Does anyone remember the name of an old isometric rpg/action puzzler that was set in a land with a magic civ and a tech civ and you played the child of parents who came from each civ? He was like the result of a forbidden union type deal because they weren't suppose to hang out with each other. I remember playing the demo if it. I think they were kind of like hobbit type characters

For some reason the first thing I thought of was Project Overkill, a PSX game where you can play as one of four distinct agents, blasting through levels with tons of destructible features and a general emphasis on death and destruction. I even wanted to say that the game kept tally how much poo poo you wrecked at the end of each level, but it looks like it primarily just kept track of total level kills as a "termination efficiency".

I remember the death animations being pretty gnarly. I have a submission for the thread. A early to mid 2000's freeware doujin fighter made in one of those 2D fighter maker programs (think Arm Joe) made by a team called Studio FK or maybe Team FK. The one character I remember was a guy who looked like a normal anime teenager but transformed into a Super Deformed (big head, squat body) version of himself. Wore a green shirt and tan or brown pants. The character might have been named Suneo. I can find their next more popular game easily. Super Cosplay Wars Ultra but their previous title escapes me.

I'm trying to remember the name of an indie-ish RTS from the days when there were a ton of them. Released after starcraft and strongly influenced by it, so late 90s or early naughts. 2D graphics. The designer was some big name starcraft player, by the standards of competitive mouse clicking in the late 90s. I don't think the game had a campaign, just multiplayer. The big mechanic I remember was that resourcing required you to link towers together from your main to your expansion, which you then had to defend to get stuff out of your expansion. I think the name and setting were generic fantasy, which is why I can't find the damned things. E: Ah. Strifeshadow was the name and it was painfully generic. I only found this because I remembered that the designer was the guy who introduced the "new school" versus "old school" RTS player distinction, which lead me to this webpage of his from 1999 that defined the terms, which lead to me googling his nickname and getting his Liquipedia page, which lead to me learning that he's now a VP of Design on Riot and in charge of the League of Legends design team. Man, poo poo happens to people in 20 years. Xerophyte fucked around with this message at 09:44 on Mar 7, 2018 |

This is going to be a hard one due to it's vagueness, but my friend's trying to remember the name of a mid-2000s MMO. She described it as being a lovecraftian doom-like mmo fps. Anything that that description reminds you of would help.

Indie horror game I downloaded from itch.io a few years ago. Stylized after MSX/DOS graphics in monochrome. It was set in Japan and kind of designed like an interactive fiction simulation (think King of Dragon Pass) where each day you investigate paranormal happenings around the city, bad stuff happens to you, and you manage your health and sanity.

I'm trying to remember the name of a ship combat game I played ~two decades ago. From most to least certain, I remember it: - was a 3d game with 3rd person perspective for either ps2, ps1, or pc - was definitely not a simulator, very arcade-y - had you play as the last(maybe?) battleship. It was gray and I think the main attack it had was the broadside, but it could also do depth charges to fight submarines? - had you often navigating close to land or in rivers & shooting things onshore - was not open-world, had defined levels+missions - had whirlpools that were either the level transitions or traps. Also powerups you could sail over to collect Any help would be appreciated.

Game Boy or Game Boy Color. The guy at EB Games or where ever was suggesting a game for a teenage daughter. I think he mentioned that you go party with friends? Or maybe you get drunk? Man, I don't remember. Are there any games for the Gameboy where you do that?

I've been trying to find an arcade game for a long rear end time now but I can't remember the name for the life of me It's this game where you play a guy in a leather jacket and brown/blonde hair fighting against toys and stuff. It's a Run-n-Gun/beatemup I think? I keep thinking it was named 'Atomic Toy' but that's definitely not the name. I think it had 'Toy' in the name, but I'm not 100% on that.

Fighters Kyodotai. it's a pretty fun game. the final boss is just a really buff version of Doraemon.

Okay, gonna try my luck here. Some 20 years ago, I got my first Windows PC with a demo CD with it, filled with shareware and similar. One of the games was this point n click adventure like game. Stylewise it looked almost like it was created in paint, flat colours, no real shading as far as I remember. It started you in a sinister looking city at night, then you ventured into the sewers and finally emerged in some fantasy world. And that's it! I didn't really understand English at that point, so I only progressed by trial and error and that CD has left the world a long time ago. Does it ring a bell somewhere, even with my less than comprehensive description?

Here's something that's bugging a friend of mine and now me, I wasn't sure it was a game but he thinks it was. This would've been around 2003 and we were at some restaurant/bar, when we saw this long crt monitor on the bar table. It had an old credit card reader built into the front. The title screen said Card something. I thought it was some fancy till, but my friend thinks it was a portable touch-screen arcade with card games on it.

Could be anything? I remember a family restaurant in the 80s that had a sit-down Galaga table, with controllers and coin slots on both seated sides.

There is a scene in about the middle of The Wizard (1990) where Jimmy is playing Ninja Gaiden on one of these. I'd screenshot it, but I'm at work. If it helps, it's when Haley first tells them about Video Game Armageddon. I remember because she plops the magazine right on top of the screen while he's still playing  Edit: skip to 1:30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrIn8hklG-I Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 12:48 on Apr 30, 2018 |

It was definitely not a cocktail arcade. It's literally a crt tv/monitor placed on a bar table, not built into a table.

Long shot, maybe. DOS racing game, you played as what appeared to be an F1 driver with a big helmet. No selectable car. Each stage/level had a different group of car opponents. I specifically remember what appeared to be a toxic waste plant or something and every opponent was a pickup truck. I think that was level 2. Might have been level 3. First level in retrospect was sunshiny and bright with palm trees I think. I don't even know why I care about this, but it's been bothering me. Only unremembered game from my childhood aside from Flying Warriors. Theotus fucked around with this message at 08:06 on May 1, 2018 |

I'm trying to remember the name of an old Xbox game. It was a western that focused on gun fighting and quick draw duels. I remember it being very stylized. I remember one of the early levels has you fighting a group of cowboy clowns. The game may have been japanese.

Trying to think of a mobile game, might have been Android only, that had a first person perspective, had room-based movement, puzzle solvey stuff, and I think survival elements? Like there was stuff to craft/upgrade and enemies to fight off. You started not knowing what was going on/with amnesia too, I think. e: Nvm after an hour of searching I found it.
