khy posted:Ancients 1 is the one, holy poo poo SO MANY MEMORIES THE NOSTALGIA IS OVERFLOWING. Ok, this is super weird, but every time I see a post ITT that mentions 'early 90s PC RPG', my first thought is always "Maybe it's Ancients" before I read the rest of the post in question. And now it happened (except I was too late to be helpful, so all you're left with is this dumb post.)

The only Moraff game I was aware of as a kid was Moraff's Blast, and this gets ever-weirder the older I get.

Alright here's another. It was a 90's pc game. It was an isometric mafia themed builder I think? You'd build buildings and assign them to illegal operations like bootlegging and I think you could also train agents like saboteurs and assassins to mess up the competition. It's been forever and I only ever played the demo that came with a pc gamer mag if I remember correctly. Always wanted to find it again but I can barely remember anything about it.

No, I don't think it is. I'm not familiar with this one but I think the game was really more about building and management than controlling a team of goons. That said it's been so long that what I remember is really hazy and half-remembered.

Two - SNES (or maybe NES) top-down adventure game Only things I remember from this is that the HUD was primarily a candle on the right side of the screen that got shorter either as you got hurt or tired; it had a day/night cycle; and an early part of the game you come across a desert area with an abandoned town. Embarrassing thing is I am positive I asked about this years ago on another forum, and I've since forgotten what it was. Part of the answer I was sure of though was that it was made by a game studio that created other games I was a huge fan of - Origin. But I've searched through lists of games they made and none of them match (definitely wasn't a mainline Ultima and almost positive it wasn't an Ultima spinoff). Multiplayer arcade space fighter Less pressing since it's unlikely I'll ever be able to play it again, but one summer in Florida in the mid-nineties I went to an arcade in Hollywood (... or possibly Daytona) and there was a massive construct with at least six seats and a room-length screen where everyone would play together in the same space fighting game. Nothing particularly remarkable about the gameplay other than it being a novel experience, a team-based space fighter.

It was a hurried experience and I died pretty quick. Only arcade footage I'm finding is a single screen. The seats for the game I played were like the full setup for car racing games, but with a joystick. Wasn't a standard arcade cabinet, the screen was a few feet away and larger.

Looking for a 00s adventure/horror(?) game, it was about 3 people stranded in some space station/ship where a deadly virus killed most of the crew. The gimmick was that all 3 had skills essential to success, but they could never meet because each carried a different strain of the virus which would kill them upon contact with the others.

I think I remember that being $10 new on release. Was it actually good, or just budget shovelware?

Looking for an arcade game I played in the late 90s. It was a two-player air fighter combat game with a pretty decked-out seated cabinet. The unique thing about it was that it was on rails and the players traded who was shooting at who, i.e., it was fixed perspective from the back and you either were shooting or dodging. I feel like this was a pretty common, maybe well-known game? But after desperate googling over the last few days and I got nothing.

Looking for an Action RPG on the Sega Saturn (but maybe it was early Playstation 1?). Something having to do with elves and there were little orange gems you'd collect maybe? I remember very little except that my friends and I rented it and finished it over a weekend. I remember a screen where your character was standing on a green cliff overlooking a sky maybe.

Looking for a strategy game, very likely a RTS, that had a hovercraft unit. The unit had a blue (or purple)/silver color scheme if I can remember correctly. Should be sometime from late 90s - early 2000s. Any clues?

This one is 4 da gamers More than 10 years ago, my dad would bring me back gifts from Flying J truck stops (he was a trucker). These were games ranging from obscure (BHunter) to godlike (Deus Ex, Unreal Tournament) to less good. When the budget was low he would bring back freeware or shareware type titles that probably sold for a dollar. The one I've been trying to track down and name has escaped me all these years is one of these. It is: -pc -probably shareware -maybe never got a full release -unknown publisher and country of release but at least released in the USA -unknown release date but probably some years after Red Alert 1? -it is an RTS game à la Red Alert+Starcraft -you harvest blue minerals which are used to make drugs of some kind, that's your main ressource -that's all lol It's not Dune Think Napalm: The Crimson Crisis type deal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napalm:_The_Crimson_Crisis I have nothing to offer if you do manage to name the game other than the feeling of being stupid knowledgeable about ancient video games. than k you thread

Okay, so there's a mobile game on iOS that my friend's trying to remember. - She initially describes it as a Crossy Road/Steppy Pants clone but that just might be describing the graphics because... - She says it's touch sensitive, follows your finger on screen, so definitely doesn't control like Crossy Road - Notable characters, toilet and fridge? - Notable enemy, some sort of charging bull - If you kill a bull with another bull you will get coins. They only charge if you're near it - The objective is to collect coins/items specific to character to open the next level Any ideas? The above info is mostly from this handy reference chart:  "I have sketched out what I remember. It’s design was 3D-ish and looked like CR, but it still had roundedges. So it looked more like Steppy pants." Artelier fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Apr 30, 2020 |
