave at any time to buy things with any gold you found, a bit like the old D&D game. From what I remember of the mechanics, there were some gimmicky things like how some rooms had water on the floor, you would track mud around as you moved and moss could grow, which I think you could then set on fire. I seem to recall light sources played a significant part; the dungeon entrance guy would give you a free torch if you didn't have one like at the start of the game, and most rooms had a big torch in the centre you sometimes had to light manually. You opened chests and picked up gold by hitting them with your sword, which extended into the square in front of you when you swung.

There was a super old DOS game where all the colors were cyan and magenta and it was kind of a turn-based strategy thing where you had a world/area all split up into territories and some territories had resources to claim and you could move horses from one territory to another That's all I remember and I hope someone recognizes it from this There was also a game I think for DOS also that was in full-color and also a big turn-based strategy thing; it had a wizard at the top of the screen who would do animations for a lot of things and also you could send heroes on quests or something like that An Actual Princess fucked around with this message at 02:05 on Nov 19, 2015 |

Trying to remember a game (I forget the genre) where at some point in the plot you have a flashback to when you were a kid on the farm. I think you were a boy. Anyway you're on the farm with your racist father and somewhat decent mother, and a drifter man visits the farm looking for some work. The father tries to chase him off but the mother says give him work, and he does the work but the father doesn't pay him afterwards. The drifter man teaches the kid about signs you find on posts to indicate what kind of home a place is for other drifters, and he scrawls the sign for like danger. You end up using these signs later in the game for like some dumb puzzle or something? I figure it must be one of those Quantic games but IDK

packetmantis posted:This sounds like it might possibly be Deadly Rooms of Death? Sadly not. Mine was definitely text-mode 80x25 visuals, and had no sound except slight ticking noises from the PC speaker. I'd be surprised if anyone else had heard of it, to be honest. I should still have it somewhere but it could take months to find without a name, and that's only if the old floppy disks still work after 20-odd years.

I'm trying to think of a shmup, for PC, sometime in the 90s or early 00s at the very latest. It was a vertical scroller, with lots of ship customization, branching mission paths, and a ton of hidden levels and Easter eggs.

There is one game that's been driving me nuts that I can't find til this day, because I only played it for about a day or so until they took it away at my local arcade back in the 80's. Here is what I can remember. - It was mostly 1 vs 1 fighting. - You could move up/down on the Y-axis. - There were sometimes multiple enemies, but not like Final Fight quantity. - This makes searching between "fighting game", "brawler", or "beat em up" really difficult to pin down. Things I KIND OF remember. - The setting was Colosseum-like. Greek/Roman Gods type of stuff. - You could choose other characters. Why I want to find this game so bad. When the game was removed from arcade, I was left with very little impressions, except for this humanoid bird-type of character. I drew him all the time. I even put him on the clear, front insert of my folder. I think me drawing him so much was my way to remember and preserve what little memory I had left of the game. Here's what I remember about him. - His main features like wings, mohawk, and claw feet were purple. - His secondary color was gray. - He wore wrestling-shaped champion belt. - There might have been an initial on it or not, can't remember. - The belt was gold plated, like Zangief's. Possibly his arm bracers too. - There were super moves, this guy would carry you up in the air and meteor slam you back to the ground. Here's a drawing for reference, and I drew him with his arms crossed all the time because I believe that's how he walked around the arena. Like with a snobby, elite fighter attitude.

Trying to remember a pseudo 3D space game that was in the works, I think they released a demo or tech demo or something in the past year. It had a long-ish name, it's reminiscent of the original Wing Commander where it's pretty much all sprites.
