I think it's a Battletech game? Early 3D PC game Pilot robots and low-to-the-ground vehicles Mars? Space patriotism? A robot that makes techno music when it shoots? I would think I dreamed the game if I didn't remember a pretty good LP of it here. edit: It's most certainly Battlezone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IifWMa0JDn4 Heran Bago fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Mar 26, 2020 |

Pretty sure this was an Xbox 360 exclusive. I remember it being a summer release but looking at a list it was not officially part of the Summer of Arcade. Came out around that period, 2008-2013 I can't narrow it down further. This was basically a 3D gauntlet game. Top down, colorful cartoony (think World of Warcraft or Torchlight) graphics. It wasn't a loot based it really was like Gauntlet Legends in its design and execution.

None of those. I think I'll have to dust off the 360 and remember my account details. Xbox should have a Sony style library where it shows a list of every game you ever installed, right?

I'm looking for a DOS-era game. It was a top-down shooter with "tank movement" control scheme, buying weapons/ammo before each round and aliens. It had a weird graphics mode/resolution (320x400?), was designed for 3 players (as in, info bar space specifically divided into spaces for 3 players, not 2 not 4) and the devs were Finnish IIRC. Anyone have an idea?

Few months ago there was a sci fi roguelike shooter released, some RPG elements... I think it was either cel-shaded or full on cartoony graphics. Anyone know the name? I was interested in it but didn't have the time to play games back then

I once heard someone mention an old game where you could beat it quickly by typing a certain message at a magic mirror a few steps into the game. Anyone know what that might be?

Hilariously, in every game after that, if you said ilostit to any similar device, it would reply You never had it.

Figured it out, the game is Crimson Alliance which is still an Xbox 360 exclusive that nobody cares about developed by a company that is basically a massive contracting house for multiplayer modes of AAA games.

C64 game, the goal was to sail a boat around africa (trade for spices maybe?) and random bad things would happen. Storms, pirate attacks, hostile natives, etc. Also some good things like friendly natives, finding loot/treasure from shipwrecks etc. I wanna say the screen where you see africa and sail around is very yellow. Overall I think gameplay was like an event would happen and you'd have a menu of choices, sorta like oregon trail but sailing a boat around africa instead.

DOS game, SF strategy, the premise is that you return to the solar system after either some off-system scientific journey lasting hundreds of years and/or having spent said time in cryo-sleep (forgot which one) and you basically have to rediscover the solar system all over again and learn what the hell happened in the meantime. And no, it's NOT Star Control 2 aka Ur-Quan Masters. Pierzak fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Apr 9, 2020 |

A game I would have played around 2005-2007 for pc, you had an overhead view of your ship which was hurled into unknown space and damaged, with most of the crew missing as well. I forget if you control the ship itself or a shuttle but you had to mine asteroids for materials to repair and upgrade stuff. I THINK pirates would attack sometimes and you had to blow them up. It was a shareware deal where you get the first little area for free and have to pay to play the rest. I cant remember any more specifics but if I saw it, I'd bet I'd recognize it instantly

Anything else you can remember? Color palette, any particular phrases in the menu, layout of the screen? Some quick googling turns up a surprising number of games in the DOS era with similarities to your description.

I was thinking of Solar Winds, which has you travel a long distance away to a research station and then return to where you started using a hyperdrive, but there's nothing about cryo-sleep involved.

Years ago someone made a thread about a kind of forums Risk game. Like the map of the world was broken up into territories and each poster could claim a territory. Then every day you could do various things like attack other territories, upgrade technology, maybe even buy and sell goods, etc. Posters could make alliances and stab each other in the back, etc. Does anyone know what I’m talking about or what it was called? Does it still exist? It was all contained in the thread, updated by the OP with images each day.

Anything more specific? Something about the appearance or a specific game feature. As it is, that could cover basically every Paradox game Let's Play that has ever been run here.
