I recall being able to choose the number of fish or something but nothing else. I suspect it may have just been an early screensaver. Not sure if it's quite the right era but it sounds like the kind of thing that would have been in Flying Toasters After Dark. There were a ton of different screensavers that came with that, and most were pretty customizable.

Octal posted:I'm curious if anyone can figure out what game this is supposed to be Wouldn’t it be lovely if they just sourced the loving game in the description? Anyway the activity is called bakuten, Japanese back handsprings. Looks like ps1 cinemas and Konami made a bunch of those gymnastics games in multiple volumes. Like volume 3 is “monster box” and they probably have a bakuten exclusive title. Start there.

The one I'm after has more of a fish tank look. It would've had to run in DOS on an old 80386 processor.

Fish were just a few pixels though I think.

I have a weird request for a game. This game is something that isn't on any console or home PC, and is only demoed at indy booths conventions like PAX. It involves two human players, and one AI player. The first human player looks into a camera, and has to show an emotion. The second human player and the AI player watch the first player, and compete to identify the first player's emotion. I heard about the game on a podcast, where they also discussed the "backstory" of the game, but I can't remember if this was a joke or not. The story was that the two human players are prisoners in a dystopian future, and they are trying to communicate without the AI realizing what they are conveying.

Pretty sure I saw that once, on some video about an expo or whatever where they showcased games with unusual control schemes. There was an AI doing facial recognition, and two players had to face each other through a box and communicate with facial expressions - but avoiding the normal ones, because the AI would pick up on those little subtleties I'm trying to think of some of the other games to make searching easier, but I'm drawing a blank. Doesn't help that a lot of it worked like Nintendo's Labo stuff so I'm probably confusing the two, it was a while ago. I feel like the video I saw was probably OutsideXbox or OutsideXtra on YouTube though!

90s 2D (I think) galleon ship game. Where you had to kill the other sailing ships by just going around them and keeping them in the firing arc of your cannons. You could see the firing arcs too, I remember that. Its not Overboard! but something like it, it wasn't 3D from what I remember.

happyhippy posted:90s 2D (I think) galleon ship game. Sid Meier's Pirates! (also re-released as Pirates! Gold) from the 80s (90s) prior to the reinvention/re-re-release by firaxis in the early 00s. Cutthroats: Terror on the High Seas (notably different from Pirates! mostly in that land attacks on cities were an RTS game all their own, among a few other embellishments) Uncharted Waters 1 or 2 (90s), for a variety of systems but notably both Sega Genesis and SNES; UW2 has 6 characters with their own storylines/victory conditions and has TURN BASED ship combat (unlike the realtime in the above two) where, again, as in the above two, your mentioned feature of outmaneuvering enemy ships such that you keep em in your firing/broadside arc and you outside of theirs is pretty key. Ninja edit: other notable differences if you're trying to keep these games apart in your shattered memories thereof: 1. Pirates! had ship combats as exclusively 1v1 affairs; no fleet vs. fleet actions. Even if you've got 8 botes and the other dude does too, prepare for a series of 1v1 fights. 2. Cutthroats had realtime combat like Pirates! but with multiple ships at a time! If you had 5 ships against 3 merchantmen all 8 dutifully participated in a realtime battle similar to that of Pirates! 1v1 ship combat. Another notable difference with Cutthroats is that if you storm a city via amphibious landing it's an RTS minigame to sort that out, as opposed to Pirates' turn based land combat, or the Uncharted Waters complete lack of attacking ports/cities at all. 3. Uncharted Waters 1/2 were exclusively TURN BASED; no realtime ship combat. Ship combat was fleet vs. fleet rather than 1v1 but again turn based rather than realtime. Further, you couldn't attack ports directly, not via a realtime ship battle or RTS ground battle or fencing cutscene. chairface fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Jun 3, 2018 |

happyhippy posted:90s 2D (I think) galleon ship game. There was a Discovery pirates game called Pirates: Captain's Quest. It was 2D but had no firing arcs visible. I have a game, it was an old lovely doom clone that was aiming to 'gross you out', I don't remember a name at all, but I do know you could at some places buy/purchase De-oderant as a bomb or throwable. It was really *weird*.

LGR introduced me to this thing, and except for its terrible aiming, it's not too bad of a little game. Kinda like Bad Toys, but slightly more deranged. THE BAR fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Jun 5, 2018 |

I'm looking for a game I played as a kid that I have incredibly hazy memories of. It was in black and white. I believe it was a point-and-click adventure game. It was in a noir style, and I'm fairly sure it involved strange alien creatures and had an amusement park.

Trying to remember a Myst-like game where one of the environments was a sort of carnival where there was at least one disturbing early 3D clown head as some sort of decoration. I can say for sure it wasn't The Residents' weird games, Bad Day on the Midway or Freak Show.

I played the demo of a FPS in the late 90s. You wake up in a storage room in the basement of a hospital or office building--in any case, it's a very plain building with some crates and blank white walls. I think the protagonist has amnesia. The building is under attack by terrorists. You can acquire a pistol, a submachine gun, and I believe a grenade and some body armor. The demo ends after you kill a few terrorists and escape through a door. I know this is very vague. The lack of distinguishing features is what made it memorable.

I don't think there were grenades, though.

Yeah! I forgot to mention the weird spider things on the ceiling! I think I would've been disappointed if I'd bought the game and later levels in this realistic FPS had a gun-toting clone of the Iron Sheik running around.

I specifically remember it being first-person with pre-rendered 3D graphics similar to Myst. I just wish I had something more specific than these vague images in my mind.

Game 1) This is a long shot but.. late 80s or early 90s DOS game (or perhaps a port to DOS), side-scrolling 2d perspective, where you were some kind of a space adventurer with a space ship you piloted where you could land on random planets and explore them. For some reason in my head it reminds me of almost a Flashback, but more about exploration. I remember one of the missions was finding a part to fix your ship. You could land on a lush planet. Some planets required you wore your space suit because either there was no air or it was toxic. This was literally 30 years ago, so I'm sure I made up half of that. Feel like I've been looking for this game forever now. Game 2) Late 80s / early 90s DOS game where you were a character in some kind of a dungeon / prison, maybe the thing was black and white, and you had to get out and the whole thing was just totally insane inside. It had a weird name like Andy's Escape or Bob's Labyrinth or something like that. Perspective was sort of weird adventure meets isometric, not sure. I think it was more of a point and click adventure more than say a side scrolling shooter.
