Tinfoil Papercut posted:There was this NES game where you had a little spaceship and fought your way to some sort of power plant. The next part of the game, you bounced around this powerplant place with a jetpack shooting baddies and finding some sort of orb like power core. They'd you'd destroy it and need to GTFO before the whole place exploded. This sounds a lot like Uridium 2, but that was never on the NES. Apparently there was a port of original Uridium to the NES, released as "The Last Starfighter" though.

Uridium 2 looks similar, but I agree with the poster on the last page that I think OP is describing Air Fortress. I didn't search for very long, but the couple videos I watched of the Uridium port on NES didn't appear to have any "indoor" jetpack sections.

Anyone remember a Windows game from the early 2000s that was online-only, just deathmatch as far as I remember, and you would pick from a variety of different futuristic hovertanks? For some reason the word "Wolf" or "Wulf" is bouncing around my head around it but I'm having trouble thinking of much else that distinguished it. It was a free download and free to play.

This is going to be rough. I've googled so much. Old pc game. Probably from the early 2000s. It was a squad based real time strategy game I think. 99% sure it was Vietnam or something jungly. It was a spinoff or side game using the same engine as another similar but differently themed game. I remember the graphics being a weird mix of 2d and 3d, everything looked meaty and physical, maybe had some stuff that seemed physics based at the time. The game was gory iirc. It's driving me insane trying to remember what it is. I swear I've googled and looked at everything that I could keyword search. Unrelated but is there still a game rec thread somewhere? I can't find that either. Everything is missing. Kilometers Davis fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Sep 13, 2017 |

I'm looking for an old-rear end overhead shooter for DOS. I remember that: - it looked a bit like Alien Breed perspective-wise, but no large levels, each level was one whole screen - you could buy weapons/items before each level - it supported 3-player local games (specifically built for 3, as in if you played a 2 player game you'd have an empty space for the 3rd player on the UI) - it had a weird resolution, not 320*240, not 640*480, something in between - some monsters had Finnish names

I played a game way back when and for some reason it's resurfaced in my thoughts. -Early 2000s 3D graphics -over-the-shoulder camera -I'm about 95% sure it was a demo played on an iMac G3, possibly from those demo discs that magazines used to send out -fantasy setting -real-time swording combat and some platforming. May have also had RPG elements -I think there were selectable characters, but the only one I remember was a standard Conan knock-off. I vaguely think he had some backstory about finding a kidnapped sister. -I remember there being a button that would make him say something--to me it sounded like "zither?", which I thought was funny so I mashed it all the time, but it might have been "sister?" -the first area was some sort of standard stonework and iron bars dungeon experience

Some of it sounds like it could have been Dark Vengeance, from 1998. the fantasy and real time combat sounds similar. The Gladiator character looked pretty much like a conan knockoff with a bit more bulk added, and his use item line that I recall sounded like "zinnhurr" or "zither" to me. And his first stage was escaping from gladiatorial slave pens basically, so that could fit stonework and iron bars dungeon. I also remember it was made to run on macs, so G3 sounds about right. Found some random youtube video of a guy playing the first part of the game, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orYfVfgwTLY Does that look like what you were remembering?

Copying from the other game-search thread: I dunno if I asked about this game before, but it's a really old browser game that probably doesn't exist anymore You made a character with a class like mage, priest, warrior, rogue, what-have-you, and then the game had 2 sides to it. 1 was a solo MUD-like experience where you went through predesigned dungeons, fought monsters and solved puzzles and found treasure. But the main game was the 2nd side, which was a pvp arena, where you could use the stuff you found in the 1st side to fight other people and gain levels and stuff. I don't exactly remember how battles worked, but I do remember spells/skills used a xdy system for damage, like in some pnp RPGs.

Thefluffy posted:oh god I used to be huge into their flight unlimited flight sims back when I was a wee crotchling now I have to suffer the fact their games will never be ported to today's OSes I have some good news for you. Ultima Underworld 1&2, System Shock 1, Strike Force Centauri, and Flight Unlimited 1 work flawlessly in DOSBox. SS1 has also gotten fan patches for (optional) mouselook, key rebinding, and high resolution support. Thief 1&2 and SS2 have also gotten fan patches for compatibility with modern systems (as well as stuff like high-res texture packs). All of these except Flight Unlimited are available on GOG, since Night Dive Studios is full of LGS fans and they have been tirelessly working to de-clusterfuck the IP and put together proper re-releases. The only ones I'm not sure about are Flight Unlimited 2 & 3, which I've never played. Also, Arkane Studios is composed largely of former LGS devs and has been doing their best to pick up where LGS left off, with Arx Fatalis, Dishonoured, and Prey being Totally Not Ultima Underworld, Thief, and System Shock respectively.

Back in the 90's there was this graphic adventure game I played the demo of, and I was just racking my brain the other day trying to remember what it was. It was a sort of wacky, comedic type game in the same vein as Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island etc. I think you played a teenage boy who had to stop some zany scientist and his diabolical plan or some such. In the demo you start out in a mall, and I can remember the locations included: a record shop, a fast food joint, a creepy dude selling bubble bath (maybe?) and a crazy dentist's with extremely lethal-looking equipment. I don't think I ever actually completed the demo of it, and to be honest, I wasn't even a particularly big fan of adventure games anyway when I was a kid, so I was never in a rush to get the full game. But I've recently been checking out some LPs of old adventure games that I once tried but never got very far in, and it's been an interesting nostalgia trip to see how the stories ended (Broken Sword and Companions of Xanth are two I've watched already), so it'd be cool if I could follow up on this one too. I think I played the demo around 1996/1997 or so.

This is probably hopeless because everything I remember is really vague. Played in 1990-1992 on an arcade machine A 2player beat-em up The first level was a city street in the day time Enemies were generic 90s thug types.

Were there selectable characters or was player 1 and player 2 tied to a specific character? Do you remember how much room the characters took up on screen? Let's say on a scale of Final Fight being the largest and Crime Fighters the smallest. Was it realistic or "weird?" Like are we talking The Warriors multiracial gangbangers or Streets of Fire neon rock-and-roll or Hobo with a Shotgun "suddenly I'm fighting a demon robot with a noose-gun"?

Just been playing some drunken escort games.. God! they are painful if your on the vip side.. They really need to make the vip have enough AI to fight & it also needs to be some over powered prototype with huge guns & loads of 'next gen' armour or something. It would make the game mode interesting instead of the usual boring "oh poo poo! Im an escort.. gonna lose" *edit* crap this was meant for MWO thread not sure how it ended up here.. im a dumbarse!
