Trying to remember a 90s sci-fi flying shooter game that was on dos or windows. It was like Terminal Velocity where you are not in space but had a bit better graphics but same terrible draw distance. You could have the camera behind the ship or inside it but there was no cockpit just hud icons. The main feature I remember about it was you could destroy the ground and dig trenches out of the hills by shooting at the ground lots.

That was the shittiest FPS I'd ever played. You just walked forward and shot things and watched terrible cutscenes. Oh my god that game sucked.

No it wasn't full voxel destruction, you could just make the ground change height and it smoothed it out so you could make holes trenches but not dig under the ground.

I played that game as a kid and marveled at the fact that you could change the terrain. This is the PC version, but I think it originated on Amiga and was later released on PSX and Saturn as well.

Flannelette posted:Yes! that's it thanks. Legit, I wanted to ask in my first post if the words "death by stereo" meant anything to you because that's the first thing that pops into my mind when I think of that game. Well, that and the fact that different platforms had wildly different backstories. In one version, you were fighting in an intergalactic war. In another (the Amiga version, I think) you were performing as a pilot in a reality tv-show. All of them had terrible German techno on the soundtrack.

Trying to find two games. Both are PC. RTS I played in the early 2010s, maybe around 2012? It was fairly old at the time, I think earliest possible release date would have been 2000. The gameplay wasn't great, the only part I really remember is that you had a swarm of little drones that would go out and build stuff for you, or you could use them to gently caress with the terrain. I spent ages on the maps I played just telling them to harvest all the dirt around the enemy camp so they were left with no place to build, or building an impassably tall wall encircling their camp. It was full 3d, I don't remember much other than brown. Lots and lots of brown. Pretty sure the name was a single word. The other was an RPG, it ran like absolute dogshit. Same timeframe as the first game. You could pick from six or eight characters to play as, and one was a huge lizard man that lagged my computer to death. Full 3d, I have absolutely no other info because the game ran for maybe eight minutes before it would choke itself to death and crash to desktop.

It doesn't seem to be Gothic, though that is tickling my brain a bit, so it may have been similar? Sorry I don't have any more clues. I've been going through storage boxes of old stuff for a while but haven't ever found anything, it may just have to remain a vague memory

Giants: Citizen Kabuto would fit the timeframe and the fact that the giant lizard levels would probably murder a slower PC back then. But it was an action adventure sorta thing.

You could also only really pick from three characters, one was simply represented as a squad of three or four.

Trying to remember the name of a Kingdom Of Loathing style browser game I used to play. It was set in a small town, and started in a school. I'm pretty sure 2 of the locations you could visit were a junkyard/dump and a bakery.

Looking for the name of a game that was absolutely crap, which is why I barely remember it. Some kind of Sci-Fi FPS (and possibly RPG) game, also possibly made by people who made another similar open-worldy game with the same kind of setup in modern times. I think you visited various planets, but they weren't super varied. You ended up either going on a treasure hunt or you always were on one, with a guy and gal in your spaceship, and the game just ended there, like they forgot to make the other half of the game or something. It was most likely translated from another language (German? Eastern Euro of some kind?). I wish I could mention more about it, other than the fact I think there were quests to do. I legit can't recall what was going on in the game because it was so forgettable. evilmiera fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Sep 14, 2020 |

Sounds like it's probably Precursors, which was the sci-fi flavored version of famous jankfests Boiling Point and Xenus II: White Gold. Here's a playlist of a funny youtube man covering all three.

PC educational game from the 80's. It wasn't really gamey, mostly a bunch of lessons on how computer hardware works with the occasional q/a and like one or two mini-games. Simple EGA graphics with not a lot of animation or sound effects.

A 90s shareware-era xenon/1942 type shooter I think, the memorable bit was the sample in the intro: the last tree in the rainforest was cut down today. A spokesman for the Acme Toothpick Company said 'aww. That's too bad'

Less of a game, more of an edutainment software about space. I remember a couple features: it had a gravity comparison tool where you selected a planet and then an astronaut jumped, showing how high his jumps could be in the selected planet; if you selected a gaseous planet the dude just fell to his death  it also had a celestial vault simulator, where you could input current location and date and it would show you the stars you could see at the moment.

What up! Trying to find a game from the mid 90s, probably on the Amiga, which was a turn based top-down alien/monster footballesque sports game. Like mutant league games youd have different combos of monsters that were good or bad at certain things, like a frog that could move really far but couldn't hold the ball for poo poo. Also you could give your team performance enhancing drugs between matches. Any ideas?

It wasn't performance enhancing drugs though, but "illegal equipment" you could buy for players to boost them.

That's the second or third time I've answered that one  Edit: I'm trying to remember a side scrolling game on pc from the late 80s or early 90s. Player character was a person in a space suit. I think it took place on the moon but there were trees (?) and there enemies were birds. Had classical music for the soundtrack. Had EGA graphics and I keep thinking of Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure but it's definitely earlier and less detailed than that. Was almost certainly shareware we got from a magazine because buying new games was very rare for me then. Quote-Unquote fucked around with this message at 23:35 on Sep 22, 2020 |
