Okay, this is an odd one I barely remember and I've never seen it mentioned despite having a unique concept. This was a PC game that I think came out in the early to maybe mid nineties, probably not that much later than games like Legend of Red Dragon, so very early internet. In this game you had a certain amount of points to make one or more dragons with various stats including one that controlled its size. The game was viewed from a top down angle and the graphics from what I remember were really brown and the dragons looks less like wyrms and more like worms the wriggled around breathing fire on each other. Now what made this unique is that it was an online multiplayer game of sorts. You would upload your dragons and some time later you would get a replay of the fight back showing how it went down. I'm really fuzzy on how this worked since I did it only once or twice, but I believe you signed up on a site, uploaded your dragon and they would E-mail you a file containing the fight replay.....I think. I know this game probably existed, because I distinctly remember making one really big dragon and getting a replay back of it fighting off three little ones. Oh and I don't think this was a game you bought at a store, but rather downloaded from said site. Pulsarcat fucked around with this message at 05:09 on Dec 19, 2019 |

ClearAirTurbulence posted:I played a game a few years back on the PC, where you ran a building demolition company. It wasn't Demolition City or a flash game, which is all I can find online that matches the description. It was very detailed, there were multiple kinds of explosives you could buy, you had to protect neighboring buildings with sandbags and stuff, and you had to pay wages for the time it took to clean up after the demolition. You could set timers for all the different charges accurate down to at least the 10th of a second, meaning on large buildings you could set it up so there was a wave of explosions, or so that you could collapse one part and then have secondary explosives go off a couple of seconds later. You even had to pay for the wire by the foot. Anybody know what I'm talking about? Zeithammer posted:The game I'm looking for was a rather complex building demolition simulator. You could set individual charge types/timing/amounts, and were tasked with destroying a specific building with a set amount of money. The graphics were simple, although that may not be due to age; it was most likely on a DOS platform. Kammat posted:Operation Cleaner 2

Weird one just popped into my head, and I'm having a devil of a time trying to piece together the right keywords from my scattered memories to search for it. It's not a game I played myself, so I think I saw an LP of it. It was a survival game, but the survival aspects of it were sort of muted, and it was as much or more about managing the mental health/teamwork of your island castaways, and it also had a map you reveal and some sort of story to it, I think. I believe you chose a morning activity for everyone and an evening activity for everyone, and you just sort of observed how that worked out, sometimes making decisions based on what people found while exploring. I vaguely recall the survivors being a set cast, who each had their own skills, preferences, and relationships with one another. Some of them arbitrarily hated one another for reasons I vaguely recall being stupid in context. The cast of survivors could build up skills based on what they did. One of your main sources of food was fishing, which was an interesting part of the management sim since lazier survivors tend to like to fish, but fishing was also good for stress management in general. You could pair survivors off on certain activities specifically to try and improve their relationship with one another. Also, there was a WEIRD loving theme to the island, like it was tropical with pirate treasure and palm trees, but also scattered marble blocks which served as one of your resources, and what might be grecian deities meddling with your survival efforts. It was also sort of built like a visual novel, and I recall that it was mostly static, drawn locations and portraits. I don't know if all of these memories are accurate, and I don't know when I saw this, maybe early oughts. I don't even know why I was remembering it all of a sudden.

Don't google that game too much if you care about the actual story of the main game since it's real easy to spoil yourself.

Alright this is gonna be a doozy, like 12 years ago my mom got me this game for PS2. Problem was that it was one of those blue disc games and the PS2 I had at the time couldn't play blue disc cds, so I never actually got to play it. At some point either I lost it or it was stolen. I did read the manual however, and I'm curious if this game ever actually existed or if I'm having some extremely hosed up memory of my past. I believe the box art had a white backing with an outline of the protagonist's face, and the outlining was in a red or slightly orange color. The player character was female and was a witch or something else that was proficient in magic. The game took place either in a village that the protagonist ruled over or simply lived in and it was the hub area. You would go out and do generic medieval fantasy things to accrue money that you would then use to upgrade your village. I want to say the gameplay was something like the PS2 Baldur's Gate games, overhead hack n slash. It was most likely a budget title, as that is the only reason my mom would ever get me a game outside of christmas or my birthday and she found it in the bargain bin And go!

So there's a game I remember playing the demo of ages ago - you were a summoner dude playing in a RTS/RPG hybrid and your dude could summon creatures to fight for you and also cast spells. The game played out in real time (not turned based) - similar to Myth. In the demo I specifically remember being able to summon a humanoid creature that attacked by throwing rocks, and also something else, as well as having a fireball spell. I also remember it being a fairly dark game. I think you also learned new summons by picking up scrolls. Likely to be pre-2000s as I think I was quite young when I played it.

Only thing is that you don't learn stuff by picking up scrolls, you get them as you level.

X-COM: UFO Defense uses a music track that I swear I've heard in other games as a sound effect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uJUMWxK5vM&t=596s (should start at 9:56) The "wavy" bit that plays for like 8 seconds was definitely a sound effect in another game. I vaguely place it as playing after you make a menu selection of some sort, like if you select to fabricate or upgrade something. But I can't place it for the life of me. Does anybody know what game used this bit as a sound effect? Edit: Oh wait, I'm 99% sure it's in one of the new XCOM games. That would make sense. Never mind  Edit 2: Yeah, it plays when you check the Psi Lab results in XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Shine fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Jan 5, 2020 |

I've got one that I just suddenly thought of: - Anime fighting game, maybe in mid 2000s, for...I want to say, PC. Not sure if it came to consoles/arcades - I believe it has a 3 button system. - For characters, one was a bare fisted boxer. Another was basically a SUPERHERO, in like a jacket and no mask or anything, think something similar to Lars in Tekken. Some characters had variations, like the superhero guy had a variant where he was in full powered superhero mode. - Bright and colourful graphics. Characters are pretty small compared to screen size, maybe about KoF97-2003 era.

It describes Demon Stone to a T. However, Demon Stone is a DVD game, not one of the blue CD-ROM disks, so if the bolded part is true it cannot be Demon Stone. But surely it was Demon Stone to remember such a cover, like it must be. But if not, maybe it's Summoner 2 like someone suggested or Dark Angel: Vampire Apocalypse.

Wait, Dark Vampire's premise (gathering supplies to power up villages who help you get better gear, you play a female protagonist) sounds exactly like what I read in the manual. But the cover art doesn't look familiar at all. Did I manage to confuse 2 games, did I have both at some point  Mother fuckers need to stop stealing my poo poo god drat
