I've never heard of this game but apparently you can get it on the Internet Archive: Cosmology of Kyoto. I'm downloading it now, so I don't know what it takes to get it running.

Caufman posted:I have only seen screenshots of this obscure game. It's definitely a horror game, its imagery inspired by a nightmarish interpretation of the Japanese/Shinto hell. The interface reminded me of Encarta's Mind Maze, and the art was drawn instead of rendered. It could have come from the 90's. Hakkesshu posted:Cosmology of Kyoto? Hakkesshu posted:Yes, definitely, if you can find a copy and get it working. There's nothing else quite like it.

Someone linked this in one of the threads, maybe even this one or possibly the Horror Games thread but you can get a mostly preconfigured dosbox version from this twitter link: https://twitter.com/rachelfails/status/326382344695058432 There's a readme in the zip file to create a shortcut if you don't know how to work dosbox. Windows Defender didn't find anything but scan it with your preferred AV of choice if you're paranoid. I played it before and it went off without a hitch.

I'm going to ask here because GBS couldn't figure it out - About 10 years ago there was a flash game (well kind of a game) where you could click and drag a bunch of colored letters across a flat surface to form words. The kicker was that other people in the room could also click and drag the letters. So you had people write random messages in the rooms, or you had 20 people working together to form a giant penis using the letters. Someone could be a dick and steal the letters as you were trying to write something. I was wondering what the name of that game was and if it's still around.

Trying to remember the name of a game that was never released. What I recall is: - a non-playable demo of it was on a PC Gamer UK cover cd, sometime around 1995-1996 - the demo was a few minutes long and showed a battle between two fighters, set in a dungeon. - it was rendered in-engine and looked rather Quake-ish, with great (for the time) lighting effects - if I'm remembering correctly, the developers originated from the European demoscene

I believe it had a one word title, but I'm not entirely sure what it was. IIRC it was called "Brutal" or "Minotauro" or something like that since there was a minotaur in the artwork. I believe it was a Spanish game, and one of the features it touted was that you could see cuts on your opponent in real time. Maybe someone else remembers more details.

Chaz GELF posted:Okay, this one's being doing my head in for a little while now. There was a game that was played by the SA forums a good few years back (At least within the past 5 years), basically a sci-fi business sim in the same vein as Capitalism II, except I believe it was kind of a massively-multiplayer deal and players could become mayors of entire towns if they were successful enough. I don't even know if the game's still running now, I'm just trying to remember the name of it. Something like "Star"-something, but then given it's a sci-fi game that's really not a whole lot to go on. I remember this. That would be Starpeace Online, hopefully nobody gets any ideas about playing the unbalanced heap again. - My turn to ask you guys if you can remember some dumb game we played at one point. It's a 2d cyberpunk game. It's sorta like an arena game where you've got a bunch of players playing agents who have to get around the map trying to collect the win condition and get it back to their base (which they could place, but it just amounted to a hidden door in the environment). There would be NPC citizens and guards doing a simple pace back and forth walk, and agents could disguise themselves as citizens to fool other agents and not be attacked by the NPC guards. The graphics are that sort of grungy 90s realistic sprite stuff, not quite Mortal Kombat's actual photos, but pretty close. All the factions had their little quirks and gadgets, but the only faction I can recall is the one where instead of the agents being on the same team every agent of that particular faction is a lone wolf, the faction had a dorky name like Black Rose or something.

They basically got made at the same time and when one dies off someone is like "what was the name of that thread..." and bumps the other.

Answering my own questions, because MobyGames is super handy. The game was Silencer

Post 2000 game, in which you are given a pixel art, tiled, two dimensional building, and a budget. You use this budget to spend on demolitions equipment and you try to do as clean and efficient a building demolition as possible. Complications included things like other buildings nearby that you can't hit with shrapnel or debris, and a budget that continues from job to job as you run a demolition company. PC game, I think it was European. Any idea?

There's Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse a Devil May Cry ripoff. PC and console release but the company went bankrupt, not source code related. Shade: Wrath of Angels eventually came out but was in development over 7 years with two or three different stylistic changes for various reasons. Conceptually the game sounds like Archangel but that came out. You can give Unseen 64 a comb over. If anyone has any info on the game it would be them assuming it was going to be some kind of commercial release and not a free indie title.

There are two games I downloaded off HappyPuppy back in the day (probably 1996-8) that I've always wanted to find. One was a Christmas-themed shooter. You controlled a turret at the bottom of the screen and shot elves, reindeer, etc. in Santa's grotto. It was pretty gory; There were elves floating around hanging from balloons, and when you shot them they'd fall down screaming and the balloons would float off with their arms still attached. The background music was Jingle Bells, but I distinctly remember some of the notes being different. Whatever happened to Christmas games anyway? The second one was a first-person game, probably an rpg. All I remember is being able to pick up "feces" as an object, and a puzzle with a bunch of scrolls on the floor. The scrolls said something like "spurned by love" and "spurned by hate" on them. I'm pretty sure it took place on multiple levels or floors, and I think I remember the staircases between being flat textures on walls. I would guess both of these games were several years old when I downloaded them. I think both were DOS games rather than windows.

I'm trying to remember this old multiplayer game from like the early 2000s, it was a platformer and the goal was to find the other player's base and hack their computer. I think the base doors were invisible or something. you could buy turrets and stuff to protect your base.

I'm trying to think of the name of a game that was released in the past couple of years, so less than 5 for sure, probably 3 or fewer. I know it's on Steam. I know I read about it in a thread on SA. I believe it was in some form of roguelike thread, but I'm not totally sure on that. The thing I remember is that the game had a lot of traits and things about characters that were programmed into the game itself, and the post I think I remember is someone explaining that like, they gave an order to one of their characters to attack but she didn't because, like, she was mad and was pouting that one of the other characters had gone off and did X and clearly she hated X because she had properties Y and Z. That isn't exactly what the person said in their post but something along those lines. I think I remember people saying some aspects of it fit tangentially into the category of roguelike but that they probably wouldn't put the game as a whole into it. Does this ring bells for anyone?
