You know, I tried looking for Fire Fight but as you can imagine its a very vague search term. Cheers, I feel vindicated now!

That reminds me of Jungle Strike. I loved when Pops would rent that game.

Does anyone know of a first person game, probably a shooter, where you fight dinosaurs and can get your eye pecked out by a pterodactyl? This loss of an eye was represented in your field of view being more limited. It was from sometime in the mid nineties I think. My first thought was Shadowcaster, or something from that era. Definitely not turok, as we never had a turok game in our house. Any help would be appreciated.

DOS game, at least in style. Turn based criminal organization game, where you go around robbing stores or kidnapping people. You fight rival gangs in I think turn based combat.

What year do you remember playing it? Was the turn based top down grid style, isometric, first person? Were the DOS graphics like gaudy rear end purple and cyan CGA style or more modern VGA with full color palettes?

That game had so much stuff to do in it, but it was horribly imbalanced. I think that grabbing children from the playground for ransom was the fastest way to earn dosh?

Trying to find a a dos game from early to mid 90s. It had a segment that included a animated stand-up comic telling the joke about god sending 3 boats to save a guy. It was probably part of some giant shareware collection.

...so, in attempting to do a write-up for an ancient interactive fiction game I wanted to know the name of, I actually generated enough clues to find it myself; it was A Mind Forever Voyaging. In a small way this actually kind of frustrates me, because I still don't have any leads for the couple of open requests right now.

This reminds me of an ooooold interactive fiction game from a long time ago. All I remember is that you have multiple lives, and you *need* to die several times to beat it. Also, at one point you flush yourself down a toilet. Any ideas?

Adam Cadre made a game I can’t recall but it starts with you as a Civil War soldier that runs into wild dogs and you resurrect to them eating your old body and the game is built around dying to clear puzzles.

There was this free to play game I played in the mid-2000s I think. It may have been a fan project. It was knockoff Gundams fighting in an arena. Third person over-the-shoulder with guns and melee weapons. The only thing I can remember is that it was barely localized and I'm pretty sure the Gundams were named after Windows operating systems. Ring any bells?

I think my favorite experiment in it was when you tried smashing the blob and it just loving detonated. Second one had you figuring out why everyone got sick in the cookout, and who was at fault in a bike crash, complete with measuring skid marks to determine how fast a car was going. You had to solve basic scientific questions in them, such as in the first one you had to figure out the density of the blob, which was weight/mass. https://artsandculture.google.com/a.../twHmjOnppPkrOQ E-Tank fucked around with this message at 08:53 on Sep 9, 2019 |

There's no toilet in it but (Above reminds me of how I wasted months convinced as a 10 year old that Mr Prosser was a real estate agent and needed to waive his fee, based on the Guide's listing for intelligence for the screen door puzzle) (The guide and encyclopaedia frobozzica were the best)

I had I think, dad had put me on to weekly reruns of the radio show. Zaphod's boat puzzle was the one other stumper I never got past until years later - I'd been relying on the local game-rentals-by-post service whose monthly newsletter meant at least a couple months turnaround on posting a question and someone else the answer.

I completed the first one, completely, and it gave me a code to send to the makers, and as a result they sent me either a free, or discounted copy of the sequel. I wish there'd been more, but I get the feeling the FMV craze just was prohibitively expensive.

Okay I'm looking for a graphical point and click adventure game. Not lucasarts. Around the era of dark seed because I pirated them from the same BBS in 1995 back to back. The only thing that I remember is to solve a single puzzle you had to make friends with a british old lady and get her to start poo poo and distract the people guarding an area. She brags that she threw blood on the fox hunters at greenham common so she's up to the challenge of making a scene. I used to go eat the worst hamburgers in the world in the cafeteria in greenham common airbase playing teenage mutant hero turtles on the arcade machine there and wondering why england was so afraid of ninjas they had to change the name. This is why this is the only thing about the game I can remember.

This is probably the longest shot in the dark, but I have only the vaguest memory of this game. It would have been a Windows game from at 94-96. What I know for sure was that was an educational game that involved riding a subway / train around to different stops that were the letters of the alphabet. There was also an express train that only stopped at vowels. The train had a sign that said "No Spitting!" in it. Edit: This may not have been the only part to the game, but it's the only thing I remember. Maigius fucked around with this message at 04:39 on Sep 27, 2019 |
