TooMuchAbstraction posted:This would have been on the Commodore 64. What I remember most about it is that it played from a first-person perspective, albeit not true 3D of course -- instead you'd transition between scenes by interacting with doors (maybe by clicking on them?), and within a scene sometimes you could scroll left/right. I also remember that you had a basic claw-looking thing by default, though you could also find some guns. My impression is that you were in a space suit or environment suit or something like that, but it's also possible you played as a robot or an alien. I never got very far. While this list is massive (679 entries, according to a copy-paste into Excel  ), searching for 'Commodore' narrows it down to 18 possibilities (assuming this is a definitive list).

There was a game that I remember playing on the sega channel that was an action game with a bird's eye view and a fantasy-anime like setting. you could choose from atleast 3 different characters who had different weapons and possibly rescue more as the game went on. had a very melodramatic intro cinematic.

Here one I can not figure out. An educational game from the 90's with the characters being super heroes. I don;t have much info beyond that. I had borrowed the CD once from a neighbor kid.

I have a whopping three games that I've wondered about for years, and I just discovered this thread existed. First one was a first-person RPG, I don't remember a ton about it except that it was one of the first games I remember seeing where you could get different pieces of equipment for a bunch of armor slots, so you would get greaves, pauldrons, cuirasses, boots, etc. instead of just "armor". It wasn't Daggerfall or Hexen or anything well known, but it would have been around that era and similar graphically, I think. Second is an FPS, I can't remember a ton about it other than that there were tons and tons of secret doors and hidden locations, and the weapons were all more futuristic/sci-fi than realistic. I think it would have come out sometime between Rise of the Triad and Unreal 1, so maybe '95-'98? Also it's possible you either played as or could play as a giant alligator/lizardperson but that might be a fever dream. Last one was a top-down tactical rpg (think Shining Force style) that had an absolutely massive number of character creation options, if my memory is to be believed. I think you made your entire party, and could have quite a few characters, and there were a lot of non-traditional (for the time) races and classes, like I'm pretty sure there was one, if not two, catpeople races, and demons, and etc. I think I had a catperson warlock who fought people with nunchakus. I don't remember the game necessarily being good, or well written, or even finished, for that matter.

I'm looking for a game I played as a kid in the early to mid 2000s. It was a platformer where you controlled someone using a jetpack (or rocket, I don't remember), and was on PC. It was probably a flash game, but I'm not sure. I remember finding it hard, but that may be because I was a kid. IIRC you could only use the jetpack/rocket to move, and couldn't walk, but that may be wrong.

It released in the time frame, has a fair number of secrets, and has plenty of weapons that are futuristic. It doesn't allow you to play as a giant alligator or anything AFAIK, but if that was a fever dream this could be it.

This sounds like Ultima Underworld, not only the first first-person RPG but also the game whose early prototypes inspired Wolfenstein 3D.

They all would have been mid-90s to early 2000s PC/DOS games, and chances are good I only ever played shareware versions of them. The first two may have been on one of those CDs that had tons of zip files of shareware games, the third one I think may have been late enough that it was something I downloaded off the internet so all bets are off on whether it even existed for more than a minute. Hakkesshu posted:Cybermage? No but it's definitely in the ballpark. MegaZeroX posted:This a shot in the dark, but may it be Turok, dinosaur hunter?

Similar graphics and gameplay, if I remember right. ManxomeBromide posted:This sounds like Ultima Underworld, not only the first first-person RPG but also the game whose early prototypes inspired Wolfenstein 3D. Nah I remember Ultima Underworld pretty well, I think this was something else that had simultaneously better and worse graphics (more "advanced", but shittier-looking) Saint Septimus posted:Is this one Realmz? Almost certainly. If not that exactly, it was a mod of it. Nicely done!

Was the FPS game full 3D or 2.5d? Do you remember if the enemies were sprites or 3D models? Was the first person RPG fully 3D like Ultima Underworld or was it grid-based like Wizardry? You said it wasn't Daggerfall so I'm guessing you also ruled out Arena.

Given the timeframe and likelihood of being shareware I feel the other two games are Raven Software titles like Black Crypt/ShadowCaster and the FPS is probably CyClones.

I think the RPG was fully 3D. Wasn't Arena either, no. I'm trying to remember anything else about it, even just hunting around Moby Games might shake something loose.

So fun fact, I'm pretty sure the game I'm thinking of is Amulets and Armor, I remember the weird like waveform display thing in the UI. But I was also conflating it with ShadowCaster (the next thing I thought of, before looking these up, was "it had a lot of wands, and I think you turned into monsters") So good job on finding both the game I was thinking of, and another one that I didn't know I was thinking of!

I did remember, in the FPS, there were also a load of cheat codes that I either found or were readily available, that let you noclip through walls and fly and stuff, and the environments were at least somewhat designed around being able to move vertically, so it was probably a fully 3D game.

ScummVM style point & click adventure game, main character was a nerdy high school or college kid, you dealt with bullies and stuff and i think there was an alien invasion subplot, the title was something like [CHARACTER NAME]: Invasion of [NAME OF ALIEN SPECIES] or whatever, it wasn't Zach McKracken or anything like that, it was obscure and I only had the shareware version First screen of the shareware was in a park and you were talking to your love interest

And I wasn't thinking of Stonekeep, though I definitely played that one-- It was Amulets and Armor, conflated with another game. I am genuinely impressed that these games I've been wondering about for years got identified here in less than 24 hours.

I guess Igor isn't about aliens at all, I must've misremembered because I assumed Uikokahonia was the name of an alien planet or something as a kid

Shady Amish Terror posted:Can you remember any visual details, sound effects, what the menu looked like, anything like that? I think I remember it being very colorful, and vaguely that the art style was close to a kid's cartoon. Not visual related, but I definitely remember playing it in middle school, so it must have come out before 2010. I'm pretty sure it was out earlier on though, like before 2008. The game had multiple levels, though I don't know how many since I never beat it. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it had a password system. I think if you ran out of jetpack/rocket juice by the end of the level you were forced to walk off a platform and die. OH, I THINK I REMEMBERED SOMETHING! I'm not 100% sure, but I think the game was set in a classroom, and the platforms were shelves.
